𝑅𝓊𝒹𝓎'𝓈 𝒫.𝒪.𝒱

It's been a few days since the table read the cast went to they're apartments except from me I just grabbed some stuff from mine and chase's apartment so I could come and stay with Layla and Maisie at they're apartment i don't like leaving either of them it's like I've got separation anxiety with them I'm not sure why tho I just don't like leaving them on their own for long it's not just because I want to spend as much time with Maisie as possible to make up for the lost time trust me I do but I'd also like to spend a lot of time with Layla but my main priority at the moment is Maisie I'm dealing with my daughter something that I should have done along time ago

Maisie has grown even closer to me we're never apart from each other , if she's not with me she's with Layla
my feelings for Layla have just gotten a lot stronger I've been trying to push them away as far as they'll go but they just come back stronger, I don't want to tell her about these feelings yet incase I ruin our relationship for Maisie's sake so I'll just keep pushing them away

Today is the 21st of January the day we have start filming I'm not gonna lie I'm quite nervous I mean I know I've done this before it's just it's different now I have a daughter who's going to be on set with us and people doesn't know very much or even at all that's gotta be scary for a kid of her age, I'm still gonna miss her ,I know I won't be far away from her but in these past few weeks of knowing her I can't imagine my life without her

I'm also quite anxious about having
to kiss layla multiple times considering she plays my love interest it's makes me quite nervous I don't even know why , I know we have before but that was like 2 or 3 he ago ,I just need to try to stop overthinking it

Layla got Maisie up and dressed while tidy up the couch were I've been staying I've been seriously thinking of asking Layla to move in with me i just don't know how she'll react, I got ready while Layla made us three breakfast

Layls got ready earlier ,once we've eaten I get Maisie's coat and shoes on her, once she's ready me and Layla put our shoes on , Layla gets her diaper bag ready while
I buckle her in her car seat in my car
Once I've done that I shut the door and get in the drivers seat ,Layla must be getting everything we need , soon after I'm in the car I see Layla walking to my car I parked in the space which has now become my designated parking spot in the lot in front of her apartment building

"you ready Layls" I ask her when she gets In the car and buckles in
"yeah I'm ready than you for helping with Maisie" Layls tells me
"You're so welcome she's my daughter too". I tell her which makes her smile as I start driving the car
We continue talking about random things mainly filming while Maisie is sat in back of the car playing with her toys not long into the drive she falls asleep until I pull into the set parking lot

Layla decides to get a sleeping Maisie into her stroller while I grab the bags she's sleeping as we had to be awake by 5am and on set by 6am
"Let's get this show on the road shall me miss Ward" i say in a fake British accent which makes layla smile
"Let's do this mr pankow" Layls says attempting the same accent i did but failing miserably we walk on set towards our trailers i lead layla to hers and Maisie's  trailer which is coincidentally next to mine Laylas got the biggest trailer out of us all
We walk In and see the cast sat on the couch

"Hi guys" layls says quietly as I puts the break on Maisie's stroller
They all greet us as we sit down before jonas comes to tell us our schedule for today
"Layla you excited to film today?" bails asks

"Yeah I'm excited but also nervous" Layls reply's anxiously
"The is no need to be nervous I promise" Madelyn says
"Yeah mads is right you've got this" i tell her
"Yeah I'm not so sure about that ru" layla says getting up grabbing my script from the basket underneath Maisie's stroller

"Layls you need to relax I mean you've raised a kid , how hard can this be" Drew says softly

"Well Drew has a point but it's can be hard when your not used to it" jd says as layla
starts reading her script for today as she does we all look at each other when we see Layla looking shocked

"Layls what's wrong?"  Carlacia asks her
"Ummm Nothing" she says clearing her throat I know for a fact the is something bothering her
"Show us that script" Austin says walking over to where Layla's standing holding the script
"Yeah I'm not showing you this" Layls says blushing holding the script behind herr
back
"Aww she's blushing" I tease her which earns me a glare which makes me laugh
She must have forgotten that everyone has the same script just different highlighted lines for they're characters so jd grabs his one as austin gives up

Jd reads the script and looks between me and Layla
The others look very confused along with me "this is why Layla looked shocked" jd says "what does it say Jonathan" Carlacia says

"Well um let's just say that Jonas didn't give Layla time to join the cast properly" jd says laughing
"This isn't funny" layla says pacing the trailer she doesn't even realise until I'm walking up to her and hold her shoulders to stop her  "stop pacing now , what's not funny, I'm pretty sure we'll figure it out"  I say she looks like she's lost in thought for a minute until she passes me the script i read it closely before i look up at her and smirk it's not like we haven't done that and worse before right i say pointing to where a sleeping Maisie is
" ru this is really not helping" she tells me

Which makes everyone else laugh
I don't think it's gonna be a closed set so the cast can watch us
Jonas comes to layla's trailer and tells us that me and layla need to head to hair and makeup before we go to costume as we are the first ones to film our intense make out I think it was hard for Layla as she had to leave Maisie while she's asleep and won't know where me and Layla are when she wakes up but the cast are with her they are gonna come onset and watch us along as Maisie is quiet Jonas said it would be okay

I'm having my hair done by Rebecca the hair stylist and Laylas having her makeup done by the makeup artist called poppy after once we've finished here we head to wardrobe I and Maxine the stylist for jj gives me my clothes which consist of a pair of cargo shorts ,boots and a graphic tee, my hairs been styled in it's natural surfer boy messy hairstyle

As soon as im done I walk back to Layla's trailer to sit with the cast and Maisie to wait for Layla to come back before Elaine jonas's assistant comes to get us to take us to set ready for filming ahead of arrives and sits next to me holding Maisie who's only just woken up

We're all talking when the door knocks as Elaine pops her head round
"Rudy ,Layla you ready" she asks we both nod the cast wishes us luck as they follow us to set with Maisie in Madelyn's arms she's not asleep now but she's awake and laying on Madelyn which is nice to see her comfortable with the cast considering she hasn't know me or the cast long

We arrive on set and get in place as I feel my anxiety spike , this is the time my feelings for Layla will most likely could become even stronger...
