Babysitting my girlfriend

Baby Steps

"I dropped to one knee"

Lisa says to her mom through the phone. It's only 9 p.m. but both of the lovers are already on the bed; entangling their limbs together. 

Down the line, Clare asks again. Clearly confused. 

"Did you fall?"

She asks and Lisa scowls. "What? Oh my go, no mom! I mean, I proposed"

"You proposed who?"

Clare asks again. Confusion clearly in the air. 

"Roseanne, mom" Lisa explains, pinching the bridge of her nose as she sees her fiancée laughing next to her. "Shut up" she says playfully at the doctor but Roseanne continues to laugh, although softly, her nose grazes the skin around Lisa's neck. 

"Oh" Clare responds. "OH MY GOD, IS THIS LISA?"

"Obviously" Lisa's chest expands as she inhales. "What's wrong with you? Are you alright?"

"Honey, I'm so proud of you" the woman finally says with a hint of smile in her sentence. "And don't mind me. You sister just pranked call me a few hours ago saying the same shit"

"Jisoo unnie did that?" the Thai bites her lower lip to stop herself from laughing as her mom confirms. Lisa makes a mental note to choke her sister after this call ends. 

"And I thought she called again to mess up with me and turns out it's you. Oh honey, I'm so proud of you"

"I know"

"So" Clare says nervously. "Did she say yes?"

Lisa pauses, staring at her lover before intertwining their hands together; the ring around Roseanne's finger flitters. 

"She said yes" 

The hotelier says. "She said yes, mom" she repeats as a smile blooms all over her face. 

"OH MY GOD! YOU BETTER COME BACK HOME SO THAT I CAN PLAN WHAT TO DO FOR YOUR WEDDING!"

"Calm down" Lisa giggles. "We'll go back soon as Rosie gets her leaves approved" 

"Are you bullshitting me right now, Lalisa?"

"Of course not. I'm serious"

"Fine" the woman says. "Make sure you come back home unmarried Lisa. I don't want you guys to come back home being married to each other or whatever shit. You're my youngest baby. I want your wedding to be the best one, honey"

"I know. I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Okay, kiddo. I love you"

"I love you too, mom"

Lisa draws her phone from her left ear and puts it back on top of the nightstand. She shifts to her left side so that she can be cuddling with her lover. The pink haired doctor shuts her eyes as sleepiness starts to consume her and Lisa doesn't even bother to wake her up. They have been making up to each other for the lost time on the bed and Lisa can clearly say she is fully satisfied with everything she has in her life right now. 

Her career is doing fine. Her family supports her and her love of life has just said yes to her proposal. How can life be more perfect than this? Lisa doesn't know. 

Taking a deep breath, she hugs her lover tightly; her arms securing the pink haired in her arms. 

"I love you" she says. "I really love you, Roseanne Park. And I can't wait to babysit our baby for you"

That weekend, both of the lovers find themselves standing at Claire Manoban's doorstep with a bouquet of flowers in Lisa's hand and the other holding tightly to Roseanne's. 

"You ready?" the hotelier asks and Roseanne nods. "With you? Always"

Lisa raps the door a few times before it springs opened, revealing her mother with a huge, gorgeous smile all over her face. 

"Just about time, Manoban" she presses Lisa into a hug before pushing her apart to welcome Roseanne. 

"Mom! I'm not even married but you're choosing her over me"

"Well, I like Roseanne better" Claire says bluntly. "Now let's go inside, honey. Dinner awaits.

They enjoy dinner with small talks and wonderful stories. When it's time for dessert, Claire finally stares at her daughter who's completely looks in love with the pink haired doctor. 

"When's the wedding?"

"We haven't discussed the date yes" Roseanne says politely as she reaches for Lisa's hand on the table and laces them together. "But if you have something in mind, I don't think Lisa and I would object"

"Oh darling, I would suggest tomorrow but Lisa would call me crazy"

"I don't think so" Lisa grins. "I am so tempted to marry this woman, mom. I don't think I can wait any longer"

Next to her, Roseanne blushes. 

"You're blushing" Lisa whispers and Roseanne turns even redder. 

"Jagi" Lisa teases, nibbling the blonde's earlobe. "Did I tell you how breathtaking you look today?"

"As much as I love to see this PDA, I would rather not to puke back all my dinner, Lisa" her mom snaps as she grabs the spoon to eat her dessert. "I mean, Rosie. You have to listen to me.. Lisa has a trouble keeping her hands to herself. So, you've to be stern with her. She'll sulk but let her be. I like when she doesn't talk. No noise pollution, you know?"

"Mom, you're so annoying"

"I know" Claire winks. "That's how I outlive your dad. I bet he's tossing in his grave now as we speak"

"Do you have to mention him?" Lisa whines.

"No" Claire states. "Listen, I hate him as much as you hate him. But I'm gonna say his name to piss you off because God, I love pissing you off"

"You're crazy"

"I am"

"I don't know why I love you"

"Me too" Claire smiles as Lisa hugs her. "Guess your mom is just upset you're getting married"

"Upset?"

"Not in a bad way" the woman reminds her. "I'm just, you're my best friend"

"Unnie is your best friend" Lisa points out and Claire nods. "Yeah, you're kind of like my back up best friend"

"MOM!"

"Kidding"

"Not funny"

"Well, Rosie" Claire smiles. "I'm so glad you said yes to my idiot. Now, she's all yours. Your idiot"

"Yes" Roseanne looks at Lisa. "My idiot"
