Janiyah's POV

I told Graeme I would drive to the set today. I am on my way now. This really is exciting - me acting in a movie.

I made a right turn into the studio parking lot. The security guard let me through when I showed him my badge. I have a parking spot next to Graeme, so that is where I drove to.

Looks like we are twins today. He drove his Cullinan and so did I. I felt like spoiling myself today. As I stepped out and locked the door, I saw Damion and Graeme coming my way.

"Sorry we were not here," Graeme says as grabbed me to get a taste of his sugar.

"Eww, you two are gross. It's bad enough that I will have to watch my sister and best friend having... Ugh, I can't even say it."

"Boy, hush. We are still newlywed, Damion. Wait until you get married."

"Niyah boo, we are taking a break now. We need to be back on the set at 2:00 pm."

"Okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2:00 pm

Lou - "For the afternoon scene, Jax brings Carmen and Sebastian to the secret headquarters to meet the commander. Jax breaks the silence while driving his Silverado. Action!!!"

***********

Jax - "So, Sebastian is it? How long have you and CC been dating?"

Carmen - "Jax don't even start it. It's none of your business."

Sebastian - "CC, it's okay. We have been dating for almost two years."

Jax - "And, you haven't put a ring on her yet?"

Carmen - "Sebastian, don't answer that."

Sebastian - "That plan was ruined when our vacation was canceled."

Carmen is surprised at this revelation. And, Jax suddenly is irritated.

Carmen - "You were? Sebastian, I don't need a fancy proposal."

Sebastian - "Carmen Clarke, will you marry me?"

Sebastian pulls out a ring.

Carmen - "It's beautiful, Sebastian. Yes, I will marry you. Well, Jax you just got your answer. I'm engaged. Now, how much longer do we have to go?"

In a hush, irritated tone, Jax says,

Jax - "We are here."

Carmen - "But Jax, this is just an underground......."

Suddenly, a secret door opens, and Jax drives through a tunnel. When the Silverado comes to a stop, Jax, Carmen, and Sebastian step out.

Jax - "Commander Lewis, this is Carmen Clarke. And, Scientist Sebastian...."

Sebastian - "Sebastian Stevens."

Jax - "Whatever."

Jax storms away somewhere.

Commander Lewis - "I apologize for the short notice. Thank you for coming. Whatever you need to build the ship is yours."

Carmen - "Commander Lewis, I had to come. My brother is all I have left. Jax told me you already had the frame of the ship. Can you show me what is built so far?"

Commander Lewis - "Sure. Follow me this way."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lou - "And, cut!! Great job, everyone. Janiyah, are you sure you haven't acted before?"

"I was in a school play in elementary school. That's it."

"You are remembering your lines very well. Keep up the good work. Everyone take a short break. The next scene will begin with Carmen confronting Jax. Let's reconvene at 3:30 pm. That will be the final scene for the day."

***********************************

After everyone is asleep, Carmen confronts Jax is his room about what happened earlier. She knocks on his door. He turns around but doesn't say anything.

Carmen - "Jax, we need to talk. Can you explain the attitude you had introducing me and Sebastian to the Commander? Why were you so irritated that I got engaged in your truck?"

Jax - "There's nothing to talk about. And, I was not irritated."

Carmen - "Jax, you do realize who you are talking to? We dated for two years. I still remember your tendencies. You were irritated. Are you jealous because Sebastian proposed to me?"

Jax starts tossing stuff, indicating that he is.

Jax - "Why would I be jealous of whatever his name is? Congratulations on getting engaged."

Carmen walks over to where Jax was sitting.

Carmen - "Jax, you are. And, his name is Sebastian. Again, it's your fault we are not together. Jax, I always thought that you would be the one to propose to me. But you dumped me. I wasn't good enough for you. So, you can't be upset, irritated, or jealous."

Jax grinds his teeth, then answers.

Jax - "What part of what I said don't you understand? Please, Carmen, we are here together to rescue Neo. Let's focus on that only. Excuse me."

Jax tries to walk out of his room, but Carmen stops him and shuts the door.

Carmen - "The first thing you need to do is to watch the tone in your voice. I'm not the one. The second thing is you came to me. You should have known our breakup would've been mentioned at some time. We can't change what happened in the past. Jax, just admit that you are jealous. I saw it at my house, and earlier this morning I saw it."

Jax pins Carmen to the wall.

Jax - "Fine. I'm jealous! Is that what you want to hear?! It wasn't you that wasn't good enough. It was me! That relationship with Ashley didn't last at all. With her, it was lust. But with you it was love. I only have myself to blame. I would always ask Neo about you. He would just say you are fine, and you are. You're still the same - feisty and beautiful. How can I be happy when the one woman I let get away is engaged to be married? I still keep a picture of you in my wallet."

Jax pulled out his wallet and shows Carmen the picture. In a flash, Jax then kisses Carmen so passionately that she wraps her legs around him and is carried to the bed.

I can't believe I am about to do this in front of everyone.

Jax and Carmen start taking off each other's clothes, then proceed to indulge in each other.

Carmen and Jax switch positions where she was now on top and enjoying the view. We had to do this the way we do at home.

I gave him the thrill of a lifetime - arched back, etc., meaning the works. He was enjoying this. After leaning in for the kiss, we switched places and he went to work on my body - gyrating, kissing me from head to toe, etc. The bed felt like it was going to break. At that moment, Carmen forgot she was engaged.

Thirty minutes later, we were still at. We forgot we were on the set for a moment.

Jax - "Carmen, I am so sorry about our breakup. I am still in love with you."

He says that while further punishing my body. That's when Carmen realizes she is engaged to Sebastian.

Carmen - "Jax, we have to stop. I let this go too far. Sebastian is going to hate me for this. I need to go."

Carmen proceeds to get up and put her clothes back on.

Carmen - "From now on, we only need to talk about the ship and rescuing my brother."

***********************

As I quickly left the room, Lou yells,

Lou - "Cut!!! Well, you two certainly are not shy. That was as hot and steamy as a sex scene can get. That's a wrap for the day. Tomorrow, we will jump in time to where the ship has been built. Carmen still hasn't told Sebastian about what happened. The team has been assembled and is ready to take the ship down. Everyone have a good night."

"Lou, I scheduled myself to be off next week from my company. I can come in earlier."

"That would help a lot, Janiyah. Thank you. Graeme, you have an amazing, bright, and beautiful wife. Don't ever let her go."

"I sure do. I'm one, lucky guy."

"You're welcome, Lou." Lou walked away, then Damion came over with his face scrunched up.

"No wonder I hear Janiyah moaning and groaning at the house. I need my own place soon. If there was an award for those scenes, you and Graeme would win hands down."

"You crack me up, Damion. Let's go get changed and head home for dinner."

Graeme's POV

Lou - "Let's begin the scene with Carmen, Sebastian, Jax, Brian, Thomas, Vince, and Jackie aboard the ship as it plummets into the Earth. Thomas and Brian are the pilots. Jackie and Vince are the medical team. Action!"

~~~~~~~

Carmen - "I think I am going to be sick. I'm going to the medical bay."

Carmen stood up from her chair and ran away from the bridge. So, it was just me and Sebastian.

Sebastian - "Is something going on between you two? You and Carmen have barely spoken two words to each other over the last month."

Jax - "Neo did say the ride down was bumpy. What makes you think something is going on?"

Sebastian - "Because each time I bring up your name, Carmen starts yelling at me."

Jax realizes at this point Carmen still hasn't told Sebastian about their intimate rendezvous.

Jax - "No, nothing is going on. You do know she hates me because of me dumping her two years ago?"

Sebastian - "You do know that she is mine now? So, don't even try to worm your way back into her life."

Jax and Sebastian are now standing face to face.

Jax - "Look, Mr. Scientist, just because you finally slipped a ring on CC after almost two years doesn't mean she is yours. I will do all I can to win Carmen back. Watch your back."

Jax and Sebastian were about to fight until Carmen stopped it.

Carmen - "Stop it! Just stop it! Sebastian and Jax, the three of us need to talk now."

We followed Carmen to the break room of the ship.

Carmen - "Sebastian, I need to give you this ring back because what I am about to say will make you upset."

Carmen gave Sebastian the ring back.

Carmen - "There is no easy way to say it. I'm pregnant."

Sebastian - "Well, that's great news. Why would you give me the ring back? Wait a minute. Is that why Jax is here?"

Carmen - "Yes. It happened the same day you proposed to me."

Sebastian - "The two of you haven't seen each other in two years, and this is what happened. Jax just bold-faced lied and said nothing is going on with you two!! CC, you waited a month to tell me you were intimate with you ex! Now, that explains the screaming and yelling at me. There's nothing we can do now. After we are done rescuing your brother, don't bother contacting me again!"

Sebastian stormed out of the break room.

Carmen - "Don't think just because I am pregnant with your child that we are getting back together. I don't know the baby's gender yet. You are the baby's father, so just know that I will not keep your daughter or son away from you."

Jax tries to hug Carmen, but she holds him back.

Jax - "Thank you. That's all I ask."

Over the loudspeaker, Brian says, "Carmen and Jax, we are getting ready to land the ship at the coordinates Neo gave us."

Carmen and Jax walk back to the bridge and take a seat. Within a few minutes, the ship lands. Carmen is about to get up and leave the ship but Jax tries to stop her.

Jax - "Carmen, you need to stay on the ship. You're pregnant."

Carmen - "Jax, I did not come down to the center of the Earth to sit on this ship. I want to see my brother. I'm going."

Jax - "Stop being stubborn and stay on the ship."

Carmen - "Stop being my boss. I'm getting off this ship. I will not do anything to harm this baby. Now, get out my way."

Carmen pushes Jax out of the way and exits the ship with everyone. Once she spots Neo, the immediately begin to hug each other.

Carmen - "Neo, thank goodness you are okay."

Neo - "Hey, Jax. Um, Carmen why does Sebastian seem upset?"

Carmen - "Well, I told him I am pregnant, but the baby is not his. It's Jax's child."

Neo's mouth was wide opened, in shock.

Neo - "Wait just one minute? You and Jax? I thought you hated him. You know what? That is none of my business. Now, let's get the heck out of here."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lou - "And, cut!!! Great job, everyone! At the rate we are filming, the premiere will be on schedule for December. That's if we don't have any setbacks. Have a great weekend, and we'll be back at it on Monday."

"Niyah and Damion, what would you both like to eat?"

"How about we go to Fogo dé Chao? And, I am paying," Janiyah says with arched eyebrows. Who am I to disagree when your wife is paying for dinner?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tuesday, August 6th, 2019

We are almost at the end of filming the movie. Our last week of filming will be at the end of this month. The last two months have been a breeze.

To recap what we filmed, we were trapped for a month down in the center of the Earth - kidnapped by actual, living humans. Several of them were interested in where we came from and helped us escape.

After escaping, we made it safely to our ship and hauled it up to the surface. Once on the surface the way down to the surface was sealed, never to be opened again.

Sebastian was never seen again. Neo found himself a girlfriend. Carmen and Jax are now on speaking terms. Carmen is now 7 months pregnant and is having a little girl. Jax is about to take a chance to get Carmen back.

Lou - "Okay, in this scene, Jax and Carmen are setting up the baby's room. Jax is about to ask Carmen a very, important question. Action!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carmen - "Thank you for helping me with Skylar's room. It's beautiful, Jax."

Jax - "It is. You know this is the most exciting thing to happen in my life - being a father. Thank you for allowing me to help and to be involved in Skylar's life."

Carmen turns to face Jax, and with a smile on her face.

Carmen - "She is your daughter and I can't take that away from you. You have every right to be in her life. And, she is kicking me at this moment."

Jax - "Carmen, I want to ask you something very important, and it pertains to Skylar. I'm sorry for being a stubborn jackass. I'm sorry for breaking up with the best woman that I ever dated. Not for one moment do I regret what happened in June. It was magical. I not only want to be in Skylar's life but yours as well. Will you give me a second chance and marry me?"

Carmen - "That's a beautiful ring, Jax. Yes, I will........."

Janiyah didn't finish her sentence. She fainted!

Lou screamed, "Get an ambulance here now!!!"

"Graeme, what happened to Janiyah?!" Damion asked as he ran over to where we were.

"She seemed wobbly, and just fainted. Janiyah, wake up Mi Vida." I didn't want to shake her for fear of hurting her. So, I started brushing her hair out of her face and planting kisses on her cheeks.

We heard the ambulance outside the studio, then saw two paramedics running inside.

"Sir, can you tell us what happened?"

"My wife appeared dizzy, then she collapsed mid-sentence."

"Does she have any allergies?" The paramedics asked as they placed Janiyah on a stretcher.

"No, she doesn't have any allergies."

"What's your wife's name?"

"Janiyah Harrison."

"Graeme, I'm coming too. What hospital is my sister being taken too?" Damion asked.

"She is being taken to Lakeland General. Mrs. Harrison, can you hear me?" Janiyah was then wheeled away to the ambulance. I was right behind. Please let her be okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damion and I have been sitting in the waiting room for about an hour. Megan, Maddi, and my parents came.

I have never been more distraught than I am now. I can't lose her, at all. My heart won't be able to take it.

We finally saw a doctor coming our way.

"Mr. Harrison, I presume?"

"Yes, I am Janiyah's husband. And, this is her brother, Damion. And, my family is with me as well. Is my wife okay?"

"Gentlemen, follow me, please. I am your wife's doctor, Dr. Michaelson."

We followed the doctor to the elevator. Then, we made our way up to the 2nd floor. We took a short walk to Janiyah's room.

She had the biggest smile on her face, so she must be okay.

"I asked the doctor not to tell you anything yet because I wanted to tell you."

Janiyah handed me something.

I looked at it for several minutes, then looked back at Janiyah.

"Is this what I think it is?!"

"You got it, daddy-to-be. That's an ultrasound of our 8-week old baby. I'm pregnant with our first child."
