"Liv!" Spencer called for her as he entered their bedroom. "I've been callin' you for like a minute now. What chu' doin'?" he found Olivia in their walk-in closet.

"I'm sorry baby" Olivia glanced at him as she dropped her hanger. "I've spent an hour trying to find an outfit for tonight...I'm not having the best of luck" she sighed in defeat.

It was the day before Spencer's grand opening and the family planned a celebratory dinner for him. 

"What's wrong with what chu got on?" he questioned as he crossed his arms. "There's nothin' wrong with them jeans" he pointed and she glanced down.

"Spencer" Olivia said with a straight face.

"Them shits huggin' yo thighs" he smirked and she rolled her eyes. Olivia gently smacked his hand away as Spencer attempted to touch her.

"Baby I'm not going to your celebratory dinner wearing this" Olivia pulled on her jeans. "You know I always dress up for these occasions. It's just now nothin' fits me right now because I'm carrying your child" she crossed her arms.

"My child?" Spencer laughed as he pointed at himself.

"Yes, your child" Olivia nodded and Spencer chuckled.

"Liv I don't want you to stressin' bout what you're goin' to wear at the dinner" Spencer said as he pulled out his wallet. "I want you to feel sexy tonight" he handed her his card.

"Spencer-"

"You go on and get you somethin' nice" Spencer told her and she smiled at him.

"Thank you baby" she captured his lips with hers. Spencer placed his hands on her waist as he deepened their kiss.  Olivia wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he attacked his mouth with her lips. She began to walk backwards as Spencer gently pushed her against the wall.

"Babe" Olivia smiled in between their intense kiss. Her eyes widened as Spencer slipped his tongue in her mouth. "I've got to go" she broke their kiss, stopping the both of them from going any further.

"I know" his hands rested on her waist. 

"We can continue this later" Olivia told him. "I promise" she pecked his lips.

"I'ma hold you to that" Spencer bit the bottom of his lip. "You just let me know when you make it to the mall" his hands traveled toward her ass.

"I will" Olivia smiled at him. "Babe!" she squealed as Spencer smacked her ass.

"How are you feeling?" Simone inquired as she and Olivia walked through the Fox Hills mall. Simone flew in from ATL the night before, to support Spencer and Olivia during the biggest weekend of their lives.

"I'm just glad I haven't had any nausea in a few days" Olivia answered and Simone smiled. "You know I still can't believe we're having another baby" she glanced at her.

"You don't really sound too thrilled about it" Simone mentioned and Olivia frowned.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared" Olivia began. "I didn't even carry Kross to full term. He and I could've died that day in the hospital. I'm not even established in my future career and I'm about to have two kids under the age of two. I'm fucking terrified about this entire thing" she admitted as Simone listened.

"Those are valid feelings and concerns, Liv. But I refuse to let you become consumed by those worrying thoughts" Simone began. "Let's start with the 'lesser' worries...not being established in your career and having two babies under two. Liv, you're 22, outside of Spencer, no one in our circle is established in their lives professionally. You may think you're behind but you're not. You're light years ahead of where you were when we were in high school. And though your journey may be different than ours, do not let that stop you from continuing down your path" she continued and Olivia just listened.
