Olivia Baker

"Hi, baby!" Olivia cooed while on FaceTime with her son. Jordan had called her a few minutes prior to check in with her. "How'd he do last night? Did you change his diaper? And make sure he doesn't have a diaper rash, Jordan! Have you fed him? Did he-"

"Olivia, relax" Jordan chuckled at his sister. "He did extremely well last night, thankfully. I was a bit worried myself but he was good. He gave mom and I no problem" he answered as held his phone close to Kross' face.

"I was feeling a bit guilty and scared to leave him ...but I am glad that he did well with you both" Olivia said as she smiled at her son. "How was Angel?" she inquired.

"She definitely missed you and Spencer" Jordan answered and Olivia smiled. "But I guess she's experiencing what children her age eventually experience. I'm talking about separation anxiety" he explained and Olivia nodded her head.

"You googled that, didn't you?" Olivia squinted her eyes and Jordan nodded his head. 

"I just wanted to make sure she was good. How was your evening with Spencer?" Jordan inquired and Olivia's face dropped. Olivia's silence had been loud. "Never mind...your face and the silence answered it for me. What did Spence do this time?" Jordan chuckled.

"He did nothing wrong, he was just being a concerned husband. We had dinner last night at 71above" she began and Jordan listened.

"The restaurant on the 71st floor? With the panoramic views of the city?" Jordan asked and Olivia nodded her head 'yes'. "Man...I'm hoping to take Simone there when she visits again. Was the food-"

"Jordan!" Olivia cut him off and Jordan quickly closed his mouth. "Let's focus on the story and then we can discuss the food afterwards. The night had been going well between Spencer and I...until I mentioned Quinten" she continued.

"I remember him...good dude" Jordan mentioned as he thought back to his first interaction with Quinten. "But...why did you mention him?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"It wasn't intentional...it just happened. Q and I got back in contact a few weeks ago and....why are you making that face?" Olivia frowned at her brother.

"I just...don't have a good feeling about this" he answered truthfully. "There's nothing wrong with Q..he's a solid dude. But as your brother, and someone who wants you to be happy, leave that part of your life closed" he advised.

"I hear you..." Olivia nodded her head. "Which is why I've decided to stop all communication with him. Trying to maintain a friendship with him isn't worth it. We are both at different points in our lives" she said and he agreed.

"I am glad you are smart" Jordan chuckled. "You had me worried there for a bit" he said.

"I honestly find it odd that he just randomly popped back into my life. We've crossed paths more often than normal" she mentioned. "But then again...Los Angeles is hella small" she said and Jordan agreed.

"What chu doin' up so early?" Spencer inquired as he entered the common area. "Oh what's up, Jordan!" he waved 'hello' to his brother in law.

"What's up Spence!" Jordan greeted him.

"Show him our son, Jordan!" Olivia instructed as she gave Spencer her phone.

"Hi, papa" Spencer's eyes sparkled with happiness. "I hope you ain't been givin' yo uncle J a hard time" he said and Olivia smiled.

"I was just telling Olivia he had a great night" Jordan said and Spencer nodded. "I'm starting to see a bit of you in him bro...but he's still Liv's twin" he mentioned and Spencer agreed.
