OLIVIA POV

"Why in the hell are you up so early? It's 7:00 in the morning Spence, come back to bed." I tell my husband as I lie down on the opposite end of the bed. I can tell that this case today is getting to him but I need him to calm down. 

"What's up, baby? Just doing yoga, you know? Trying to relieve this stress before court day." He says and I roll my eyes. Honestly, I think that this trial is pointless because there have been countless times when Jordan has proved that she is not mother-worthy many times. 

"I don't know why you're so stressed. Jordan has proven that she doesn't want to be a mother countless times. I think that we should've had custody of Lani already. Jordan is crazy and she will do anything in her power to separate us." I say and he instantly makes a face. 

"Woah, woah, woah

"Woah, woah, woah....what the hell Liv? That's Lani's mother. I get that you don't like her but that was rude. Jordan has always wanted to be a mother since I met her. It was her dream and for months we couldn't get pregnant and I watched her become suicidal. When she got pregnant, it was great for both of us so before you go calling people crazy, maybe think about the fact that she couldn't get pregnant and how suicidal she was, and the fact that you couldn't carry a damn baby." He says as I just walk right out of the room. 

I have no words. I get that he and Jordan had a past but him defending her like that and saying what he did was not okay. I needed to calm myself down and remember that I had a tiny baby growing inside of me. I make it down the stairs, pull out my phone, and call Kia. 

SPENCER POV 

Why do I keep defending someone who did me completely wrong? She has nothing really important to do with me anymore except bring my child to me when it's my day. I think that this stress is getting the best of me and it is a problem because I am hurting someone who I love deeply. 

I walk downstairs and briefly hear Liv and Kia on the phone. Her body language is letting me know that she is annoyed and unhappy with what was just said. I don't want her stressing over this situation, so I eavesdrop on this conversation to see what I can do to make it up to her. 

"No Kia, he told me everything about Jordan and he also stated that I needed to realize that I can't even carry my baby

"No Kia, he told me everything about Jordan and he also stated that I needed to realize that I can't even carry my baby. Just the other day, he was telling me it wasn't my fault and now he changes up. I feel like a huge part of him is still in love with Jordan." She says as I watch and listen. 

"Jesus Liv, I am so sorry. I thought y'all had worked everything out. You know my place is always open for you. I'm coming over later and giving you a well-deserved girls' night. Just me and you hanging out around the house because Lord knows these kids cannot be anywhere without us." Kia states as I roll my eyes. 

Right before Liv has a chance to say something, I walk out and talk to Kia myself because I need to make things right with my wife. Liv is not hers, she's mine and I need to own up to all the hurtful things I just said. 

"Look Kia, I appreciate you being such a good friend to Liv but I need my wife tonight. I have some making up to do and I need her here to do that. I thank you for putting her well-being in the most important but I need her." I tell her and she just says okay and hangs up. 

AN HOUR LATER 

OLIVIA POV 

"I am Judge Hamilton and I will be leading this case today. We have Ms.Wilson vs. Mr. and Mrs. James. When ready, Ms. Wilson, you have the floor." Judge Hamilton says causing my heart rate to move up and down.

"Well when we think about who Lelani is in the right hands with, it is her mother. Her father is great too but that's not the problem. The problem is Mrs. James. According to some of the files, it shows that Mrs. James is forcing Lelani to call her mommy and we know, she will never be Lani's mother or a good mother at that point. We should also bring up that she has a huge past with alcohol. Not the right environment for a kid like Lani." Her lawyer states making me feel uneasy. 

These battles and arguments go on for a good hour and a half before the judge comes back with a verdict. I cross my fingers, knowing this verdict could either make or break things. 

"I have come to say that I grant sole custody of Lelani Marie James to....Mr. and Mrs. James. They have a stable place for Lani to go to and they know what they are doing. They don't harm the kid nor put her in danger. They have a happy and loving relationship." Judge says and I smile but Jordan stands up and does something that shocks the courthouse. 

SPENCER POV 

"If I can't be a mother to my child, she can't be a mother either." I hear her say as she pulls something out of her purse. 

I tried and stop her but before I could, she shot Liv in the stomach and leg, causing Liv to immediately go down. Not now, I can't lose my wife. I need her here with me. I call the medic and they are on the scene within 20 seconds taking Liv to the hospital, I can't lose her now.

HEY YALL...sooo Jordan shot Liv. There was tons to unpack in this chapter but none of that matters because my girl just literally got shot in the stomach and in her leg. Jordan is a crazy bitch and I am surprised no one checked her bag before she walked into the courthouse. I just hope my girl is okay.

Chapter Questions: Do you like Liv and the baby are okay? Was Spencer wrong for what he said to Liv? Who do you think made Jordan do this? Do you fully trust Kia?
