A/N: Hey guys, this is my new story! I had writers block for a while. Now, I think I've gotten my groove back. I know I have a lot of stories going, but this ones been in my head since the Royal Wedding! It's tough being a midshipmen in the Navy and trying to find the time to write, but here ya go!
Prince Fitzgerald Thomas Bernard Rutherford Grant the Third sat across his mother Queen Catrina for brunch. He is the crowned prince of Laconia, a small but prosperous country in Europe. Fitz was very bright, he's a graduate of Oxford University and has his PhD from there. So technically he was a Prince and a PhD Doctor. Now as he and his mother sit in the flower garden, Fitz's mind is wandering off to his father.
"Fitzgerald, are you listening to me?" Fitz was brought out of his daydream as his mother called his name.
"Yes, of course mother."
"Then what was I talking about my son?"
"Ummm well...you...were….talking about….my well being mother…"
"Oh my son, when will you learn that you cannot lie to me…." Catrina smiled at her son.
"I'm sorry mother, I do not mean to be rude. I was just thinking about Father…"
"Oh, Fitzgerald he would be so proud of you. I wish he was here to see you now. My time as Queen is soon coming to an end, and it's time you found yourself a wife that can give me plenty of grandbabies to play with. My son….I have ruled too long by myself without your father, your time is near Fitz….."
"Mother, I am in no hurry to marry…..Why do I have to marry someone to become king? I can do this myself…."
"I know my son, but if you have someone to help you rule our country and to seek advice with…..it will be much better….To have someone you love by your side is like no other my son….." Catrina smiled at her son as she thought about all the women he's been with. There was plenty while he was in high school, but in university the rate was at its highest. Fitz changed women like he changed his clothes, but now he's calmed down a little now that he's carrying out his military duties at the Naval Air base, but Catrina still worried.
Just as Fitz was about to speak Teddy headed towards them. Prince Theodore Henry William Grant, the second born of Queen Catrina and King Fitzgerald Thomas Bernard Rutherford Grant the Second. While Fitz was the serious and quiet one, Teddy as they called him around the Palace was the happy go lucky type. He is currently studying at Harvard University and loves his life. Teddy feels for his brother, the pressure that Fitz is put under is something that he doesn't wish upon anyone else. Teddy is the one that understands Fitz's the most and is always by his side. No matter what Fitz's does, Teddy is always by his side.
"TEDDY!" Fitz gets up and hugs his brother. It seems as the semester has ended and Teddy was home early.
"BROTHER!" Teddy ran up to his brother and hugged him tight.
"I've miss you very much little brother! Look at you! Your hair has grown!"
"Yeah, I'm going to let it grow out! Maybe making a manbun." Teddy pretends to be serious and looks at his frowing mom.
"Why the frown mother? I think he'll look great with a man bun! Think of it Europe's first prince with a man bun! Queen Elizabeth will have a heart attack." Fitz laughs and looks at his mom.
"I'm just kidding mother, I shall cut it before I start my military duties for the summer." Teddy smiles at his mom. "Mother, you've gotten more beautiful since I left!"
"I've missed you Theodore….." Catrina starting crying and hugs his mother.
"I missed you more mother…." Teddy closes his eyes and hugs his mom tighter. Just as the three was about to sit down to eat their meal, Fitz alarm ranged and he had to leave.
"Sorry mother….Duty calls." Fitz kissed his mother on the cheeks and slapped Teddy up.
Olivia Pope was having an amazing time on vacation. She was finally free from her cheating husband and she got soul custody of her son. Olivia looked down at a sleeping Ethan. The Laconia was beautiful! A hidden gem of Europe. They were currently on the boat exploring the small country by boat. Olivia grew a little tired and dozed off to sleep with Ethan in her arms. When Olivia woke up Ethan was not by her side anymore.
"Ethan…." Olivia called out for her son. There was no response.
"Ethan….." Olivia called out again. No response. Now Olivia was getting concerned and she went up tp the captain who was drunk off his ass.
Now Olivia was in full panic mode, searching everywhere for her son. She got on the radio and sent out a distress signal. From her time in the Navy she knew what she was somewhat doing. Soon Laconia Coast Guard arrived and came aboard.
"My son! My son….I think he fell overboard….Please help me!" Olivia was hysterical.
"Okay, ma'am we will look for your son, but first we must get you to safety. There's an upcoming storm coming our way." Soon they arrived at what seems to be a Naval Air base.
"We are sending our Navy's best search and rescue team, we'll find your son ma'am!"
"I'm going with them!"
"No, I'm afraid I cannot allow that…."
"It's my son! I will go with them!" Olivia's voice grew louder.
"Madam….please….."
"NO! LET ME GO! I WANT TO GO HELP FIND MY SON!" Olivia was crying, yelling and struggling to get out of their arms.
"Let her go gentleman…." Olivia heard a baritone voice from behind them. She turned around to the sexiest man she'd ever seen. His bright blues eyes staring into her soul.
"Sir….."
"This woman's son is missing! She has every right to be upset and to join our search party!" Fitz yelled at the Coast Guard.
"But sir….."
"Let. Her. Go. And. She. Is. Coming. With. Us!"
The men looked terrified and nodded and went away.
"Thank you…." Olivia looked at the man in his uniform and gave him a small smile.
"You don't have to thank me, we haven't found your son yet." The man smiled at her and made her heart melt.
"I'm Olivia….Olivia Pope…."
"I'm Fitz…..Now let's go find your son shall we?" Fitz held out his hand and Olivia took it and they both felt the electricity that passed through their bodies.
Fitz and his team got the helicopter ready and prepared. Olivia has informed them that Ethan was wearing a yellow life jacket and showed them pictures of the young boy. Fitz sympathized with her. Fitz studied Olivia and she is a beautiful woman. Absolutely flawless. Soon they were up in the air and searching for her son. An hour turned into two and Olivia was getting terrified now. What if she loses Ethan? He is her life. The weather was getting worse and still they couldn't find Ethan.
Just as they were about to give up, Fitz saw something yellow.
"Ace! Over there! It's him it's Ethan." Fitz yelled in excitement. Olivia cried out in joy as they headed towards Ethan. Ben was usually the person that would rescue the person in the water, but Fitz felt protective of Ethan in some way and told Ben he was going to do it himself.
"But, your highness….."
"No, Ben….I will rescue the boy. Ace, hold it steady." Fitz got ready to head down. Olivia went up to Fitz and hugged him.
"Please get him back safely….."
"Of course Livvie….." With that Fitz was lowered to where Ethan was. When Fitz reached the water and Ethan, the boy was unconscious. Fitz strapped him up and gave the thumbs up. They lifted Ethan first and then the strap came down for Fitz. When Fitz was almost up the strap broke. Fitz was quick to react and held onto the bar. The men inside panicked and worked on getting Fitz up. This was their Crowned Prince after all. Finally they were able to pull him up. Once he was up Olivia hugged him, thanking him a thousand times for saving her son.
Fitz smiled at her and nodded. They flew straight to the hospital where emergency medical crew was waiting for Ethan. They rushed him in and Olivia turned and cried in Fitz's arms. He walked Olivia over to the chairs that was there.
"He will be okay Livvie….I promise…..We have the best medical staff at St. James….."
"How do you know…..?"
"I know because this is the hospital entrusted with the lives of our Royal Family….." Fitz smiled at Olivia. A while later the doctors came out and called for Olivia. Fitz went to take a phone call, while Olivia went with the doctor.
"Ethan, should be fine ma'am. He has hypothermia and a concussion. We will keep him here for several days until he can recover on his own…..But other than that he has no serious injuries…."
"Oh thank GOD!" Olivia sighed in relief.
"Can I see him?"
"Of course ma'am. He's in room 209."
"Ms. Pope…." The doctor smiled at her. Just then Fitz came back.
"YOUR HIGHNESS!" The doctor instantly bowed.
"Dr. Walker, no need for all of the formalities….."
"Sorry Your Highness…."
"No need for apologies….I take it that young Ethan is okay."
"Yes, sir…..It's been a while since we've seen you in here sir…." Olivia observed that Fitz looked sad when the doctor mentioned that he haven't been around.
Once the doctor left, Fitz turned to Olivia.
"Your Highness?"
"Allow me to fully introduce myself Ms. Pope….Fitzgerald Thomas Bernard Rutherford Grant the Third….Crowned Prince of Laconia…."
