Two months later, Olivia was ready to run away from everyone. The fame was overwhelming. She couldn't grocery shop without someone wanting an autograph. Savannah and Serenity were home from the hospital, and Maya was in the hospital for exhaustion. She fainted after not getting any sleep for the first week of the twins being home. Olivia called a family meeting with Bernadette. Their meeting didn't solve any of their problems. Bernadette said that Olivia and Maya had to keep Sophia whenever she needed a break, which was almost every day, she didn't have the energy to keep her own kid after keeping the twins and Karen during the workday. Now, the house was quiet after a long argument between Olivia and Bernadette. Amelia and Sophia were sleeping in front of the TV. Coloring books and a popcorn bowl next to them. Karen was in her crib. Savannah was in her bassinet. Olivia held Serenity while reading her script. She was so tired, but she had to memorize her lines and grade papers before the noise started again. Fitz came in the nursery every few hours to make sure Olivia didn't fall asleep with a baby in her arms. She was feeding Karen a bottle the last time he checked a few hours ago. Serenity finished her bottle. Olivia didn't have the energy to move. She couldn't bother Fitz. He had assignments that he needed to complete before the work week started again. Olivia would usually be in LA right now. She would be in her trailer if there wasn't an earthquake yesterday. Filming was canceled until further notice.
"You can get some sleep Olivia."
Olivia looked up to see Fitz.
"I need to memorize my lines."
"You aren't filming this weekend."
"I know that. We're having to reshoot too many of my scenes because I'm forgetting my lines. My boss complained about my performance last weekend."
Fitz turned around when he heard crying in the hallway. It was Amelia dragging her blanket.
"There's a monster downstairs."
"You had a nightmare. You're okay." Fitz said.
Amelia put the blanket next to the rocking chair, "I'm sleeping in here."
Olivia didn't argue. She closed her eyes and Fitz took Serenity. Olivia opened her eyes a few seconds later, confused.
"I fell asleep?"
"Yeah, Livvie, you have at least one week to memorize your lines. You can grade the papers after you sleep a few hours."
"Okay."
Olivia pulled herself up from the rocking chair and lifted Amelia onto her hip. Fitz took Olivia's seat. Downstairs, Olivia put Amelia next to Sophia. She could sleep a few hours before they all needed something. She fell on the sofa and closed her eyes. If this was the life of a celebrity, she didn't want it.
