I Need Saving [A Bensler FanFic- Editing]

Chapter 33

Even though I was trying to keep the secret that Elliot and I had, Elliot was very adamant  with wanting to tell the kids that they were getting another sibling.

"What if something happens?" I asked, as we got ready for bed.

"Like what? I know you are accident prone, but I don't think anything will happen." Elliot replied and I swallowed hard.

"What if I lose the baby?" I choked, and Elliot wrapped his arms around me and held me close.

"Babe, we aren't gonna lose this baby. If you want, we can wait a few weeks to tell the kids, just to put your nerves at ease." Elliot replied quietly, and he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I'm scared El. I'm not as young as I was when I had Emily and Faith, and I know Serena is one, but that pregnancy was hard." I breathed. Elliot just rocked me in his arms for a few minutes before he found the right words to say.

"I'm here with you, every step of the way. And as for your age, you only get better." He spoke, a sly smile on his face. I laughed and he wiped away the few tears that had slipped down during our emotional embrace.

"Thanks, El." I breathed and he nodded.

"Anything for you, Liv."

We waited and waited. A few scares came, but they were quickly dismissed, and when I hit three months, and was past the miscarrying risk, we decided to tell the kids and get back on with our lives.

"Alright, kids, sit down." Elliot spoke as I walked into the living room, Serena on my hip. She wouldn't really understand what was being said, but she still needed to be there.

"What is this about, Daddy?" Noah asked, a disinterested look on his face.

"Well, we thought that being informed about a certain thing might make ya both happy." Elliot chuckled, and Emily arched her eye brow, a look of confusion on her face.

"Momma, are you or Daddy in trouble?" She breathed, and I shook my head quickly.

"No, princess. We aren't in trouble. Um, El, continue."I replied, and Elliot nodded.

"Alright, so Momma is pregnant." Elliot spoke, and the room was silent, and my heart was beating out of my chest. I didn't know what they were going to say.

"Pregnant?" Noah questioned.

"It's when a Mommy has a baby in her belly. Momma, so we are really getting another sibling?" Emily spoke, and I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I hope that you three won't mind." I replied, and I was happily surprised when Noah and Emily jumped up and ran over to us. It was an amazing few moments of hugs and happy chatter, and the fears that I had weighing me down for the last  months faded away.

"Liv, can we talk?" Amanda said quietly. I looked behind at her, and concern covered my features.

"Yes, of course." I replied. I followed her into the locker room and sat shut the door and locked it, making sure that no one could interfere with our conversation.

"Amanda, what's wrong?" I asked, and she walked over to her locker and grabbed something. She shoved it into my hand, and I looked down and a small smile spread over my face.

"You're pregnant." I smiled, and she swallowed hard before starting to cry. I sat the test down and pulled her into a hug.

"I don't want a baby!" She sobbed, and I just rubbed her back, unsure of how to approach this.

"Amanda, sit down." I breathed, deciding that was the best place to start. She nodded and slowly sat.

"Now, I know that you feel like you can't do this. That you would destroy this child, but you won't. I felt the same way when I was pregnant with Emily. But you can do it, I know it." I smiled softly, and she swallowed hard.

"What if the baby hates me?" She asked, and I chuckled slightly as I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"Amanda, this baby is going to love you! When you watch my kids, I can tell that you are made for motherhood! The kid won't hate you until it's a teenager, and that is normal." I smiled. 

"Liv, I  can't do this alone." She breathed, and I pushed some hair out of her face.

"Well, where is the father?" I asked, and she sighed and ran her hands through her hair, causing those few pieces I had pushed away to come back.

"Declan is UC." She breathed, and I looked at her with wide eyes.

"Declan Murphy?" I asked, and she nodded slowly.

"The night we got snowed it." She frowned, and I gently rubbed her back.

"I'm scared too, I hope you know." I breathed, and she looked at me with confusion.

"Why?" She questioned. I bit my lip, and right now I needed to show her that even a person with three kids can still be scared to have another one.

"Elliot and I are having another baby. I'm due in 28 weeks, which seems like a lot of time but it isn't." I replied, and she quickly hugged me.

"Congrats, and thanks." She breathed.

"You get what I did there?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Yeah. Um, will you be there when I tell the crew?" She asked and I nodded.

"Of course, Amanda, we can tell them together." I replied and she nodded, thankfully.

Amanda waited till we went out for drinks that night. Usually Amanda would drink with the other people, but now that she knows that she's pregnant, she just drank coffee with me so we could take the guys home when they get wasted.

"Rollins, what are you doing? Get some shots!" Nick laughed, but I gave her a gentle smile.

"Guys, she's going to be driving with me tonight." I replied from where I sat, Elliot's arm draped over my shoulders.

"Come on, both of you have some fun!" Fin spoke before sliding shots to both of us. I gave mine to Elliot, and Amanda slid her's back.

"Stop it." Amanda said, and the guys went silent.

"Amanda, what's wrong?" Fin asked quietly.

"Um, why not do this now?" I asked, and Amanda nodded slowly.

"Guys, Amanda and I are both pregnant."
