It has been 3 days since Elia's major nightmare in front of everyone.
And since then, her mother brought her to the set every single day and kept an eye on her too. She hasn't met with anyone yet because most of the time she's asleep in her mother's trailer. Her fever has managed to spike through the mountain in the past 3 days.
It would be a lie if her parents didn't stress out over their mind. But luckily, the others manage to calm her parents' nerves.
But the nerves are coming back this morning because Elia's body temperature got higher again. Tomorrow is Halloween day. Lizzie didn't want her daughter to be upset that she can't celebrate Halloween because she's sick.
There is also gonna be a surprise for Elia.
"Can't I just stay home? Daddy's gonna be home a little late after lunch. I promise I'll be fine" Elia tried to assure her mother that she'll be fine to stay at home until her father gets back home from filming.
These past few days have also been hectic for the parents because they are running tight on their schedule and that means they have shooting till late night. Lucky for them Elia just slept through the entire time. Because she's sick, Lizzie and Sebastian's team have been keeping an eye on Eliana while the parents are shooting their scenes.
That's also another reason why the others didn't get to meet with Elia too.
"I'm sorry Baby but I'll never take the risk again" Lizzie replied as she drove to the set. Lizzie already learns her lesson by leaving Elia alone when she's sick. So, she'll never do it again because it's scared her till now.
"I promise you'll get to go home when your Daddy is done with his scenes" Lizzie added, shooting her daughter a sad smile.
Elia tends to be grumpy when she's feeling icky.
And it's adorable and hurtful for Lizzie to watch her daughter like this.
Elia just kept quiet through the whole journey to the set. And she knows her mother glancing back and forth from her driving to her. That means Lizzie is worried.

When they arrived at the set, Elia was immediately met with new faces. Boys. The 2 boys couldn't be more than 10 years old, waving to Lizzie enthusiastically and her mother waving back at them with a grin on her face.
"Hey boys, you're here already!" Lizzie greets them happily while still holding Eli's hand.
"Yeah, Mom's said The Russo's want us to practice line together before take scenes" the boy with shoulder length hair said.
"Yeah, I clearly forgot you guys are in these scenes too" Lizzie said
"Is this your daughter that you always tell us?" the boy with normal haircut said this time
"Yeah. This is my Eli" Lizzie introduces Eliana to the boys with a proud smile
"Baby, this is Jett and this is Jullian" Lizzie gestures to the 2 boys who are now smiling from ear to ear to Eliana.
"Cool! So you're like our sister right?" Jullian asks excitedly which caught Elia off guard.
"What? Sister?" Elia asks, shocked, looking at her mother in disbelief.
"They've played Wanda Maximmoff's twin son in Marvel '' Lizzie answered, and didn't take notice of Elia's tenses.
Yeah, Wanda Maximoff. Not Elizabeth Chase Olsen. I'm Elizabeth Chase Olsen's daughter. Why does it make you guys my brother? Elia thought.
She already told her parents she didn't want any siblings. Her parents also told her that they didn't plan to adopt any other kids. But what is this? A subtle hint to show her that they've changed their mind? That they are just like others who actually want younger kids.
With the addition of her fever, she's already in her grumpy state.
"Why don't you guys go ahead and I'll meet you guys in the green room?" Lizzie asks the boys, making Elia snap out of her trance.
Jett and Jullian then went to their respective parents leaving Elia and Lizzie alone.
"Come on Baby. Let's get to my trailer and you could rest in there. Daddy or I will come see you when we're done" Lizzie said, guiding Elia again to her trailer.

It has been 4 hours since she's trapped in her mother's trailer. There's no one else in here. There are usually Mama's team chilling in the trailer to watch Elia due to her mother's strict warning to not let Elia wander around all alone.
And she's also just woken up from her nap 2 hours ago and feels a lot better but she can't trust it too much. One hour she's fine, the next her temperature spiked again.
But she really feels a whole lot better. She really hopes her fever breaks because she wants to celebrate her first Halloween with her parents and her family!
Her Halloween costume arrived yesterday. MK and Ashley have sent it from New York.
Then after a lot of consideration, she wants to go to the communal area to take fresh air since she's been cooped up in her mother's trailer for almost 4 days now. She missed everyone. And if she could find Mackie, it'll be a bonus for her because she's in her silly mood.
So, there's where she goes. To the communal area. She's not sure how her parents will react when she's walking around the set all alone.
Well Sebastian for sure is gonna be lenient but Lizzie will be panicking all over her mind.
So when she arrived at the communal area, she was kinda shocked to see everyone was there and when everyone saw her, they were shocked too. They clearly didn't expect to see Eliana but Eliana was shocked because her parents didn't come and get her like they promised.
And to top it all off, Lizzie was doing some things with the boys. The boys who played Wanda Maximoff's twin sons.
'It's just a movie. You're in stupid jealousy. Mama loves you'
Elia keeps repeating that phrase in her mind.
This is gonna be a rollercoaster ride.
"Baby! I was just about to go check you in. How are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you have any nightmares again?" Sebastian said, walking to his daughter's direction.
"I'm okay. I'm awake from my nap 2 hours ago and I'm bored. I was waiting for you" Elia said, snapping out of her trance from being in her mind and smiling at her father after staring at Lizzie who is still occupied with the boys.
Seems like they are practicing their lines.
'Mama's working Eliana! Stop being pathetic!'
"I'm sorry Baby. I just got done with my scenes. Let's have lunch first and then we can head back home" Sebastian said apologetically.
"It's fine Papa. I'm okay" Elia said, letting out her fake smiles which made Sebastian frown. He already knows his daughter's fake smiles.
Scarlett, who's been watching every move of Eliana since she's arrived, clearly knows why, because she saw Eliana staring at her mother and the boys. Scarlett knows that look.
"Buddy, do you have your nightmares again?" Sebastian asks, whispering and worrying.
"No, Papa. I'm okay" Elia insists. There's no way in hell she'll tell her father that she's jealous. But Sebastian of course didn't believe it. He just looks at his daughter, pleadingly to tell him what's bothering her.
Before Elia could assures her father more that she's fine, her mother's voice came from behind them
"Eli? What's wrong, Baby? Are you okay?" Lizzie said, approaching the father- daughter duo. Elia swears her parents sound worried and looks worried day by day. She's fine though. She always convinces herself that she's fine and there's nothing wrong with her so that her parents won't be worrying too much.
"Guys, did I look like I just cried?" Elia asks incredulously
"I'm fine Mama, Papa. I came here because I was bored being trapped in Mama's trailer for almost 4 days" And I miss you
She didn't say 'I miss you' verbally because she doesn't want everyone to see her as some clingy child, some needy child.
She's not the one who cares about it but she doesn't know what's changed.
Probably seeing her Mama with the boys.
"I'm sorry Baby. But you need a lot of rest so that you'll get better before your first Halloween with us. I'm sure you don't wanna miss it right?" Lizzie said apologetically while tucking a stray of Elia's hair in the back of her ears.
Elia just pouted and nodded her head, agreeing with her Mama making her Mama smile at her daughter's adorableness.
Maybe Elia is overthinking this. Well, she's definitely overthinking it. Her Mama and Papa love her so much. They'll not replace her. The proof is right in front of her right now. Lizzie has stopped her line practicing and came to Eliana immediately.
"Look at that, I think your fever finally broke! You seem a bit cooler than this morning!" Lizzie beams, grinning in victory to her daughter while Elia just grins back at her mother.
"YES! MY PRANK BUDDY IS BACK!" Mackie shouts from where he sits, watching the Olsen- Stan family.
"Please, whatever you guys are planning please wait until Halloween so that my Baby won't fall sick again" Lizzie warns, looking back and forth at her daughter and Mackie.
Elia slump her shoulder in defeat when her mother says that in which makes Lizzie looks at her daughter with eyebrows raised and in shocked
"You did not just do that, Adelaine. Please don't tell me your other reason to be wandering around here is to give me another heart attack with your Uncle Mackie" Lizzie said in shock but everyone could hear there's a hint of amusement in Lizzie's voice.
Elia has come so far in those almost a year living with her Mama now. She's so cheeky and silly and Lizzie and the others obviously love this side. Though the cheekiness and the silliness is still in 'Elia's politeness' you will not find them complaining.
Elia just looks everywhere to avoid her mother's eyes. She was trying really hard to not burst into laughter because she's already heard her uncles and Mama Scarly snorted in laughter.
"Right, cheeky. Let's get some food for you and then we'll go back home and rest ourselves for Halloween tomorrow" Sebastian said, chuckling, tucking their daughter into his side and guiding her to the cafe in the communal area. "Or we could do our little boxing stunt while Mama's not home"
"I HEARD THAT SEBASTIAN LEONID STAN! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU'RE HAVING YOUR LITTLE BOXING STUNT WITH OUR DAUGHTER, I'LL NEVER LET YOU BOTH GO HOME ALONE ANYMORE" Lizzie warns, narrowing her eyes to her fiancé and her daughter. Everyone just burst into laughter.

New drama?! NEW DRAMA THAT'S FOR SURE! And this is not it! HEHEHEHEH. But like usual, Elia and Seb being the chaotic daddy-daughter duo who will makes Lizzie has a heart attack.
