Husband With Benefits

Olivia winced slightly as Seb’s fingers entwined with hers, their grip almost bone-crushingly tight. She stole a glance at Seb, noting the serene mask he wore. If she weren’t experiencing the vice-like grip of his hand herself, she might have believed he was completely unaffected.

Olivia couldn’t help but chuckle softly, despite the discomfort of Seb’s iron grip on her hand. "You know, Seb, I never took you for a worrywart. Here I thought you were Mr. Fearless, facing down danger without breaking a sweat. But you are..."

Seb frowned as he turned to her with an unruffled look," Are you projecting your emotions or something? From which angle do I look worried to you? You need me to take you to the eye doctor?¹"

Olivia rolled her eyes," Your face does not look worried. You are right. Your hand on the other hand has almost turned my bones into powder."

She grinned as he almost pulled his hand away and shook her head, while holding onto it tightly," Seb, this is not your business negotiation you know. You are allowed to show your emotions."

Seb sighed and rolled his eyes,"I’m not worried alright! I’m just... why is this doctor taking so long! I mean they’ve already applied the gel and everything. Now what are they waiting for. Just do the ultrasound and tell me everything is fine!"

Olivia smile dand squeezed his hand reassuringly," Seb, the baby is going to be fine! I just know it in my heart. Stop torturing yourself. This is just a routine ultrasound so of course they are going to come when they are ready. You cannot expect the doctor to drop everything and come running the moment she is told that you are here."

"Of course I don’t." Seb said with a pout before murmuring," I expect her to be here when I come here. Here and waiting."

Olivia rolled her eyes and shook her head," What sense of entitlement!"
