Rachel woke to her mother absentmindedly stroking her hair as she held her. Moving ever so slightly to catch a glimpse of her face, Rachel saw the same look of concentration that she often pulled when in deep thought. Filled with sudden affection and love she squeezed tighter around her mother's waist, alerting the older woman of her being awake.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Just something that you said last night and wondering if I need to kick some boy's-"

"What?" Rachel pulled back a little to look her mother in the eye. "What are you talking about?"

"Well when you were talking about all the times you needed me you said 'And when Jesse,' but you never finished… what did he do?"

"Nothing. Don't worry about it," she stated as she buried her head back in her mother's chest feeling much like a 5-year-old.

"Rachel," Shelby had no idea where she had gotten that motherly tone, but Rachel seemed to know what it meant and so continued.

"Well, when Jesse and I were dating, one night we were making out," Shelby was glad rachel was still nuzzled into her chest because she suddenly flushed red, "and, well, he wanted to go further, to you know-"

"Did you?"

"No, and he got kind of mad. But then later that week he apologized and I told him I was ready. But I wasn't, I just didn't want him to be mad at me anymore." Shelby had to bite her tongue not to say anything. "then when it came time to- you know- again, I just couldn't. I asked my friends what to do and they said just say yes but I just couldn't you know? I mean and then we broke up and he was being awful to me and all I could think was how close I came to giving him everything," she sniffled and pulled back to meet her mother's eyes. "How do I know when it's right? When it's time?"

Shelby brushed the tears off her daughter's cheek wondering how she could feel so much love for a kid that she'd only known for a couple days, before remembering that she had loved her for her entire life she had only just gotten a face in the last couple of days. "Well baby, I don't know, I don't know how to tell you when it's right. And I know you'll probably get mad at my saying so but you'll just know when the time comes. But, Rachel please make sure that you know he's a good man. Be sure that you know that he will treat you well. You need to know that he will be gentle with you and understanding, because baby, it's going to hurt your first time. Get someone that you know will kiss away your tears and will hold you in his arms afterwards if you want him to and whisper sweet nothings in your ear until you fall asleep. And last but most definitely not least make sure that you know he will be there in the morning when you wake up. And I know that sounds weird but please take it from me every single one of those things is important," she swept a piece of her ear behind her ear. "Basically just make sure that you know that he loves you. And make sure that he knows, without you telling him how special it is that you chose him to take your virginity. And don't ever….. EVER let anyone tell you that you are "stupid" or "dumb" because you still have it. Your virginity is THE MOST important gift that you can give someone so make sure it's taken in the act of making love not having sex there is a world of difference." Noticing the fresh tears in her daughter's eyes, Shelby suddenly became concerned. "What's the matter?"

"It's just…. That's the kind of talk I needed," she chuckled. "And I was just thinking how funny it is that we've gone from not knowing each other to you holding me and consoling me and having "the talk" with me in just a matter of days really."

Shelby chuckled, "I was just thinking the same thing but you know what I decided? That I have loved you your entire life. Just because I just met you doesn't mean that I didn't love you. You part me for heaven's sake! But I want you to know that you can ask me anything you ever want and I promise I'll answer to the best of my ability. But can we please wait until morning because it's like 3 and I'm exhausted?"

Rachel laughed, "Yeah. I say we spend all day tomorrow asking questions and getting answers, making up for lost time you know?"

"Ok, it is Saturday after all."

"'Night again mom." Shelby thought she'd never tire of hearing that.

"Goodnight, Rachel," she yawned pulling her closer. Both women happy to have finally begun the relationship they had been hoping for, for nearly 15 years.
