One I've Been Missing

When You Wish Upon a Star

I woke up with the sunlight peaking through my window. I lazily opened my eyes and was faced with Perrie's chest. The imagery brought me back to what happened last night, how great Perrie was, but above it all, how she took the news of Jasmine being her daughter. She was so ecstatic about it, and it was really cute. I was sure she would be great with her.

That led me into thinking. How would we tell Jasmine that? She already knew and liked Perrie, but that would surely raise questions as to why Perrie only showed up now and why we seemed to have just met.

"I can hear you thinking. What's worrying you?" I looked up to see the most beautiful blue eyes looking straight through me.

"I'm thinking of Jasmine... and you. How to tell her and everything." I replied.

"We don't need to hurry, we're going to do the test, and after that, we can wait a little until you think the time is right. Just know that if you want me to be there with you when that happens, I will be" she said, running her finger through my hair.

"Do you want to tell her with me?" I asked.

"Yes, of course. I can't wait to be part of her life, you know. Play with her, put her to bed, make her dinner, and listen to her telling me how her day was at school. Really everything." She stated it sweetly.

"You're the best. You know that, right?" I said while going in for a kiss.

"I've been told" she said with a smirk.

"Oh my god, Perrie!" I exclaimed, slapping her shoulder playfully. She pulled me by my wrists, and we started kissing again. When we pulled away, I looked at her and got curious.

"So, why do you have the year 1965 tattooed on you?" I asked while caressing her stomach where the tattoo was located.

"It's the year my mom was born. I didn't want to get something obvious like her name or a portrait, so I decided to get the year" she replied.

"Do you have any other meaningful ones?" I asked with interest.

"This one," she said, indicating her chest. "Hope. I did it when I was having a hard time seeing a future for myself and everything. Then Ellie, my cousin, found me, and she helped me have hope." She said

"That's beautiful" I said. "What about your scar? How did you get it?"

"I was walking home one night, and some guys cornered me, trying to steal my stuff. I reacted, and one of them ended up stabbing me" she said in a nonchalant manner.

"Oh, my god! That's awful. Did you call the cops? What happened?" I panicked, even though I knew she was fine. She started laughing.

"You're so cute, worried about me. I lied; that never happened. I got the scar from a surgery when I was a child" she explained.

"Fuck you, I literally hate you right now" I said jokingly.

"No, you don't." She said, going on top of me and kissing me deeply. I could feel her morning wood pressing against me, but when things started to heat up, my cellphone started ringing.

"Please ignore it" she asked while kissing my neck.

"I can't. It can be about Jasmine" she pulled away.

"Ok baby, I'll be in the bathroom" she said, standing up.

I picked up my phone from the nightstand and answered it.

"Girl, you can't drop a bomb like that on me and not tell me the outcome."

"Leigh is too early for that" I groaned.

"You sound tired, this can be a really good or bad sign" she said.

"It's a good one, believe me" I chuckled. "She took the news well and wants to be a part of Jas's life."

"Oh, my god." That's great; I knew my girl wouldn't let me down." She said animated.

"Your girl?" I asked

"Slow down, tiger. I won't steal her from you." She said laughing. "Let's just say we talked yesterday, and she made the best first impression-well, second impression, really."

"How come?" I wanted to know.

"She seemed really nice and caring, and she spoke heavens about you." Leigh said.

"That's good to hear" I couldn't hide my smile.

"So anyway, did you guys have sex? Was it good?" She inquired.

"Jesus, Leigh-Anne" I said.

"Come on, answer me" she whined.

"It was a-ma-zing" I said with a smirk.

"Now that's good to hear" she said and I laughed. I saw Perrie coming back to bed, so I said my goodbyes to Leigh-Anne and ended the call.

Perrie and I had the rest of the day to chill, so we spent it having more sex, cuddling and watching Disney movies, talking and laughing, Now it was dinnertime, and Jasmine would soon be home. We decided to cook together, and Perrie would have dinner with us, so she could see Jasmine again. We wouldn't tell Jasmine yet, but it would be good for them to spend time together regardless.

We decided to make a Georgie specialty and made mince and dumplings. We were setting the table when Karl came with Jasmine bursting through the door.

"Mommy!" she yelled, running towards me.

"Hi baby! I missed you" I said, giving her a bunch of kisses on her face.

"I missed you too, mommy" when we distanced ourselves. She noticed Perrie and squirmed to get out of my lap.

"Pezzy!" she said, running towards her.

Perrie picked her up, "Hi, how is my favorite princess doing?" Jasmine started talking to her, but I was only half listening because I was too busy admiring the scene with a huge smile on my face.

We greeted Karl and talked for a bit. He knew that Perrie and I were seeing each other, and they seemed to get along well. Perrie, Jasmine, and I ate dinner while Jas told us about her weekend in South Shields. Perrie listened to everything carefully with a look of adoration in her eyes.

It was Jasmine's bedtime now, so I told her, "Baby, it's time for bed. I need you to go upstairs and get ready for bed; I'll be there in a minute, so I can tuck you in."

"But mommy, I want to stay with Pezzy more" she whined.

Perrie touched my elbow to get my attention and said softly, "I can tuck her in if you don't mind."

"Do you want to?" I asked

"Yes" she said with a smile.

"All right then," I replied, and Perrie knelt to speak with Jasmine.

"How about I tuck you in today? Does that sound good?" she inquired cheerfully

"Yay! Can you sing for me too?" Jasmine asked excitedly.

"Of course, come on" she said, extending her hand for Jasmine to grab, and they went upstairs, and I went behind them.

I did Jasmine's nightly routine with her in the bathroom while Perrie waited in her room. After she had her pajamas on and her teeth were brushed, we went to meet Perrie. Jasmine immediately went to her, and Perrie picked her up and tucked her in bed.

Perrie sat at the edge of the bed, caressing her hair, and started to sing.

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

As I was standing there and watching them, I got a little emotional. I knew that whatever happened between me and Perrie in the future, she would still try to be her best for Jasmine.
