Chapter 22

Olivia woke the next morning to an empty bed. It took her a moment to orientate herself. For a moment she thought it might have all been a dream. Then she realized she was still naked and felt her wedding rings.

She didn't like waking up alone one bit. She got up and put on one of Natalia's robes and went to her old room, threw on some sweats and headed down stairs.

She was greeted with the smells of breakfast and her son and daughter's laughter. She stood in the doorway for a moment smiling at the scene then walked in over to Natalia and wrapped her arms around her from behind.

Natalia smiled and leaned back into her as Olivia kissed her neck. "Good morning querida."

Rafe and Emma called over "Morning mommy" "Morning mom" at the same time.

Olivia tightened her arms kissing her again. "Good morning babies. Good morning princess. I have to say that I do not like waking up alone. I got used to being in your arms upon waking." she said with a pout.

Natalia shifted the pan on the stove to a burner that was off and turned in her arms wrapping her arms around Olivia's neck. "I'm sorry honey. Emma needed breakfast and I thought you might like the extra sleep."

Olivia shook her head. "I think I would have preferred to wake up with you. Can you please wake me from now on so I don't wake thinking I dreamed it all?"

Natalia leaned in and gave her a loving thorough kiss. "It's not a dream querida, but I will wake you from now on."

Olivia kissed her sweetly, "Good, thank you." She pecked her again and moved over and poured herself a cup of coffee than sat with the kids. Natalia went back to her cooking.

Rafe swallow and turned to Olivia, "So what's the plan for today?"

Olivia thanked Natalia as she set her plate in front of her. "The three of us have a meeting with Mel to make you official legal Spencer's. Then we have to head in to the Beacon to get you on payroll and prepare for the staff meeting I had Greg set up."

Emma looked up to her, "Mommy can I go with everyone else today?"

Olivia chuckled, "No Bean. We have to work and you have school baby. Jane is picking you up from school, but she is bringing you to the Beacon after she gets you." She looked back to Rafe. "If you could help us this evening I want to switch beds from my old room to our room."

Rafe nodded "Sure mom, no problem."

Natalia sat and they finished breakfast. Emma ran up when she was done and finished getting dressed and Natalia got her on the bus as Olivia headed up to shower and change for the day.

She had just finished rinsing her hair when Natalia got in behind her wrapping her arms around her and resting her head on her back. "I figured I'd make up for not waking you and continue our morning shower routine." She kissed her shoulder blades.

Olivia shivered at the contact. "Mmm, I loved this part of our vacation routine. I would not be opposed to continuing this every morning." She turned in her arms and kissed her deeply.

It was an hour before they finally made their way down stairs to meet Rafe. He was standing in front of the living room mirror in a light grey three piece suit, trying to tie his teal tie.

Olivia chuckled, "Here son, let me."

She re-tied it and straightened his jacket. They smiled and he turned to Natalia. Her breath caught, "Oh mijo, you look so handsome baby." She walked over and caressed his face.

Olivia places a hand on his shoulder. "This boy was made to wear a suit. I can see why Ava went with the three piece. You look dashing son."

Rafe beamed, puffing out his chest. "I'm a stud." They all laughed and headed out for the day.

They got to Mel's office and were shown in to see her. She stood and came around the desk and hugged them both. "Congratulation, I am so happy for you. I thought you'd never get together."

Natalia smiled, "It may have taken us a while but she's mine now." They laughed and sat down.

Olivia handed their Marriage license to her, and she handed a set of papers to Natalia and Rafe. "These are your name change forms. Just initial the bottom of the first page and sign the last page."

Smiling they both signed and handed them back. Mel took them and handed Natalia another set. "These are the adoption papers for Emma. The places you need to sign are marked."

Natalia beamed and Rafe looked confused. "Adoption papers?"

Olivia smiled. "I gave your mom legal rights to Emma. We will now share custody."

Rafe was excited. "That is so awesome."

Natalia handed the papers back with a tear in her eyes. She leaned over and kissed Olivia softly. "Thank you baby." Olivia beamed, happy she made her wife so happy.

Mel handed her another set of papers. "This is Olivia's medical and financial power of attorney. You don't need to sign them but you need a copy. These are a copy of her will."

She turned to Olivia with another copy. "This copy you need to sign. All the changes you wanted are there. 60% of the Beacon and all business holdings will go to Natalia Spencer and the rest will be divided up between Ava, Rafe, and Emma Spencer. All of your personal holdings are to go to Natalia Spencer and a trust is set up for Ava, Rafe and Emma Spencer. The rest is the same as before."

Olivia signed, chucking at the looks on Natalia and Rafe's face. Mel handed her the next set of papers. "These are the transfer of Beacon ownership stating that you and Natalia now share equal ownership, and this adds Natalia to your business and personal bank accounts."

Mel paused sorting through more papers. Natalia leaned over to Olivia, "Honey, are you sure about this? Are you sure you want me to have so much and not the kids?"

Olivia took her face in her hands. "You are my wife and I love you. I will take care of you and share everything with you. That's all there is to it, and if something happens to happen to both of us everything is split equally between all three of them. It's what I want,"

Natalia nodded and kissed Olivia softly. "I do too. Do I just transfer all of my bank account into our joint account now? I have some savings and what's in my checking account."

Olivia released her face and took her hand. "That would probably be the easiest unless you want to keep those accounts separate."

Natalia shook her head. "You have merged everything you have for both of us. I don't want to keep anything separate."

Olivia nodded and turned back to Mel who handed her another set of papers. "This is the new title for the farm house. Just sign where indicated,"

Olivia smiled and Natalia rubbed her back as she leaned forward to sign. "See, I already started to merge things as well. I called Mel Friday to ask her to change it for me."

Olivia leaned back and brought her hand up to kiss it. "See, great minds think alike."

Mell handed her the last of the papers, "and these are power of attorney for Natalia's medical and financial well-being."

Mel stacked the papers and sat back. "I think that's everything. You are officially as married in this state as well as California. You should be all set."

Natalia leaned forward a bit. "Can you draw me up a will? I guess it should say about what Olivia's does. I'm not sure how to write it up."

Mel took out a pad of paper. She, Olivia, and Natalia discussed how things should be worded and got it all down for Mel to write up.

Mel finished writing and set her pen down. "Ok, I will get this wrote up and call when it's ready for your signature. I will file all that needs filed, get the will done and get you copies of everything."

They stood and shook hand then hugged. Olivia smiled, "Thank you for everything Mel. You take such good care of everything."

Mel beamed, "Well that's what you keep me on retainer for. You keep me in Prada and Gucci."

They all laughed then the Spencer's headed off to work. They decided on the way to stop in at Company, figuring Frank should be at the station that time of morning, and get some coffee on the way in.

They entered and went to the counter, Blake came up to them. "Hey guys, what can I get you today?"

Natalia smiled, "Three coffees, a blueberry muffin and two banana nut muffins."

Blake just looked stunned and confused turning to Olivia. "Since when do you let someone else order for you? You always get the donuts with your coffee."

Olivia flinched a little and looked apologetically to Natalia, who was giving her a stern look. "I'm sorry, won't happen again." Natalia nodded and her face softened.

Olivia looked back over to Blake then to Natalia in question. Natalia nodded smiling and Olivia addresses Blake again. "Since my wife takes better care of me then I do myself."

Blake just stared open mouthed for a moment causing Rafe to chuckle and Blake to snap out of it. "W...wife? You're married? When?" Blake was in shock.

Natalia smiled. "We got married Saturday while on vacation with our kids."

Buzz came out of the back as Blake was stammering out her questions, "So, you two finally figured it out?"

Natalia looked over to him stunned but Olivia laughed. "Figures you'd see through me old man."

Buzzed laughed as well and turned to Blake. "You owe me a 100 bucks lady." Blake sighed and nodded.

It was Olivia and Natalia's turn to stare open mouthed. "What was the bet?" Olivia asked incredulously.

Blake sighed again. "I bet that you wouldn't admit it until summer was over if not after. Buzz said it would happen before school even let out."

Olivia and Natalia were still stunned and Rafe was full on laughing. Natalia smacked him playfully. "How did you two know when we hadn't even admitted it to each other?"

Blake lay a hand on her arm. "Oh sweetie, anyone who spends any time around you two alone or you guys with the kids could see it if they were paying attention."

They all laughed. Olivia looked to Buzz, "Frank may be a problem. After her scared Emma the week before we went on vacation we took out a restraining order. That wasn't the first problem we have had with him."

They explained all that had happened. Blake and Buzz were appalled. Olivia looked worried, "I'm sorry but this will probably be the last time we are going to be in for a while. I don't want to run the risk of running into him if we can help it."

Buzz nodded, "I understand. If you guys want anything from here I will deliver it to you. I know how much you all like the food here and Emma will be upset if she doesn't get my sunday's and burgers."

Olivia smiled, "Thank you Buzz, she will appreciate, and I know we do as well." Olivia and Natalia hugged him and Blake then took their coffee and Olivia tried to pay.

Buzz held up a hand. "Not today, congratulation again on the wedding. I am so happy for you two."

They hugged again and headed out not seeing Frank standing off to the side of the kitchen door seething with rage.
