A/N: Family chaos, being at the end of your master's degree, and living in my head is why ya'll haven't seen much from me. Some inspo hit today and I had to write it down so I wouldn't lose it, especially given the most recent episodes of AA not sitting well with me. Enough ranting, hope you guys liked it. 

The jiggle of keys turning into the front door sounded above the ceiling of the three story home Spencer and Olivia had built from the ground up and lived in for almost four years now. The clocked ticked past 10:30 at night as they entered their home. Spencer tossed the keys on the table where the night lamp stood tall letting his wife walk past him without an word. She sat down on the steps, pushing up her dress, crossing one leg against the other.

"Dinner was nice"

"Yeah it was," Olivia responds dryly, glancing up at him briefly as she started to play with the strap on the heel of one foot. He bent down to her level, taking her foot in his palm, helping her with the strap before she rested her hand on top of his.

"I got it"

"I wanna help you bab-"

"I got it, it's okay" She didn't let him continue as she forcefully brushed his hand away, kicking the heel from her foot. He watched the heel tumble down the steps as she unstrapped the other from her ankle and kicked it down as well, planting her feet to the carpet.

"I'm gonna shower and get ready for bed," She stood up placing one foot in front of the other ready to head to their room until Spencer caught her arm, pulling her back to him.

"Maybe we should talk about it"

"Talk about what Spencer?" She sighed to herself making sure she didn't create eye contact, because if she had, her resolve would crumble.

"Liv please, I know your bothered by what was said"

"Spencer, don't be ridiculous, it was just an typical night of two couples catching up, no harm was done" She shrugged, leaning forward to peck his cheek not giving him an chance to protest.

"Liv...."

"I'll see you up there" She turned away, rushing up the stairs leaving him at the bottom unsettled in his thoughts. He took an few short breaths, walking around the sofa before falling into the cushions. He sat up, unloosening his tie, removing his suit jacket and shoes. He rested his head on the armrest, placing one hand behind his head with his eyes glued to the high ceiling. The couple were on one accord as one piece of their union was deep in his psyche, so was his better half, just few feet away upstairs in the comfort of their master suite. Olivia looked into the mirror, removing her earrings slowly setting them down on the dresser. She reached behind her back, letting her fingers land on the zipper as her dress came down. Her panties slid to her legs while she unstrapped her bra, tying her hair up into an messy bun. She walked into the bathroom, closing the door quietly behind her squeezing her frame underneath the waterfall. As the steam filled up the closed space, Olivia's mind reverted back to tonight's topics at dinner, never once believing that her husband was thinking about the same thing.

Few Hours Before

"Girl you look like you're about to pop!" Olivia raved towards Darnell's expectant wife.

"I feel like I'm bout to pop, but baby girl isn't supposed to make her arrival for another 6 weeks so I'm just hoping little one keeps herself in there for that long" Kiara rubbed her belly lovingly with an smile as Olivia and Spencer turned their heads to one another, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yo that's dope, I can imagine how excited my boy must be, he's dreamed of being an father ever since we both got drafted into the league," Spencer joins in the conversation shooting an look to his bestfriend on and off the field.
