Notes:
The title is from OW's Symmetra when Mercy's damage boosts her.
Free: where a girl impregnates a girl through explained or unexplained means. It's unexplained in this story.
Expect lots of tribbing and scissoring...
To not get confused: women who impregnate are 'moms' and women who carry the baby are 'mothers'.

"I'll wait for you tonight. If you want."
Hyunjung says that after a moment of silence, which has followed plenty of monotone questions about work and the doctor's visit next Wednesday.
It's vague, it could mean anything, but from the strained voice and the sliver of delicacy that echos from Hyunjung's voice, Jiyeon knows for sure that Hyunjung's asking her whether she wanted them to fuck or not tonight.
"Sure," Jiyeon replies, and softly clears her throat, idly playing with her pen. "I have dinner with Juyeonie, but I'll be home early."
"I'll see you later then, Jiyeon-ssi," Hyunjung says, as formal and polite as ever.
Jiyeon sighs, putting her phone down. The buzz around her in the office should distract her from thinking about this odd phase in her life is currently stuck, but it only adds fuel to a looming headache.
She's been married to Hyunjung for eight and a half months now; those should've been enough to at least erase any initial awkwardness and formalities.
But they haven't because to Jiyeon, Hyunjung is anything but a lover.
She's still a stranger, and both of them had been forced into this marriage by their families with the expectation of them having a baby to strengthen the newfound bond between the two families.
Hyunjung's still a stranger to her, and the only solace Jiyeon gets is the fact that Hyunjung feels the same way about her.
Jiyeon finds Hyunjung in her small office when she gets home; she's on the phone, frowning and deep in a heated conversation. She decides to shower then, to get rid of work's stress.
When she finishes with that, she finds Hyunjung seated on the edge of her bed; perked up and quiet.
Careful and attentive.
"Hey," Jiyeon says, wrapped in a towel and soothed by the hot shower.
"Hey," Hyunjung replies with a quick smile, and when Jiyeon lets her gaze linger on hers, Hyunjung looks away. "Mother was just telling me about the trip we're to take with them next month."
Jiyeon's expressions change upon hearing that.
"We're going on it hasn't even been that long since the last one!"
"I know," Hyunjung says, sorry. "It's because elections are approaching, she wants to cover all her bases, I guess."
Jiyeon swears, sensing her anger soaring.
She dries her hair, pressing a little harshly to prevent that.
It doesn't work, of course.
Hyunjung's mother has been relentless in making her life a hell, and knowing that she'd have to wear the mask of a happily married woman for the cameras is not what will get her in the mood to have sex with her wife tonight.
