This is a continuation of "Sleep Aid Gone Wrong". To get the full context of what goes on in this story please read that story first.
It's been 5 months since Jacob was born. Jennifer has been doing what she could for him while continuing her stay at home job. She's been able to find a nice balance of job and taking care of him so he continues to be healthy but no issues with money. For a good amount of the time Jennifer has thought about that fateful night that changed her life. She's wished she could take the pills and experience it once more but along with getting potential revenge.
She knew she had to prioritize Jacob first and foremost. If she left him for 8 hours who knows what could happen.
Because of her going to motherly classes, she made a new friend that they quickly resonated with eachother who's name is Paige. Paige has blonde hair and because of her recently having a child as well her chest has increased to around 40C Which has left Jennifer a bit jealous compared to her smaller chest size but she never let it affect their friendship. Paige has been helping Jennifer a ton with Jacob and Jennifer has been returning the favor with helping with Paige's kid, Marco.
One night Paige came over to hang out so Marco and Jacob can play but her and Jennifer being able to do their own plans like having some coffee, dinner and relaxing with some games. Jennifer of course tells Paige the same story she tells everyone about Jacob about how there was a one night stand with some individuals and isn't sure who the father is. Paige generally doesn't pry so Jennifer is in the clear about it.
During their game session Paige looks at Jennifer. "I'm just gonna come out and say it and please be honest. You're exhausted aren't you." Jennifer kind of froze at this sudden statement but thought about it quick and realized that yes she has been working herself to the bone. Even with evenly balancing her new lifestyle, she rarely has time for herself anymore and isn't able to just relax with the same convenient stuff she's been so used to.
Jennifer slowly spoke up saying "....yes, Jacob is a handful and I have a lot going on at my job."
Paige held Jennifers hand and caressed it with her thumb. "You're kinda like me here. I thought it'd be so much easier but here we are." she gave a quick chuckle and Jennifer smiled in response. "Listen, we've known eachother a bit and I consider us really good friends." Paige continued. "So as your best friend, I want to help."
Jennifer looked confused. "Help how?" She asked.
"Well, you're exhausted, so you need a break. I'm sure with how much you've been working you got a sick stack of PTO at your job, so, here's what I propose. You let me babysit Jacob, and while I do that, you get out of town. Get a hotel. Go to a resort. Get a massage. Hell, get railed by 30 girls or dudes for all I care. Just get some rest hun."
Jennifer felt something in her body hearing that last part. "I....don't know, of course I trust you but I'm sure Marco is a handful just like Jacob, I don't want to leave you alone to deal with both and-" Paige held her hand up to stop Jennifer from talking.
Jennifer went to continue and Paige put her hand over Jennifers mouth. "Stop it. You don't get a choice here, you deserve a break." Jennifer licked Paige's hand and Paige yelled "Ew did you just lick my hand?!" Jennifer stuck her tongue out and laughed and Paige got on Jennifer and they play wrestled a bit and Paige had the upper hand by holding Jennifers hands above her head. This flustered Jennifer and she threw in the white flag.
"Okay okay you win get off of me crazy" they both laughed and Paige took her spot back on the couch. "but are you really sure? Like I said Jacobs a handful as it is so I'm sure both of them will be tough." Jennifer insisted and Paige just shrugged.
"It'll be fine, they like eachother so they'll be able to play, just give me some tips for Jacob and I think I'll just be fine." Paige said and Jennifer stayed thinking. It was a tough choice especially when this would be the first time both her and Jacob would be away from eachother since she gave birth to him. Paige could see this in Jennifers face and sighed.
"Tell you what, I was gonna do this for free because you're my best friend now even if we've only known eachother a couple months. If you are having that tough a time, here's a deal. I take Jacob and I watch him for a few days while you do whatever you want to do with that time, and when there's a point I need a break, you take Marco and let me spend my time alone for a few days to do what I want then we go back to normal. Sound good?" Paige said confident this would get Jennifer to say yes.
Jennifer thought a moment "I appreciate it but I just don't think I--" Jennifer started but Paige cut her off again.
"Oh come on, you're telling me there's not anything you want to do that you can't anymore? You're telling me you just did nothing then Jacob was born? There's nothing you want to do that you even wanted to do before he was born that you can't now? Absolutely nothing?"
Paige said in a stern tone and that green bottle filled with the sleep aid immediately flashed to Jennifers head. Memories of her clone leaving her tied up and using her body like a sex doll and left her flustered and red knowing she's wanted that feeling again. She remembered Paige was in the room and shook it off. Paige was confused but didn't pry and Jennifer let out a small sigh.
"Okay. You're right there is something I want to do again that I can't right now. So.....I guess I'll take your offer. It's a deal, you can watch him and in return I watch Marco when you need it."
Paige squealed in delight and hugged Jennifer. "Perfect, let me know when you want to do it. My schedule is pretty open so I'm fine with taking him whenever you get the time off."
Jennifer thought and since was only Monday should be able to get off next Monday and Tuesday for a nice 4 day weekend where she could get away. "I'm thinking next I'll get next Monday and Tuesday off, so you'd get him Friday night. Would that be okay?" Jennifer asked and Paige smiled.
"It's a date." Jennifer liked that word. Date.
The moment was broken by Jacob and Marco waking up from their nap with a cry and Jennifer and Paige got up to help them settle down. Eventually Paige went home leaving Jennifer to take care of Jacob.
Tuesday morning came and Jennifer was able to easily request Monday and Tuesday off, so all she needed to do was survive the week.It was dreadfully slow with the new plans in her head Paige had setup for her but eventually Friday night came. Jennifer got dressed up nice and packed some clothes for her trip. Eventually she got a knock on the door and opened, and paige was there waiting with Marco. Jennifer was telling Paige Jacobs normal list, the fact she left some breast milk in the fridge for him and important bits and Paige eventually stopped her.
"Listen, I got it, he'll be okay. He'll be fed and taken care of same as Marco. It'll be okay I promise." Jennifer nodded.
