Jisoo's Pregnancy - Part II

Jisoo found herself swooning again. Jennie's heart was so big, and pure, capable of such immense love. Their daughter hadn't even arrived yet, and Jennie was already head over heels for her. It was this kind of passion and loyalty that had become even more prominent during Jisoo's pregnancy, making her fall even deeper in love, if that were possible.

"It's strange to think...She's right here." Jisoo took Jennie's hands, resting them atop her baby bump. "And she's even smaller than that." Jisoo's voice was dreamy. "And she's going to grow, and grow, and become a little Jennie..."

"I can't wait to hold her." Jennie gushed, overwhelmed with emotion.

I can't wait to see you holding her.

Jisoo wiped a stray tear from Jennie's cheek, thrilled to be giving Jennie the ultimate gift, of life, of love.

Lisa and Irene were draped around Jisoo on Irene's couch back at her place, the two of them poking and prodding, as any best friend in their situation would.

"I'm craving meat. Like, filet mignon." Jisoo groaned.

"Yeah, we know. You said that, like, eight billion times." Lisa snorted, resuming her work of morphing Jisoo and Jennie's faces on her phone on some cheap app, trying to imagine what their baby would look like. "I have some cheez-its in my car, though."

Irene grimaced, feeling responsible as the host. "I could tell Bogs to pick some up on their way home."

Jisoo waved her off. "I don't want to cook. And Jennie's been going out of her way to dote on me. She needs a break."

"Speaking of which." Irene cocked a brow. "So...you know how Bogs and I are heavily considering getting pregnant-"

"Ugh, that sentence." Lisa wrinkled her nose in distaste. "You're getting pregnant, not the both of you as a collective couple."

"-Are you?" Jisoo grinned, eyes alight at the new information.

"Yeah." Irene rubbed her neck. "But...we had some concerns..." She drawled awkwardly. "Specifically, like..."

"She wants to know if you two are having sex." Lisa rolled her eyes. "Newsflash, Irene, they are."

Jisoo smirked. "Is that what this is about, Irene?"

Irene turned a shade of red. "I read that some couples just completely...lose their drive, and-"

"Only for a while." Jisoo amended gently.

"So you mean-"

"It comes back."

"And you've-"

Jisoo's smirk only grew. "Mhmm."

"And it was-"

"Good, Irene." Jisoo snorted. "I didn't think you were the shy type."

"Yeah, but give her a break, you've got a bun in the oven!" Lisa, ever blunt, was straight to the point.

"Were you nervous?" Irene asked sympathetically, well aware of Jisoo's struggles with her body issues, in the past.

"No." Jisoo tsked softly, voice dreamy and far away. "I mean, it's Jennie."

"Oh, right, but that's not fair, she's obsessed with you." Irene grumbled.

"Like Bogum isn't with you?" Lisa teased. "You guys are the mushiest couples I know."

"I heard you call Chaeyoung snuggle bunny when you were drunk last week." Jisoo fired back, and Lisa paled.

"That's news." Irene grinned, delighted to hear that tidbit.
