One Last Chance

Eggxpectation

In the middle of May, Charlotte's work had continued on smoothly as she found another contact through her own connection. Pre-production had started for her next line of skincare and she was preoccupied with meetings with engineers and investors.

Meanwhile, Engfa hit her peak season once more in managing the new auditions for the next batch. She was also working on producing a new album as her last one was a hit. Coming up in July, she will start filming for another movie. Life was busy, everyday was filled but she tried to remain calm and not over stress.

Their last checkup at the hospital was a success and they were given the green light to proceed with the next steps, which was ovarian stimulation for Engfa.

She had a long talk with Boss regarding this treatment that would take 2 weeks monthly until they succeed, she couldn’t have too heavy of a workload. He was skeptical as he didn't think she would be involved in the pregnancy process since she once said to him that she didn't wanna be pregnant. Still, she insisted on being a part of the journey and he had to give in.

Today, Engfa reached home early so she could take the time to cook dinner for her wife. She hoped to make more home cooked meals for Charlotte throughout her pregnancy. Mostly, she was nervous and cooking helped to calm her down.

Two arms suddenly circled around her waist while Engfa was stirring absent-mindedly.

“Gyaah!!” Engfa yelled in surprise and heard naughty giggles by her ear. “Ai Lottt!”

“Beeeeee, what are you cooking?” Charlotte's sweet voice called out from behind, followed by an aggressive cheek kiss.

“White tomyam, some green vegetables and papaya salad.” Engfa grinned as she turned her head to kiss her wife.

“Sounds yummy.” Charlotte smiled and rubbed her hand on her wife's stomach. Just thinking about their first time later made her excited and nervous, yet endlessly grateful that Engfa chose to be the egg donor.

During dinner, they tried to distract themselves by talking about work. It was important for them to know each other's schedule as work played a huge part in their lives, it also made them feel closer and reassured.

Finally the dishes were done and Charlotte's hands were washed thoroughly twice. They stood in front of their dining table where a phone was recording themselves. But it wasn't live, just their personal collection to capture their memories.

“Hi, today marks our first shot for Mae Fa na. Fa fa, are you nervous?” Charlotte spoke to the phone with a nervous smile.

Engfa nodded at the camera with a similar expression, then she slowly lifted her pajama tops to reveal her toned abs. “I must have had countless injections in my life for beauty purposes but this is the scariest and also the most important one to date.”

“Okay, ready?” Charlotte kneeled before Engfa and looked up into her eyes.

Engfa nodded while biting her lips.

Charlotte looked at those beautiful abs and gently wiped an alcohol swipe a few inches beside her wife's bellybutton. She waited a while for it to dry, then pinched the skin.

“I can do this.” Charlotte mumbled as she inserted the needle with utmost concentration and steady hands. She slowly pushed the plunger until the medication was injected into her wife, held for a few seconds then took it out. She quickly looked up and asked, “Did it hurt, bee?”

Engfa shook her head and got a little teary as she watched Charlotte kiss above her belly reverently before getting up to kiss her with a hug. She let go of her top to return the hug, both of them basking in the moment.
