The situation was heated after the judge made the decision he made. Lisa was angry and hurt at the same time. How was it possible that acting out of impulse could cost her spending more time with her son?

The first few weeks, Lisa barely said a word to Jennie. Of course she didn't want to talk to her. She still couldn't believe that things had to be that way. She didn't want to have to go through all that. Lisa thought that with Rosé having connections, she would've end up winning, but she was wrong. If she hadn't stopped by Jennie's job, the outcome would've been different.

As the weeks went by, things were getting better between her and Jennie. Lisa wasn't upset any longer and they actually were beginning to have a civilized co-parenting relationship.

They were communicating effectively and would agree on everything that had to deal with Henry. They weren't the best of friends, but they would treat each other with respect.

Jennie on the other hand decided to give herself a shot a being happy with Mark. At first when the tall handsome blue eyed man came to NYC, Jennie didn't know if it was a good idea to get involved with him romantically and get his hoes up. She didn't know if things were going to work our or it was best to just stay friends and have nothing more than the friendship they had been having for years now.

But seeing how good Mark was with her and Henry in particular, all the support he gave her even since he moved to the states, and the simple fact that he was by her side was more than enough.

She didn't have much to think about, they were already doing what a normal couple does. They would spend time together, go out together, and lets not forget about the sex. Why not give herself a chance and formalize everything? At the end, it was the least Jennie could do after everything Mark has done for her and her son.

Henry adored Mark, ever since he was little. He used to think Mark was his dad at one point; he even called him that on multiple occasions when he was three. Jennie almost died out of embarrassment. She didn't want Mark to think that she was trying to pawn Henry onto him, making him believe Mark was his dad and that he had to be responsible for him. But if she had asked him to be his dad, Mark would have not thought about it twice and agree on stepping into that role.

Jennie knew Mark adored kids, she noticed that by how sweet he was with Henry. But she didn't ever asked him directly because she didn't want him to think that she wanted him to be Henry's dad.

Lisa wasn't all that happy knowing that Mark was spending a lot of time with her son for multiple reasons. Being close to Henry was no the only thing that the black haired girl was upset by, she was also upset that he was near Jennie.

Her Jennie

Yes, her Jennie. Lisa still had hopes that she could get her family back. She missed Jennie, but she knew there was a huge obstacle in the middle. And that obstacle had a name.

Mark.

Jennie and Mark were watching TV in between laughs and kisses. The situation was getting a bit heated when Mark got in between Jennie's legs and started kissing her deeply. The blue-eyed guy started thrusting his hips in between Jennie's legs. Jennie started getting hot as she started panting.

Jennie knew where the situation was headed to when Mark started unbuttoning her shirt. The brunette was about to take his shirt off when he heard someone knocking on the door. Jennie pushed Mark a bit, making him stop.

"Wait, there's someone at the door"

"I doubt its important..." He said as he captured her lips once again, but Jennie placed her hand on his chest pushing him a bit so he could stop.

"We don't know that..." She said as she got up and started buttoning her shirt back up. "I wont be long..." She gave him a quick peck and went to open the door.

Once Jennie got to the door, she looked through the peephole and her smile grew up instantly when she saw who was behind the door.

"Baby!" She said picking up the sweet little boy, which he wasn't as little as before. He was getting bigger and bigger each day that passed by.

"Hi mommy" He hugged her and giving her a big kiss. Jennie gave him many kisses and then put him down.

"Say bye to mommy Lisa"

"Bye mommy Lisa" Said the little one as he hugged Lisa once she got down at his level to give him a proper hug.

"I'll see you soon ok, I'm going to miss you"

"I going to miss you too mommy" He gave her a smile and then went inside the apartment.

"Here are some of his toys that he wanted to bring back" Lisa said as she gave her a bag with many of Henry's favorite toys.

Lisa couldn't help notice that Jennie's shirt was buttoned incorrectly. Lisa cleared her throat realizing what Jennie had been doing prior to her arrival. She knew Jennie, and she knew she wouldn't blush for no reason, especially in the middle of the winter.

"Your shirt..." She said pointing at her shirt. "Is buttoned wrong" Jennie looked down, blushing even more.

"I..." That was the only thing that came out of her mouth, she was embarrassed that she wanted to dig up a hole and hide in it.

"Don't forget to wrap it up, you don't want an unexpected pregnancy..." Jennie rolled her eyes a bit irritated.

"I don think that matter to you. What matters is that you should be the one to take the appropriate precautions. I'm sure you have plenty of flings."

"Perhaps, maybe I don't..."

"Just don't get my son involved with the many of your flings please. I don't want him to get used to someone who most likely wont see after a few weeks."

"Of course not Jennie, I don't just let anyone get close to my son. You in the other hand..."

"We're not going to touch that subject again Lisa, please..." Jennie said before she could finished what she was going to say knowing she was talking about Mark. "You know clearly that Mark has been involved in Henry's life longer than you have."

"I know that Jennie..." Lisa sighed trying to calm down, she was getting upset once again for the simple fact that not only Mark was involved in her son's life, but was also getting in between Jennie's legs.

"Let's not argue please. In less than two months we have to go back to court. I would like to keep the agreement we have, it seems to be working just fine." Lisa rolled her eyes getting irritated over that topic.

"It's not that great for some of us, but I don't want to make a big deal. If that's what you want, we can keep that agreement. I wanted to ask you if you already knew what you had planned for Christmas."

"I'm not all sure just yet, but my mom is visiting for Christmas in a week. We wanted to spend Christmas with her, Henry can spend Christmas eve with you during the morning."

"Can't he stay all Christmas eve with me? I can drop him off Christmas morning"

"I don't know Lisa, he has always spentChristmas eve and then Christmas day with me"

"Jennie please... is the first Christmas that I get to spend with him..."

"I have to think about it Lisa, I'll let you know ok?" Lisa sighed knowing thatmost likely she would say no. Every time she would tell her I'll let you know, it meant she wasgoing to say no.

"Ok, let me know as soon as possible" Lisa left knowing that they probably willhave an argument over that.

The rest of the night, Jennie was busy with Henry. After she gave him a showerand read him a book, she watched him sleep for a bit. Every time she wouldwatch him sleep, she couldn't help remembering when he was little and howadorable he looked sleeping.

He thoughts were interrupted when she felt a pair of muscular arms wrappedaround her body.

"What are you doing?" Mark asked as he kissed her neck slowly

"Nothing, I was just watching him sleep. He looks so sweet and innocent"

"Yes he does, I still remember when I met him for the first time, he was solittle."

"Come on, lets to the room, I don't want to wake him up"

Mark agreed giving her a kiss on the cheek. They when to Jennie's room and didthe nightly routine. Once they got into their pjs, they decided to watch TV. Ittook longer to put their pjs on than what it took for them to get rid of themand do their adult activities.

They were laying down in bed, enjoying each other's company. Jennie feltrelaxed and at peace in his arms until Mark asked her something unexpected.

"Have you thought about having more kids?"
