"Waverly, I love you, but come on, hurry up." Nicole whines from the front of the homestead. She packed the car hours ago, now she was just waiting on Waverly and Rosita again. The younger of the two, running around the house, making sure they didn't forget anything. Wynonna and her two year old daughter, stand outside the homestead laughing at Nicole's expense. The drive to Victoria, would take over 13 hours, and Nicole wanted to leave at least 3 hours ago. Leaning against the car, the red head sighs, waiting for Waverly, who was once again checking to make sure that they had everything. Wynette, runs towards the red head, who picks the toddler up. Holding her on her hip, the older woman smiles, peppering the girls face in kisses. "Your aunty is lucky I love her." She mutters causing the young child to laugh. The toddler looks up before snuggling into her arms. "Okay we can go." Waverly says from the front porch. "Can we really?" Sarcasm drips from the red heads voice, causing a chuckle from Wynonna, as she takes her daughter, placing her in her car seat. "So before any actual driving can be done, we all need to fuel up, so shall we meet at the gas station, just outside of town?" Wynonna asks softly, turning to everyone. "Sounds like a plan Wy." Waverly states, turning to Nicole who nods, as Rosita gets in the car, waiting on Wynonna, as the couple drive off.
They lean against the driver's side of the truck, Waverly tucked into the side of Nicole, as they wait for Wynonna and Rosita, at the said gas station. The younger of the two sighs softly, nuzzling closer. "Are you ready to finally see the ocean?" Nicole asks, pulling the woman closer. "I'm happy to finally get out of the triangle." The brunette states, looking around, her grin growing at the sight of her sister's truck. "Finally time to get on the road." Nicole says, as the Rosita fuels up Wynonna's truck. "So tonight and tomorrow we are staying in Revelstroke, BC, which is only a five hour drive. Is that the plan?" She inquires, asking her girlfriend. The planner nods, before hoping up into the car, her eyes scanning the map one last time.
Pulling away from the station, the smaller of the two reaches over and takes Nicole's hand, bringing the other hand up to kiss the back of it. "Finally on the road." Waverly mumbles, shifting in her seat to face Nicole. The red head, places her hand on the brunettes thigh, rubbing it slightly. Waverly selects the music, singing along, Nicole joining in occasionally, as she drives. About two and half hours into the trip, Waverly's phone begins to ring, hitting speaker, she answers. "Hey Wy, what's up?"
"Hey Waves, can we pull over? I need to change my daughter." Wynonna's voice comes over the phone. "Okay, we'll pull over." Nicole replies, before pulling the car over. The taller woman stretches, before walking over to Wynonna's truck. The toddler now changed, runs around on the grass, beside where they pulled over. "Nicky!" The toddler calls, before running towards the red head, who sweeps the toddler up into her arms, peppering her face in kisses. "I 'anna go 'ith you." The toddler pouts, looking up at the red head. The dark haired toddler pulls her best puppy dog eyes, towards her mother and aunt. "Please Mama?" She pleads. Wynonna sighs, before turning to Nicole. "Can she go with you and Waves?" She questions, causing the red head to look down at the smaller version of her mother. "Yeah she can, I just need her car seat. Wynnie, go tell aunty Waverly, you are coming with us." The toddler runs off, as soon as she is placed on the ground. "Thanks Nicole, I don't think I could have handled a meltdown." Wynonna replies, helping the red head put the car seat into her own truck. The red head plucks the toddler from her girlfriend's arms, to place her in the car seat. "Okay baby, you need to behave for Aunty Wave and Aunty Nicky, okay?" Wynonna asks of her daughter. "Okay Mama." The two year old responds.
The driving continues, the toddler in the back seat having requested Disney, sings off key, but laughs as she does. Nicole joins in more than once, the toddler falling silent when Nicole begins singing 'Go The Distance.' The officer glances beside her, finding Waverly asleep, and chances a glance towards the backseat. The toddler once wide awake, now sleeping peacefully. Nicole can't help the soft smile that graces her face, and her heart swooning. She turns the music down slightly, humming along to the familiar tunes.
Arriving in Revelstroke, the officer finds the cabin in which they would be staying for the night. Stepping out of the car, she walks over to the passenger side of the car, shaking Waverly slightly. "Baby, we're here." She whispers into the younger girl's ear, placing a soft kiss on her cheek. The brown eyes of her girlfriend flutter open, before turning to kiss Nic softly. "I'll grab our bags, if you want to grab sleeping beauty?" The brunette asks, pointing to the back seat. Nodding, she slips into the back seat, unbuckling the toddler, without waking her. Placing the toddler's head on her shoulder, Nicole slips out of the car and towards the cabin, where Wynonna is unlocking the door. "How long has she been out for?" Wyn asks, pointing to her daughter. "She fell asleep about an hour ago, her and Waverly both actually." Which gets a chuckle from the older Earp. Placing the toddler on one of the beds, the officer covers her with a blanket, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Sleep tight, sweet girl."
Later that night, finds the women and toddler, walking to a local restaurant. The toddler clinging to Nicole's shoulder, Nicole's free hand interwoven with Waverly's, whose head is resting on her shoulder. The toddler refusing to let go of Nicole, determined to sit in her lap. Nicole holds the toddler in her lap while they wait for their food, as the food arrives Nicole stands to place Wynnie into the high chair, causing the toddlers bottom lip to quiver. "No, you can sit on my lap again, once everyone has eaten, okay?" Nicole jumps in before a meltdown could happen. The toddler frowns, but stays in the high chair, as Nicole feeds herself and the toddler.
Due to my original one shot being longer than intended, I have put it as a short story instead!
