three ; let you down.

I hope you like this chapter. Also I didn't know where to end this chapter, so sorry if it sounds a little abrupt. 😬

January 20th, 2022

Roseanne's knee bobs up and down, she has her face tucked into her hands. She's focused on her breathing, in out, in out. The room is quiet except for the quick tempo of her sneaker bouncing up and down.

"Roseanne, you're stressing me out, quit it!" Jisoo whispers.

Roseanne's head pops up, brows furrowed. She's about to say something smart but the OB clicks her tongue, finally finishing the measurements of the baby. Their baby.

"Jisoo is about ten weeks pregnant, that puts your due date around August 18th. Keep in mind that's just an estimate. The baby could be her earlier or later." The Doctor explains.

Jisoo glances over at Roseanne whose knee went back to bouncing up and down, she can't help the eyeroll. She places a hand to Roseanne's knee, holding it down with force.

"Sorry," Roseanne mumbles, eyeing Jisoo's slightly rounded stomach.

Ten weeks. Jisoo is ten weeks pregnant. Roseanne counts backwards, trying to figure out when-

"Thanksgiving break," Roseanne says, eyes widening.

"Huh?" Jisoo asks, not understanding Roseanne's outburst.

Roseanne hangs her head in her hands, massaging her temples, "I got you pregnant the very first time we had sex."

Jisoo's face flushes and she glances at the doctor, who'd begun typing away at her computer. The doctor pauses, then turns the screen to face the two prospective parents.

"Here's your baby, would you like to hear the heartbeat?" Dr. Sohee asks.

Jisoo and Roseanne both glance at each other from the corner of their eyes, Jisoo nods. The doctor grabs the probe, running it gently across Jisoo's belly. She clicks a button and the room is filled with the sucking sound of a new heartbeat.

The two women look at each other, eyes wide and mouths open. Their eyes both prickling with tears at the corners.

"Rosé, it's our baby," Jisoo whispers.

Roseanne bites her lip, reaching for Jisoo's hand, tangling their fingers together.

The doctor types something into the computer, which then prints out a few photos of the sonogram. She hands them over and explains, "These are for you two, your next visit should be scheduled four weeks from today. Everything looks normal and healthy so far. It was great meeting you two, congratulations."

Dr. Sohee, wipes the gel from Jisoo's belly, then removes her gloves, "please stop at the reception desk on the way out to schedule your next appointment."

The ride home is quiet. Roseanne focuses on the road, Jisoo focuses on the sonogram. She traces a finger over the photograph, tracing the outline of their baby. Jisoo sets the photos down in her lap and sighs, Roseanne glances at her from the corner of her eye.

"Hmm?" Roseanne hums.

Jisoo sighs again and props her head in her hand, looking out the window. Roseanne's grip on the steering wheel tightens when Jisoo sighs for a third time. Roseanne glances at Jisoo in the mirror and pulls the car over, putting it into park.
