Say You Want Me

A/N: Listen to the song while you read!

"I think it's a good idea for you to move here"

Kianna said while working in the kitchen. Spencer and Darnell left to go handle some work on the lot, so since the two women were alone, Kianna took the opportunity to try to sell Olivia on all the ideas she's concocted in the last few hours.

"Do you know me at all? I look like the type of girl who could wake up in the country? I don't do dirt, I don't do bugs. I don't do heat. I'll die out here because an bear will eat me! I'm an city girl. I can't handle not being able to shop, eating out, and honestly life here overall"

"You'd have us" She kept her eyes down as she spoke.

"Ohh no you didn't"

Olivia saw right through the game Kianna was playing. Kianna didn't want to leave New York, but she had no choice. Olivia did have an choice in the matter. She didn't have to live here. She could afford life on her own. Would it suck? Yes but she could manage. Coming to Harlem would be more of an upheaval than having an baby in New York.

"You're not using this to get what you want here" Her eyes shot up, placing the knife on the counter.

"I'm not using anything. Look" Her features softened.

"You're up there, all alone. Your parents aren't close. Your brothers are gone. I'm here. I want to know my niece or nephew. Staying here would be easier for you, Liv. You'd have an full support system, I just think you're being stubborn"

"I'm not! I can't move here, I can't give up everything because Spencer lives here, and I live there. What about my bakery? What about my life, Ki? I feel like I'm fucked either way"

"You have Eric at the bakery. He's more than capable of handling things for an little while. It's the reason you brought her on in the first place" Kianna throws back at her.

"And as for your life? Boo, it's going to be all about the baby. You'll see. It's the most rewarding responsibility you'll ever have" Olivia groaned under her breath.

"Well I'm not ready for all this. I don't want kids. I mean I did, at first, in theory, but the more years that passed me by, the more okay I became with not having them. Now I'm having an baby with an man who lives several states away. I hate that. This isn't ideal" Kianna pauses, then her face glowed.

"What if you stayed until the baby is born? Or maybe until the wedding and see how you feel then?"

"I need an drink" She grumbled.

"But I can't have one! I already hate being pregnant" Kianna chuckles going back to her cooking.

"If you only knew, sis"

"You can be quiet now"

"As you wish" Kianna teased, busying herself.

They sit in comfortable silence. Olivia gave herself an few minutes to calm down and start mentally making an pros and cons list. She couldn't believe she was considering this. She loves Harlem- in theory. It was peaceful, full of tradition and beautiful homes. So much history she didn't have to search for. It's just not her home and she could find plenty of history in New York. Here, she'd have to cook. Her coming there also means she'd lose the bakery and dropping the one thing she's managed to do on her own. The pros were the people. Kianna, Noah, Jonah, her family, Darnell, Spencer, and his family. They'd be here to help with the baby, and they've already accepted her into the family. She also couldn't ignore that when she's in New York, she misses Kianna and the boys. She'd be lying if she said she didn't miss them living so close again.
