Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 511: Going To The Airport.

Lucas and Jen had gone to meet with the wedding planners on Sunday but promised that more details on the wedding will be communicated when their mothers arrived. However, they managed to settle the general details that they could handle and spent the rest of the day having fun.

Monday came too quickly for Lucas. He woke up early in the morning while Jen was still asleep and washed up before making breakfast. After having breakfast alone, he went to get dressed and walked towards the bed on his way out. 

They were all over the place the previous day and even fooled around for a while once they got back home so he understood Jen's fatigue. Besides, she was on her holidays, so he felt that she should rest more since she was tired.

Jen who was deeply asleep was woken up by the feel of cool fingers on her cheek. She squinted at Lucas tiredly and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Morning," she mumbled and tried to sit up but was pushed back down by Lucas.

"Don't get up. You should sleep some more," Lucas said as he brushed her hair away from her face. 

"Mmh, Have you had breakfast?" Jen asked as she leaned into his palm.

"I've already eaten. I've left some for you in the kitchen. Warm it before you eat it," Lucas said while inwardly hoping she won't be nauseous by then. 

"That's sweet," Jen said and smiled at him. Lucas leaned over and pecked her lips before smoothening her hair again and getting up.

"Call me if you need anything. Also our mothers are coming today so be prepared," Lucas said and bent over to kiss her forehead before saying good bye and leaving for work.

Jen closed her eyes once more after she heard the door close and fell asleep one more. When she woke up again two hours had passed and she wasn't as fatigued as she was before. She stretched her body before rolling in the large bed tangling herself in the bed sheets.

She could smell Lucas's scent in his pillow and she found herself taking a large whiff of it before she caught herself doing something so silly. She laughed at herself as she decisively got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

She took a quick shower and went to get dressed in the closet. She sat in front of her vanity and took her time to braid her long hair and even went the extra mile to put on some light makeup.

She left her room and made a beeline for the kitchen. She was starving and she couldn't wait to eat. She made herself a cup of milk tea and opened the fridge. 

Lucas was careful not to make something that would trigger her morning sickness so he made her two sandwiches that were quite thick. He did not put in any sauces and left it for her to add. She took out the plate that had the carefully wrapped sandwiches and the bowl of fruits he prepared and went to sit in front of the tv to distract herself as she ate.

Thirty minutes into her meal, her phone started ringing. When she checked to see who it was, she could not stop the smile that appeared on her face. She quickly swallowed her food before picking up the call.

"Hello?" Jen said after putting the phone on her ear and turning down the volume.

"Mmmh, awake?" Lucas asked hoping he did not wake her up.

"I'm having breakfast," Jen said and popped a grape into her mouth.

"Oh, I thought I woke you up," Lucas said with a small smile as he leaned against the back of his seat.

"No, I've been awake for a while now," Jen answered with a sweet smile.

"Mmmh, our mom's will get here at noon. Do you want to go pick them up or will you see them for dinner later. They wanted to go see the wedding planner today too," Lucas added at the end in case Jen was still too tired and wanted to rest at home.

"I'll go pick them up later, I'll be alright," Jen said after listening to him. She wasn't doing anything at home anyway, she might as well go.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I want to make a reservation," Lucas said and Jen seriously thought of it.

"Chicken," Jen said after some serious thought and Lucas made a sound of acknowledgement. After some more small talk, the call finally ended and Jen continued to eat her breakfast. It was a little past ten once she finished eating and she had about an hour to get ready.

She quickly washed the dishes and went to change her clothes as she was retouching her makeup, she received a message from Lucas to not forget to take her medication which she had completely forgotten about.

She took her medication and quickly finished doing her makeup when she got a call from the driver to let her know that he had already arrived at the hotel.

Jen picked up her things and shoved them in her purse, but on her shoes and wore her sunglasses before leaving the suite. 

The drive to the airport was a bit long but she was mostly distracted because Alex was telling her about how they had all gone to meet their grandparents and how dramatic the whole event was. Jen silently listened to her sister while wondering what would have happened if this wedding took place while she had yet to reconcile with her mother.

The two of them chatted for about thirty minutes before Alex cut the call because she had to go back to work. By this time, she had already arrived at the airport and chose to wait for a bit in the car because there were still twenty minutes left until the flight arrived.

As she got lost in her own thoughts, she suddenly realised that she was going to have to hide her pregnancy from these two women who have had ample experience with it. She knew that she would have to talk to Lucas so that they could make a plan on how they were going to deal with it. As her thoughts went in this direction, she could already feel that this week is going to be stressful for the both of them.
