H&J Lockdown

51

After my quarantine period we had a appointment with our original doctor, the one that would be delivering Baby J. Even though we had just seen my doctor in LA the doctor here wanted to do his own evaluation.

Thankfully everything still looked great and we started making more plans for the delivery. I only was allowed to travel for another month or so then I had to make sure I was back here until the baby was born.

Since the UK was under another lock down there wasn't much to do. Hero had a couple of jobs but for the most part we spent our time making love, watching Netflix and listening to music while we put together Baby J's room and made the house our home.

Hero put together the rocking chair first so I could lounge and watch as he put together the rest of her furniture. Watching him as he swore and talked to himself while putting it together made me smile. We were getting so close and the fact that we would be responsible for another human, a human we created, was becoming so real.

"I think she's going to need a dog." Hero says coming into the kitchen as Im making us dinner.

"Maybe when shes like two." I laugh. "And a cat?"

"She can get a cat when shes two. I was looking at a adoption website and I think we should get a dog now, so we have time to train it a little before she comes."

"But I have to go back to LA for a little while again next week, maybe we should wait till we have more time."

"Yeah..." He says disappointed.

I go to him, wrapping my arms around him and he holds me, bringing me closer and resting his chin on my head.

"We could start looking though. Get a idea of what we want when the time comes?" I say into his chest.

"Your not really going to make me wait two years, right?" He asks.

I pull back, rolling my eyes at him and go back to stirring sauce on the stove.

"No, but lets see how we handle a baby before we add more into it."

"Deal." He says, smiling like he won something before changing the subject. "Did your agent send over your flight info yet?"

"Yes. I leave next Thursday, so a week from tomorrow."

He nods, flaring his nostrils- one of his giveaways that he is annoyed.

I go over to him again and kiss his lips then hold up my pinky. "Only for a couple of weeks then I'm here for the foreseeable future."

He looks like he doesn't believe me but holds up his pinky anyway and intertwines it with mine.
