Chapter 218: False alarm
"But how is that possible?" Mary propped herself up on the bathroom door and said incredulously, "I mean, how is that possible?" I personally accompanied you to the hospital—"
"Mary. Just fall in love with WwW. LWXS520。 COM" Jenny raised her voice helplessly, "As much as I would love to join you in the crash, stop talking now, knowing that you're waiting outside makes me completely impossible, you know - use this pregnancy test." ”
"Okay, okay." Mary's voice came faintly, but she couldn't be quiet for long, and couldn't help but say, "But, seriously, how is this possible?" Are you sure it's not that you're mistaken? ”
Fortunately, Jenny had made the most of this time and completed the pregnancy test, she took a piece of paper to wrap the pregnancy test stick, washed her hands hastily, and opened the bathroom door.
"Look at my notepad." She opened her new iPhone - although the machine will not be released until June, it is not difficult for Hollywood stars like Jenny to get a finished product or two early, and Jenny has really had enough of the Symbian system. "See the logo on the calendar? The last time was 40 days ago. ”
"And you—" said Mary, answering herself without waiting for Jenny to answer, "and your cycle has always been a very accurate thirty-two days—god!" But—"
She went back to the tangled starting point, "But how is that possible?" ”
Jeanne didn't blame Mary, she couldn't believe that she could get pregnant, or she wouldn't have been reminded by Cesare until now - she and Chris had been using condoms, but it wasn't the only form of contraception, it was just for safety, convenience, and lubrication, and more often than not, it was just a habit, because she decided to move into Malibu and stay in a real boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Chris, and then went to the hospital to have the IUD placed. After all, on the basis of active and frequent sex, condoms are not so safe, if you wear them at the wrong time, let the male liquid enter the body, or the action is too intense, and the condom is broken, then there is a risk of pregnancy. And this matter, of course, is absolutely unacceptable.
In fact, for most Americans, long-acting contraceptives are a more suitable and common choice, but Jenny can't use hormonal contraception, even if the risk is small, she can't afford the consequences of gaining weight after taking drugs, and long-acting contraceptives are not said to stop can be stopped, as for short-acting contraceptives and after-the-fact pills, they are all hormones, and they have to be worried all day long, always remember this matter, before the two of them were not a burden when they got together less and left more, but after living together, the situation has changed, Therefore, Jenny still put in a contraceptive device after thinking about it, which is also a low-risk, low-harm long-term birth control method, which is also quite common in the United States and is the choice of many families.
"I don't know," she said, covering her forehead. groaned, rummaging through the calendar, counting the number of 'activities' between the two of them during the last ovulation, "But the risk does exist, and there was a time a few weeks ago when we didn't use a condom—"
Chris's consideration of Jenny was of course informed and supportive, and after that, the vigilance of the two was also relaxed, after all, both of them had medical examinations, both of them were completely healthy, and not everyone remembered to find this non-essential device every time they were in love, so if the IUD somehow failed, there was really such a glimmer of possibility. It's just that when she wears a condom most of the time and the woman has a birth control ring, this chance is too small, so small that Jenny is completely negligible.
――What if I was really pregnant? Jenny doesn't want to think about it at all now, this is also quite rare for her, after all, since the girlhood in her previous life, to this point now, how many winds and waves have been seen, and there are really few things that can make her difficult to face, and the mentality is a complete escape, even if it is just a little bit of thinking about what to do if it comes true, it is so painful that she can't wait to punch her and faint, and then let her get up after the result.
"Oh my God, if it's true, if it happens—" Mary, who knew her itinerary well, was almost as devastated as she was, "and what are we going to do?" Cesare is going to go crazy, and Fox and Marvel, how will Chris react, are you going to keep the kids-"
"Mary?" Jenny closed her eyes and said patiently, "Shut up." ”
Mary closed her mouth almost with a snap, and she looked at Jenny, and then at the pregnancy test stick wrapped around the washstand, "Uh, it's time, Jane—do you want me to show it to you?" ”
"Look!" Jenny sat on the toilet seat, clutched her head and cried out, "God, look, and tell me the result!" ”
She closed her eyes desperately, not caring how many wrinkles it would squeeze out, and the sound of a whisper added to the tension in the air, and then Mary sighed and announced with relief.
"False alarm!" She almost collapsed and said, "You're not pregnant!" ”
Jenny almost didn't slip to the ground, and she let out a long sigh, unable to speak—
"But," Mary said with a new question, "if that's the case, why would your MC be late?" ”
"I don't know, so we'll call my obstetrician and say it's better to go to the hospital for a check-up now." Jenny was also thinking about it, and she wouldn't be at ease if she didn't completely rule out the possibility. "Mary, you go call, and if you can, we'll go over now."
Although most hospitals are by appointment, they are all for civilians, and for large customers like Jenny, the hospital service in the United States is still quite fast and intimate. Mary quickly contacted Jenny's usual obstetrician, "Dr. Manson says it's a common reaction, and that many people's cycles change after placement - but to be on the safe side, you'd better come for a check-up, and you're going to have to go for a check-up every few months after placement anyway, and your time is almost up." ”
Jenny was more relieved to have a doctor, but just in case, the hospital still had to go. "So what are you waiting for? Let's go. ”
#
There are many ways to check if you are pregnant, and the most reliable and fastest is of course the B-ultrasound test, so when Jenny and Mary drove home, the two were completely in a state of laughter, and the whole person was so relaxed that after putting Mary home on the way, she simply called Lilian to share her terrifying experience just now, and by the way, she talked to her about Lilian's planned wedding.
Although with the increasingly busy schedule and Lilian's own promotion, she and Lilian have not had as many opportunities to meet as before, but this does not mean that the friendship will fade, Jenny and her are the kind of friends who can not be in touch for a long time and will not be unfamiliar, once they have the opportunity to talk on the phone, the conversation is endless. After laughing at Jenny's startle on the other end of the phone, Lillian also talked about her and Mark's several frightening experiences - a common concern for every family who doesn't plan to have children for a while, and the two of them went all over the world from Hollywood back to Malibu, and Jenny was still talking on the phone when she walked into the mansion.
"Yes, yes," she said, laughing, "and Mary said, 'Wait, I said I don't like romance, but that doesn't mean you can take a handful of broccoli and propose to me.' ”
She rushed down the stairs and said hello to Chris, who was walking down the stairs, and continued on the phone, "And then Nicholas said, 'I thought you were really allergic to all flowers', got it?" I laughed to death, he thought Mary's allergies were true, so he never sent flowers. ”
She chatted with Lillian and kissed Chris, then walked into the living room with him and sat down on the couch, leaning into his arms and talking on the phone, "Of course, the proposal must have failed...... Needless to say? Yes, how could it be ...... to say yes?"
After chatting happily for a while, Jenny dropped her phone, "Hey, I thought you didn't get home that early - what's wrong?" Isn't it going well today? ”
Chris's small movements today are indeed very few, in the past two of them in this situation, he would definitely 'harass' Jenny, but today he has been quite thoughtful, and from time to time he also glanced at Jenny, as if thoughtful.
"It's not a big deal." He replied vaguely and coughed again, "Dinner?" ”
"Okay, what's going to eat tonight?" Jenny was in a really good mood right now, and she excitedly asked Chris, "Let's go to the kitchen and have a look, can we have a TV dinner tonight?" ”
Unless there is a special request, the chef will leave after cooking breakfast and lunch, preparing a post-workout energy drink and a simple dinner for them, because Jenny and Chris's eating habits are the opposite of ordinary people (mainly Jenny), and their most important meal of the day is lunch, so unlike the average Westerner who eats cold food for lunch, dinner is a big meal for the whole family, and their dinner is generally simple cold food, clear soup, etc., and does not need to be freshly cooked. The chef will design the recipe according to the different nutritional needs of the two people, for example, Chris wants to have some muscle, so his dinner will have more meat than Jenny's, Jenny pays more attention to the slender body, eats more vegetables, and the taste is much lighter than Chris.
“ok。” Chris didn't 'protest' anything, but obediently stood up and walked to the kitchen, Jenny turned on the TV and watched it for a while, before the excitement faded, she turned around and lay on the back of the sofa, and shouted to Chris, "Can you hear me?" Tell you something. ”
There was a 'bang' from afar, and Chris seemed to have dropped some cutlery to the ground, and Jenny was startled and hurriedly ran over.
"Are you alright?" She asked, seeing that Chris was safe and sound, packing the crisper in front of the refrigerator door, and then continued to chat, "Cesare said he won't be here tonight, he has a business dinner—"
She suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Huh? Speaking of which, why didn't you see Louis? He shouldn't have left work early today, didn't you call someone to come to the house to play cards? Did you say you would have dinner together? ”
"Oh, I ...... Well, the game is canceled," Chris said, still crouching behind the refrigerator door, so his voice was a little urny, "you said you had something to tell me - is that it?" ”
"No," Jenny felt that something was wrong, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, "My schedule for this year has been roughly laid out, and I basically have to go around outside until the end of the year, and you are the same, so, do you want to go to North Carolina with me for a while?" ”
According to her schedule, Chris can only accompany her, and the possibility of her accompanying Chris is very small, and Jenny is also slightly sorry for this, but if you want to find time to get along, you can only arrange it this way. She leaned against the door and planned, "We can find a good house in North Carolina and live for a while, you won't feel any different from in Malibu, and then when you come back from Jordan, you can go directly to Wellington to find me, and the shooting schedule shouldn't be too rushed...... Chris? ”
The crisper box in Chris's hand had been packed, but he hadn't stood up yet, but was still squatting behind the refrigerator door, Jenny was starting to get a little anxious, and she also squatted down and approached her boyfriend? "Are you alright? You didn't hurt just now, did you? - What's wrong with you? ”
Seeing Chris's eyes wandering around, and he just wouldn't make eye contact with her, Jenny really started to worry, because Chris didn't act like he was enduring any physical pain now, but more like he was - more like he was a little scared -
"Wait." She seemed to suddenly understand something, and Jenny suddenly laughed a little, "Chris, did you use my bathroom?" Don't tell me you still rummaged through the trash? ”
"I didn't mean to do that," Chris anxiously defended himself, "we've been using that bathroom lately - and I haven't gone through the trash can, you forgot to lose it, it's on the washstand, and I can't see it." ”
It wasn't particularly funny, but Jenny still had a hard time holding back the urge to laugh, "And then you picked it up and looked at it—and then what?" silly! That's negative, and since you've seen it all, what's there to worry about? ”
"What? Is it negative? Chris's eyes widened, and he looked up hopefully - the expression could have been applied directly to the advertisement, and the sheer joy was infectious, as if he had just discovered some great invention that could save humanity, "Is it a false alarm?" ”
"It's a false alarm, that's right." Jenny also squatted down with him, and she sat down directly on the ground with a smile, "Ohmygod, this is just so funny, you should look at the way you were scared crazy just now!" ”
However, she didn't intend to laugh at Chris too much, but a little 'found a companion' joy, "But actually, I'm the same, to be honest, when I first started to doubt, I was so scared that I couldn't breathe." ”
“right?” Chris also found his soulmate, "right? God, I don't know how those 10 minutes came by, especially when the driver just told Jack that you went to the maternity department - I'm just, that's ......."
After the initial fright, in addition to feeling ridiculously funny, there is also the happiness of the rest of the life, Jenny and Chris both pointed at each other, couldn't help laughing and talking, and soon pieced together the truth of the matter: Chris had gone home early to prepare for tonight's dinner and card game, and on the way home, assistant Jack told him that when he and Jenny's driver confirmed the trip, the driver said that Jenny went out again not long after returning home, and now she was going to the obstetric clinic.
There has been such a foreshadowing, of course, Chris is also a little shadow in his heart, when he walked into the bathroom, he completely wanted to be crooked when he saw the pregnancy test stick, and this guy has been very careful before, and he has never come to the step of having to contact the pregnancy test stick, so he doesn't know how to look negative or positive, just when Jack called to confirm the card game, where is Chris still in the mood to play cards? Casually canceled, it was while crouching on the edge of the trash can and tangled over the instructions on the package that Jenny went home, and still so elated. It makes it impossible for Chris to ask for details, or communicate with her about it - being a mother is so happy, and it puts a lot of moral pressure on him, and if he doesn't act happy and expectant, it seems like he's going to be a bad guy.
Under this abnormal high pressure, he really didn't know how he got over for the past twenty minutes. It wasn't until now that it was confirmed that Jenny's happiness was not because of 'have', but because of 'no', that Chris was truly relaxed, and the two of them were just as happy as Christmas, even more than Valentine's Day before, and they both felt that they should drink some wine to relax the nerves that had been tense to the limit just now, and soothe it well.
"I mean." Chris took a big sip of wine, "Of course it might not be a good thing to say, it doesn't sound so manly, but seriously, I'm only 31 and you're only 26 - who would be a parent at this age?" We are not those teenage mothers who are pregnant and have children in the first year of high school. ”
"I understand you," Jenny giggled as she poured him a full drink, "it's really scary, isn't it?" You still have so much to do, and the child will just mess it all up, and then you will be sad to find that everything will never go back to the way it used to be, time will start to speed up, and you will grow old several times faster than before. ”
Chris touched his face and shuddered, "It's horrible, that feeling of having to shoulder another person's life all of a sudden - you know, all of a sudden, all the parties, all the vacations...... As you say, nothing will ever go back to the way it was, and how terrible that is! ”
He was already a little drunk, so he became chattering, but Jenny knew his mentality well, and although she and Chris both had enough money to raise the child, it might be feasible to leave it alone after having a child if they wanted to. But childbearing is not such a simple thing, after having children, the emotional and physical connection will make the parents' own lifestyle change greatly, which has nothing to do with money, it is a fear of change. Of course, maybe he will want to have children after a few years of change of mentality, but when he thinks he is taking sufficient precautions, there is such an accident suddenly, and it is normal for Chris to be unable to accept it for a while and feel rejected. Let's just say that Jenny is good herself, even if she doesn't have any special concerns, it's completely Jenny. Jefferson, without any other nonsense, couldn't accept it at this point in time for her to put off the next 10 months of her trip to have a baby—and the decision they had to make would be very difficult.
"Yes, it's scary." Thinking of her previous experience, she grimaced, "Think about it, getting up in the middle of the night to feed, the never-ending clutter, diapers, mess, and crying—"
She shuddered with Chris, clinked glasses, and took a celebratory sip of her drink.
A gust of night wind blew and caused ripples in the jacuzzi, Chris and Jenny both quieted down, and after a pleasant silence, Chris cocked his fingers and calculated in a happy tone, "Let's see how we almost got into a predicament, if you were really pregnant, and we decided to give birth to the baby—"
"First of all, I can't make Avatar." Jenny said, "And can you imagine James' fury? I doubt he'll buy a murderer to kill me, he definitely will, after all, even if I barely make it, the effect will definitely not be perfect. ”
"You can go and shoot Monroe after giving birth." Chris jokingly said, "Producing increased weight will bring you closer to her image." ”
Jenny laughed, "Don't be complacent, dear, don't think I'm going to make you so good, I can't do 'Avatar', you don't want to make 'Her in Love', according to the time calculation, it is the due date, you can't go anywhere, you can only stay with a pregnant woman who urins frequently, is irritable, resentful - imagine how fun it would be." ”
Chris shuddered again, "Okay, go on, what's more?" ”
"Then there's the need to plan time to take care of the kids," Jenny points out, "and in the next 10 years, we're going to have to have someone with the kids, which means we can't work at the same time, and it means less production, unless you're willing to send the kids to grandma's house, which might not be legal." ”
"yes, it's not legal and it can't be," Chris agreed, "my mom won't say yes - and it will have a very big impact on the public image, you know, bad examples, irresponsible parents or whatever, so there's only one way to cut production." ”
He grimaced, "You're going to hate me for that, aren't you?" ”
"Absolutely, if you didn't hate me first." Jenny said, shrugging her shoulders, "Then it's nothing, take turns to take the child, pick a school, hope that he won't be spoiled, not tainted with bad habits, except for some conveniences brought by money, basically the same as other parents, and even because we are very rich, we have more things to worry about than the average family." ”
"Well, and then as he grows up, he realizes that you're getting old so fast that you have no excuse to be carefree anymore......" Chris's voice sank, as if caught in his own delusion, but he quickly shook his head again and came to his senses from his fantasy, "Terrible, isn't it?" We should celebrate. ”
Jenny clinked glasses with him again, but stopped him from approaching, and she smiled and said, "No, no, this thing is so dangerous for me after today's scare, I need a little time to recover, hahaha-"
Chris cried, "But- there are things you can't stop doing because they're dangerous, honey-"
In the laughter of the two, this ridiculous little turmoil officially came to an end, and Jenny and Chris quickly agreed on a plan for the two to meet and contact this year - yes, the two of them were so busy that they even had to make an appointment for a meeting a few months in advance, including the time of the phone call, so as not to find anyone due to the time difference and working hours - as she thought in advance, Chris would fly to the set to accompany her when he was free, And they can no longer respect the unspoken rule of 'no partner', otherwise the two will not have the opportunity to meet at all for the next eight months to a year.
Since the estimated schedule of "Iron Man" is only one month, the work of packing up is not so heavy, and after spending a barely and leisurely half a month in Hollywood, Jenny and Chris boarded their private jet and took Robert Jr. Downey and his wife, well-known producer Susanna. Downey, flew to North Carolina in the Northwest Territories, and officially began filming "Iron Man".
The author has something to say: Note: The probability of long-acting contraceptives making people gain weight is actually not too high, but there are still some, so Jenny must not take this risk, because it is difficult to lose hormonal weight. In addition, even if the woman has long-term contraception and both parties are clean and disease-free, it is also recommended to have sex. Love to use condoms, because it can effectively reduce the chance of women being injured in **, and it is of great help to lubrication, which is very respected by the United States. In addition, don't think that Shanghuan seems to be too down-to-earth so very low, this is a very effective and safe contraceptive measure, as long as your physique will not be uncomfortable to wear, and operate in accordance with the regulations, regular physical examination, it is much better than taking medicine, this means is used all over the world, and it is not Chinese characteristics.
Finally, even if you use condoms correctly throughout the process, the probability of contraception is only 97%, not to mention that there are not many people who will use it regularly throughout the process, so this is indeed a risky game, if you don't want to win the lottery, you still have to play more carefully.
Tonight's single more ha~
ps: I actually wrote it at 6 o'clock in the synopsis last night......
Haha~ In addition, this plot is not written casually, don't say that I cheat the number of words~
