SPENCER POV
I hate being away from Liv and Angel. The practice schedule is brutal and I was supposed to come home in a few days but since some guys can't get their shit together, we have to stay for an extra 3 weeks. Breaking this news to Liv is going to be hard and I know it's gonna be tough.
I call Olivia and she picks up on the second ring. I instantly hear Angel crying in the background and Liv sniffing which breaks my heart. She's been having the roughest time with her since I left.
"Hey baby, I can't wait to see you. Angel's been giving me hell." She tells me and I feel bad knowing she'll gonna deal with that for 3 more weeks.
"About tomorrow, I want to rip this bandaid off because I know this is gonna hurt. There were a few guys on the team who couldn't get their shit together so Coach called a meeting to tell us that we will be here for another 3 weeks." I tell her as I hear silence on the other end.
"3 weeks Spence? Alright, that's fine. It's not like you can leave, Coach needs everyone there. I'll tough it out for a few more weeks. Oh, I forgot to tell you, we have a new neighbor." She tells me and I nod.
"You are the strongest woman I know. With her not sleeping through the night, I know how much of a toll it takes on you but you just get through the day and I admire that so much about you. As for our new neighbor, have you met em yet?" I ask and she says "no".
"Hopefully, I run into her today and I can introduce myself or something. Angel.....baby please...okay bottle it is." She says frustratingly. I just watch as she stressfully and tiredly feeds her.
"Imma let you go. You seem busy but I enjoyed this talk and please baby rest. I love you" She tells me as I blow kisses at Angel.
"A'ight. Love y'all too. You do the same. Call my mom if you need to." I tell her knowing what I just said, probably just went out the window.
I miss them so much.
OLIVIA POV
"How's Lani? That's great! When I told her she was spending the week at Grandma's, she was so happy. I know she's still getting adjusted to being an older sibling so as long as she's happy and getting all the attention she needs, it makes me happy." I tell Grace over FaceTime.
"Are you happy? What going on honey?" Grace asks and I break down.
"It's just so hard. I feel like I'm already failing as a mother because I can't get her to latch on or I can't soothe her like how Spence can. I also feel guilt because of how much attention we gave Angel and not Lelani, I guess it's just first-time mom guilt." I tell her as I wipe my tears.
Being this vulnerable seems so weird but I am honestly glad that I can express my feelings with someone who understands what I'm going through. She gives me some advice and I take it. We say our "goodbyes" and "I love yous", and then I hear a knock at the door.
"Hi, I'm Hannah, your new neighbor. I wanted to stop by and introduce myself." She says and I look at her. She's a very pretty lady. Do I really care though....no.
"Hi Hannah, I'm Olivia. Most people call me Liv. It's so good to meet you! You wanna come in?" I ask her and she nods, walking into the house.
"You're house is just....wow. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?" She asked and I chuckled.
"Funny you ask, I own a multimillion-dollar real estate firm here in the DFW area. I'm everywhere but my main office is here. My husband, on the other hand, plays in the NFL. So you have income coming in both ways." I say.
Right as she is about to say something, the baby monitor sounds, letting me know that Angel is awake. I ask her to wait a minute while I go and get her and she understands.
"Yeah....did you sleep good? I assume so just because of how happy you are." I say walking back out to the living room.
I see Hannah staring and I wonder what's going through her head.
HANNAH POV
God, her daughter is adorable. She'd be the perfect addition to our family more than this family. I've done my research and read up on the couple. They have a nice family but they don't need this baby, I do. After being told I was infertile, my marriage was on the line and I had to find a family....so this was the one we ended up choosing.
"Olivia, she's the spitting image of you. She's the cutest." I tell her as I watch her embrace the infant.
"Thank you! I honestly think she looks like her dad. We're in love with her and will do anything to keep our babies safe." She tells me and I arch my eyebrow.
"Oh, my bad. We have a toddler....so it's this cute and my other baby." She states again and I sort of smile.
"You want a tour?"
"Yeah," I say as we walk around the house.
The plan is a go!
Spence is in NY for 3 more weeks. Liv has to hold down the fort but it looks like she has a "friend" to help time fly while Spencer is gone. Liv and Grace mended fences and now she's here for her daughter-in-law like never before and will protect her and her grandbabies with her life.
Hannah.....I already don't like her but she'll definitely be a good friend for Liv until the truth is revealed. I think that they'll find comfort in each other. The good thing is...they are both married so....Hannah stay with your man and leave Spencer alone.
Chapter Questions: Should Hannah's husband become a threat to Spence's football career? How do we feel about Hannah? How many more chapters do you want of this book before a sequel? Should we do a trilogy? Did Liv tell Hannah too much information?
