Third Person POV

"Everything is okay, baby," Jennie whispered to her son, "Time to go back to bed." She lifted him up into her arms and kissed his head.

"Where's Chanyeol?" Jimin asked, eyeing the strange woman as his mother carried him into his room.

"He went home. Try to go back to sleep sweetheart," Jennie laid him back down and pulled up the covers.

"I'm not tired," the little boy protested.

"Then just lay there and close your eyes, okay? I'll come in and check on you in a couple of minutes."

Jimin closed his eyes. Jennie stared down at her son with all the love in her heart. She had ruined everything, if only she had told Lisa the truth from the beginning.

"I'm not sleeping," Jimin reminded her when she turned of his light and quietly shut the door behind her.

In the living room, Lisa was sitting on the couch, her head in her hands. "He's mine," she said when she heard Jennie come back into the room. It wasn't a question.

"Yes," Jennie said weakly.

Lisa looked up at her. "And who was that guy?"

"My neighbor, he was babysitting."

Lisa stood up and cautiously approached her. In just a few seconds, a multitude of emotions played across Lisa's face, from disbelief, to anger, to pleading. Then abruptly, her face turned stony, not revealing anything of what she was feeling. She looked so calm, that Jennie wasn't sure if she had imagined what she had just seen on Lisa's face.

Lisa was staring at her like she had never seen her before, "Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Yes," Jennie pleaded, "I was going to tell you, I was just scared."

"What's his name?"

"Jimin. Jimin Manoban."

"Jimin," Lisa tested the name out, and shook her head slightly. "When's his birthday?"

"October 13."

Lisa paused for a moment. "Who—where does he think his other mother is?"

"He hasn't asked about his other mothet yet. I haven't told him anything."

Lisa sat down on the couch again, staring at the blank screen of the little T.V.

"We'll get married."

"What?" Jennie almost fell over with shock. The statement was so abrupt; she hadn't been expecting anything like that at all. "What-what do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I say. In three weeks time, no more, we will get married. You and Jimin will come to live with me."

"B-but, I can't!" Jennie protested, mostly out of shock than anything else. You couldn't just decide to get married, just like that.

"Why not?" Lisa demanded, "I have enough money to take care of you and our son comfortably. He needs his other parent, and I'll be damned if I let any other man or woman be that to him."
