Rumors | Sebastian Stan

5.7

Teigan unconsciously keeps one arm wrapped protectively over her stomach as she wanders out of the doors into the arrivals area, pulling her suitcase behind her as she looks around for Scarlett. The older woman offered to pick her up when she mentioned flying to Atlanta to surprise Sebastian on set, so Teigan wouldn't have to arrange an Uber or something.

She rises up on her tiptoes to see over some people before smiling to herself when she sees Scarlett trying to inconspicuously look for her without being spotted by anyone. Teigan hurries up, manoeuvring around people carefully and waving once Scarlett gets a clear view of her, falling into the hug that the older woman pulls her into as soon as she's close enough.

"Seb's going to be so happy to see you," Scarlett laughs as they pull apart, the actress taking Teigan's bag for her. "He was moaning to Anthony before I left about how you haven't been answering his texts today. His trailer door was open so I could hear them on the way past."

Teigan laughs at the description of her husband's overdramatic ways, following Scarlett over to a car and getting into the passenger seat when the actress waves off her help to put her bag in the back. She waits until Scarlett joins her in the car to speak.

"That sounds about right. He's very particular about being left on read or me not answering; it's not an overprotective, possessive thing, more like he gets concerned when I don't answer for long periods of time." Teigan shrugs, resting her head back against the headrest with a content smile. "But fingers crossed, he'll love his surprise."

"You know, you never told shared with us how that doctor's appointment went." Scarlett casts her a glance as she prompts for information.

Teigan smiles, shaking her head to herself. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work."

Scarlett sighs, "Just a tiny detail, that's all I'm asking. Don't leave me in suspense here - I'm dying to know."

"I'm not telling you." Teigan laughs.

The older woman pretends to be put out for all of two seconds before smiling. "Whatever, keep your secrets then. But, I'm glad you're feeling a lot calmer about the whole situation now."

Teigan hums, turning her head to face the other woman. "I guess you four had a point; there's no point freaking out until I know for sure."

"And Sebastian loves children and babies anyway," Scarlett adds, to which Teigan nods.

"Yeah, that too."

After taking out something for later and dropping off her suitcase and carry-on bag at Sebastian's apartment, hiding them at the back of the walk-in closet knowing that, with all of his stuff near the front, there is no reason for him to venture far enough in to notice them, Teigan gets back into the car and leaves with Scarlett to hang out at her place for the time being.

Scarlett is the only one in on the plan, Teigan would have told Elizabeth but Scarlett joked that Seb would probably find out before the end of that day so she held off. Scarlett sets the ball rolling when she gets the cast to agree to meet up for dinner tonight at some restaurant they've been to before.

"Are you ready?" Teigan hears Scarlett call down the corridor as she finishes the last touches of her makeup. "We're already going to 'fashionably late'."

Teigan smiles to herself in the mirror, smoothing her hands down her dress one last time, before exiting the bathroom and meeting Scarlett by the front door. "Done. How do I look?"

Scarlett does a double take before wolf whistling. "You're looking hot as hell. You're going to give that husband of yours a heart attack, amongst other things, looking like that."
