MMH(Jenlisa Adaptation)

Part 19

Jennie was no stranger to sleepovers when it came to Lisa. In fact, Lisa was the only person she had shared a bed with in the last few years. Usually Jennie would find herself wrapped in the blonde's hold with Lisa nuzzling her cheek in between Jennie's shoulder blades as she unconsciously hugged the brunette tightly from behind. This morning, however, she wasn't trapped in Lisa's pseudo koala hug. In fact, there was a comfortable weight nestled into her side as a mop of hair tickled under her chin. It wasn't Lisa since the blonde's shampoo hadn't wafted up to her nose like it had done in the past, unless Lisa had started to use L'Oreal Kids. The slight gruff snoring coming from beside her had her weeding out that it must have been Wo Jin who was pressed against her, and without even opening her eyes, Jennie imagined what they all looked like nestled together in bed. A smile graced her lips as she settled deeper into the bed. She would have drifted back to sleep if it weren't for the tugging on the blanket wrapped comfortably around her, but despite the hard pulls, there was resistance keeping Jennie nice and warm.

She popped an eye open to find Wo Jin on top of the comforter, though how he managed to accomplish that was a mystery, and Lisa, sitting up trying desperately to reclaim the blanket that was lost to her because of Jennie and Wo Jin. The blonde froze sheepishly, the comforter clenched in her fists and pulled up to her chest before motioning toward Wo Jin who had managed to sprawl himself spread eagle on the bed. "Told you he was a kicker," Lisa commented meekly in greeting.

"At least I didn't get the brunt of it." Jennie's voice was low and hoarse, still laced with sleep. She tucked Wo Jin's legs off of Lisa and settled him in between them before glancing back at the younger woman. "Did you manage to get enough sleep?"

The blonde chuckled with a nod. "I'll live." Averting her eyes for a moment, Lisa laid back down and inched her hand underneath the pillows that lay under their heads. It wasn't until Jennie felt fingers dancing with her own did she realize the blonde's intention. "Morning," Lisa whispered.

"Good morning." Jennie returned that same shy smile but accompanied with a squeeze to Lisa's palm. Her thumb was just beginning its habitual duty of stroking Lisa's hand before the blonde had yanked her hand away and pushed herself up on her arms suddenly. Jennie followed suit, terrified she had done something that had caused the panic in Lisa's eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Shit," Lisa mumbled, racing out of bed. "Wo Jin goes back to school today."

Jennie let out a sigh of relief but caught sight of the alarm clock on her bedside table just the same. It was half past six, and quite frankly, she couldn't remember a time when Lisa woke earlier than eight. "Does his school generally start earlier in the new year?" Jennie asked genuinely confused about Lisa's rush.

Lisa shook her head. "I promised him pancakes today, and I didn't get to make his lunch last night, and he needs to get in the shower."

Jennie took a moment just watching Lisa as she hurried to change out of her sleepwear and back into her clothes. Her lips twitched upwards and her heart swelled as the blonde leaned over her son and gently coaxed him from his sleep, or tried to at least. Many times she had witnessed the Manobal family morning routine, but it had generally consisted of cereal in front of the television before Wo Jin and Lisa maneuvered around each other in their apartment in their haste to grab his last minute belongings. When Lisa had announced the night before that she had gotten a new job, she knew for a fact that Wo Jin had approved in that change of lifestyle, but imagining Lisa waking up early just to prepare her son a hearty breakfast and making up for lost time was a sight she could see herself waking up to every morning.

Jennie leaned over, mindful of Wo Jin who still remained dead to the world despite Lisa's best efforts, and placed a warm hand on Lisa's bare arm. "Perhaps you could have breakfast here so you're not rushing when you get home?" Jennie asked tentatively before she enticed further. "I'm sure I have the ingredients for pancakes."
