Rubato - Scarlett Johansson

Part 38

Theo's POV

"You said you were going to take a break. It's bad enough you are doing Eurovision next month, but now you want to do this on top of that? Baby, you are six months pregnant. You know that right? Why do you think that this is a good idea? How did you even plan all this without me knowing? How did you do it so quickly? You know what, I am just going to call Riley and get her to fix this, how did she even agree to this? I thought she was more intelligent than that. She knows about you being pregnant and all that, so why would she let you host this last-minute thing in Carnegie Hall? We are leaving for England in two days, you should be relaxing and maybe practising for your Eurovision performance, why would you want any more on your plate? Plus there is the Marvel stuff, don't think I didn't notice that you were in the office until three am last night, I know you were working on the musical scores for Thunderbolt. Dr Montgomory said trouble sleeping might be a sign that your thyroid isn't right. Maybe you should be getting another blood test rather than performing to a bunch of A-listers and the press" Scarlett ranted as she paced around our bedroom, her arms flying as she vented at me.

She had been speaking at me for the last half an hour, ever since my team got here to get me ready. I hadn't meant to keep this performance from her, heck she was invited and I am hoping is still coming, I just forgot. Between big grapefruit, getting ready for Eurovision which is next week, finishing off the music for some Marvel projects and spending time with my family, I haven't had time to think, so yes I may have forgotten to mention that Netflix decided that this concert would be a great way to promote the documentary which is coming out later this year. They had been filming all tour and while I wouldn't let them film Scarlett or the kids, they have captured just about everything else. They thought that a concert for A-listers would be a great way to hype people up over the documentary. The concert is going to be streamed on Netflix and at the end is going to be a trailer for the documentary, a trailer I am about to film, or at least that is what Scarlett thinks I am going to do.

"Love, I need you to sit down because watching you pace is making me feel sick and I have gone all week without being sick, please don't break my streak," I ask, tired of watching her walk back and forth as my team works on my hair and makeup. She gives me an annoyed look but stops pacing, standing in front of me with an adorable scowl. "I love you so much" I tried, a smile on my lips as I try and lessen her annoyance, although from the eye-roll I get I am guessing that didn't work. 

"I wasn't keeping it from you, I just honestly forgot. We have had a lot going on and I have been trying to finish up some other work that needed to be done before the baby and this slipped through the cracks. It's just one concert and that's it. Well and some last-minute filming for the documentary which I am about to do, but that is all sitting down and talking so that is nothing. I know you are annoyed but please come tonight, I got you and the pain in the arses we call besties, the best seats in Carnegie Hall. I swear, after Eurovision, I won't be performing again until the baby, I will still write because that is who I am and I still have some Marvel commitments, but no more shows and live performances. I have interviews scheduled to promote the documentary, but that doesn't come out until around my birthday. I didn't mean to upset you, love. I just really did forget about tonight" I try and soothe her, knowing she is rightly pissed off at me right now.

She just looks at me for a moment, as if deciding if she is going to continue to be mad at me or just cave now and forgive me because let's be honest we all know she can't stay mad at me long. This is only proven when she huffs and walks over to me, leaning to kiss my cheek softly. "Sorry for yelling baby. I just worry that you are overdoing things, but then again that is hypocritical, I mean I was filming Age of Ultron when I was pregnant with Rose so I get what it's like to keep working around being pregnant. Do you want me to come with you to do this documentary stuff? We can bring the kids and that way you have company when you take a break?" She offered, making me smile as I shook my head, a giant smile on my face. I love her.
