Stupid Choices and Second Chances

Chapter 53

The morning of the wedding, Jennie woke up first, spooned into Lisa, arms wrapped around Jennie, including a leg for good measure. She was always irritated when Kai would do this, but she didn't mind being trapped anymore. Jennie didn't care that she couldn't move, because she didn't want to. She was perfectly content staying wrapped up in here forever, closing her eyes, as she stayed relaxed in Lisa's embrace. The feel of warm breath on her neck lulled her back to sleep for another hour or so. The next time she woke up, she was facing Lisa as she stared at her, brushing stray strands of her hair away from her face.

"Good morning baby," Lisa whispered with a grin.

Jennie giggled softly. "Goodmorning sweetheart."

Lisa leaned in and kissed the tip of her nose. "Did you sleep well?"

"I'm not sure I had a choice with the hold you had on me," Jennie teased, brushing her lips against Lisa's. "I love you."

"I love you," Lisa replied, sighing contently as she moved closer to Jennie, draping an arm around her. "Your mom cleared the morning schedule by the way - I think she feels like she's to blame for your exhaustion."

Jennie bit her lip slightly, contemplating if she should tell her. On one hand, if she told Lisa, she didn't know if she could keep her mouth shut because she wasn't ready for anyone to know. She also wanted to go see a doctor again just to be completely sure she was pregnant. She knows they talked about it, but she didn't realize that she would immediately get pregnant, and while she was excited, she was also slightly scared.

"Babe?" Lisa said, looking at her peculiarly.

She shook her head for a moment, smiling as she snapped out of her thoughts. "Sorry - I was just thinking."

Lisa pressed a kiss to her forehead. "About?"

Jennie's nose scrunched up as she decided which route to take. "Well," she finally said, sitting up in bed as she adjusted one of the straps of her chemise. "I have to tell you something. But you can't freak out, and more importantly - you literally cannot tell a soul. Really, you cannot tell anyone just yet."

Following her lead, Lisa sat up in bed, crossing her legs. "You're kind of scaring me a bit babe."

"It's not scary," Jennie said quickly. "I mean, I guess it is, but it isn't."

Lisa stared at her, unsure how to read her face. "I don't follow."

Jennie rolled her eyes and laughed. "Remember when I came to your office a month ago and told you that we can start looking for a donor?"

"Hey babe," Lisa looked up from her laptop at the sound of the door shutting. "What brings you home early?"

"Slow day at the office, the kids are busy practicing for their next recital, are you busy?"

"Not really, just checking some emails. Eun-woo was playing here earlier and when I suggested that it's time for a nap, he looked so devastated. That pouty face you taught him can get me to do just about anything." Lisa chuckled as Jennie put on the face. "Yep, that's the one I fell in love with. I can only imagine if we have a mini Jennie again. I'm pretty sure I'd be unemployed between the three of you. I'd never want to leave home." This made Jennie smile and play with Lisa's fingers that were intertwined with hers.

"Oh yeah? When were you thinking about having this mine-me?" They had talked about having more kids but hadn't talked about when.

"I'm pretty sure if I had the power to impregnate you, it would have happened months ago."

"Lisa!" Jennie lifted her head and swatted Lisa's arm. "But I did visit my doctor earlier today."

"Doctor? Why? Are you sick?"
