Understanding Luca and a case of Heterochromia

February, 2023

It isn't until the middle of February until Lisa starts to feel like normal again. Leo has grown a bit and is a lot healthier, he has Jennie's face and dark brown hair, but Lisa's deep Doe eyes with a cute button nose. Lisa is able to keep up with her troubled six year old now, giving him as much attention as she can, while still taking care of Leo. It works for the most part, but Luca still has his bad days.

On Valentine's Day, Lisa wakes up to the smell of pancakes and opens her eyes to see Jennie standing in their room with breakfast on a tray, with a single rose in a vase.

"Happy Valentine's Day, my love." Jennie says as she puts the tray over Lisa's lap and leans in to kiss her sweetly. Lisa brings her hand up to tangle in the hair at the base of Jennie's neck, keeping their lips locked in the embrace.

"Why aren't you at work?" Lisa asks, her voice scratchy from tiredness. Her hand remains on Jennie's neck and she massages it lightly with the pad of her thumb.

"I canceled my classes for the day so I could spend time with you."

"You're perfect, you know that?" Lisa says against her wife's luscious lips before closing the distance to kiss her. "I have plans for us tonight."

"Oh you do?" Jennie asks with a quirk of her brow.

"Mhm, I'm taking you on a date." Lisa says as she bites into her pancakes.

"What about the kids?"

"Already covered." She says with her mouthful. "Marco is picking them up after school and daycare, then my mom will pick up Leo on her way home from work."

"Speaking of our little miracle baby, he's looking a lot better. He's certainly been growing." Jennie remarks.

"Yeah he has. I started to notice around mid-January."

"Well I wouldn't know because you always have him." Jennie teases with a smirk on her face. Lisa flushes.

"I'm sorry, him being premature just sca-"

"Babe, I was only joking. I know his birth took an emotional toll on you, you don't have to explain yourself." Jennie says, brushing a strand of blonde hair behind Lisa's ear. Lisa smiles sweetly at her wife. "C'mon, eat up hot stuff, I wanna cuddle on the couch and binge watch Law and Order SVU."

Lisa is sitting between Jennie's legs, leaning back against her chest while Leo is asleep on hers.

"God he looks just like Ella, which means he looks just like you." Lisa remarks as she watches her baby son sleep.

"I don't know... I kind of see you more than me. He certainly has your eyes and nose." Jennie points out as her finger bops Lisa's button nose. Lisa playfully tries to bite it, causing her wife to chuckle.

They're on their third episode of Law and Order when Jennie gets a phone call. Her phone vibrates obnoxiously against the coffee table so Lisa quickly reaches forward to grab it and give it to her wife.

"It's the school." Lisa points out with a confused look as she hands Jennie the phone.

"This is Jennie." She greets upon answering the phone.

"Hi Mrs. Manoban-Kim this is Principal Cartwig from Oddatalier Elementary School. I'm calling because your son Luca was in a fight." Jennie shoots up from her position, knocking Lisa and the baby slightly.

"He was?" She asks, looking to Lisa who is still wearing a confused, but also equally worried, expression.

"Yes, we would like it if you could come down so we can discuss this with you."
