H&J Lockdown

31

After I broke the rules that night we both spent the rest of our quarantine sneaking over to each others rooms, making love all night then making sure to go back to our own rooms before we were checked on in the morning and sleeping all day.

When the quarantine period was over Hero immediately moved over to my suite and then work began, starting with fittings. Fittings were a little bit different for me this time around because they had to work around hiding my small bump, which they did perfectly but even though I hadn't gained a ton of weight I still felt huge.

The plan was to shoot most of our love scenes first before I got any bigger and then work around the bump for the rest of filming but because covid cases were low they decided to shoot some scenes that they needed extras for on location first and then move most of the rest of filming to the studio.

Fans of course found out and showed up to our on location sets. The first couple of days it was fine because we could interact with fans from a distance but then they started invading our space. Hero started to worry about me and the babies health and tried the best he could to run interference, greeting fans so I wouldn't have to but by the end of the week he had had enough.

Fans started showing up at our hotel, stalking the building inside and out and some even went as far as getting a room there. Just to see Hero. We had to be extra careful and Hero started getting uneasy with fans around me, not only because of covid but because they were so obsessed with him that something may happen to me because some thought we were dating.

By the time our covid testing day and start of our break came around I was exhausted and thankfully a problem with someones test put us on another quarantine while they figured it out, delaying filming. That meant we got to catch up on sleep and hang around our hotel doing nothing except for a little bit of promo.

As the fans got worse around the hotel, Hero in his over protective state, decided to take every necessary precaution to keep me and the baby safe. On top of the interviews we already had lined up, he requested a interview be set up to deflect fans from our relationship until we were home in London safe.

We wrote down a quick speech for him out of the talking points he was given the year before and production made sure to have the interviewer ask or bring up our relationship for a question where as normally it was on the list of things that they were not allowed to ask about. We felt it was best if I wasn't involved in the interview so Hero would be taken seriously so I kissed him goodbye as they prepped him for it and went over to the directors room to have a girls night with her, a girl from production and one of the other new actors.

The night was going well besides the fact I had to sip on water while they enjoyed wine until the interrogating questions came. Questions I had been avoiding, like how we were going to approach coming out to the world not only as a couple but how we were going to handle bringing a child into this crazy world.

I didn't have any answers to these questions and if I had it my way I would never go public with my relationship or my child. Once it was out there, it was everyone's business and not just my own. Everything that happened in the past two years of our life would be thrown into the spotlight and dissected by strangers giving their opinion on it and that wasn't something I was okay with. Especially knowing my family would see all of this.

Feeling overwhelmed I left the girls night early, claiming I was tired. When I got back to our room Hero was gone, having went over to one of the actors rooms to enjoy a guys night so I went to bed hoping I would have more answers tomorrow once I calmed down.
