Summary
Bobby Nash stood on the balcony of the Minnesota Governor's office, looking out over the frozen lake in the distance. Behind the thick glass, the world seemed silent. Only echoes of the past echoed in his mind-the sound of May's laughter as a child, Harry's cries that he could never quell, and Athena's face as she left without looking back. They were once a couple that the public applauded: Bobby Nash, a young progressive politician from the north, and Athena Carter, the only daughter of Samuel Carter, the legendary Governor of California. Their 2001 wedding was a grand affair in Sacramento, broadcast nationwide-more a confirmation of an alliance between two political forces than a true love story.
And, everything changed.
The political conflict between Ann Nash and Samuel Carter erupted, starting with a difference in stance on immigration laws, and ending with a split that swept through their family. Athena chose to stand by her father's side, and Bobby... was left behind. The kids follow Athena to California, while Bobby stays in Minnesota, trying to fill the void with work and work-until one thing haunts him every night: one more embryo. One more possibility. One hope that hadn't died.

Summary
Remember "The Plan" Fitz presented to Mellie in S2 X 22 in Cyrus' hospital room? What if Fitz & Olivia had actually implemented it as they moved forward into his re-election campaign? What new challenges & opportunities would it bring to their relationship as they journey towards the light?
This is also a semi-sequel to my previous long fic - Even Lovers Drown, so you might want to go and read that first...
