"Is it Really Just Acting?": A Jortini Fanfiction

Hospital

(Stephie wakes up in a hospital room)

Stephie: W-what happened?

(Jorge is holding her hand and smiling)

Jorge: I'm so happy you're awake love...

Stephie: I don't remember much...

Jorge: What can't you remember?

Stephie: everything...

Jorge: What was the last thing you remember?

Stephie: um... Me being mad at you because you brought a dog into the house.

Jorge: Ok good. At least your memory is slightly well.

Stephie: Weren't we at a cast party?

Jorge: Yes we were. You fainted in a hallway and I was so worried...

Stephie: Aw... It's nice to know you care about me.

Jorge: Why wouldn't I care about you love?

(Stephie remembers that Jorge was talking to Tini and frowns)

Stephie: Never mind... Thank you for caring.

(Doctor comes in)

Doctor: Hello! It's nice to see you have woken up!

Stephie: Hi doctor... Am I going to be okay?

Doctor: Yes Stephie, you are well. Just make sure that you sit down and rest, and don't try to go out as much. Drink water and eat regularly. You should be just fine.

Stephie: Thanks so much!

Doctor: you're Welcome.

Jorge: Doctor... How is the baby?

Doctor: We are almost certain that the baby is fine. No worries you two, ok?

Jorge: Ok... Thank you doctor...

(Doctor nods and leaves the room)

(Jorge and Stephie spend more time talking in the room)

Jorge: Some visitors will come in an hour...

Stephie: Who?

Jorge: Probably Lodo, Ruggero, Diego, Clari, Tini...

(Stephie slightly frowns at the last name)

Stephie: Okay... Anyways, can I ask? How long have I been here??

Jorge: A day... We are gonna come home tonight.

Stephie: Okay good...

Jorge: Yeah... Me and Joy missed you at home.

Stephie: Who's Joy?

Jorge: Oh I forgot, I named the puppy Joy. Cute name, huh?

Stephie: Uh... Yeah totally...

Stephie (thinking): Ew dogs...

Jorge: I named it after what you said the first night I found Joy!

Stephie: Oh yeah, I called her a "Bundle of Joy"

Jorge: Exactly!

Stephie (thinking in her head): I was just being sarcastic... I hate that little pipsqueak...

Stephie: Oh by the way, I thought it was a boy??

Jorge: No Tini told me it was a girl.

Stephie: Did she really? (she says slightly annoyed)

Jorge: Yeah! Turns out she's a dog expert!

Stephie: wow so amazing... (Sarcastically)

Jorge: Yeah

Stephie: So you like her better than me because she likes dogs and I don't??

Jorge: Wait, What?!

(The door opens and Tini comes in with a bouquet of pink flowers)

Tini: Stephie! Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!

(She gives Stephie's flowers to Jorge to hold as she goes over to hug Stephie)

Stephie: Wow... Martina... Didn't expect to see you... Again...

Tini: I was hoping you'd be okay! Oh! By the way, How's the baby?!

Stephie: She's okay!

Tini: wow that's amazing!

(Jorge stares at Stephie with a weird look)

Jorge: ...She?

Tini: Oh! Wow Stephie! You have already got the gender checked?? But aren't you only a few weeks pregnant?

Jorge: That's impossible...

(Tini frowns and looks at Jorge who looks extremely confused)

Stephie (gulps) : I... can explain...
