Alex Cabot sat on the couch in her darkened living room with a bottle of cheap wine. She'd finished the good stuff earlier and found the cheaper bottle in the pantry. For the first time since they had parted, Alex allowed herself to cry. It was a gut wrenching, soul cleansing cry followed by bad wine which had left her slightly drunk and very horny.
She picked up the phone and debated calling Janice. They were after all supposed to be having wild sex at that very moment. She took a look at herself, wearing her ratty old robe, the one her mind reminded her Olivia had bought her years ago. Underneath she had on her pajamas and an old pair of Olivia's socks. She decided she didn't feel like getting dolled up in her new Victoria 's Secrets panties and bra, so she opted to call Janice just to check in.
"Janice? It's Alex. Are you in bed?"
"Yes, but I'm not asleep. Just reading a book. What are you doing? Do you have a cold, you sound sort of stuffy?"
Alex sniffed. "Uh, just some allergies. I'm sorry about cancelling tonight, but I look forward to spending tomorrow with you."
"Me too Alex." They lapsed into silence. "Hey Alex?"
"Yes?"
"Is Teegan spending all weekend at Olivia's?"
Alex smiled. "Yes. Why?"
"Well…since we didn't get together tonight, I was wondering if maybe we might tomorrow night? If I could…stay?"
Without giving herself time to back out, Alex replied in the affirmative.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Why do you sound so surprised?"
"Alex, we've been going out for a month and to be honest, I don't usually wait this long to seal the deal, so to speak. Hell, I've never been with anybody who wanted to wait!"
Alex felt slightly miffed and a tad hurt that Janice didn't seem to think she was worth the wait. A voice in her head reminded her that she and Olivia had gone to bed shortly after they started dating, but she quickly told the voice in her head that that was only because they'd spent two years dancing around the issue and essentially dating without dating, so really, they'd waited much longer than two weeks.
And finally she reminded herself that this woman wasn't Olivia and that it wasn't fair to compare the two. And she was currently horny.
"Hey Janice? Ever had phone sex?"

Later that night
Alex was hugging "her" side of the bed thinking about what had happened earlier. She and Olivia had often engaged in phone sex when the detective was on a stake out or undercover, so Alex had no ill will toward the practice, however, at her moment of climax with Janice on the other end of the line urging her on, it was Olivia's face she saw, and that had caused her grief. She was grateful that Janice had been in the moment and not noticed when Alex had stopped responding.
As she lay on "her" side of the bed, she realized that in the entire time she'd been separated from Olivia, never once had she slept on what was Olivia's "side" of the bed. Glancing at the clock she realized it was almost 5 and she really needed to get some sleep.

Benson Household
Olivia was currently watching her daughter try to make a perfectly round pancake. The younger version of Alex was trying to learn how to cook, so she wouldn't, in her words, starve. It was well known that Alex didn't have the best culinary skills, and Olivia had done most of the cooking.
Teegan kept stealing glances at her other mother, whom she sometimes referred to as OM , and knew the knowledge that her blonde mother had probably slept with ol' Janice was hitting her hard. Teegan doubted that her mother could possible go through with it, but she didn't think her OM needed to know that.
"Is ol' wheat Penny horning in on our time together today?"
"Teegan." Olivia's voice was an admonishment. "Actually, yes, if that's ok?"
"Mom!"
"Teegan, she just wants to go shopping with us. She's really trying with you. Please?"
Teegan finally relented and served up the lone pancake she'd made.

Janice had brought Alex a bagel and a latte that morning. The blonde had greeted her with a kiss and eagerly accepted the offering.
Janice tried to get frisky with Alex, but the blonde handed her a paintbrush and pointed her in the direction of the door. She saw that Alex was going to re-paint it the same color it was, blue and talked to her about changing colors.
"But I like it blue."
"Yeah, but you know, new chapter of your life and all. Maybe you'd want to change the color? Sort of…symbolic."
Alex considered what she said and then sort of shrugged. "What other color would you suggest?"
Janice took her hand. "I don't know. Let's go to Homo Depot and find a color."

At the Mall
Teegan was currently rolling her eyes behind Penny's back as Olivia was trying to shoot her a menacing stare, and failing. The girl was looking for some new jeans and had gone into a store. Penny had followed and picked a couple of pairs for Teegan, all of which Teegan had flatly refused to even try on.
Now they were trying to decide on something for lunch and since Penny was a vegetarian, it was difficult at best in the burger and grease pit of the food court. Teegan was of course like her mother's; ravenous meat eaters.
They finally settled on a burger joint that also offered salads and olive oil as a dressing. Penny tried to engage the girl and Olivia tried to pitch in as much as possible, but it was still a challenge and by the end of the day all three were just happy to be back at Olivia's house.
Teegan disappeared into her room and began texting one of her friends while Olivia and Penny sat on the couch discussing the day and lamenting on how much work it would take to win Teegan over.
"Don't take it personally Penny. This is the first time she's seen either one of us, Alex and me, with somebody else romantically. If it makes you feel any better, she's not too keen on the woman Alex is currently dating either."
Penny smiled. "It's rough on them, especially at this age. As long as her mom likes me, everything else will work itself out."
She pulled Olivia down for a kiss and deepened it. Olivia nervously pulled back and glanced down the hall.
"Uh, Penny…maybe we should uh, you know, stop?"
Penny gave a slight nod. "Because of Teegan?" Olivia nodded. "So I guess me staying the night is out of the question?"
"Huh?" Olivia was surprised by the request. They hadn't really talked about the physical aspect of their relationship. "Uh, wow. I didn't realize you were ready to move to the next step."
Penny laughed. "Olivia, I was ready the minute you walked into my office requesting information on Molly Shan."
Olivia eased off of the other woman. "Oh. Wow. Uh, look Penny, I definitely wouldn't mind getting naked with you, but Teegan's here. I mean, Alex and I haven't discussed the rules for sleepovers, you know?"
Penny nodded and then ran her hand down Olivia's stomach and stopped just on top of her belt buckle.
"I can come back after she goes to bed and leave before morning."
Olivia's eyes widened. "But it's our first time. That seems kind of…I don't know…."
Penny cocked her head. "Olivia, I don't need heart's a flowers and romance; I just need to be fucked by you. In case you haven't noticed, I'm well past the age of consent and courtship."
To emphasize her point she slipped her hand down into Olivia's pants and gently stroked her lower abdomen. Olivia swallowed hard.
"She's in bed by 10. I'll call you."

Cabot Household
Alex and Janice had spent the day painting the front door green, cutting the lawn and washing Alex's car. It was just a normal day spent doing normal things. Janice had brought a change of clothing for dinner that night and both women showered before going out to dinner.
Alex was dressing in her bedroom while Janice showered in the guest bathroom. She looked between her dresser drawer that contained her used undies and the bag on her closet floor. Coming to a decision, she raided the pink Victoria 's Secrets bag and slipped into her new garments. She then slipped into one of her short, breezy summer dresses and put on her tortoise shell glasses. She smiled at her reflection and then went to find Janice.

10:30 PM, Benson House
Teegan Cabot-Benson was seething as she lay in her bed. She wasn't as dumb as her parents apparently thought she was. Her OM was never one for being a stickler about bedtimes on the weekend and the fact that she'd ushered Teegan off to bed a few minutes before 10 was proof enough to Teegan that something was going on and she was pretty sure that something involved ol' wheat Penny.
She might not know a lot about sex, but she did know what it meant when her mother was nervous and trying to get her in bed and asleep in a rush. She'd finally just given in and pretended to go to sleep. She then lay in bed listening to every creak of the house and knew the minute her mother let Penny back into the house. She was trying to figure out what to do as she heard muffled noises coming from the living room.
On the couch….
Penny had shoved Olivia down onto the couch and then straddled her lap. She had her shirt off and her breast exposed to Olivia's mouth. The brunette had been a bit surprised at the ease and quickness with which Penny had gotten semi-naked, but before she could ponder that Penny had felt her up.
"I need you inside me Olivia…please!" Her voice was low and harsh.

Alex and Janice had returned to her home and Alex had led her date down the hall and into the spare bedroom. She'd decided she was ready for the next step, but that she wanted to keep her bedroom to herself for now.
She began slowly undressing for Janice and the brunette definitely liked what Alex had chosen as her undergarments. When the blonde was down to just her bra and panties, Janice stopped her and reached out with her own hand to lower Alex's bra straps.
As her coral tipped breasts became exposed, the cool air caused them to harden and Alex felt herself begin to blush under Janice's gaze. Janice stepped forward and kissed Alex, finally easing her back onto the bed. As the blonde lay looking up at her, she leaned forward and quickly pulled Alex's panties down and off her legs, completely exposing her to the brunettes. Her first reaction was to try and cover herself, but Janice shook her head.
"You are beautiful."
She began unbuttoning her shirt and quickly shed her bra. Her breasts were dark and firm and Alex swallowed hard at seeing breasts that didn't belong to Olivia. She quickly reached over and turned off the lamp and hurried under the covers. While she had been busy doing that, Janice had stripped off and was now easing under the covers with Alex.
"Sorry I'm being so…."
"Shh. I like the fact that you're shy. It's sweet."
She leaned in and began kissing Alex and rolled the blonde beneath her. She shifted her weight and Alex felt something unfamiliar pressing into her.
"What is that?"
Janice, who had been busy kissing her neck managed to answer. "Huh?"
Alex wiggled beneath her. "That? What is that?"
Janice pulled back, confused.
"My tool?"
Alex scrambled to get out from under her. She reached down and touched the smooth, thick vinyl and quickly drew her hand away.
"What do you think you are going to do with that?"
Janice was now lying on her side. "Use it on you?"
Alex jumped up out of bed, switched on the lamp and grabbed for something to cover her body with. She ended up with the pillow and stood awkwardly trying to cover her body.
"Absolutely not!"
"Alex? It's new, so don't worry about any latent germs, ok? I even have condoms if you want."
Alex clutched the pillow more firmly to her body.
"Janice, I don't want one of those things anywhere near me! If I wanted dick, I'd go get dick!"
Janice felt her anger flare. "It's not a dick Alex! I don't want to have a dick, it's just what I use to make love with somebody. It's shaped a certain way because your body, my body has a specific place for it to make you feel good during sex! Didn't you and Olivia ever use one?"
"No. Never."
"Really? Not even a vibe?"
"A few toys yes, but not…not that." She wanted to add that their love making didn't really require much beyond each other and that it was always good. Really good. "Do you always use that?"
Janice shrugged. "No, but more often than not."
"I'm sorry, but…."
"Shhh. Hey, come here. I'll take it off and we can just cuddle, ok?"
Alex hesitated and Janice fumbled under the covers and flung the dildo out of the bed. She held the sheet up and motioned for Alex to crawl in. Finally she did after grabbing her panties and Janice's t-shirt, and Janice wrapped the blonde up from behind. After a while Alex relaxed into her embrace and smiled over her shoulder at the brunette. They fell asleep that way.

Olivia had just gotten Penny's pants down and was just about to enter her when she heard Teegan scream. She pushed Penny off of her lap and grabbed her shirt as she hurried down the hall.
She'd just gotten both arms in her shirt as she flipped the light on and saw her daughter thrashing about in bed.
"Teegan? Teegan wake up!" She went over to the bed and shook her daughter who gradually began to wake up. The girl clung to Olivia and did a fairly good job of acting scared.
"Mommy?"
Olivia's heart broke at the endearment. Teegan only ever called her or Alex 'mommy' when she was scared or hurt.
"It's ok baby, I'm here. I'm here."
Teegan pulled back and gave Olivia the most pitiful look she could muster.
"Will you sleep with me tonight?"
Olivia smoothed her daughter's hair and nodded.
"I was just getting ready for bed. Stay in here and I'll be back in a few minutes, ok?"
Teegan smiled as her mother hurried out of the room and she felt relief as she heard the quite click of the front door and knew she'd thwarted whatever was about to happen in the living room.
Olivia quickly got ready for bed and crawled in behind Teegan. The girl cuddled up to her and whispered, "I love you mommy." And it was true, she did lover her mother's and they really needed to get a clue.
