The way I love you

36| Never Lose Hope

"Woaw. Sean?? Where is all that coming from??", Lana asked, walking into the hallway where Sean just unloaded all the boxes and flowers from his boot. It was like a pile of presents that filled up the room immediately. Big boxes, wrapped baskets, and a bunch of colorful flowers that made it smell like a strong perfume was sprayed all over the house.

"Gifts... And... Presents... I don't know what happened but they all arrived at once on set. Today. And it's not all of them. My trailer is still full of stuff but I couldn't fit more into the car.", Sean laughed. "I would say some very lovely people decided on like a project because I don't think that it is a coincidence that they sent presents all at once. Gosh. How are we supposed to get all this stuff home to LA?? We will need a separate truck.", Sean wondered.

"I guess so. We definitely will need one. Also for all the kid's stuff, we bought here. I just had a look at some houses. There are a couple on sale that are looking very promising. In the same area as before, so Leo and Flynn wouldn't have to change school once we're back.", she said.

Since Lana was on bed rest for the last two days after another doctor appointment and some tests, she had time to go through some of the houses to find a perfect match for them. Something she really enjoyed doing and something that kept her busy from everything that had happened during her very unpleasant September in Vancouver. The last four weeks were rough on her. She wasn't feeling well, her apatite had gone down and most of the time she was nauseous or had bad headaches, that's why she agreed to a further examination since her symptoms were quite unusual for her state of pregnancy.

24 weeks meant that she was now officially in her 6th month and after all... Let's say that pregnancy wasn't as fun and magical anymore since it more likely turned into a daily thread towards her mood and behavior. The only thing that kept her going and which she adored was feeling her baby girl kick.
But even that was getting more and more uncomfortable since the little one wasn't as gentle anymore, specifically when Lana wanted to sleep. She could swear that BabyP knew straight away when she was laying down because that was her most active time of the day and more and more often it felt like she was trying to play football with her mother's organs.

Because of the rapid changes and also Lana's still too high blood pressure, her doctor ordered some tests to make sure it wasn't something that could put the mother or child at risk and until the results were ready, Lana was on bed rest, which was the biggest nightmare for her, but unfortunately necessary.

She constantly tried to keep herself occupied by staying in the garden for a bit, planning Amèlie's 2nd birthday at the beginning which took place just two weeks ago, or reading, watching TV and so on but there was nothing more annoying for her than staying in a sitting or lying position for most of the day.

Since the OutlawQueen episode was filmed way earlier than expected, Sean was gladly free from now on as well, which meant they could properly start their return journey a month earlier than expected, which was great and would provide some more time they would definitely need to figure everything out before their little girl would enter their world.

"How is it going today?", Sean asked after placing down the last box, filled with presents, stepping closer to put his hands on each side of Lana's round belly. He felt straight away a small response from his daughter, which made him chuckle but on the other hand, he could tell that Lana wasn't that happy about it anymore.

"Honest answer? Even worse than yesterday... I literally stopped counting how often I threw up today. It wasn't very pleasant, that's for sure. My back hurts, I am tired and my feet are swollen even without walking around.", she sighed. "I am honestly at a point where I want her out of me.", she admitted, almost near to tears.
