Chapter 17
The next morning while they were eating breakfast and talking about their plans for the day Olivia's cell rang. She walked over to the counter and grabbed it. "Olivia Spencer."
"Good morning Olivia it's Mel."
"Oh hi Mel. Hold on just a sec." Olivia walked over to Natalia kissed her softly on the neck. "It's Mel, I'm going to take this on the balcony I won't be long." Natalia smiled and nodded.
Once the balcony doors closed she put the phone back to her ear. "Sorry Mel I'm back. What's up? And if you tell me Frank has done something I'm gonna lose it."
She could hear Mel shuffling papers. "No nothing like that. Sorry to bother you on your trip but I thought you would like to know that I got that signature you wanted from Philip. All I need is Natalia signature and it's all set."
Olivia smiled. "Oh that's great. I need you to fax me a copy before Saturday. I'll bring her in Monday after we get back to sign, I just want to have a copy. I also have some new things I need your help with?"
"Ok I can do that. Do you want me to start on that now or when you get back?"
"I'm not sure," Olivia smiled. "I'm getting my marriage license today and I will need name change documentation filed. The wedding is Saturday, so I'll have that for you when we get back."
Mel was speechless for a second, "You're getting married Saturday?"
Olivia smirked at the dumbfounded sound of her voice. "Yes I am."
"Olivia please tell me you're marrying Natalia?"
She laughed, "Yes Mel I'm marrying Natalia. That's why I want a copy of the papers. I want to give them to her as a wedding present, and Mel I don't want this getting out until we are home and can tell people ourselves."
Mel squealed, she actually squealed. "Oh my god Olivia I am so happy for you two. It's about time. I will have the name change papers ready when you come in Monday, I just need a copy of the marriage license to send off with them after they are signed. The marriage license just needs to be sent in and it will be filed with the California courts and sent back. I will keep this quiet. I am so happy for you. Who needs the name change and what is the name changing to."
Olivia had a few tears at how happy her friend was for her. "Thank you Mel. You're a good friend. Natalia is changing her name to Spencer. I have a list of the other changes I'm making, I will email it to you so I can so you can get started. Mostly it's stuff with the Beacon but I have a few changes to my will as well."
"Ok, get it to me and I will have it ready by Monday. Congratulations Olivia and tell Natalia I said the same."
"Will do Mel, and thank you." They hung up as Natalia was coming out. Olivia walked to her and pulled her in. "Hi baby."
Natalia kissed her lips. "Hi, is everything ok?"
Olivia smiled. "Yes love. I had Mel working on some stuff for me and she knew I would want to know it was finished. I have to email her later some stuff for the Beacon, and she is getting the name change papers ready to be filed. We have a meeting on Monday to finalize everything."
Natalia squealed and kissed her soundly. "Oh Liv, it's almost Saturday. I can't wait. I want to talk to Rafe about the name change. Do you mind if I bring him out now to do so?"
Olivia nuzzled her neck. "No princess, that's fine."
Natalia went to the door and called Rafe out. He came out looking apprehensive. "Is everything ok? Did Mel need something about my case?"
Olivia rubbed his back. "Everything is fine Son. That was just business stuff. Your ma wanted to talk to you about something else but it's nothing bad."
He let out a relieved breath. "Ok, so what's up?"
Natalia smiled. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm changing my name after the wedding to Spencer."
He looked confused. "Ok. I thought that was a give in. Is there something you need my help with?"
"No mijo. Olivia wanted me to make sure it was ok with you that I changed my name."
He smiled. "Of course it is. You're getting married. You're supposed to take your spouse's name. Hell I'd change my name to Spencer if I could."
Olivia was shocked. "You want your name to be Spencer?"
Rafe smiled shyly. "Well yea. You're my mom and we're a family and everyone is a Spencer now but me."
Olivia pulled him in. She looked at Natalia who nodded with a huge smile on her face. "If that's really what you want I will talk to Mel and get it done for you."
Rafe pulled back from the hug shocked. "Really, we can do that? You wouldn't mind."
"Of course we can. You're my son. I would be honored for you to take my name." She said with a tear.
Rafe pulled her into a bone crushing hug. "Thank you mom." Natalia just beamed, tears rolling.
They composed themselves and headed back in to get ready to leave. They had gotten up early and were headed off to the courthouse to file for the marriage license. Surprisingly it didn't take long to get it done and issued. They just needed it signed by the pastor and to have it filed. They headed to The Universal Park from there.
They had VIP tickets so they got to go on a behind the sense tour, then were served an awesome lunch. That also had front line access to all the rides and a personal tour guide through it all. After they rode the rides they wanted and saw the shows they said goodbye to their tour guide and had dinner at Luigi's pizza and found a spot to sit for the fireworks there. Emma wanted to see if they were as good as Disney's fireworks.
The fireworks were nice but Disney had them beat. Emma got up and started kissing her family. Olivia chuckled "Bean is it tradition here to kiss too?"
Emma smiled. "Nope, but I think we should kiss for luck after we watch any fireworks from now on. It's our thing."
They all smiled and agreed, sharing their family kisses. They headed out and Emma had crashed before they even left the parking lot. Once back at the hotel they settled in for bed. They had a big day planned at the California adventure park the next day and the wedding the following day. Everyone was excited, and Olivia and Natalia were getting anxious for their day to come.
California Adventure Park was awesome. It was a lot like Disneyland. Just different rides. They spent a wonderful day riding the rides, playing games and eating more junk than Natalia really liked, but didn't say anything about. She would get them back on track with healthier meals when they got home. At the end of the day they decided to watch the fireworks from their balcony and headed back. Olivia sent off an Email to the judge about how Rafe was doing and headed out with the others to watch the fireworks. Once they were over they put jellybean to bed and made sure they had everything ready for the next day's beach fun and evening wedding. Olivia and Natalia made love and settled into each other's arm falling into a content sleep like they had every night since they declared their love. Tomorrow was going to be the official start to the rest of their lives. They couldn't wait.
