3+3=6 (JOLIVIA)

Chapter 7

Okay so the whole "everything's okay" shit didn't last long. Wren got mad one day and her and Olivia both caught the flu, leaving Josh to deal with the babies. Olivia helped of course but it was a lot for her body to handle. She couldn't even get up out of bed for a week.

But that was 2 weeks ago and now they have to continue on. Although Olivia was on maternity leave, she was still called in to go do an interview, which she didn't want to do. She didn't even sign up for it. But oh well, guess that's what you get for being famous.

One other thing that was bothering the two adults was that they were always fighting. Not in front of the kids of course but over stupid things. Josh kept telling her not to do the interview but she turned him down. He got it though, and the parents both agreed that this was from the stress of the 3 new additions. But it just bothered him. Olivia too, but josh more. He thought he was pushing her too hard or trying to control her but she was just healing. They haven't even had been intimate since the one time his mom took the kids. That was nearly a month and a half ago.

10:00 PM

All the kids were asleep, the babies right near their bed but far enough away that they could all fit the bassinets on one wall. Olivia was up reading while josh finished answering some emails but he wasn't all that focused on them. He was more focused on his wife who was reading while holding the book so hard that her knuckles turned white. Josh just shut his laptop and took her book out of her hands.

"Hey-"

"Look at me." He put his hand on her face so she met his eyes. "Take a deep breath. I can see you're tense." She does as told and her eyes started to fill up with water. "It's okay. Let it out." And with that, the tears in her eyes were running down her face. Josh pulled her into his side and rubbed her back.

"I-I'm sorry." She lifted her head up and rested her chin on his chest.

"For what? You are so strong."

"But I don't look like myself! I have so many stretch marks and I am still a little bloated and-"

"And you're beautiful. Your body just has to re-adjust. I love you no matter what. You always are and will be beautiful."

"Okya but-"

"No buts liv." She sighed and looked at her husband with a small smile.

"Alright. I love you. Thank you."

"No problem. Only doing something for my favorite person on the entire planet: Olivia Isabel Bassett."

She smiled and dug her head into his chest, inhaling his smell again. He soon heard a yawn come from her and turned out the light.

"Goodnight beautiful."

"Goodnight my bottle of great smelling cologne." He laughed and kissed her head before they both drifted off into a sleep, only to be disterbed every once in a while since a baby would need a feeding.

-interview day-

"Do I look good? Where's my purse? When was the last time the babies ate? Does this shirt make me look fat? What if I fall over-"

"Liv." He grabbed her hand as she headed into the kitchen, searching for things. "Calm down. This is just like any other interview. You are allowed not to answer. You also look beautiful. Don't worry about it."

"I guess you're right." She sighed and picked up her purse. She stood in her tip toes and gave Josh a long kiss that she has been meaning to give him for a while. They got a little carried away before josh murmured something against her lips.

"You want another one? Cause I'm sure I can do that." He smiled and she pulled away quickly.

"Josh! Be quiet. God no not now please I'm praying. But don't hold me against that offer just maybe without the other 3 children in the mix." She winked at him before kneeling down to say goodbye to wren.
