Unconditional

Chapter 14: No Spark

Iona has been going to the set quite regularly and was even ask to be an extra in one of the scenes. No one else knows that she's pregnant because they decided to keep it a secret for now. It's the last day of filming before Iona and Sebastian goes to Augusta for the weekend. Sebastian was filming a scene while Iona and Chris were playing video games on their Switches in one of the break rooms. Chris was just there to accompany Iona since he was done for the day.

'Why are you so good at this?' Chris asked.

'I grew up playing lots of video games.' Iona answered not even looking up from her game. 'And you're done in 3... 2... 1. K.O.' She smiled and set her console down.

'I am never playing video games with you.' Chris laughed. 'I'm going to grab something to bite, want anything?' Chris got up.

'Can you just grab me a bottle of water please and maybe some fruits.' She smiled.

'Okay, I'll be back.' Chris headed out to get food. A few minutes later Iona ran to the bathroom and started throwing up.

Chris came back and heard her so he set the food and drinks on the table and ran to the bathroom. He saw her throwing up and walked over to her and held her hair up.

'Are you alright?' Chris asked when she got up and walked over to the sink to rinse her mouth.

'I'll be fine.' She smiled grabbing some paper towel.

Chris helped her back to the couch and handed her water.

'What is that smell?' Iona crunched her nose and covered her face.

'What smell?' He looked around, sniffed the food and looked back at her, 'I smell food.'

'What did you get?' She asked looking at the table

'I got you fruits and I got a slice of pizza.' Chris said, 'Plain pepperoni.'

Iona got up and sniffed the food. Once she got to Chris' pizza, she immediately turned around and ran to the bathroom to throw up again. When she came back out, Chris has taken his food out of the room.

'Yzz, are you?' He rubbed his tummy and smiled. Iona's eyes grew wide and smiled. 'Are you?' Chris yelled.

'Shhh. Be quiet.' She grabbed his hand and dragged him back to the couch before locking the door.

'Since when? How far along?' Chris whispered.

'Eight weeks tomorrow.' She smiled and put her hand on her belly.

'I'm so happy for you guys.' He hugged her and she hugged back. 'I'm going to be an uncle.'

'Please don't tell anyone. Sebby and I want to keep this away from the press, just like our relationship.' She bit her lip.

'I promise, Yzz.' He smiled, 'Uncle Chris is going to protect you and your mommy.' He said after leaning towards her belly. Iona flicked his forehead lightly, 'What was that for?' He pouted.

'Coz you're so silly.' She laughed.

'Okay so, no pepperoni pizza around you. What else are you sensitive from?'

'The pepperoni pizza is the first thing that made me feel so sick.' She explained.

They both laughed, Chris went to a different room and ate as fast as he could. Once he was done, he went back to where Iona was and saw her sleeping. He couldn't find a blanket so he took his jacket off and put it over her. When he was about to walk away, Iona grabbed his arm and said, 'Don't leave...' Chris walked towards the door and dimmed the lights, he then walked back to the couch and sat down. Iona laid her head on his lap and went back to sleep. A few moments later Chris fell asleep.
