It started at Christmas

Chapter 81

Olivia pov

It has been a few months, the girls where growing like crazy. Tomorrow Chris would leave for 2 weeks to film something, we had decided that me and the girls would just stay at home. We finally had them on a schedule and traveling would just mess that up.  They where now 9 months and to my opinion they where really turning into this mini humans having there own little character, likes and dislikes.  Chris walked out putting his suitcase by the door for when the car came to pick him up. He walked over to me wrapping me in his arms. "Are you really sure you are going to be okay?" he said. I smiled, "i will be fine Chris." I said giving him a kiss. He was having doubts from the moment he said yes to this. "Maybe i should cancel..." he said letting out a deep breath. "Nope, you are going to work and you are going to enjoy it especially because you are working with Robert again." He smiled, "yeah that will be fun." 

"I will call you every night" he said leaning in for a kiss. "You better the girls need to have a story read to them." It had become a habit of Chris to read to them every night all 4 loved it. Chris his phone buzzed letting him know the car was here. I walked him to the door. He pulled me in kissing me passionately and after that i watched him walk to the car and get in waving at me before he left. 

My phone buzzed, "i love you baby so much" was all it said. "I love you to" i send back. I put my phone in my pocket and went to my office the girls where still sleeping and would take the opportunity to work at my book. The deadline had been pushed back but i was now making good progress. After working for a few hours i walked to the girls room waking them up. I spend the rest of the day with my girls trying to tire them out so they would sleep trough the night. 

The first few days went by and everything was going fine, Chris was calling at night reading bedtime stories and after they had fallen asleep we would talk for a bit. I was glad he was having a good time. I on the other hand wasn't feeling well, since yesterday i felt sick. But to not make Chris feel bad i kept a straight face on the face time calls. 

A few days later i was walking trough the store getting groceries, i was still not feeling well. I had called Lisa, and asked if the girls could stay with her for a few hours so i could get some sleep since i hadn't been sleeping that well. She was happy to help. So after shopping with my girls i would drop them off and go home and just sleep. I grabbed the items i needed and walked to self checkout. I didn't want to have the looks at the checkout with the items i purchased.

I packed all in a bag and walked to the car putting the bag on the front seat and loaded the girls in the car. I drove to Lisa's house and walked in with the girls. "There they are" Lisa said smiling at the girls as they smiled at her. "Thank you for this" i said, "no problem sweetheart." We talked for a while i didn't want to be rude by dropping and leaving directly. After a while Lisa kicked me out telling me to take as long as i needed even if it would mean that she had to keep the girls overnight. I smiled and gave her a hug. "Thank you" i said smiling "i think i might take you up on that. But please call if you need anything" i said. 

I got in my car and drove home taking my groceries inside the house and put it on the counter. I grabbed the box i had pushed all the way down. I was glad that the store had a self checkout i could already see the headlines if someone had seen me buy a pregnancy test. I walked to the bathroom and did what i had to do. I placed the test on the counter set a timer and walked out. I didn't know what to think if it was positive, and if it was positive i just prayed it wouldn't be triplets again. But i couldn't be pregnant again can i? I was back on the pill we hadn't even discussed having more children.  I mean the girls weren't even 1 yet. 

The timer went of and i walked to the bathroom. I stood still in front of the door. After a few minutes i took a deep breath and hyped myself up. I walked over to the counter and looked at the test. I slapped my hand in front my mouth as i looked at the word positive. I sank to the floor and started to cry, OMG i am pregnant i thought to myself. After sitting on the floor for a while i pulled myself together. I texted Lisa telling her i would take her up on her offer to have her keep the girls over night. She texted me back that everything was going alright and to enjoy the night to myself. I crawled into bed and fell asleep. 

I woke up from my phone ringing, "hello" i said answering. "Hello sweetheart" Chris said. "Are you in bed?" he asks. I nodded, "i am not feeling so good. I dropped the girls at your mom so if you wanna read to them you have to call her." He looked at me worried. "Do you need me to come home?"  I shook my head. "No babe,  i just need a good night sleep and ill be fine" I said lying. "Okay I will call ma to read to the girls. I love you baby" he said. I smiled, "I love you to I miss you." He smiled, "I ll be home in a week baby. Can't wait to see you and the girls again."

It was the next day and I was on my way to Lisa to pick up the girls. I had just come from the doctor to have him check me again just to be sure. And there was no shadow of a doubt I was pregnant. I arrived and walked in. A wave of nausea hit me and I before I could even say something to Lisa I excused myself to go to the bathroom. "Sorry really have to pee" I said now also lying to Lisa.

I cleaned myself up and walked back in. "You okay sweetheart" Lisa asked worried.  "Yeah I am fine" I said smiling at her. "Did everything go okay?" I ask changing the subject. She smiled "everything went great. They where perfect." I smiled a the 3 girls who where babbling with each other. "Do you want some tea?" Lisa asked. I nodded and sat down at the table. "Did you sleep okay?" she asked. I shook my head giving her a little smile. "The house was to quiet. I miss Chris his snoring. He took the dogs with him and the girls where here. I miss Chris," I said sighing "this is the longest we have been apart since we met."  Lisa looked at me and gave me a little smile. "Does he know?"  I shook my head, "no and I am not going to tell him. I want him to have fun and not having to worry about me. I don't want him to give anything up for us."  Lisa walked over to me "Oh sweetheart" she said grabbing my hand. "He would give up the world for you and the girls."   I nodded "I know" I said feeling the tears starting to come through, "and that is why I am not telling him. He loves his work and I want him doing what makes him happy. Besides there is only one week left."

She smiled at me. "If you want you can stay here..." I smiled back at her wiping my tears away. "That is very sweet but me and the girls have to go home." She nodded, "Okay" she said laughing "I know when to quit."  I laughed, "But I would be nice if you cone over for dinner tomorrow. We can have a girls night...."  Lisa smiled, "That does sound fun." I chuckled, "You can even stay over so you don't have to drive back at night."   Lisa looked at the girls "Oeh a sleepover, and a girls night sounds great doesn't it girls," Lisa said and I giggled.

After I arrived home I fed the girls and put them down for their nap. I did some work and cleaned the house a bit.

After the girls had woken up I spend the rest of the night playing and cuddling with the girls I had just put them in their pj's when Chris called. "Right on time" I said smiling at the screen. "Are my girls ready for a story" Chris cooed trough the screen while I turned it.

After he was done and the girls where asleep I walked to the living room and sat on the couch. "How are you feeling today?" he asks. "I am fine babe, are you having fun?" I said changing the subject. "Yes" he said smiling he continues telling all the antics he and Robert are up to. "Sounds like you are having allot of fun." He smiled, "any plans tomorrow?" I nodded, "Yes your mum is coming for dinner and we are having a girls night she is staying over."  He smiles "That sounds fun."

"I'll be right back" I said as I threw my phone on the couch and ran to the bathroom. I groaned to myself, I cleaned myself up and walked back to the living room picking up the phone again. "Liv tell me what is going on?"  I tried to keep a straight face "Nothing" I lied "one of the girls woke up so I had to put her back to sleep before she woke up the other 2."  He sighed looking at me all worried. "Okay are you sure you're feeling better?"  '

"Yeah yeah" I said looking at him but I knew he didn't believe me. "Tell me more about work" I said trying to change the subject.  We talked a bit more about his work and after we had hung up I sat there for a while. I hated lying but I didn't wanna tell him over the phone. Besides knowing how the last pregnancy went I knew if I told him now he would get on the first plane home.

I checked up on the girls and went to bed. The bed felt to big without Chris and I hated sleeping alone.
