Back at home, Olivia glanced at her phone for the tenth time in less than an hour.

"Come on Kia, where the hell are you?"

Olivia whispered yelled as she paced the living room floor in angst. Luckily, Mina's best friend's mom Tammy had already picked the girls up so Olivia wouldn't have to drop her off. She paused going to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge to sip on. Her fingers graced the edge of the island with her head slightly tilted as she felt the coldness of the water slide down her throat closing her eyes as it calmed her nerves an bit. She flipped the top again, taking a few large gulps before setting it down on the table. Her nails tapped against the marble as her eyes averted to the tiny black box across from her body. She chewed on her bottom lip, slowly walking over to the box, gliding her hands across the top, opening it, taking a chance to admire the ring again. Her lips curved in a short smile as she pulled the piece of jewelry out. The minute her hands contacted with the ring, another vision formed in her mind, giving her that familiar headache and Spencer's face in her head, again.

Liv's POV

I know I shouldn't be curious, but I am, where did the ring come from, why does he have it? How long has he had it, is...was....no that couldn't be. Or maybe he's saving it for someone else? I mean, he wouldn't be wrong but if this were true, does that mean everything that's been happening lately, our increased closeness, the kiss from the airport and the way it made my heart skip a million beats without any effort, was that all in my head?

"Get outta your head Liv" Liv mumbled to herself and suddenly she felt an jolt in her abdomen, causing her to gasp an little.

"Okay little one, look at you making your appearance, you want mommy to get out of her head too?"

The jolt came again with more pressure applied, jerking her forward. Her hands gravitated around her stomach, rubbing it down softly with a smile to her face.

"Alright fine, you win, little one, I'll get out of my head...and figure this out, whatever this is, with your father, but in the meantime, you stay put, okay? Mommy don't want you coming before you're ready, you hear? & in case you didn't already know this, I love you....so much..."

Her eyes watered as her eyes rose to the ceiling trying to contain her tears. She lifted two fingers to her lips and pressed them down to her stomach. Just then, she heard a loud banging at the door causing her to jump a little.

"I see your tete is finally here" Olivia spoke to her stomach as she walked to the door.

"Girl, what you been doing? Manual labor? What took you so long?" Olivia asked while Kia said nothing walking into the house as she closed it.

"Sorry, I um, I had to arrange a few things before I came" Olivia's eyes furrowed sensing something was off with her.

"K, you, okay?"

Kia's eyes started to fill with tears as she looked up at Olivia. Olivia pulled her into her chest and without warning, she began to sob hard. Olivia rubbed her back, consoling her. She wasn't sure what's got her friend so distraught, but she prayed she would find out tonight. Kia pulled away as Olivia pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear taking her hand.

"Come on, let's sit down" Olivia led them to the couch as Kia slowly sank into the sofa, trying to hold her composure. Olivia sat next to her, placing her hand on her leg.

"Tell me what's up Kia?"

"Does your brother love me Liv?" Olivia gave off a confused look as to where that question would come from.

"Kia, why would you ask that, of course Jordan loves you, what on earth would make you thi-"

Kia abruptly cut her off.
