Introduction: Like so many of you, I have spent many minutes surmising what Natalia and Olivia's "first" kiss will be like. Again, like so many of you I consider the kiss that Olivia laid on Natalia for the purpose of letting her know what everyone thought by Emma's presentation of My Two Mommies as not their official first kiss since it was to prove a point rather than out of mutual want, need, love, etc. This will be a series of one-shots with all the same theme of what I envision their first kiss to be like. I don't know how many stories I will write, I have a few ideas in mind, therefore I'm tentatively calling this 5 First Kisses. All will have their own individual title.

In the first story, Rafe has not yet been released from the halfway house. Olivia and Emma are still living at The Beacon.

A Dream to Build a Kiss On

Candlelight enveloped the farmhouse livingroom in a warm glow, bathing everything in delicate hues of yellows and created dancing shadows on the walls. The Virgin Mary appeared to sway in her place, thoroughly enjoying the rhythm of the music playing softly on the stereo. Dozens of freshly picked wildflowers in all shades of the rainbow appeared to spring to life out of the vases they now called home in. The whole room filled with a heavenly aroma made up from a combination of the wildflowers mixed delicately with the subtlety of the scented candles.

Olivia took in a deep breath, thoroughly taking in the scene she had created. It was perfect. Everything was absolutely perfect. Emma was spending the night with Jodi, and Natalia would be home any minute from work. The dark blonde had let herself into the farmhouse with the key that she still had. Natalia didn't even consider asking for it back. To her it seemed ridiculous for Olivia to even ask if she wanted it back. They hadn't broken up. They were just taking things slow.

Olivia had given herself the afternoon off, telling Natalia she wasn't feeling well. Knowing the brunette would immediately assume it was her heart, the older woman had a story planned out.

"I promise it's not my heart" Olivia pleaded.

The younger woman's eyes were still full of worry as the other woman smiled brightly assuring her it was just a bad headache, and all she needed was some rest.

"You're sure?"

Olivia sighed contentedly feeling the love pour out of Natalia straight into her. "I'm positive. It's just a headache. I didn't sleep well last night, and I think its just catching up with me."

That part was true, she had spent a sleepless night coming up with her surprise she had planned out. She didn't want to forget anything, for the vision she had come to her in a dream. A wondrous, sensual dream of their first true kiss that filled her with a warm glow throughout her entire body, much like the way the room she was standing in now. She hated waking up from it, but at the same time it gave her hope and a fantastic idea of how to woo the woman she loved so deeply.

Olivia wasn't expecting, wanting, or even thinking about sex. She merely wanted a night of romance, a night of cuddling, and possibly a night of kissing. The dark blonde wanted to kiss Natalia so badly her body ached just at the thought of those full soft lips against her own. Every time she looked at the younger woman her longing would nearly choke her, always making her catch her breath to the point where she was sure her feelings were sitting on the surface for all to bear witness to. She didn't want to scare or pressure Natalia, but this waiting, this yearning was nearly killing her.

Olivia imagined in a lustful moment of pushing everything off her desk and leaning into Natalia, ravishing her with deep needful kisses, bruising both of their lips, and tangling up in each other's arms. Knowing the younger woman, and knowing her limits, Olivia knew that this vision would have to wait. Besides, as she surmised, Natalia deserved to be swept off her feet, and that was what she was intending to do tonight.

After giving the living room one more glance, the green-hazel eyed beauty slipped into the kitchen where the table was set for two. An elegant, yet tastefully simple tablecloth covered the surface. In the center, two long candles rested in Natalia's best candlesticks, illuminating a set of her best dishes. Not having enough time to cook, Olivia had ordered a gourmet meal expertly prepared by her chefs at The Beacon. A bottle of Merlot patiently sat open and breathing on the counter. There was no intention of getting the other woman drunk, or even tipsy. No, Olivia wanted to move Natalia forward with her mind clear. No regrets were high on Olivia's list of priorities with this woman. The last thing she wanted was to end up taking a step, or more, backwards.

A key in the door shook the dark blonde out of her revelry. It was 6pm, and she was right on time. Olivia slipped silently back into the living room to wait for her. As the brunette emerged through the door, she immediately noticed she must not be alone. The flickering of the candlelight brought her attention to the table, then it hit her - the incredible smells. A glorious mixture of food, candles, and flowers enveloped her in a most heavenly way. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, capturing all the complexities floating around her. Olivia was here, she knew it. Even if she had still been with Frank, Natalia knew he couldn't have come up with this on his own. How long had she been dating Olivia, she questioned for a moment. Frank had even admitted to her that Olivia had been behind some of the special things he had done for the dark beauty.

Natalia began to blush seeing how much trouble Olivia had gone through, and she placed her fingers to her lips as a shy smile crept its way across her face revealing deep dimples. She was nervous. She knew the older woman was waiting for her in the next room, and she was terribly nervous all of a sudden. Streaks of excitement shot through her body like electricity. She could almost feel the line that connected the two of them together beginning to pull her into the living room. "Olivia" she huskily breathed as she began to make her way to her.

"Oh my god" slipped softly from her lips as she took in the beautiful surroundings.

Olivia stood still in the middle of the room, unable to move. Her eyes locked onto Natalia the moment she entered. For a moment, everything else disappeared. Time slowed down, all she could see was Natalia.

The Latina woman slowly and tentatively stepped toward her. "Olivia, I can't..." Her voice caught as happy tears glazed over her eyes.

Initially beaming from ear to ear, Olivia's face suddenly turned to concern. Oh my god, she can't what? Please tell me I haven't pushed too far! Olivia thought to herself. Gently she asked, "Can't what?" Natalia's eyes dipped a moment toward the floor, her hand covering her lips once again. Fear jumped into Olivia's throat. "Natalia, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to push you. I just wanted to surprise you." Desperation clung to her words as they rushed quickly from her lips. Still deep brown eyes clung to the floor, and Olivia could see a few tears drop silently to the ground. "You deserve to be romanced. I really wasn't expecting anything. I just want to make you happy..."

Cutting her off, Natalia suddenly looked up. "Stop. Please." Olivia's heart sank. Then she saw the dimples. "I love it. I was going to say I can't believe you did this, but I suddenly couldn't talk." The brunette laughed lightly, "You took my breath away."

Both women stood silently for a moment. Smiling shyly at each other, they weren't sure what to do, or what came next. Seeing the other wasn't going to make the first move, Natalia bridged the slight gap between them and pulled Olivia into her for a grateful embrace. Letting out the breath she felt she had been holding onto since Natalia had first walked in, the dark blonde breathed in the scent of this woman she held onto so tightly. By far you are the best smelling part of this room, Olivia thought as she took another deep breath in. She gently caressed the back of the brunette's neck, not wanting to pull away from the most amazing person she had ever met. If holding you is all that happens tonight, I have truly been given a gift, she thought to herself as she held tightly to the brunette in her arms.

Natalia slowly pulled back, but didn't quite end the hug. She merely wanted to look into the sweepingly gorgeous eyes of the woman she held onto. "Hi" she whispered shyly with a deep dimpled grin.

"Hi you" was whispered back in an equally shy manner.

Before Olivia realized what was happening, Natalia began to lean in toward her, toward her lips. Her heart began to race as full rich lips came ever closer. The first sensation was softness, then all at once her body came to life as every molecule, no - every atom seemed to come alive. It felt as if fire was going to shoot through her fingertips igniting the entire room in flames. Everything she had hoped for, everything she dreamed of she was feeling at this moment. This kiss, this magnificent kiss was everything Olivia had waited for and yet so much more than she had anticipated.

A screeching, pulsing sound ripped through the room like a crazed maniac was screaming through the streets. Olivia smashed her hand angrily at the alarm clock that had so rudely, and nastily tore her out of her perfect dream. "Natalia" she breathed out as she sank back into bed. For weeks she had been having the same dream, and for weeks she had been woken up just as their lips met. Though their relationship seemed to be moving forward, however slowly, Olivia was getting more and more frustrated by their lack of physical contact, and the dreams were certainly not helping. Reaching up, she brought her fingers to her lips as she closed her eyes and tried to recreate the feelings she had been experiencing just moments before. Tracing the outline of her full lips she could almost feel Natalia's on hers, and for a moment she could almost smell her intoxicating scent in the room.

"Mommy?"

Her eyes shot open and she looked to the side of her bed. "Yes, baby?" she asked with sleep still heavy in her throat.

Emma leaned over the side with an innocent look on her young face. "I forgot to tell you that Jodi asked if I could go over to her house tonight and have a sleep over. Can I?"

Olivia thought for a moment, then a wide grin graced her stunning face. "I think that's an excellent idea."
