Their Little Rebel {Waterloo Road}

0.4

Olivia had been unable to believe she was pregnant. She didn't want the baby but she knew her parents didn't want her to have an abortion.

Olivia was feeling extremely down. She didn't feel very well and knew her dad would make her go into school. Lately, her mum and dad had been arguing a lot. Olivia knew it was about her.

When she went downstairs that morning, Eddie looked up. "Morning."

"Morning. Where's mum?" Olivia asked as she sat down. She knew there had been another row between them.

Eddie sighed and looked at his daughter. "She's gone to work early. Madison needed her," he told her.

***
Eddie took Olivia into school. Olivia knew that her mum putting the school before their family was part of the reason that she and Eddie were rowing.

Rachel walked over to her daughter and sighed. "How do you feel today?" She asked.

"Sick."

Rachel smiled. "It's the baby. Letting you know it's there," she told her.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Yes. I'm aware that the baby is there. I'm not dumb and keep it quiet. No one in this dump knows I'm pregnant."

***
Olivia knew all the rowing was taking it's toll on her dad. She wanted to check in on him. Olivia walked into his classroom. "Are you okay dad?" She asked.

Eddie nodded. "I'm fine darling. Things with your mum and me just aren't working out. We're always arguing and it's not fair on you. Being pregnant."

Olivia sighed. "I'm the reason for all the arguing. Me and this baby," she said. She had never been close to her mum but she had always been a daddy's girl.

Eddie smiled. "It's not you darling. Your baby, you don't know it yet but your baby will be the making of you. You'll love him or her unconditionally."

***
Madison looked up as Olivia sat down. "What's up? Hormones?" She asked.

Olivia sighed. "Mum and dad keeping arguing. It's my fault. They're arguing cause I'm pregnant," she mumbled

Madison felt bad for her little sister. "It's not your fault Oli. I promise you. Don't ever think you or your baby is to blame," she said.

***
Eddie walked into the office. Rachel looked at him. "Can I help you?"

Eddie sighed and sat opposite her. "All this arguing. It's not good for Olivia or the baby. We need to stop it," he told her.

"Yes I'm aware of that."

***
Olivia went home after going shopping with Madison. Rachel smiled. "Dinner is ready. Madison, we've made enough for you."

The four of them sat down and ate. Olivia knew it was an act. She knew they were only being nice for her sake. She stood up. "This is pathetic. I know you're only pretending to be nice for my sake. But don't kid yourselves."

Eddie looked at Olivia. "We know the stress isn't good for the baby. We want to make this pregnancy as easy as possible."

Olivia rolled her eyes. "I don't want this baby. So just stop acting like everything is fine when it just isn't!" She yelled.

Olivia stormed off upstairs. She felt a shooting pain in her stomach and screamed. Madison ran in. "What's happened?"

"I-I think I'm losing the baby!"
