Two weeks later

Two weeks passed by in the blink of an eye. Bridget continued to go to work after the embryo transfer even after Franky tried to convince her not to. But Bridget told the younger woman that it was okay as her job is to listen to her patients and talk to them, nothing tedious.

Bridget was supposed to do a home pregnancy test two days ago but they decided not to, as they were afraid of a negative result. They'd rather wait for the two weeks to be up before doing the pregnancy test. Besides, doing it at the clinic is more accurate.

Bridget has had a few spotting after the transfer and they were told that it's a good sign and nothing to be worried about. Other than that, Bridget did what she was told - rest well, do light exercises, no alcohols, not carrying anything heavier than 10 lbs, maintain a well balanced diet.

"Congratulations, Ms Westfall, your results showed up positive. You're pregnant." Ms Williams smiled cheerily, Franky and Bridget look at each other with joy. Both women are smiling from ear to ear and their cheekbones are gonna crack from too much smiling.

Ms Williams gave them more instructions as Bridget's pregnancy is still at the early stage. They must be twice as careful. Ms Williams also set them up for another appointment three weeks later for an ultrasound. The additional eggs retrieved from Franky are going to be frozen for later use if they wish.

After leaving the clinic, they passed by the same baby shop as always. Franky stood rooted to the ground again, this time she can't stop smiling. "Do you want our kid to be a boy or a girl?" Franky wrap her arm around Bridget's shoulders.

"I've no preference. What about you?"

"I'd prefer a boy. So he can protect you when he grows up." Franky smiles, and Bridget was genuinely touched, she was touched by Franky's choice of words. Instead of us, it was you.

They left for their car and drove home so Bridget can rest for the rest of the day.

The next morning came around, Bridget is looking for her car keys frantically while Franky is eating her cereal with milk at the dining table.

"What are you looking for, Gidget?"

"Car key. Did you see it?"

Bridget heard keys jingling, she looked up and saw Franky holding it. "Why did you hide my key?"

"Not hiding. I'm keeping it. I'm driving you to work from today until you take leave from work."

"Don't be silly. C'mon, give me my key." Bridget walk over to the younger woman but Franky stood up and walk to the kitchen. After putting the dish in the sink, she drag Bridget out of the house.

Franky made sure Bridget got into the car before getting in the driver's seat. She is so sure that Bridget is gonna complain that Franky's being overly careful.

Franky pull over outside the clinic, "Do you need me to see you in?"

"Nope, go to work baby." Bridget place a kiss on Franky's lips before getting out of the car. Being concern still, Franky watched Bridget until she got out of her sight before driving to her workplace.

That continued for the next two weeks, Franky could tell that ever since Bridget is pregnant, she's been having mood swings and sometimes she even flared up at Franky. The younger woman would always give in to Bridget.

Three months later

Three months into the pregnancy, Bridget's weird cravings and mood swings worsen and sometimes it drove Franky crazy. But she couldn't blame Bridget as being pregnant must be tired and since it's changing Bridget's body, it must be hard. Bridget feels Franky almost all the time but tries her best to relax and takes some breathing exercise occasionally.

Bridget also took leave from her work to focus on her pregnancy. It wasn't needed, but she chose it. Her mood swings always almost got the best of her, so it's best if Bridget take official leave and return after she gives birth and the maternity leave.

[Bridget: Can you pick me up from the supermarket later?]

[Franky: Yeah, see ya later. I'm almost done.]

[Franky: Be careful Gidget]

As Bridget is on her way to the supermarket, she passed by a cafe and saw someone familiar. She followed the familiar person's line of vision and wasn't happy with what she saw next. Bridget controls her anger and continue her way to the supermarket.

"Hey Franky, what's up? Why'd you call?" The brown woman said, but Franky just hugs her tightly.

"I miss ya, Dors. How's everything?"

"Great. How are ya? You look happier." Doreen continue to eye Franky up and down. Franky hadn't meet up with Doreen as she was busy with her own messy life up until her parole period is over and having a baby with Bridget.

"Gidget and I are having a baby. She's the carrier, I'm the egg donor."

Doreen gasp, obviously can't contain her excitement and happiness for Franky. "That's awesome, Franks!"

"Yeah, totally. I just wanna ask and know a few things. Gidget has been so sensitive lately and her mood swings got worse. I don't know what to do sometimes, Dors. You've been through this, I reckon you know how it feels and what makes you feel better?"

"You just got to be strong and be there for her Franky. She needs you the most especially when she's almost halfway through the pregnancy. Give in to her as much as you can. Try to give her something to do while you're out so she has something to occupy her mind. I know it's hard because you're a sexual person, but don't go have sex with other woman outside. 'Kay?" Doreen warn Franky just like how a mom would.

"Course I won't! I'm a different woman, Dors. God." Franky blows a few strands of hair out of her face and the both laughed so loud a few people look at them in annoyance.

That is until Franky heard her name being called by a familiar voice. She was going to pretend she didn't hear it, but the voice was being heard again. Franky turn around and at the corner of the cafe was once her love interest.

"I'll go over, give me a minute, hey?" Franky takes her cup of iced water with her over to the table at the corner. Doreen look at the direction that Franky went. Both not knowing that Bridget is outside the cafe.

"Erica, hey." Franky sat down, and suddenly all the memories came flushing down Franky's mind.

"It's been long, Franky. How are you?" Erica smiled, and Franky suddenly remember how much she used to love that smile.

"Yeah. I'm good. Where's your, uh, fiancé?"

"We separated. A year after I resigned from Wentworth. Still single?"

"Nuh. I've got a girl. She's pregnant with our baby." Franky could've swore she saw a tinge of disappointment in Erica's eyes.

"Congrats. I've got to go, let's talk soon?" Erica left a card with her phone number on it. Franky only smiled.

"Sure. See you."

Franky return to her table and Doreen gave her eyes that full of suspicion. "You don't have feelings for Ms Davidson anymore, do you?"

"Dors! Of course I don't! It's just those memories with her, it's crazy. I don't have any feelings for her, okay?"

"It better be this way. I need to go home, Nash and Josh are waiting for me. You know where to find me if you're troubled, eh? Also, pay Boomer a visit soon, she must be missing you heaps."

"Yeah, sure. After Gidget gives birth." Franky walks out of the cafe with Doreen and then the two women part ways.

Franky pulled over outside the supermarket where Bridget is standing with grocery bags on the floor by her side.

"Get in Gidge, I'll put them in the car." Franky opens the car door for Bridget and the older woman got in without a word.

Once Franky got back into the car, she felt tension rising in the air. She look at Bridget, and knew that either she's troubled, or Franky did something wrong.

Franky decided not to say a word because she felt like as soon as she speaks, steam will start coming out from Bridget's head. She's pretty sure she didn't something wrong to be able to make Bridget not look at her.

Back home, Bridget head for the couch straight. She hold her head and closed her eyes for a moment before Franky's voice brought her back.

"You okay?" Franky sits next to Bridget.

"Before you pick me up were you at work?"

"Yeah. Was handling a case. What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you're not at a cafe with a pretty blonde?" Bridget moved away from Franky, obviously didn't like the idea that Franky lied to her.

"Shit... You saw?" Franky keeps moving closer and Bridget keeps moving away. "Look, Gidget. I didn't want to tell ya because I don't want you to overthink. There's nothing between us, I swear."

"And you think lying to me would help? Who is she?"

Franky paused for a moment, she figured there's no point hiding from Bridget anymore. "Her name is Erica. Before you and Freak came in, she was the governor. I liked her for a while, I tried pursuing her but she had a fiancé. We kissed, just once, in her office, but it meant nothing to the both of us. I love you, Gidge. I will not cheat on you, ever. Please believe me." This time Franky moved closer again, and Bridget stayed in her position.

"Okay. I believe you." Bridget break into tears. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sensitive these days and sometimes I can't even stand myself."

"Hey... It's fine. Hey?" Franky kissed Bridget's tears away and made Bridget look at her. "You're going through a hard time, I understand. But I need you to think positive and stay cheerful for our baby. And I need you to put all your trust on me." Franky smiled, and Bridget nodded slightly. Bridget had been on an emotional rollercoaster where she could be happy in a minute, angry in the next.

Franky pulled the fleece blanket up to Bridget's chin and turn on the television for her tired lover to watch while she cook something for Bridget to eat. The pregnant woman had been craving lots of food lately and Franky had been trying her best to fulfill all of them.
