Fingers drummed against the denim-covered lap as she waits for her girlfriend. It had only been ten minutes but Lisa feels like Jennie was taking too long to dress up.

Stretching her arms above her head, she rose from the couch and proceeded to walk to her room, only to stop when an angry looking Ella walked out of the room; lips formed into a frown, brows furrowing, arms crossed above her chest as she walked right straight into Lisa. The sight would have been cute, if only her daughter didn’t look as scary as HellNini.

 
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Lisa crouched down, stopping Ella in her tracks.
 

The little girl huffed from her nose before uncrossing her arms, letting it drop to her side.

 
“Ella no like dress.”

 
Lisa stopped herself from chuckling, not wanting to enrage her daughter further.

 
“What does Ella want, then?”

 
Ella casted her a thoughtful look before dropping her head low. “Ella wants Mickey. Mommy Jen say no Mickey.”

 
Lisa nodded before standing back up. “Do you want to go with Lili?” She extended her hand for Ella to take.
 

Ella contemplated for a while before finally taking hold of Lisa's hand, letting the woman guide her back inside the room.

 
Lisa slowly opened the door and was immediately greeted by the sight of Jennie sitting on the edge of her bed, face buried in her palms. She wasn’t crying, but Lisa knows her girlfriend isn’t happy either.

 
“Nini,” she called out, stopping just beside the dejected girl.

 
“Nini, are you okay?” Her free hand went to rub Jennie's back.

 
Jennie sighed before bringing her hands down, revealing her stressed face to Lisa. The taller girl frowned at the sight.

 
“Hey, what’s wrong?” She repeated the same question she asked Ella just a while ago.

 
“Lisa.. Ella stormed out on me. She’s never done that before.”

 
The little girl hid behind Lisa's legs as soon as her mother mentioned her name.

 
“Why? What happened?” Lisa said, noticing the tight grip on her legs.

“I told her to wear the dress, but she wouldn’t. She wanted her Mickey Mouse shirt but she can't because it's a wedding. And then she just stormed out of the room.”

 
Lisa inwardly chuckled. What did she ever expect? Of course Ella would be as hard-headed as Jennie.

 
She turned to lift Ella in her arms before sitting down beside Jennie.
 

“Well, she’s here now and she wants to say something.” Lisa sat Ella on her lap.

 
The little girl tilted her head towards Ella and looked at the woman questioningly.
 

“Shouldn’t we tell Mommy, sorry?”
 

Jessica looked at her girlfriend and their daughter as the two exchanged looks that she would never understand. She smiles a little, realizing how Ella had become so attached to Lisa at a short time.
 

“Ella is sorry, Mommy.” Ella said, head hung low as her bottom lip quivered.

Familiar hands then took her from Lusa, transferring her to the lap she had grown up with. She moved closer to Jennie's body as she wrapped her short arms around her mother’s body.
