Third Time's the Charm

I'm Only Human (December 13, 2011) (Week 12)

Olivia sat on her chair on set, after filming a day for a movie she was doing. Often, she would get breaks due to the fact that she was pregnant. Since a majority of her filming was standing up, she had talked to the director. Luckily, the movie was about filmed by now. So, she was allowed to sit out if she liked. Most of her scenes were over with, but as she was the lead, she had a few more scenes left to do. Amanda and Benedict arranged it so that she was allowed to have someone on set with her. They were very protective of her and she liked it. Her parents weren't allowed on set, again due to Benedict and his parents convincing. So, she was well protected and didn't have anything to fear.

Or so she thought.

To Olivia's relief, the morning sickness and round ligament pain had gone away a few days earlier. She didn't feel like she was in agonizing pain every day so Benedict was relieved. There really was no pain, but she had symptoms. Often, when she went pee, she would find a clear discharge in her panties. Along with other bodily fluids. It was pretty gross to her, but she knew it was just pregnancy. She had experienced it several times before. She also got pretty bad headaches. Often, they would be triggered easily. Benedict made sure to keep whatever was triggering her away. Headaches sometimes were only solved by sleep which she wanted to do plenty of. The last symptom she had was dizziness. Often, she'd get up and have a hard time walking right. Benedict almost always was there to make sure she was alright. So, her symptoms weren't the greatest, but hey, it was pregnancy.

Yesterday, Benedict and Olivia had started taking belly photos. She stood sideways so that her belly was showing. Only his parents, Martin and Amanda had seen. It was still early enough that they didn't want to tell anybody. Olivia's parents knew but they weren't interested. They pretended that they were offended by Olivia not telling them. Benedict was quick to her defense as were Martin and Amanda. They loved taking belly photos. It made Benedict happy to see his wife's belly where his newest child currently was. They also had scheduled an appointment for January but it wasn't when they'd find the gender.

Anyways, Olivia was sitting with Amanda, Wanda and Benedict on set while Martin was babysitting all four kids. The three had decided on hanging out in Olivia's trailer, where there'd be more privacy for Olivia, especially with her dizziness. Amanda had brought some ice cream while Benedict brought her some fruit. The two were determined to keep Olivia happy and healthy during her pregnancy. 

A knock was heard at her door and Olivia flinched, nearly falling off the couch from shock. With a gentle hand, Benedict pulled her up and Amanda went to answer the door. It shocked Olivia, but she wondered if it was Martin with the kids. Or maybe it was Tim here to take Wanda back home. Whoever it was, it had startled the baby. 

"Are you expecting anyone, love?" Benedict asked gently, as Wanda took Olivia's empty container for her and sat back down.

Olivia shook her head. "I thought it was maybe Martin here with the kids. Or that it was Tim here to take you home, Wanda." 

Wanda shook her head softly. "No, darling. Tim went over to your house to help Martin with the kids, love." She and Benedict exchanged a look of worry. Benedict put his hand over Olivia's hand and she grew pale.

"Darling, shh, you're fine," Benedict kissed the side of her head. "Mum, Amanda and I won't ever let anyone hurt you. Neither would Dad or Martin." 

Wanda nodded gently at her with a soft smile. "We love you, darling. You're the sweetest daughter I could've asked for."

Before Olivia could respond, two figures walked in before Amanda could stop them. The sight of them made Olivia jump, clutching onto both Benedict and Wanda. Anger flashed in Benedict's and Wanda's eyes as well as Amanda's eyes. The figures made Olivia not only flinch, but also made her want to cry.
