Don't Change

Today isn't just any old day for Spencer and Olivia, and that's exactly why their house is packed with the people that mean the most to them. Spencer, who stood in the kitchen, couldn't help but smile as he glanced out at all these people that had come together to celebrate. Darnell, who had flown in from New York, was seated on the couch talking to Jordan, Chris, and JJ. Coop stood to Spencer's left, catching up with Dillon and Asher. Billy and D'Angelo were standing near the patio doors sharing a laugh while Laura and Grace were chatting near the stairs. Patience, Jen, Layla, and Simone were laughing at something that Keisha had said to Nathaniel as they took up the seats outside in the backyard.

Smiling to himself at the sight of his family, Spencer's smile doubled in size when he felt someone holding onto his leg. He reached down and picked up his daughter who was her mothers carbon copy.

"Daddy, I have cake?" His three-year-old daughter, Aaliyah asked with those big doe eyes that he was a sucker for.

"Sure baby, but after dinner. Mommy will be mad if I give it to you before."

He placed kisses all over her face as the sound of her laughter drew the attention of the rest of their family. No one could hide their smiles from the sight of Spencer getting to be the father that they always knew he could be. As he placed his little girl on the ground and watched her run towards Simone, her favorite person on the planet, arms made their way around his waist, and he was met with the sight of a diamond ring and a wedding band that matched the one her wore on his own left hand.

"Mrs. James, looks like we've got a full house." He said as he brought her left hand up so that he could kiss it before turning around to wrap his arms around his wife.

Olivia smiled, "Well we did give them all something to celebrate. Wedding anniversaries are a big deal in this family, and we've made it to year number 10. They just want us to know that they love us."

Before Spencer could respond to Olivia, the sound of running feet passed them in the kitchen. Spencer went to call the names of the culprits, but his mother beat him to it.

"Samuel Jordan James, I know you're not running in the house." Grace said causing SJ to stop dead in his tracks.

"Travis Baker, don't make me call your mother over here." Laura called to her youngest grandson as both she and Grace shot the two boys the look that only a mother can give. Both boys apologized and walked to the backyard where'd they become Simone's problem.

"Every time SJ and his cousin get together, they find some trouble to go with the good time." Olivia said while laughing.

Spencer, distracted by the sight of his wife, turned Liv's head so they were facing each other. "I'm so in love with you." He whispered before pressing their foreheads together.

"I've never loved anyone the way that I love you." Olivia said as she glanced at his lips. "I'm so in love with you too."

Before the couple could get lost in their own little bubble, Grace was calling everyone towards the living room.

"Everyone, please take a seat, we're going to watch Spencer and Olivia's wedding video."

Spencer made his way to the couch, pulling Olivia into his lap, before reaching over to help their daughter get onto the couch.

"I sit with Monie!" Aaliyah said while crawling over to Simone.

"You don't want to sit with me?" Dillon teased his niece.

"No Uncle Dilly, I go with Monie." She responded while snuggling into Simone even more.

"You can't blame her; she takes after her Uncle Jordan." Simone teased, causing everyone to laugh.
