Olivia Baker

It's been two weeks since Olivia and Spencer decided to go on a break. The transition wasn't easy but Olivia knew deep down that it was the best option for them. She missed Spencer dearly but was willing to commit on getting their marriage back on track, even if it meant temporarily separating for awhile.

"Happy birthday, Liv!" Jordan told her. "You are the most annoying human being I know but I love you" he continued and she flipped him off.

"Whatever Jordan" Olivia playfully rolled her eyes.

"And thank you for making me an uncle" he told her and she smiled. "I love my nephew. That's my little fella" he laughed.

"He loves you too" Olivia told him. "How's your trip going in ATL? I hope you and Simone are enjoying each other's company" she said.

"Simone and I are having a great weekend.  You know she's great at planning surprises. I don't think she'll top this birthday weekend" he mentioned and she smiled. "How about you and your friends? How's Santa Barbara?" he inquired.

"It's...going well" she gave a half-smile. "The girls have brunch planned for the day, so I'll have to get ready soon.  I am enjoying my time but I do miss the kids though" she spoke.

"And Spencer" Jordan smirked and Olivia stayed quiet. "The feelings are mutual on his end though, based on conversations we've had. This break hasn't been easy but you're managing well" he told her.

"I just never thought I'd spend my birthday without him" Olivia mentioned and he frowned. "Last year we barely knew one another and yet he still made it special" she continued.

"Well-"

"Hold on, Jordan. We just spoke him up. This is Spencer calling me right now" Olivia's stomach dropped as Spencer's FaceTime notification popped up on her screen. "I will call you back" she told him and he nodded.

Olivia accepted his phone call and waited for his screen to connect. She instantly smiled as Kross and Angel popped up on her screen.

"Say, 'Happy birthday to Mommy and Liv!'" Spencer said in the background.

"Thank you my babies" Olivia blew a kiss at them. "My goodness they are both too cute!" Olivia's smile grew wide. Kross had on a shirt that said 'Mama's boy' and Angel wore a 'happy birthday' headband.

Angel reached for Spencer's phone and smiled in the camera. 

"Hi baby girl" Olivia smiled at her. "I'll be back home soon" she said as Angel babbled her words.

"What chu' got planned for the rest of the day?" Spencer inquired as he grabbed his phone from Angel. Olivia's heart fluttered as he stared at her through his camera.

"The girls and I are going to brunch. But I'm not too sure what the night will entail" Olivia answered and he nodded his head. "What about you and the kids? You have anything planned?" she asked.

"I was thinkin' about takin' the kids to the aquarium" Spencer told her. "Kross won't know what's goin' on but I believe it'll be somethin' different for Angel to enjoy" he continued.

"That sounds fun" she gave a half-smile. There was a moment of silence between before Spencer spoke up again.

"Well...I'ma let you get your day started" Spencer cleared his throat.

"You as well" Olivia nodded her head.

"Happy birthday, Liv" Spencer told her and she thanked him. She then ended the call and placed her phone on the night stand.
