Jo woke up before her wife with a pounding pain in her eye. She rolled out of bed carefully to not disturb her wife. She walked cautiously through the dark and into the bathroom. She gently closed the door before flipping the light on. She leaned against the counter bring her face close to the mirror "You have got to be shiting me" her left eye was nearly swollen shut. Her Tiffany ring caught the light as she brought her hand up to inspect the lid. She hissed when the pain intensified. She had a few hours till they were expected at the Hotel room to begin getting ready. Jo shut the light off stumbling into the now pitch black room sneaking to the kitchen Red hot on her heels. She fed Red before getting to work preparing breakfast for Lizzie making toast with avocado, substituting Lizzies former favorite of smoked salmon with bacon, and a fried egg. She brewed the coffee and put Lizzies prenatal on the tray before hiking up the stairs. She gently placed the tray on the dresser before walking to the window opening the black-out curtain. Lizzie groaned sleepily. Jo smiled gently walking over to her wife. She kissed Lizzies forehead before kissing her bump, twice, of course, Lizzie smiled at her wife's sweetness.

"Time to wake up love."

"Hmm"

"I made breakfast." Jo cooed

"Bacon?" Lizzie asked eyes shut

"Yes." Jo laughed walking to get the tray.

When she turned back around a sleepy Lizzie was sitting up in bed. Jo laughed placing the tray on Lizzies lap kissing her head. Lizzie reached out taking hold of Jo's elbow keeping her from leaving. Jo leaned down again. The pad of Lizzies thumb ghosted across Jo's eye "Oh, honey"

Jo grabbed Lizzies hand kissing it "It's fine. I'm going to put a hot press on it."

Lizzie nodded patting the space beside her "I think you forgot the twins can't eat yet. Join me?"

"Always." Jo sat beside her wife. While they ate Jo asked, "Is it still cool if I do that Instagram thing we talked about?"

Lizzie nodded "Yeah,"

"Okay," Jo leaned over kissing the space where Lizzies jaw hinge met her neck. Jo went

into the kitchen grab a washcloth soaking it in hot water before stepping outside opening her phone "Hey guys it's me, Lizzie, It's a big day. Fortunately, I woke up with a stye so I'm hot compressing. I'm looking forward to bringing you into my world today as it's Emmy Sunday. Talk soon!" Jo blew a kiss before going back inside, Lizzie was laughing in the kitchen,

"I hate your impression of me."

Jo walked over kissing the top of Lizzies head, "We have a few hours before we have to go. What do you want to do?"

Lizzie smirked, whispering something in Jo's ear before pulling her up the stairs. 🌑


When they arrived at the hotel where Lizzie and Jo would be getting ready. Jo shook hands with the glam squad of stylist Elizabeth Stewart, makeup artist Pati Dubroff, and hairstylist Adir Aberge. Adir said, "You two are gorgeous."

Pati kissed each of their cheeks "Lizzie you are glowing."

Elizabeth asked the two "Are you ready to see the dress?"

The dress and suit hung on the chandelier in a private room. Elizabeth stepped out of the way giving Lizzie and Jo a minute. Jo and Lizzie walked over basking in the moment. Tears filled Lizzies eyes as she read the tag The Row for Elizabeth Olsen. When the two had cleaned themselves up they stepped out ready for full glam. Lizzie sat in the chair as Adir said "Okay Mom you ready for the new bob?"
