Eyes Don't Lie ✩ Jenna Ortega (G!P)

CXXVIII

| Y/N's POV |
A/N: I feel like utter shit bruh I'm sick asf

"Guess where mama is? Huh?" I smiled as I playfully tugged at Juno's legs, making her giggle. "Mama is working for a very popular show right now. And one day, when you're old enough, you'll get to see all the magic."

She just babbled, tossing the toy in her hand behind her onto the pillow. I giggled, buttoning up her purple onesie. I threw her dirty diaper away and washed my hands before popping the fridge open to take a look at what I need to make for dinner.

I closed the fridge and turned back around, seeing Juno sitting up all on her own on the bed. "Juno!" I immediately cheered, rushing to her side. "You're sitting up! All by yourself! Oh my god!"

I heard the keypad unlock, meaning Jenna was home. She pushed the door open and before she could even get a word out, I was screaming to her. "Baby! Look, look!"

Jenna dropped her bag and gasped when she saw Juno. "She's sitting? Wait- all by herself?"

"Yes!"

Jenna crouched down, brushing back the light hairs on Juno's head. "Good job, baby girl! You're so smart."

"I was in the kitchen and turned around to see her sitting up all by herself." I smiled at our daughter. Juno threw her hands up, giggling uncontrollably as she fell back on the bed with a small thump.

"You're so fucking adorable, you know that?" Jenna smiled, lifting Juno in the air. "I love you, my little girl."

Juno's eyes always lit up when she saw either one of us. It was sort of a silent way of known that our daughter truly loved us just as much we loved her.

"Hey, by the way, her birthday is coming up. She's turning one year's old and we still haven't decided what to do yet." We all sat back against the bed, Juno crawling over our laps with her pacifier in her mouth.

"I was thinking about it not being a huge thing. She's just a baby and I don't want the attention to be taken away from her or for it to be too overwhelming. So, what if it was a small gathering with close friends and family?" Jenna suggested with a soft sigh.

"Yes, I agree." Suddenly an idea popped into my head. "What if we have it at my mom's house? I'm sure she'd love to see Juno and us again."

"Oh yeah!" Jenna immediately grabbed her phone. "I love your mom, I'll ask her."

I playfully rolled my eyes. Yet - deep down - I was incredibly happy that they had a bond. "I'll be back. I'm gonna use the bathroom." I set Juno down in Jenna's lap before sliding off the bed and walking towards the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror, seeing myself for the first time in a while. I stared long and hard. I believe this could be the first time that there wasn't a negative thought about my body flowing through my head.

Genuinely, if I had to be honest, I think it was because of Jenna.

Though when I turned, I suddenly got a nauseous feeling in my stomach. God, I hope I'm not sick. Then I couldn't be around Juno since her immune system hasn't fully developed yet and her getting sick would not be good.

I kneeled before the toilet, prepared to puke my guts up. Which did happen but fortunately, I didn't eat much other than avocado toast this morning so I was throwing up for at least a couple minutes.

I wiped my mouth, flushing the toilet and standing on weak knees. My skin suddenly felt pale and my throat went dry.

Well, shit, maybe I am sick.

I quickly brushed my teeth, brushing away the disgusting, lingering smell and taste of my own vomit. I left the bathroom, hovering near the door. Jenna looked at me, taking notice of my body language and standing up from the bed.

"What's wrong, baby?" Jenna asked gently, setting her hands on my hips.

"I think I'm sick." I sniffled sadly. "I can't be around Juno."

Jenna tsked, kissing my forehead. She pulled away with slight concern, reaching up and pressing the back of her hand to my forehead. "Jesus, you're burning up, babe. Okay, yeah, you're sick. Uh- let me call Tim, ask him to give me a week for a break so you can rest and I can take care of Juno."

"You're the best, babe." I smiled gratefully and tiredly. "You think Tim will let you?"

"Hey, just between us, he loves me with all his heart." Jenna smiled, whispering those words. "Plus, he loves the smile that you bring to my face so I'm sure he'll be more than gracious to give me a week off so you can feel better, my love."

With that, Jenna held Juno in her arms, walking with me down the hall of the hotel. I kept my distance a little, a mask covering half of my face. We knocked on Emma's door. She opened it immediately and looked between us.

"What's wrong?" She asked curiously.

"Y/N is sick and can't be around Juno. It's too much of a risk. Tim gave me a week off work so I can take care of our daughter. Would you please help Y/N get better?" Jenna pleaded with desperate eyes.

Emma didn't even need to think. She rolled her eyes with a smile. "Jenna, you don't even need to think. I love Y/N with all my heart. Of course I'll help her. Come on, sweetie." She reached for me, pulling me inside her warm room.

"Thank you, Em. You are a life saver." Jenna thanked and blew me a million kisses before leaving. Emma shut the door, turning to me.

"Okay, so, you can take the extra bed that I have. I'll make you some tea and order you some chicken noodle soup. Sound good?"

I couldn't help but feel immensely grateful. "Thank you so much, Emma. You're the best."
