Back at the apartment, Jenna was still in dreamland.
Sophia was bustling around the kitchen, while Sherilyn, with a bag of tests in hand, made her way to the bathroom to conduct an all-important check.
She had purchased three different brands, each reputed for their accuracy.
After a nerve-wracking fifteen minutes, the results were unanimous... Within the tiny windows of each test, two lines appeared.
Sherilyn bit her lip, her heart racing a tad faster.
Given the false alarm last time, she was hesitant to revel in joy just yet.
Gently placing her hands on her abdomen, she whispered a silent prayer: "May the heavens bless us, Jenna's future little brother or sister, may you already be nestled within Mommy's womb..."
As she opened the bathroom door, Jenna's voice filled the air.
"Mommy? Where's Mommy?"
Sherilyn stepped out with a smile. "Jenna, Mommy's here."
"Mommy!" Jenna, clutching a red Minnie Mouse plush, her hair a tousled mess, ran towards her.
Bending down, Sherilyn scooped her up and planted a big kiss on her cheek.
"Shall Mommy do your hair?"
"Yes, please!" Jenna giggled, "I want pigtail buns!"
"You got it."
Sherilyn carried Jenna back to her room, placed her on a chair, and began combing her hair, intending to tie it into two pigtail buns, much like a little warrior goddess.
"Mommy?"
Hugging her Minnie Mouse, Jenna suddenly asked, "Are Mommy and Daddy not together anymore?"
Sherilyn paused, surprised and confused, "Why would you ask that, Jenna?"
She was so young; did she even grasp the meaning of her question?
"Daddy never comes to our house." Jenna tilted her head, her little brows furrowed.
"Dawn said... that means Mommy and Daddy are separated."
Dawn was Jenna's playmate from the next block, a kind little boy who looked out for her.
The concept of 'Daddy' was something he had introduced to Jenna.
