RP: Oliver/Savannah
Who: Oliver/Savannah
When: 3-23-13
Where: The house
Summary: Pregnancy and partners.
Oliver would admit he wasn't the best at reading people, primarily because he didn't care enough to try. He'd slipped back into the distant person he'd become on the island, since the episode with Tommy. He'd fake being social when he had to, but he'd stick with the one piece of advice Tommy had given him the rest of the time: to be himself, and being himself meant making sure he was able to get the job done, whatever it entailed - including having a partner.
Oliver eyed his partner after the food was put away where she wanted it. Tommy had gone off immediately to be with the Hammond-Barrish clan, and Marty was seeing to the twins. Savannah looked tired, in Oliver's opinion. He'd read up on pregnancy and knew at the beginning and the end, sleep or rest was a big thing. He'd also read that that the last weeks were hell and he'd been waiting for Savannah to tell him they needed to adjust but she hadn't; she'd been going on like nothing effected her.
It'd reached the point, though, that her not saying anything was bothering him. So he brought it up now that they were alone. "I want to talk to you," Oliver started. "We're partners, right? We're supposed to be working together, looking out for each other, and whatnot. I've been waiting for you to tell me how we should adjust for your pregnancy and you haven't said a word. Are you testing me? Am I supposed to guess? I've done my homework on pregnancy, but that's just words on a computer screen. I'm not a pregnant woman so I don't know what or how you're really feeling and I'd rather not assume anything.
"So tell me, how should we be adjusting to keep going? It's not like the world stops simply because you're pregnant, not this one and especially not the next one. We need to keep up with the others, but we also need to do it in a different way. The mental activities, not so hard, but the physical - there's no reason we can't figure out how to shift things and still be on course."
