Rating: T
Pairing: Helen/Other female character.
Spoilers/Timeline: Post Eulogy because of who's there and who's not but no specific spoilers.
Summary: There's a weekend guest at the Sanctuary and she brings out new sides of Helen, confusing the rest of the gang. Humorous, basically no-plot piece of fun. Femslash.
Length: 4 chapters, +4000 words in total. I'll post the first two chapters today and more tomorrow.
A/N: Amanda has implied in several interviews she wouldn't mind Helen having a female lover. That sent my imagination to overdrive and I just HAD TO write something.
This is what I came up with. It might be bit OOC at times but it's all for fun.
I don't usually create new characters but somehow this story required it.
English still isn't my first language so I apologize for all the mistakes you will find in this story.
EDIT 5/4/2011 Forgot to thank my roommate M! Sorry! This story wouldn't exist without her. She came up with the name Gina and the story kinda started to build around that. So, Thank You!
Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1 New Girl
"Hello," Will greeted as he opened the door and found a charming brunette in her forties standing at their doorstep late one Friday evening.
"Is Helen home?" the woman asked with a polite smile. She looked tired, Will noticed, like she had been traveling all day, but she was still radiant even in her crumpled shirt and simple jeans. Her hair was swept back in a clumsy ponytail and she had no make-up on. There was something in her face that made Will think she shouldn't be beautiful yet she was. There was nothing soft about her except the little smile which lit up her whole face. Her green eyes sparkled with something that made her eyes look even younger than her body. Without those eyes and that smile she would have looked very different, Will was sure.
"Is she expecting you?" he managed to ask before they heard the revealing clicking of Magnus' high heels on the marble floor.
"Gina!" Helen greeted with a wide smile as soon as she saw them. "What a lovely surprise."
"I was in town and thought I'd pay a visit," the younger, well at least Will assumed she was younger than 159, woman said as they embraced.
He had known Magnus for two years and she'd never been into hugs so the way those two seemed to just mold together with no space between their bodies seemed rather odd to him.
Will cleared his throat self-consciously, trying to decide if he should wait to be introduced or just leave without a sound since it was obvious these two hadn't seen for a while. The decision was made for him when Helen broke the embrace and turned to smile at him. It wasn't really that long for a friendly hug, just... tighter.
"Gina," she started, her other arm still around the younger woman. "Meet Will Zimmerman, my protégé."
Will offered his hand with what he hoped to be a friendly smile. "Pleased to meet you, miss..."
"Just Gina," the woman said and shook his hand.
"Gina," he repeated and nodded. "I'm sorry if I appeared rude, I didn't-"
"Don't worry about it." She waved it off with a little smile and Will nodded.
"Well..." Will started and pushed his hands in his pockets. "I'll leave you to it. Looks like you have some catching up to do."
"Indeed we do," Helen said and the women shared a smile which seemed to tell so many things to them yet nothing at all to Will. He was seriously starting to wonder if his skill of making observations had suddenly disappeared. But then again, this was Magnus. Nobody could read her.
"Uh... Have a nice evening," he said and when the women acknowledged him with nods, turned around and headed for the kitchen, deciding he really needed a cup of coffee despite the late hour.
"First things first," he heard Helen say as the women reached the staircase. "You look tired. Let me show you my room."
Will reached the doorway which lead from the entrance hall to the corridor and was surprised to notice Kate and Henry were there, sneaking behind the short wall, obviously listening and observing what happened with Helen and Gina. Henry was crouching and Kate was looking over him.
When Will opened his mouth to say something, Kate shushed him and yanked him behind her so that they all could see the women climbing up the stairs. There were now three heads in a neat vertical row peeking from the doorway and if the women had even glanced at their way, they would have noticed the trio but they were having a conversation in hushed voices and didn't appear to notice anything else around them.
Was that... Will frowned and tried to squint. It couldn't be. Damn contact lenses. Days like these he missed his glasses.
"Who's hand is that?" Kate asked, obviously looking at the same thing.
"Which one?" Henry helpfully asked.
"The one on the barbie girl's ass, Hank."
"It's Magnus'," Will said. Well, at least he wasn't the only one seeing that. Guess it would have been a bad sign of his mental health had it been a hallucination.
"Seriously?" Henry asked and leaned forward to take a better look but Kate grabbed the back of his shirt to stop him from falling down.
"Yup," she said. "Guest rooms aren't that way. I take it she's sleeping with the doc, then?"
"Depends what you mean by sleeping, I guess," Will answered.
"Does it?"
"Right..." Will frowned. "Probably doesn't."
"Why do you call her barbie girl?" Henry asked and straightened up, forcing Kate to take a step back which forced Will to take a step back. "I don't see the resemblance."
"I agree," Will said. "Barbie is blonde, for one thing. And she has more... curves."
"Yeah," Henry agreed. "Barbie is like double D and that chick can't be more than B."
"With push-up bra," Will finished the sentence for him
"She looks a little plastic to me," Kate shrugged. "That's all."
A/N: I know it's bit short and random but please, let me know what you think. P.S. chapter two is better.
