Happy reading and please leave a REVIEW with what you think!
"Momma, did you sign the permission slip for the field trip yet?" Jude asked as he walked into the kitchen where the rest of his family was already having breakfast.
Tess reached out her arm towards the end of the table where the permission slip was, signaling for Jude to get it for her.
"I'm sorry I forgot, bud." She apologized before she put her autograph at the bottom of the paper.
"It's okay, I'm just glad you and Mom even let me go!" The tween confessed with excitement in his voice. His moms alway had the tendency to be a little overprotective at times. This trip was to the woods, far away from home and he was glad that his moms trustedhim enough to let him go.
"Well, Miss Sanchez said that she's keeping an extra good eye on you." Stef said, walking to the fridge to take out some orange juice before sitting down again.
"I'm almost 13... I'm responsible, mom!" Jude said in return.
Stef and Tess exchanged an amused look and continued their breakfast.
"Oh, moms! Can I go see a movie with Sally and Emma after school?" Marianna asked, looking up from her phone with big puppy eyes, knowing that Tess couldn't say no to them.
"Uuh..." Tess looked at her wife, looking for conformation in them.
"Alright, but, be back before dinner... Don't think we forgot that it's your turn to set the table!" Stef warned.
Tess pointed at Marianna with her fork that had a piece of scrambled egg on it "and put that phone down... You're eating, young lady."
Marianna quickly typed a few more words and pressed send before swiftly putting the phone on the table, screen down.
"Can I come with you guys?" Jesus asked his twin sister, earning a confused look from everyone else at the table.
"Why would you want to go out with a bunch of girls? They're probably going to see a soppy chick flick." Brandon asked, earning a warning look from his moms.
They loved having their whole family together. They had always known that they wanted to have a big family but, this had exceeded their dreams.
When they met each other, Stef already had Brandon. About a year later Marianna and Jesus joined the family, things stayed like that for a long time, until Tess suddenly brought home a girl named Callie who had a brother named Jude... Long story short... Now they have 5 children. And it was hard sometimes. Hard to make time for each other. Hard to communicate the right way. Hard to keep track of everything. Really hard.
"Jesus only wants to come with us because of Emma... He has a major crush on her!" Marianna rolled her eyes.
Jude began singing, "Jesus and Emma sittin' in a tree..."
Jesus reached for Jude's hoodie an pulled over his head in a playful manner.
"In other news, the new principal starts today." Callie spoke. She was never keen on the former principal of Anchor beach and she was exited to see who would take her place.
Marianna swallowed her last bite and then answered, "Yeah, she's from Baltimore! She just move to town... Hope she's better than that snobby fart, Miss Porter."
When Monte's name was mentioned Tess and Stef both shifted in their seat a little, not daring to look at each other. Scared that the kids would notice something if they did.
After breakfast, all the kids got out of the house and went to school. Leaving Stef and Tess to finally be alone.
Stef was washing the last plate in the sink when she felt Her wife's arms wrap around her from behind. She could feel Tess' head resting on her back.
"Hmmm, I have been thinking. Our anniversary is coming up in a few weeks... Maybe we could have some 'alone' time?" Tess said, her hands now roaming Stef's sides.
Shef took a deep breath in and waited a few seconds to let it out with a big sigh. She reached for Tess' hands and pried them off her body before turning around and looking into Tess' eyes.
"I don't think that's..." Stef thought of a better way to say what she was about to say and continued, "I don't think I'm ready for that, Tess."
Now it was Tess' turn to sigh. She was so tired of this mess.
"ONCE!" She suddenly said loudly. "I made a mistake ONCE!" She added in a defeated tone.
Stef's eyes were starting to tear up and she was about to walk away but, one of Tess' hands stopped her by holding on to her wrist.
"Please just, let me go. I need time, Tess." She said, a tear now escaped her eye.
Tess reached out to wipe away Stef's tear with her thumb. "Stef, I need to know that you're going to forgive me." She spoke.
Stef nodded, "I will... I just... Every Time you touch me, or hold me. All I can think about is her. How you did the same thing to her. And it feels disgusting, Tess. I need time!"
Tess let go of her wife's wrist with a slight force, "I said sorry a million times, I try to talk to you, Monte even quit her JOB so you would feel more secure. WHAT more do you want me to do?" She asked.
"Can you go back in time and stop yourself from fucking your boss, Tess?" Stef asked bluntly the tone in her voice was spitting fire at her wife.
No answer came from Tess. She was defeated and she had no idea how she could fix this.
"That's what I thought." Stef said, walking away from her wife to get ready for work.
Tess grabbed her keys from the counter and walked out of the house, slamming the door on her way out.
The next chapter connects to this one...
