Pleasantview, Season 2 (Autumn) - Burb
“That was great, hon.”
“Yeah! Do you think it was enough for another baby?”
“I don’t know, John. I guess we’ll have to leave it to chance.”
Of course, Jennifer never left anything to chance. Was she going to let a new baby interfere with her career? No way. It was organised crime, you couldn’t just go on maternity leave.
Besides that, she didn’t want another kid. She didn’t regret Lucy, not exactly, but being stuck at home raising her was a special kind of hell. She wouldn’t go through it again.
But John would never understand, so she kept the fact that she was on birth control again a secret.
Lucy loved her hair, but she liked to change it up from time to time. Sadly, this took a lot of trial and error.
Lucy’s secret dream was to be a crime boss. Oh, the power… But she wasn’t smart enough yet, and she knew it. So, in the meantime? She was working law enforcement. Know your enemy!
She had little clue what her mother did for a living.
“Hey, Lucy. How was school?”
“I won a drumming competition!”
“Not bad, kid!”
“How was work?”
“You know, boring. The usual. Stuck in the office all day, hahaha!”
“Nina! How are you holding up? I’m so, so sorry about Dina.”
“Me too. But she’s with Michael now, you know? I’m sure she’s happy.”
“I’m sure she is. But what about you?”
“I’m surviving! Keeping busy, that’s the main thing.”
Jen and John had a happy marriage, even with just the one kid. She was sure it didn’t bother him.
