MJA : Time Is Not Enough

Wish

When Victor kissed Melanie Jayne for the very first time, she was not entirely surprised. She had been anticipating it and she had been wondering if he was ever going to make his move. He had been flirting with her a little too obvious and it was intentional. She just refused to initiate anything because she did not want to rush into things she was not entirely sure of. Human interactions had never been her best skill after all so it was only natural for Melanie Jayne to wait for Victor to make the first move.

He was always looking at her backstage when the cast was getting ready. She does notice it but she never bothered to make any eye contact with him because to her, this was work. When Victor kissed her, she did remind him that they were at work. It wasn't like anyone was going to get fired but Melanie Jayne liked to keep work strictly work. She smiled at him and he whispered to her that he does want to give it another try when they were done. She agreed so they decided to meet later.

Outside the theater, Victor waited for her at the entrance where her limo was parked. Melanie Jayne walked out the front door and smiled at him.

Victor: We are not at work anymore, Miss Anderson. 

MJ: No, we are not.

Victor: (takes Melanie's hand and kisses it) Shall we give it another try? Or would you rather go somewhere a little more.......private?

Melanie Jayne moved closer and kissed him. 

MJ: (smiles) How's that?

Victor: (surprised) That is..... (clears his throat) Not what I expected but......I would very much like to get used to it...... (smiles)

Melanie Jayne then smiled at Victor and kissed him one more time to say goodbye as she entered the limo. Victor stood on the sidewalk flushed and excited as he waved at her. He knew that this was the beginning of something new. He knew he wanted it to work. He knew he wanted to spend his life with her.

It's been about 12 hours since Victor left with Nicole, Leo and Jean. I was missing him already but I tried to keep myself busy to pass the time so I was doing a lot of reading about going into labor and everything in between. I was nervous about giving birth and from the looks and feels of it, I just wanted the baby out at this point because moving around with this load in my tummy wasn't getting any easier for me. I was also constantly feeling like I was having a hard time breathing which was something I wasn't enjoying.

Lorenzo saw me sitting in the lounge area so he decided to sit with me.

Lorenzo: How are you doing? Are you feeling well?

MJ: I am. I'm just having a hard time with my tummy getting so big. (smiles)

Lorenzo: She's healthy, I suppose. (smiles) You will be fine. You are strong.......

MJ: I hope so......I just want her to come out safe...... (glances over at her phone)

Lorenzo: He is probably still in a meeting. He will call you. Don't worry. (holds Melanie's hand)

Lorenzo smiled at me. As he was about to leave, I called out to him.

MJ: ........Dad........

Lorenzo: (surprised) Yes, Melanie Jayne? (sits back down beside Melanie)

MJ: I'm scared....... (looks at Lorenzo) It's gonna be painful........isn't it?

Lorenzo: (smiles) I was told so......but it isn't something you cannot handle, my child. I shall be here with you. Do not worry. (caresses Melanie's face)
