Hollywood Domination Chapter 218: False alarm

"But how is it possible?" Mary leaned on the door of the bathroom, and said incredulously, "I mean, how is this possible? I personally accompanied you to the hospital—"

"Mary." Jenny raised her voice resignedly, "As much as I'd love to join you and break down with you, stop talking now, knowing you're out there waiting makes me completely helpless, you know—use this test Pregnancy stick."

"Okay, okay." Mary's voice came faintly, but she couldn't keep quiet for long, and couldn't help saying, "But, seriously, how is this possible? Are you sure it's not you Did you remember wrong?"

Fortunately, Jenny has made full use of this time and completed the pregnancy test process. She took a piece of paper to wrap the pregnancy test stick, washed her hands hastily, and opened the door of the bathroom.

"Look at my notepad." She opened the newly acquired Apple mobile phone - although this machine will not be released until June, but Hollywood stars like Jenny got one or two finished products in advance It wasn't too difficult, and Jenny was really fed up with Symbian. "See the sign on the calendar? The last time was 40 days ago."

"And you—" Mary said, before Jenny could reply, "and your cycle has always been a perfect 32 days—god! But—"

She returned to the original point of entanglement, "But how is this possible?"

Jenny doesn't blame Mary, she can't even believe that there is a possibility of pregnancy, otherwise she wouldn't have been delayed until now by Cesare's inadvertent reminder-she and Chris have been using condoms, but that's not The only contraceptive method is just for safety, convenience and lubrication, and more often it is just a habit, because she decided to move to Malibu and keep a real boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Chris before going to the hospital for placement Birth control ring. After all, on the basis of active and frequent sexual life, condoms are not so safe. If the timing is wrong, male fluids enter the body, or the action is too violent, and the condom is broken, then there is a risk of pregnancy. And this is of course absolutely unacceptable.

In fact, for most Americans, long-acting contraceptives are a more appropriate and common choice, but it is impossible for Jenny to use hormonal contraceptives. Even if the risks are small, she cannot afford the consequences of gaining weight after taking the pills. And the long-acting contraceptives can’t be stopped just by stopping. As for the short-acting contraceptives and after-event pills, they are both hormones, and you have to worry about it all day long. Always remember this matter. Time is not a burden, but after living together, the situation has changed, so Jenny put in the birth control ring after consideration. This is also a long-term birth control method with low risk and little harm, and it is quite common in the United States. , is the choice of many families.

"I don't know," she moaned, covering her forehead, looking through the calendar, calculating the number of 'activities' the two of them had during the last ovulation period, "but the risk does exist, there was one a few weeks ago We don't use condoms—"

Of course, Chris knew and supported Jenny's consideration. After that, the vigilance of the two of them also relaxed. Remember to look for this non-essential paraphernalia, so if the IUD somehow fails, there really is a slim chance. It's just that when the condom is worn most of the time and the woman has an IUD, the chance of this is so small that Jenny is completely negligible.

——What should I do if I am really pregnant? Jenny is completely unwilling to think about it now, which is quite rare for her. After all, from the girlhood in her previous life to this point, she has seen many storms and waves, and it is really rare. It can make it difficult for her to face it, and it is a complete escape in terms of mentality. Even if you just think about what to do if it comes true, it will be so painful that you can't wait for someone to punch her unconscious, and let her wait for the result. stand up.

"My God, if it's true, if it's true—" Marie, who knew her itinerary very well, was almost as broken as she was, "Then what should we do? Cesare will go crazy, and Fox and Marvel, how will Chris react, do you want to keep the child—”

"Mary?" Jenny closed her eyes and said patiently, "Shut up."

Mary closed her mouth almost with a 'snap', she looked at Jenny, then at the wrapped pregnancy test stick on the washstand, "Uh, it's time, Jane—you want me to Can you help me see?"

"Look!" Jenny sat on the toilet seat, holding her head and screamed, "God, look, and tell me the result!"

She closed her eyes desperately, no longer caring how many wrinkles would be squeezed out, a rustling sound made the tension in the air more concentrated, and then Mary sighed and announced with a sigh of relief.

"False alarm!" She said almost faintly, "You are not pregnant!"

Jenny almost slipped to the ground, she let out a long sigh and was speechless——

"However," Mary has a new question here, she said inexplicably, "If this is the case, why is your mc late?"

"I don't know either, so let's call my obstetrician, and it's best to go to the hospital for an examination now." Jenny is also thinking about this matter, if she doesn't completely rule out the possibility, she won't assured. "Mary, you go and call, if you can, we will go there now."

Although most hospitals adopt an appointment system, they are all services for civilians. For big customers like Jenny who can spend money, American hospital services are quite fast and considerate. Mary quickly contacted the obstetrician that Jenny usually used, "Dr. Manson said that this is a common reaction, and many people's cycles will change after placement-but to ensure safety, you'd better come for an obstetrician." Check, anyway, you have to go for a routine check every few months after placement, and your time is almost up."

With a doctor, Jenny will be more at ease, but just in case, she still has to go to the hospital. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

#

There are many ways to check whether you are pregnant. The most reliable and fastest method is of course the B-ultrasound test. Therefore, when Jenny and Mary drove home, they were in a state of laughter and laughter, and they felt relaxed After putting Mary home on the way, she simply called Lilian to share her shocking experience just now, and chatted with her about the wedding Lilian was planning.

Although with the increasingly busy schedule and Lilian's own promotion, the chances of her and Lilian to meet are not as many as before, but this does not mean that the friendship will fade. Friends who have not been in touch for a long time and will not be unfamiliar, once they have a chance to talk on the phone, the chat will be endless. After Lilian laughed at Jenny's surprise on the other end of the phone, she also talked about the several shocking experiences she had with Mark-for every family who does not plan to have children for the time being, this kind of worry is very important. Usually, the two of them talked back to Malibu from Hollywood, and Jenny was still talking on the phone when she walked into the mansion.

"Yeah, yeah," she says, laughing, "and Mary's like, 'Wait, I said I don't like romance, but that doesn't mean you can propose to me with a handful of broccoli' ——Ah, you are already home."

She rushed down the stairs Chris raised his hand to say hello, continued on the phone, "then Nicholas said, 'I thought you were really allergic to all flowers', get it? LOL , he thought Mary’s allergy was true, so he never sent flowers.”

While chatting with Lilian, she kissed Chris lightly, walked into the living room with him and sat down on the sofa, leaning against his arms and talking on the phone, "Of course, the proposal must fail That's it...does it need to be said? Yes, how can I agree..."

After chatting happily for a while, Jenny put down her phone, "Hey, I thought you didn't get home so early—what's the matter? Is your schedule not going well today?"

Chris did very little tricks today. Before the two of them were in this situation, he would definitely 'harass' Jenny. Today, he has been quite thoughtful, and looks at Jenny from time to time, as if thinking.

"It's nothing serious." He answered vaguely, coughed again, "Do you have dinner?"

"Okay, what's for dinner tonight?" Jenny is in a really good mood now, and she erroneously asked Chris, "Go to the kitchen and have a look, can we have TV dinner tonight?"

Unless there is a special request, the chef will leave after cooking breakfast and lunch, preparing energy drinks for them after exercise and a simple dinner, because Jenny and Chris' eating habits are the opposite of ordinary people (mainly Jenny), their most important meal of the day is lunch, so unlike most Westerners who eat cold food for lunch, dinner is a big meal for the whole family. Their dinner is usually simple cold food, clear soup, etc. Wait, no need to do it now. The chef will design recipes according to the different nutritional needs of the two. For example, Chris wants to have some muscles, so his dinner will be more meaty than Jenny’s. Also much lighter than Chris.

"Okay." Chris didn't 'protest' anything, but obediently stood up and walked to the kitchen. Jenny turned on the TV and watched for a while, the excitement had not faded, she turned and lay on the back of the sofa, and shouted at Chris Said, "Can you hear me? Tell you something."

There was a 'bang bang' from a distance. Chris seemed to have dropped some tableware to the ground. Jenny was startled and ran over quickly.

"Are you okay?" 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 come to the game tonight, he There is a business dinner—”

She suddenly felt something was wrong, "Huh? Speaking of which, why didn't you see Louis? He shouldn't leave work early today. Didn't you invite someone to play cards at home? We agreed to have dinner together?"

"Oh, I... well, the game is cancelled," Chris said, his voice a little muffled because he was still squatting behind the refrigerator door, "You said you had something to tell me—is that it?"

"No," Jenny felt that something was wrong, but she didn't take it too seriously, "My schedule for this year has been roughly drawn out, and I will basically be out and about until the end of the year, and you are the same, so, do you want to go out with me? Shall I go to North Carolina to live together for a while?"

According to her schedule, Chris can only accompany her. The possibility of her accompanying Chris is very slim. Jenny also feels a little guilty about this, but if she wants to find time to spend time together, she can only arrange it this way. . She leaned against the door and planned, "We can find a good house in North Carolina, live for a while, you won't feel any difference from Malibu, and then when you come back from Jordan, come directly to Wellington to find me , the shooting schedule shouldn't be too rushed...Chris?"

The fresh-keeping box in Chris's hand has been packed, but he hasn't stood up yet, but is still squatting behind the refrigerator door. Jenny began to feel a little anxious, and she also squatted down and approached her boyfriend? "Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt just now?——What's the matter with you?"

Seeing Chris's eyes fluttering around, refusing to meet her eyes, Jenny really started to worry, because now Chris doesn't act like he is enduring some physical pain, but more like ——More like a little scared——

"Wait." She seemed to understand something suddenly, and Jenny suddenly couldn't help but laugh, "Chris, did you use my bathroom? Don't tell me you also rummaged through the trash can?"

"I didn't mean to do that," Chris argued anxiously, "we've been using that bathroom lately—and I didn't dig through the trash can, you forgot to throw it away, it's It's on the washstand, I can't not see it."

Although this is not particularly funny and absurd, Jenny still has a hard time resisting the urge to laugh, "Then you picked it up and looked at it—and then? Silly! It's negative, since you've seen it all, then What else is there to worry about?"

"What? It's negative?" Chris's eyes widened, and he raised his head hopefully—this expression could be used directly in an advertisement, the pure joy is so contagious , as if what he just discovered is a great invention that can save mankind, "Is it a false alarm?"

"That's right, it's a false alarm." Jenny also squatted down with him, and she sat down on the ground with a smile, "ohmygod, this is so funny, you should see the way you were frightened just now! "

However, she didn't intend to laugh at Chris too much, but she was a little bit of joy of "finding a companion", "But in fact, I am the same. To be honest, when I first doubted it, I was so scared that I couldn't breathe."

"right?" Chris also found a bosom friend, "right? God, I really don't know how I got here in those ten minutes just now, especially when the driver just told Jack that you went to the obstetrics department—I Simply, this is really..."

After the initial fright was over, apart from feeling absurdly funny, what remained was the joy of being alive after the catastrophe. Jenny and Chris pointed at each other, couldn't help laughing and said, and soon Put together the truth of the matter: Chris was going home early to entertain tonight's dinner and a game of cards. On the way home, his assistant Jack told him that when he and Jenny's driver confirmed the schedule, the driver said Not long after I got home, I went out again, and now I have to go to the obstetrics clinic.

With such a foreshadowing, of course Chris was a little shadowy. When he walked into the bathroom, he completely lost his mind when he saw the pregnancy test stick, and this guy had been very careful before. The pregnancy test stick touches this step, so I still don’t know how to judge whether it is negative or positive. It just so happens that Jack calls to confirm the game. How can Chris be in the mood to play cards? I canceled it casually, and just when I was squatting by the trash can and studying the instructions on the package, Jenny went home, and she was still so happy. It also puts a lot of moral pressure on Chris to ask for details, or talk to her about it - being so happy being a mom, and it seems like he's going to be a bad guy if he doesn't act happy and looking forward to it.

Under this abnormal high pressure, in the past twenty minutes, he really didn't know how he got here. Until now it is confirmed that Jenny's happiness is not because of "have", but because of "no", Chris is really relaxed, the two of them are as happy as Christmas, and even happier than before Valentine's Day, and They all feel that they should drink some wine to relax the nerves that were once tense to the limit just now, and soothe them.

"I mean." Chris took a sip of his wine, "Of course it might not be nice to say that, it doesn't sound so manly, but seriously, I'm only 31 and you're only 26—who Are we going to be parents at this age? We are not those teenage mothers who get pregnant and give birth in the first year of high school."

"Understood you," Jenny giggled and poured him a full glass, "it's really scary isn't it? You've got so much to do and the kid just messes it up and you get sad You suddenly find that everything can never go back to the way it was before, time starts to speed up, and you grow old several times faster than before."

Chris touched his face and couldn't help shivering, "It's horrible, the feeling of suddenly being responsible for another person's life—you know, all of a sudden, all the parties, vacations... ...just like you said, it's never going to be the same again, and that's horrible!"

He was already a little drunk, so he became nagging, but Jenny understood his mentality very well, although both she and Chris had enough money to raise this child, maybe if they wanted, It is also feasible to do nothing after giving birth to a child. But childbirth is not such a simple matter. After having a child, the emotional and physical connection will cause a great change in the parents' own lifestyle. This has nothing to do with money, but a fear of change. Of course, he may want to have children after his mentality changes in a few years, but when he thinks he has taken adequate precautions, suddenly there is such an accident, Chris cannot accept it for a while, and it is normal to feel rejected. Let’s just say that Jenny is fine, even if she has no special concerns, it’s all about Jenny Jefferson, and there are no other messy considerations. At this point in time, she is asked to postpone the next ten months’ schedule to have a baby, It's impossible for her to accept it-and then the decision they have to make will be very difficult.

"Yes, very scary." Thinking of her previous experience, she made a grimace, "Think about it, waking up in the middle of the night to feed, endless debris, diapers, mess and crying—"

She shivered with Chris, clinked glasses at the same time, and took a sip of wine in celebration.

A gust of night wind blew by, causing ripples in the jacuzzi. Both Chris and Jenny fell silent. After a pleasant silence, Chris raised his fingers and counted in a thankful tone. "Let's see, what kind of trouble we almost got into, if you do get pregnant and we decide to have a baby—"

"First of all, I can't make Avatar," Jenny said, "and can you imagine James' anger? I doubt he would buy me to kill me, he absolutely will, after all, even if I barely made it Group, the effect is definitely not perfect."

"You can take pictures of Monroe after giving birth." Chris joked, "The weight gained from giving birth will make you closer to her image."

Jenny laughed, "Don't be complacent, honey, don't think I'll make it so easy for you, I can't make "Avatar", and you don't want to make "She in Love", according to the time calculation, that's just right It's due and you can't go anywhere but with a pregnant, peeing, irritable, resentful woman—just imagine how much fun that would be."

Chris shuddered again, "OK, continue, what else?"

"And then you have to plan your time with the kids," Jenny points out. "For the next ten years, we'll have to have someone with the kids at all times, which means we can't work at the same time, and that means less production, unless you Willing to send the child to grandma's house, but that may not be legal."

"Yeah, illegal and impossible," Chris agreed, "my mom wouldn't let it--and it would be very public image-wise, you know, bad example, irresponsible Parents or something, so the only way to go is to reduce 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, "then it's nothing, taking turns raising the kids, picking schools, hoping he doesn't get spoiled, not infected with bad habits, except money belt Apart from some conveniences, we are basically the same as other parents, even because we are very rich, so we have more things to worry about than ordinary families.”

"Well, and as he grows up, he realizes that you're getting old fast, and you've got no excuse to be carefree anymore..." Chris' voice sank, like He was caught in his own delusions, but he quickly shook his head and woke up from the fantasy, "It's scary, isn't it? We should celebrate it."

Jenny clinked glasses with him again, but stopped him from approaching, she smiled and said, "No, no, after today's scare, this thing is so dangerous for me, I need a little time to recover , hahaha—”

Chris exclaimed, "But—some things can't be avoided because of danger——"

In the laughter of the two, this ridiculous little incident officially came to an end, and Jenny and Chris quickly agreed on the two people's meeting and contact plan this year-yes, the two of them She was so busy that she had to make an appointment several months in advance, including the time of the phone call, lest she couldn't find anyone when she called because of the time difference and working hours—just as she had thought beforehand, Ke Reese will fly to the set to accompany her when she is free, and they can no longer respect the unspoken rule of 'no partner', otherwise the two will never have the opportunity to meet in the next eight months to a year .

Since the expected schedule of "Iron Man" is only one month away, the work of packing is not so heavy. After half a month of leisure in Hollywood, Jenny and Ke Reese boarded their private jet, took Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, well-known producer Suzanne Downey along the way, and flew to North Carolina in the Northwest Territories to officially start "Iron Man" "The filming work.
