filming was almost done, then the press tours would start. the cast had a day off, so everyone slept in. octavia felt tom cuddle up against her, her being the big spoon. she smiled softly as her arm was wrapped around him, her head resting below his shoulder blades.

it was around 9:15 when octavia woke up in unbearable pain. she placed a soft kiss on the nape of tom's neck as she groaned softly and rolled out of bed. she shuffled to the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. she sat on the toilet and pulled down her pants, red staining her underwear.

"you've got to be kidding." she mumbled to herself, knowing the underwear was now ruined. tom rolled over, not seeing octavia next to her. he sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"avi?" he called out. she groaned from the bathroom, her muffled noise grabbing his attention. he walked

over to the closed bathroom door, ready to walk in.

"sweetheart? you okay in there?" he asked, softly.

"could you grab me a new pair of underwear, please?"

his eyes widened in realization, quickly going to her suitcase, cheeks turning red as he saw the lace, but went for the ones she liked to call "grandma underwear." he went back to the door, calling her name.

"just stick your hand through the door. i can reach."

he cracked the door open, sticking his hand in. he felt her hand brush against his and the underwear was out of his hand. he shut the door, grabbing a bottle of water for her. she changed her underwear and decided to shove a tampon up there, not wanting to deal with a pad shifting every two seconds.

she washed her hands and stepped out of the bathroom, her face a bright red. tom gave her a lopsided smile, standing up to greet her in a hug. she melted into his touch, her head resting in the crook of his neck. she lazily kissed his neck, then his jawline. she felt his hand rubbing her back comfortingly.

tom's hands trail down her sides, reaching her hips. he started to massage her sides, somehow alleviating some of the pain, making it now slightly bearable. he turns her around, her back to him. his hands move from her hips to her lower stomach, now massaging her lower abdomen. her head rests right on his heart, his heart beating in her ear.

"i grabbed you some water and put some advil out for you. we can stay in if you'd like, watch movies and what not. lock the doors so nobody has to bother you. we could-"

she puts her hands over his, stopping his rambling. she slowly turns around, her hands going to both sides of his face. she pulls him down to kiss him, him gasping at the sudden move, his hands then going to her hips to pull her impossibly closer. tom's nose nudged against hers, her hands grabbing his t-shirt as his hand cupped her face tenderly. he pulls away, their foreheads resting on each others.

"i had to shut you up before you annoyed me, and you know how i'm like when i'm annoyed." she whispered, making him chuckle.

"that was." he pauses, tilting his head slightly.

"hot."

she laughed, letting go of his shirt. she took the advil as tom pulled the comforter back, allowing her to crawl back in. he followed her back in, spooning her. his hands trailed down to her hips again.

"where does it hurt love?" she put her hand over his, guiding his hand to her lower abdomen. he put pressure on her abdomen, some of the pain going away.

"tom?" she said, him not stopping what he was doing.

"yes darling?" she smiles, his british accent is music to her ears. she rolls over to face him, his chocolate brown eyes stare into her hazel ones.

"i love you. so so much." she says, scooting closer to him, kissing him softly. he grins, kissing her back. he breaks the kiss, his hand pushing hair behind her ear. his hand trails down her face, then her jawline.

"i love you more. so much more." he grins at her, making her turn a rose red.

"ugh we have to get ready. chris said we're going out for brunch." tom sighed, knowing she didn't want to do anything at all.

"i can tell seb and chris you don't wanna go." tom said, his hand caressing her face. she shook her head.

"no, it's okay, i'll bring some advil with me." she ruffled his hair. "get dressed handsome." she smirked, literally rolling out of bed. he chuckled, watching her take the blankets with her.

tom and octavia reached the lobby at 10:30, everyone there. even though she felt disgusting, she dressed nice; a white flowy tank top and some black jean shorts. she gave a small smile to the group, walking towards her brother. a sudden wave of pain was felt in her lower stomach. her eyes widened, trying to discreetly clutch her stomach in pain.

sebastain noticed, him walking towards her. he placed his hand on her lower back, standing her up straight.

"hey, you okay doll? what's the matter?" he asked, rubbing her back. she nodded, her eyes looking down before looking back up.

"it's, ya know." she hinted, hoping he'd get the hint. he looked at her confused, like he always does. she sighed, rubbing her temples.

"i'm bleeding out my vagina sebastain." she said bluntly, his eyes widening, not expecting that. she looked around, chris hearing by accident. his face was as red a tomato, making octavia laugh.

"sorry if i made you uncomfortable, but it's something i cant control and it causes me unbearable pain but i'm craving food so let's eat."

the group got back, octavia going straight to her room, tom and robert heading out to town together. she changed into one of sebastain's oversized t- shirts and a pair of running shorts. she shuffled into bed next to sebastain, him smiling at her small, tired figure. her head rested on his chest as his hand rubbed her back soothingly, him laying a kiss on her head.

"how do you feel sweetheart?" he asked, his hand that's on the small of her back moved to the side, his hand rubbing her side.

"id rather stab myself down there. i wonder if it hurts less." she said, groaning. sebastain sighed, wishing he could do something.

"you already took some more advil, and you're on the birth control, that helps the cramps too but it should start working. just try to relax doll, i'm right here. it'll end soon." he said, his hand now playing with the ends of her hair

"just because you're on birth control doesn't mean if you and tom have sex you don't use a condom." said sebastian, making octavia's eyes widen and laugh.

"sebastian! shut up!" she exclaimed, slapping his chest. he laughed, rubbing her back again. they calmed down, the two's attention went to their favorite show.

"joey doesn't share food!" yelled matt leblanc's chatacter, joey, octavia's favorite out of the bunch. octavia chuckled, making sebastain smile. it got quite again, them in comfortable silence.

"i love you seb, so much." she mumbled against his chest. he looked down, a big grin on his face. he left a kiss on her head, his scruff tickling her head.

"i love you more octavia."
