It has been years since Bea has been outside prison walls since she has gotten to Wentworth correctional for trying to kill her bastard of an ex-husband. That day still fresh in her mind as she walks through the gates of the prison, not to be an inmate, but somehow Franky worked a deal with the help of Bridget, Allie, and a few of the officers who have seen the change in her. She did things that she had to do to survive in this place, and she had women who have come and gone, and there were some who looked up to her. Was she letting them down by leaving the very place that gave her the confidence that she lacked when she was with Harry. All she heard from him was "You aren't good enough. You'll never amount to anything. You're only here to fuck me and feed me, nothing more." So when she was able to get away from that and live the life she was supposed to, regardless of the situation she was in, since she stepped foot into the prison, she didn't look back and she didn't a trace of this dead beat ex-husband again. She was being lead by the two officers who had the most faith in her, Will Jackson and Vera Bennett; they all have done things together to just get by in this place. Top dog status took a toll on Bea, and she felt relived when that day came and she stepped down after she was with Allie, that is when she knew she didn't need it anymore.
Once she was outside the gate, she turned to face Will and Vera and nodded her head once. She was finally a free woman after twenty years in that place. All her girls have come and gone and she was the only original from that group left in the place that has given her some lifelong friends and also some of her hardest times. She lost her daughter why in that very place, and she has never let go of the guilt she felt when it happened. Has she ever been able to see why they let her go? In her mind, she didn't deserve it by the way her daughter went, but she knew, she couldn't beat herself up over it. Once she turns to walk towards the ride waiting for her, she sees the blonde, the brunette and her lover step from the car. It has been a while since she seen any of them and she felt a sense of joy take over her body. She didn't run, but she was walking fast enough to make it seem like she was sprinting and wanted to get the hell away from that place as fast as she could. Bypassing her friend and her girlfriend, Bea went straight to Allie, and hugged her in a huge embrace but yet sensual embrace as she has missed the familiar touch of the woman who changed her life.
"I have missed you so much Allie" Bea's voice barely above a whisper as she buries her face into her girlfriends neck. Getting lost in the moment Allie felt the tears well up finally having Bea back into her arms "I missed you too, so much you don't even know. I hope you like the place I picked out for us." Bea pulled away slowly and smiled with her tear stained cheeks being exposed and Allie brought her hands up and wiped the tears away with a smile before leaning in and pressing her soft lips to Bea's cheek. Bea getting lost in the moment hears a cough from Franky and looks away from Allie and walks over and wraps her arms around one of her best friends. "I missed ya Red, it's good to finally have you home." Hearing the word home hit Bea like a ton of bricks and she couldn't help but feel the tears form again and Franky poking fun at Bea "Now don't go soft on me Red, and how about we let Blondie get you home" Nodding her head, Bea gives Bridget a quick hug and thanking her as well before turning to Allie and they don't say a thing as she walks around the car and hops into the passenger side once Franky and Bridget climb into the car next to Allie's and Bea lets the seatbelt go over her body and she straps herself in and glances out the window forcing a smile onto her face nodding at Franky and Bridget before her focus was interrupted by the sound of Allie's voice breaking the silence.
"Are you ready to go home?" Allie asked with a bright smile on her face, just happy to have her girlfriend out knowing this would take a while for Bea to adjust to being on the outside.
"I am, just I am not sure how to react at the moment." The red head feeling completely taken back by the love from the younger woman ever sense they have met and that has continued even though she has been out for about ten years.
Allie brings her hand over and places it onto Bea's as they make their way to the place that Allie has chose for them hoping this day would come where Bea would be out of prison and they would be together outside those walls that caused so much hurt but yet, it let their love blossom into something that Bea was never used to at the time. The car ride was relatively quiet aside from the small talk that was going on between Bea and Allie. Allie wanting to ask a couple of questions but nothing too serious as she knew it might have been too soon for them to talk about. After what seemed like forever, they pull up into a complex and Allie drives around until she pulls into a parking spot in front of a bottom floor flat.
"We are here Bea" she said as she turns the car off and she unbuckles herself and turns herself towards Bea to give her a reassuring smile "It will get easier babe, I know it is all new and you being here will be different but I am not going anywhere. I haven't yet and I won't be" Allie leans in and she watches as Bea faces her and their lips lightly meet with each other and Bea mumbled against her lips. "Take me inside and I can't wait to lay on an actual bed and be with you without eyes and cops being around." Both of them pulling away from one another, they slip from the car and Allie leads Bea into the flat and starts showing her around. A sense of joy and relaxation goes over the red head as she looks around and Allie takes her to the place she couldn't wait to be, the bedroom. Bea, without even thinking strips from her pants and she slowly crawls onto the bed and pats the spot beside her once she sinks into the mattress that was on the bed and Allie couldn't resist but crawl into bed with the woman she has been waiting to hold for ten years.
"This feels like home and thank you for not leaving me when you got out. That was the biggest thing I was concerned about." Bea's tone barely above a whisper and Allie leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before speaking in about the same tone as Bea
"I love you and I wasn't going anywhere. I did all of this for us. I wanted you to have a place if by miracle, you got out." A cheeky grin pulling at Allie's face and Bea felt a wave of exhaustion take over her as she mumbles out as she fights the sleep.
"I love you too Allie." And for the first time in twenty years Bea felt a sense of calm aside from when Allie was in prison with her and she fell asleep with Allie by her side as she starts her new life with the woman who has changed hers. And Allie watching over the red head as she has a few things planned for Bea to try to get her settled into her new routine of not being in prison and their life together as an actual couple.
