Part 45 | I Am Her Better Half, So
JENNIE
What a lovely morning to see Lisa at home again! I couldn't ask for more. I am complete. We are complete!
I can't believe my view right now. Lisa with the twins swimming at the pool. They're so happy to have her here now. I remembered how Lisa took care of them when they were born. And now, she makes sure she makes up with them for the lost time.
I also ensure to cook delicious food every day for her body can recover from the weight she lost for 2 years. But even Lisa is a bit skinny now, I don't know how she managed to be strong and still sexy as she is.
She got up and sat beside me to have her coffee when Luna and Lucas' nanny came in the pool.
"How can you be so sexy at 30?" I told her.
"How can you be so damn sexy and hot while pregnant?" She said. This sweet talker!
"Have you thought of a name already?" I asked her.
"Not yet, Babe. How about you?" She asked.
"I'm thinking of....a Japanese name that's starts with L too." I said and looked at her.
"Because he's made in Japan?" Lisa laughed and I did too. Yes, we're having a boy!
"Crazy. I like the name Leigh for a guy. And maybe we can have Jin as his second name for you too fulfill your Japanese beliefs, love?" Lisa smiled.
"Leigh Jin. Sounds like a girl's name. How about Leigh J'. That's it." I said and I really liked it.
"Alright. Anything you want. You're the boss here at home. We can't wait to see you my Leigh J'." Lisa said while rubbing my bump and she kissed me.
"Babe, I'm preparing a dinner next week to celebrate your come back. If it's just okay with you. You know. You've been here at home for 3 months already and never went out of the house. When are you planning to be back at the office?" I asked her while rubbing her face.
"It's fine with me, Babe. As long as it won't stress you out. Give me another month or two then I'll come back to the office." She said. There I understood she needs more a little time.
The night has come. I invited our families, close friends and people who were there with Lisa through good and bad times.
I can sense that she's a bit uncomfortable. Especially when her parents are around. I remembered how Lisa made me realize to forgive my Dad. Maybe, as her wife, I should make a way too for her and her family and siblings to reconcile again.
"Love, are you ready to come down? They're all here." I asked her when I entered our room and approached her.
She's sitting at the couch, drinking a glass of wine and just staring at the window watching our visitors.
"I'm---I'm nervous. I don't know how they look at me. How they see me. If I'm still the—" She said stuttering and her eyes are red. I hugged her and cupped her face.
"You never were. And we're really sorry if we made you believe you were. I am sorry, Love." I told her and my heart is starting to crush seeing my wife still affected with what happened. But instead of making her feel sorry for herself, I must lift her up.
"You know, why would we care to what others say? Maybe what's important is to move forward right? But I just want you to know, you may feel whatever you are feeling now and I am just here to listen to you and be with you every step of the way. I won't let go of your hand. You can cry if you want. You have me." I told her and she looked at me and I can see in her eyes that somehow, I made her scarred heart calm a bit.
