Happier With You

Acting

Ben could you take care of the kids for just a few hours more. There's an unexpected call on set that I need to be at. If not that's totally fine ~y/n

You sent the text, it was too early in the morning. You got out of bed and grabbed your robe to walk to the makeup trailer. Your phone chimed.

Yeah of course. I'll take them with me to the makeup trailer once they wake up ~Ben

You sighed in relief and sent him a thank you message. Sebastian was already sitting on one of the chairs when you arrived at the trailer. They were working on his hair and a few other touches. The special effect crew was doing something to his arm. You were transformed; just a few minor gashes to the face.

"Daddy," James shook Ben to wake him. He gradually opened his eyes revealing his twin boys by his side. "Someone's at the door," Angelo whispered. Ben checked the time and saw he was a few minutes late, he needed to transformer into Strange.

He promptly got up and changed into his robe. James and Angelo got dressed with the help of their father, they accompanied him to the other trailer. James opened his eyes to all the makeup and masks displayed, "Woah."

Angelo observed the room with as much amazement, "Look!" He pointed to a bucket of fake blood. "Don't worry it's fake," one of the crew members assured. Ben sat on the chair, the twins observed how their dad went from Ben to Doctor Strange.

After an hour, it was almost time for Ben to go. He took his kids where all the wardrobe was settled and showed them most of the avenger's uniforms. They were exhilarated. Ben promptly dressed in his costume and Eye of Agamotto.

"Do you want to see mummy do her job?" Ben asked his sons'. They both feverishly nodded. Ben led them to a part of the studio where they were currently filming. They went behind the cameras and a few more steps behind just in case anything was about to happen.

James and Angelo got a clear view of you, Bucky, Black Panther, and Captain America. There was some dialogue going on that they couldn't hear. What came next was unexpected. The producer ordered for an explosion sending you and the rest flying in different directions with ropes attached. "Cut!" The producer said through the megaphone.

"Mummy!" Angelo got up from his spot and began to run towards you but Ben caught him before he could reach anywhere near the cameras. "Angelo, she's fine. Look she'll get up any moment," he pointed to your direction and saw you dust off some dirt. You had fake blood covering your cheeks.

The cameras moved in a different direction, the producer ordered you back on the ground and positioned you. The cameras began rolling again, the focus was on Bucky. He was getting up from the ground dusting some dust off. He limped until his designated spot.

Extras came rushing through the explosion, some began attacking Bucky. Captain America and the rest got into fighting positions as well while you lay on the floor acting injured. Steve was yelling some of his dialogue to Bucky, he then went running to your side while the Black Panther and Bucky stayed back to keep off the bad guys from getting to you.

Bucky punched and contracted his facial muscles in ways that made him look sinister. The twins backed up into their father, scared of what they were seeing. After a few minutes, the producer yelled cut again. The day was over for you. Someone handed you a towel and you wiped away the excess blood.

"Mummy," James screamed this time catching your attention. You walked over to them, "Did you watch?" They both nodded with a smile, Sebastian came behind you. James and Angelo hid behind Ben's hands. "I think Bucky might have scared them," their father commented.

Sebastian kneeled down, "Oh no, don't be scared." You crouched beside him, "Remember it's called acting. We do things but we don't actually hurt other people." James was the first to come out and hug you, next was Angelo.

You pointed to Ben, "Who's that weirdo?" James chuckled, "That's daddy." You playfully quirked an eyebrow, "That's not the Ben I know." Angelo giggled, "Because he's an actor." You scrunched up your nose and kissed your twins, "I love you two so much. Let's go and let your daddy act."

"Mummy, can we stay and watch him act?" James pouted his lower lip; he usually did that when he really, really wanted something. You looked over to Ben, "I don't see why not." They both jumped. "But I will be back because it might take some time. You can both stay meanwhile I clean up," they both nodded their head in agreement.

Ben was needed on set as soon as you left. A cart came to pick them up and took them to another section where the kids watched their dad act. You went by to pick them up during Benedict's 5-minute break. The three of them were talking about something only audible to them.

Ben's phone began to ring, he looked over the ID name twice. There was a hint of panic, you quickened up your pace. A heavy deduction wasn't necessary, you knew it was his wife. "Go on," you said arriving there in time. "I'll be right back, I need to take this," Ben put the phone to his ear and walked away.

There was a hint of sadness in the twins' eyes seeing their dad walk away. It broke your heart to see that. You rubbed their backs, "Don't worry he'll be back. Do you two want to stay and finish watching your daddy act?" They calmly nodded their head.

"I don't want to go," James whined holding onto your leg. "I don't want to go either," Angelo said to Benedict. "I don't want either of you to leave, I really don't but you have to go back home and take Chip with you. Don't you want to see your friends again?" You brushed your son's hair.

He slowly bobbed his head, "Yeah." You sat on the floor so your sons' could hug you, "Just a few more months, I promise. Then I'll be back home with you two and we can watch movies all day long."

They kept their heads close to your chest. Ben crouched down, James and Angelo hugged him next. "I don't want to leave daddy, we just got him back," Angelo tightly hugged Ben from the waist. Ben kissed their heads, "I love you two immensely, I promise we'll spend lots more time now, but for the time being you have to go back home. Now that your mummy is working who's taking care of the flat? You two are the men, it's your duty now while your mum is working."

They smiled and hugged him tighter, Ben got up and picked them up on each arm. James included you in the hug. The four of you hugged until some actors came by to say goodbye. During the twin's week, they made a lot of friends. Robert would once in a while come by to play around with them for a while and Chris Hemsworth would tag along.

Sebastian crouched down to the twins height. "We'll miss you, Seb," they hugged Sebastian from the neck. "I'll miss you two," he firmly wrapped his muscles around the twins fragile body. "Y/n, I'm sorry but we have to get going," Rob interrupted.

You hugged and kissed multiple times each boy, "I love you, I'll be home soon. I'm going to be there for your birthday so don't worry." They held onto you, Ben did the same. Your mum and dad grabbed each boy by the hand, you saw them enter the taxi and ride off to the airport.
