A/N: Hello! This is gonna be, probably, a short-fic about Cophine and Clone Club. There is some references to characters, that probably don't exist, but I wanted to add. I wanted to thank a friend of mine from tumblr, for two french names, and some translations! My writing isn't the best (check my profile, if you want to know why), but I try to do it the best way that I can. Also, this is my first non-one-shot fanfic. Hope you like it! #SaveDelphine
It was the new leader of DYAD, Dr. Han, that was paying the trip. He managed to putt down topside and neolution, and kept both Project LEDA and Project Castor safe and monitored at DYAD.
When they arrived to the hotel, there was a big room, waiting for them. It had an huge tv, three bathrooms, four couches and five king sized beds. One for Felix and Kira, another to Sarah and Helena, another one to Alison and Donnie and the last one to Cosima and Delphine.
On the next day, Cosima was the first to wake up. She removed Delphine's arm from her body and placed it on her pillow. She got up quietly, and went to take a shower.
When she finished, she heard a lot of noise, and understood that everyone were awake.
''Hey Cos! I was talking with Felix, and what about we go to the pool after lunch?'' Sarah asked.
''Yes. For me it's okay'' Cosima answered and smiled.
''So, it's settle then. Kira, let's go find your swimsuit'' Felix said, looking for her bag.
Cosima approached to her bed, and found Delphine trying to decide what to dress.
''Hey'' Cosima said smiling.
''Bonjour Cosima'' Delphine replied with a smile ''Which one do I choose?'' She asked, showing Cosima two different shirts.
''The white one'' Cosima answered.
''Thank you'' Delphine said ''I have a meeting today with the new leader of DYAD and of the hotel, so we can negotiate to have great holidays. It's after lunch, so you go to the pool, that I will get there when I'm finished''
Cosima's smile now disappeared, she hated the fact that Delphine had a lot of work, and it was even worse when it came on this occasions. Since they got back together, their relationship were still too damaged, they've been working since the shooting, to put things back to normal, but this wasn't the best way to do it. At least there is no more lies between them.
''Oh-Okay'' Cosima said, staring at the floor, hiding her face ''I'll get dress too'' She said walking away.
They went for lunch, and it didn't last much till they finished. Delphine went to her meeting, as she said, and the others went to get their stuff to go to pool.
''Where's my towel Alison? I can't find it'' Donnie said, walking all over the room, searching in a bag to another.
''Your towel is on the wardrobe, Donnie! Stop messing all of our clothes.'' Alison said.
''Thank you, honey. And I'll clean everything.''
Alison rolled her eyes, and started cleaning everything. She knew, if it was Donnie, to do it, it would take to long and he would be asking where everything place, was.
''Sestra Alison, do you have an extra towel for me?'' Helena asked.
''I brought one for you, meathead.'' Sarah said, throwing her a towel.
''Thank you, sestra. Don't call me that'' Helena replied.
''Why everyone comes to me? Why Donnie?'' Alison asked.
''I don't know honey, maybe it's because you're very organized and have always 'extra something'.'' Donnie answered.
Otherwise, Kira was putting her swim glasses with her snack on her bag, and saw her auntie Cosima sitting on the bed alone. She approached her and asked ''Where's Delphine? Is she not coming?''
''She will, a little later. She is on a meeting, so we can have some very nice holidays.'' She answered, not looking at her.
''Auntie Cosima?'' Kira asked, placing her tiny hand on Cosima's cheek, so now she was facing her ''Are you sad?'' She continued ''Is it because Delphine is going late? I know you like her very much''
Cosima froze when she heard what her niece said ''No monkey, I'm not sad. I'm just bored, auntie Alison and uncle Donnie are taking to long talking, and Felix doesn't get out of the bathroom. I tried to rush him, but he told me that beauty doesn't need rush, and that he'll finish, when he's done.'' They both giggled.
''I'm ready to go'' Felix said, getting everyone's attention from the room.
''What took you so long?'' Sarah asked.
''I need to look go, if you know what I mean. There's a lot of people down there, and we never know.'' He said as winked his eye.
''Sure Fee, let's go'' Sarah said.
When they arrived to the pool, all of them placed their stuff on a sun lounger, and Cosima saved one for Delphine. After they all had settle, Cosima and Sarah were watching Helena and Kira that were already inside splashing water everywhere, Alison and Donnie were laying on the sun loungers, after they putted their sunscreen and suntan lotion and Felix were already talking with a guy.
''Let's go join them'' Sarah said.
''Yeah, let me just put my glasses on my bag.'' Cosima replied.
When Cosima reached to her bag, a familiar image came in her direction, with big sunglasses, a beach hat, and a beach pareo involving her hips.
''You came.'' Cosima said ''How was the meeting?''
''Oui Cosima, I told you I would.'' Delphine said ''It was good, to be honest.''
''I saved you a sun lounger.'' Cosima said
''Thank you.'' Delphine said as placed her stuff on it, taking off her hat, sunglasses and pareo. As she sees Cosima walking away, she pushes her, asking for her hand. Cosima looks confused, but accepts it ''Were you going to the pool, by yourself, without the glasses? Do you think that's a good idea?'' She asked with a smile.
''Oh... Right, thanks.'' She replied.
As they reached the pool, they both sat with their legs inside of the water, and took pictures and selfies, with Delphine's waterproof phone. Delphine took one selfie with Cosima, because she didn't have any with her without the glasses. She thought she was beautiful, with or without them, but she liked to see her once in a while without them, because she thought that it showed her true exterior self.
''Do you wanna come inside?'' Cosima asked, forcing a smile.
''After you, chéri.'' Delphine smiled.
After a while, they all got back to eat something. Delphine pulled her hair on a messy ponytail and putted her sunglasses as lied on the sun lounger, for relaxing a bit.
''Hey Kira, I brought your favorite cookies'' Cosima said ''Do you want some?''
''Yes'' Kira answered, coming to her direction, and sitting next to her ''Auntie Cosima, is Delphine my aunt as well?''
This one she was definitely not expecting, she didn't really know what to say, but when she heard Delphine giggling, she relaxed a bit and smiled.
''Well, technically she's not your aunt, because we are not married.'' Cosima replied ''But I'm sure she doesn't mind if you call her auntie Delphine.'' Cosima gave her best cheeky smile looking at Kira and then to Delphine.
Delphine smiled as well ''Don't you mind Delphine?'' Kira asked.
The frenchwoman removed her sunglasses and answered ''Of course I don't mind. I actually like it, since I don't have any nieces, only two nephews.''
Kira smiled and come to sit on Delphine's lap ''Where are your nephews, auntie Delphine?''
''They're in France, with the rest of my family.''
''Auntie Cosima said you're french, I like you accent.'' The three of them smiled ''How old are they?''
''My sisters son, Pierrot is four, and my brother son, Arlequin, is seven.'' She answered.
''They're younger than me. Do you have a lot of sisters like my mommy?'' Kira asked.
''No Kira'' Delphine giggled ''I have three siblings. Twins that are older than me, Laurent and Catherine, and a little sister, Arianne. Laurent was the first one to born, fifteen seconds before Catherine. They're both thirty three, I'm thirty and Arianne is twenty seven.''
''I've never heard of those names, but I like them!'' Kira said ''You've had a big family, now you have an huge!'' The three of them laughed.
''It's getting too hot now, I'm gonna get your t-shirt.'' Cosima said, as she went to Sarah.
''Okay'' Kira said ''Auntie Delphine, today when you were at the meeting, I saw my auntie Cosima crying, or it seem like it.''
Delphine felt goosebumps all over her body, when she heard what Kira have just said. She knew it, that Cosima didn't like the idea of her going to the meeting on this vacations, but like she didn't know what to say, she just walked away.
''Did you asked why she was crying?''
''I asked if she was sad, and she told me that she was only bored, because she didn't have anything to do, while she was waiting for us.'' Kira said ''I think she was sad, because you arrived late.''
''I'm going to talk to her, Kira.'' Delphine said ''And I didn't want to arrive late, but I really had to go to that meeting. Do you understand?''
''Of course. I just don't understand why she was sad, she should understand it too.''
''She does, but adults can make things more complicated...''
''Well, they shouldn't!'' They both laughed
Cosima came back with Kira's t-shirt, and also brought her hat.
''Thank you, auntie Cosima.''
''You're welcome, monkey.''
''I'm going to see mommy'' She went, and left the two alone.
''So, has Kira finished all of her questions?'' Cosima asked giggling.
''Yes, she did.'' She laughed as well ''She's a very smart kid''
''Yes, obvs. Sarah is her mother.'' Cosima said ''I'm going to sit at the pool, I promised Sarah, that I would watch Kira and Helena, while she tries to find Felix. Do you wanna come?''
''Oui, let me just put some sunscreen.''
Cosima sat on the pool, and watched Kira and Helena competing, to see who were the best swimmer.
Few seconds later, Delphine sat next to her. She could see the sadness on her eyes, Cosima was definitely not okay, and even worse, it was probably her fault. She placed her hand on Cosima's cheek, turning her face, so that her eyes could catch hers ''What's wrong, Cosima?'' she could see her cheeks starting to blush, and the pain on her eyes. As she didn't answered, Delphine continued ''You've been different since I talked to you this morning.'' She paused ''Kira told me you were crying... What happened?'' She said almost as a whisper.
Cosima grabbed Delphine's hand, and took her from her face, placing on the blonde's lap. ''I'm fine'' She said as she got up and went to sit on the border of the sun lounger, with her elbows on her legs, supporting the weight of her head. Delphine seeing Cosima's reaction, got out of the water as well, and went to her. When she got ther she keeled in front of her, so that she could look at her.
''Talk to me, Cosima'' She said sweetly.
Cosima couldn't handle being on her position anymore, she didn't know if she was being rude or not, for doing this. As time passed, she would get even more lost on her thoughts, she wanted Delphine so badly, what ended up on getting on her actual nervous state. She couldn't contain her tears anymore.
''I know you're always around, but it seems like you aren't. You're always working, or taking important phone calls, or paperwork. And I also know, that none of this is your fault, but then I think if there will be time for me on your life, and the answer that I always reach, is no.''
''Cosima, you're always first to me, if you need me, I will be there for you, even if you just need to see me, or to talk, I will be there'' Delphine paused ''When I'm at work, I'm always thinking about you mon amour, I'm always thinking if you're okay, or what are you doing, and I love when you come to my office just to say 'hi' to me.'' A tear fell from her eyes ''It's my favorite part of the day.'' She continued ''I'm sorry if I'm always so busy, but I will keep trying to have more time for you. Je te promets.''
When she finished, she leaned in, grabbing both of her cheeks, pressing their lips together, on a very brief brush. Delphine got up to sit behind Cosima, pulling her down, so that they could lay together, intertwined. This was one of the favorite things, that Delphine knew, that Cosima would love. Cuddling. Cosima always said that Delphine was more a kisser than a cuddler, since she was french, and Delphine always thought 'Americans and their sterotypes', but she quite agreed with that. But in fact, both of them were happy for just having each others presence.
