disclaimer: Standard Jenny, I own no recognizable trademarked characters. However Jenny is MINE, and I will fight you for her. I have been known to share if you ask nicely though.
pre-note: This story takes place during "Human and the Demon" from chapter 15 to the end.
Yes, Dear
by Dizi
Jenny leaned back against Kurt, as they watched the sun come up.
It was a new day. She loved and knew she was loved in return. She was whole and would soon be able to go back to work. Everything was wonderful.
"Ich liebe dich," he murmured, kissing the top of her head.
She smiled and turned to kiss his cheek.
"I'm not going to marry you."
Kurt smiled back. "Ja, Geliebt."
Carefully, Kurt placed the tray on the table by the bed, sat down on the edge, and tickled Jenny's nose with the flower clutched in his tail.
Opening her eyes, Jenny saw the flower and smiling slowly, sniffed it. "Ororo's not going to be happy with you for picking one of her flowers."
"I vill apologize." He handed her a glass of tomato juice. "I haf brought breakfast."
When they finished eating, he cleared the dishes, not letting her help.
Jenny watched him carrying the tray out while she made the bed. "I'm still not going to marry you."
"Ja, Geliebt." he smiled.
Harry looked from the back of the room where Jenny sat doing paperwork to the opposite end of the bar where Kurt sat watching her. "He's a goner."
"If she ever gives in," Logan grunted.
"She say it yet?" Harry passed him another beer.
After taking a big drink, Logan answered, "Nope."
Harry pulled a bill from his pocket. "Ten, she says it before she leaves."
"You're on. I think it'll be after the good night kiss." Logan slapped his money on the bar.
Kurt went to the jukebox and put in a quarter. The music started playing and he took a protesting Jenny by the hand, pulling her up from her seat to dance.
"Break time. This could be it," Harry said gleefully.
When the song ended, Kurt let Jenny go back to work without incident.
"Nope, not yet," was Logan's smug reply.
Thirty minutes later, Jenny stacked all the papers neatly and took them to the office. Kurt met her on the way out, putting his arm around her waist. With Kurt whispering in her ear the whole way, they walked in that manner to the front door to wait for Logan.
With a smirk, he grabbed the money and tipped his hat to Harry, who cursed at him.
Just before Jenny passed through the door, she said to Kurt. "I'm really not gonna marry you, you know."
His response of "Ja, Geliebt" was drowned out by Harry shouting "Get back here with my money!"
"Oh! Jenny, look!" Jean pointed to the picture in the magazine. "This would be perfect for your wedding."
Kurt choked on the laugh he tried to hold back.
Jenny glared at him. "How many ways do I have to say it? I am not going to marry you!"
The mangled sounds coming from him might have been "Ja, Geliebt."
"Oh, are you still saying that?" Jean asked innocently, winking at Kurt.
The barbeque in full swing, Jenny was getting out the condiments for the burgers while dancing to Queen's 'Somebody to Love'.
As it came to the last verse, Kurt took her by the hand, twirled her out and back, then just as Freddie Mercury's voice faded he dipped her down low.
Laughing, they shared a quick kiss and Jenny grinned at him. "You know, I am-"
"-not gonna marry him." Logan finished. "Yeah, yeah, we know. Now can ya move over? Me an' Remy want a beer."
Kurt tried to suppress his smile. "Ja, Geliebt."
"Oui, we know dat one too." Remy rolled his eyes, waiting for Logan to hand over his beer.
Snatching Zelig from Hank's arms, Jenny chided, "I can't believe you shared your Twinkie with him. He's only a month old and shouldn't be eating solid food yet."
Hank blinked at her. "It is imperative a child be properly educated from the earliest age possible. He now knows Twinkies are a necessary dietary supplement. Besides it was just a little bit of creme-filling and he liked it."
"Now I have to explain to Lacy why her son's first food was Twinkie filling." Jenny made a face at him.
Kurt ran a hand over the baby's head, taking in his placid expression, while Zelig tried to grab his nose. "Zere has been no harm."
Looking at him, Jenny saw the obvious love on his face. "I am not going to marry you." she said more to remind herself than to tell him. She didn't hear the note of doubt, but she did add silently, 'Am i?'
Kurt gently kissed her cheek and took Zelig from her. Walking out of the room, he had a huge grin on his face as he said, "Ja, Geliebt."
As fast as she could, she exited the taxi and ran to the mansion's door.
"Yore not supposed ta see him before the weddin', Jenny!" Rogue called as she watched her run down the entrance hall. "It's bad luck!"
"That's tomorrow!" she yelled back already climbing the stairs.
She didn't knock as she threw open the bedroom door.
Kurt jumped off the bed with a startled, "Vas?"
"I can't do it! I can't!" Jenny fell into his arms sobbing. "I am not going to marry you."
His arms tightened around her. "Ja, Geliebt."
Waking, she didn't open her eyes, instead snuggling closer to the warm body next to her.
"Guten morgen, Mrs. Wagner." Kurt whispered.
"Good morning, Mr. Wagner." Jenny whispered back, then grinned at him. "I really did it, didn't I? I went and married you. You're stuck with me now."
Kurt's smile was decidedly smug. "Ja, Geliebt."
Not really the end.
German Key:
ja yes
Geliebt Beloved
Ich liebe dich I love you
vas what
guten morgen good morning
note:
GothikStrawberry- Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. Lacy needed her own chapter though.
CaptainTish- I'm glad you liked it. I wrote this one and the Kurt pov's to get back in the Jenny grove when I detoured to write "The Gift" which is on aff. Almost didn't post it but my beta liked it so much I had absolutely no choice.
B Oots- It's coming! That's the next chapter of "Human and the Demon"!
Shorty McGee- Um, I'm sorry. She's dead. That's what that very last part was about. Didn't you read chapter 19? I thought you had.
This was written before I figured out how much time there should be between chapters 19 and 20, so if it seems not to fit it's because I wrote this first. I actually wrote it waaaaaay back in July, I think. And being as I just finished chapter 20 that's a good portion of the story that hadn't been done yet. But I decided not to change it or try to adjust it because I really just kinda like it the way it is. Kinda gives you an idea of how she got wore down, huh? Passive resistance and everyone else sticking their nose in. I think she would have given in sooner if they had left Kurt to do it on his own. Maybe. I mean, he's her blueberry muffin, right? What woman could resist?
The next couple of these will be set during the wedding. The first being "The First Dance" and it's really sweet and fun and I really think you'll all like it.
Thanks for reading and the support,
Dizi
