It started at Christmas

Chapter 87

Olivia pov.

We arrived at the store and did our shopping. "Hey I was thinking" Carly said. "Oh oh" I said joking. "Oh stop, maybe we could do our weekly groceries together and lunch after. We can bitch about life and I promise you whatever will be discussed will be between us." I smiled at her, "I think that that is an excellent idea. I do have a request for you" I said. "Oh oh" she said teasing me back. I laughed. 

"I wanted to throw a party for Chris, I know he used to be a lot more social and I feel like he misses it sometimes. I was wondering if you where willing to take the girls for a night." She looked at me and smiled. "Of course I don't mind but don't you think ma would be a better option?" I sighed, "you're right I know you're right but I don't know it feels wrong to ask her..." Carly smiled at me... "Liv she never meant to hurt you, she doesn't think you are a bad mother. She is so proud of you and how you are handling Chris and the girls." I chuckled, "that sounds like I already have 4 kids...." 

Carly laughed, "well sometimes he is just like a big kid." I chuckled, "Yeah that is true...." and we both laughed  "Sweetie I would love to babysit but if you are comfortable with it...ask ma first if you don't mind she thinks you hate her right now."  I took a deep breath. "I don't hate her I said I am just insecure I guess. I'll ask her."  i said. "Good" Carly said smiling "then I can come to the party and help you plan." I laughed "that's why" I said smirking. She giggled "any chance to see Sebastian in the wild I will take." I laughed. "He definitely is a sight for sore eyes, but Chris is better. Although the highlight of my year was sleeping between Seb, Mackie and Chris." Carly laughed, "I bet many women were jealous."  I laughed. "Yeah the comments under the post where hilarious and some disturbing."

We walked to the cash register and payed. We walked to the exit and my heart sank surrounding the car where 3 guys with cameras. "Fuck" I said, they hadn't seen us yet but there was no way I could get to the car unnoticed. "Nobody knows I am pregnant yet and I would like to keep it that way..." I said to Carly. "Go back further inside I will load the groceries and text you when I will drive up to the entrance." I nodded and hugged her. "Thank you."

I watched in horror as Carly was surrounded by paparazzi loading the car. I called Chris, "hey sweetheart everything okay?" I was fighting a panic attack as i stood there looking at Carly getting swarmed by hordes of paparazzi, they just kept coming the group getting bigger and bigger.  "I don't know we came out of the store and the car was surrounded by paparazzi. Carly is loading groceries and I am waiting in the store. Chris they normally only do this when they think there is something going on. What if someone told I am pregnant.... I am scared I still have to walk from the entrance to the car, at first there where just 3 but now there are like 12 or so."  I said almost in tears.  "Sweetheart I will call Carly, stay where you are I will pick you up."

I was waiting for like 25 minutes Carly was gone she had left. "Mrs Evans?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and a man smiled friendly at me. "I am Peter head of security from this store. Mr Evans called he is on his way to pick you up. Would you like to wait in my office it is more comfortable and away from prying eyes." I nodded and followed him to a little office all the way back in the store. "I am sorry for all the trouble you have to go to" I muttered. "It's okay Mrs Evans, It is no trouble at all" he said giving me a reassuring smile. "It must be annoying to life like this." I sighed, "Normally in Boston they are not this annoying" I said. "But this time I am hiding a secret I don't want them to know yet." He smiled, "how far along are you?" I blushed, "don't worry Mrs Evans I am not one to blab being a former navy seal it comes with the territory" I smiled, "my security in LA were navy seals. I am 21 weeks along today," he smiled. "Already know what you're having?" I nodded, "but that is staying in the vault" I said laughing. "Understandable" he said nodding.
