Pesy One Shots

Pesy and their baby

"Are you nervous?" Perrie asks, giving Jesy's hand a little squeeze as they get out of the car.

"What? No. Of course not," Jesy answers, much too quickly for her own liking.

"Jes, it's okay to be nervous. This is a whole new experience for both of us," Perrie says, giving her a smile that Jesy thinks is meant to be reassuring. However, Jesy can see the nervousness in the crooked tilt of Perrie's lips, the worry in her wide blue eyes.

Perrie's always trying to be strong for Jesy, something that Jesy's not sure if she'll ever be used to, but that she's glad for nonetheless. Jesy's always wondered why Perrie feels the need to do that with her, but she's glad for it nonetheless. It was sort of nice to not have to be the strong one all the time.

Speaking of not being strong, Jesy was entirely freaking out. How was she supposed to stay calm in a moment like this? She was about to become a mother, for God's sake!

"What if we're not ready?" She asked, her voice shaking and her hands starting to sweat like crazy.

Perrie stopped in her tracks and turned Jesy around to face her.

"Why do you say that? We've conquered so much together, Jes."

"We have, but nothing could prepare us to become parents!"

After all, raising a puppy together could hardly be compared to raising a child.

"But we both want this, Jesy. We've been waiting for months to get to this point." Perrie sounded scared, like she was afraid Jesy was going to back out of this at the last minute. They had been caught up in paperwork for the last 6 months, all to get to this day where they could finally become parents, and all of a sudden Jesy was jumping ship.

"Pez, you're my wife. We'll get through this together, of course," she said, taking Perrie's hands in hers and hoping Perrie didn't notice how sweaty they were. "I'm just worried, you know?"

"I know, babe. Me too," Perrie admits.

Perrie cradled Jesy's face in her hands, standing so close that Jesy wondered if there actually was any space left between them. She smiled at her and Jesy felt a flood of courage rush through her veins.

She'd always felt like she could do anything if Perrie was there to do it with her.

"But I also know that you, Jessica Louise Nelson Edwards, are going to be the best mother our daughter could ever dream of."

Jesy felt her eyes turn glassy.

Their daughter...

She had never dared to think of the baby in that way until now out of fear that they wouldn't be considered worthy to adopt. That fear had been unfounded, of course, as Jesy and Perrie were almost immediately granted permission to adopt and had chosen a little baby girl.

"And you, Perrie Louise Nelson Edwards, already are," Jesy said, leaning in.

Their sweet words were sealed with a kiss before they smiled at each other and wiped away their tears. The married couple once again linked their hands and walked towards the building where their daughter was waiting for them to come and get her. Jesy held the door open for Perrie, who gave her a small wink, before she walked inside and greeted the man that was waiting for them.

"Isaac!" Perrie shrieked as she hugged the rather tall fellow who didn't seem to be expecting a physical attack like a Perrie-hug can be.

"Hello ladies," Isaac smiled after Perrie released him from her vice-like embrace. "Ready for the big day?"he asked, toothy smile on display.
