Plus One

六 ㅣ accouchement ecstasy.

The day that they've been waiting for has come without them really realizing it.

It is one normal afternoon for both of them. Lisa's doing the laundry while Jennie's walking around the house and just pacing back and forth, holding her back and belly, waiting for her wife to finish doing the chores so they can finally cuddle and watch movies.

It is normal, not until Jennie feels a contraction in her stomach. She stops midway in their living room and frowns, thinking that she's just imagining it. Not until she feels it again, but this time, more painful. She gasps and automatically holds her due belly bump. She calms herself down when she feels the trickling liquid on her thighs, going down to her legs until she can feel it all over their carpeted floor.

Jennie closes her eyes and breathes through her mouth. It's not really that painful yet, so she doesn't have the need to panic. She calmly collects herself and carefully steps out of the wet patch that pools at her swollen feet.

She's actually due this week, but she guesses her baby girl wants to finally come out earlier than they expected. It's three days 'til her due date, but Lisa says that it's normal to give birth before and after the due date, that's why they've been ready for this to happen no matter when the time comes.

Jennie leisurely walked towards the back of their house where Lisa was doing the laundry. She's holding her big belly and padding like a penguin with how heavy her body feels. Ever since she started her last trimester, her body has grown even more plumpier and bigger. She has gained so much weight, but her alpha reassures her that it's fine and she's gaining just right for her and the baby.

When she reaches the backdoor, the door is wide open, and she sees her wife instantly. Lisa is busy hanging their clothes. Jennie had told her earlier to just bring it to the laundry, but Lisa insisted on washing it by herself, saying that she wants to do something and move her limbs. Ever since Lisa stopped going to work because of maternity leave, she never really let Jennie do any chores.

"Honey," Jennie calls.

Lisa turned around, a warm smile lighting up her face. "Hi, baby. I told you to wait for me in the living room. I'm almost done here."

"My water broke," Jennie casually says, watching Lisa's beaming face turn into something that makes her laugh so hard that her belly contracts again. "Lisa! I said my damn water broke!" she repeated, trying to stop laughing because the sight of her alpha's utterly shocked and humorous face was just too much.

For a moment, Lisa's smile remained frozen on her face, not fully comprehending the gravity of Jennie's words. Then, like a slow-motion scene from a movie, the omega watched as Lisa's expression shifted from relaxed to completely dumbfounded. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers, and her jaw dropped. The laundry Lisa had been holding slipped from her hands and fluttered to the ground, forgotten; a testament to her sudden panic.

Jennie dramatically sighs and shakes her head. She had expected this scenario already. No matter how many times her alpha has assured her that she will never malfunction or panic when this time comes, Jennie never really believed her.

The omega sighs once again and turns her back to Lisa. Her alpha will come around, maybe in three seconds or three steps. Jennie counts in her head and smiles when before her third step, she hears Lisa's loud shrill and the next thing she knows is the younger is carefully tending and helping her walk already.

"I thought you'd take too long to recover,"

"No, I'm fine. I'm really fine, lovely. I can do this, I've handled loads of pregnant omegas, I've helped them give birth. What's the difference with my own wife?"
