Maya and I had fallen asleep on the couch watching movies last night. I woke up laying half way on top of Maya. she started to stir and opened her eyes looking at me. "good morning." she said sounding happy about waking up with me like this. "Morning." I said blushing. who blushes now a days? Maya leans up and kisses me. I pulled back and she grabbed the nape of my neck pulling me closer to her. she kissed me again and licked my bottom lip. I opened my mouth a little more and her tongue slipped in. I moaned into the kiss and I felt her smiled against my lips. I took control and she trailed her fingers down my neck to my chest down to my stomach. she put her hands under my shirt trailing her fingers up and down my stomach and sides. she started raising my shirt up some and I took my lips from her lips and connected them to her neck.
"Mommy?" I jerked away quickly and looked to see Gabrielle walking down the stairs. I got off Maya and walked over to Gabby who had tears in her eyes. "What's wrong baby?" I sat wiping her face. "I thought you left me. you wasn't in your room."
"I'm not ever going to leave you. I'm sorry I scared you but we feel asleep down here last night watching movies." She smiled and I picked her up sitting down on the couch next to Maya. Gabrielle climbed out of my arms and into Maya's lap. "I like having you here early in the morning."
"I like being here early in the morning." Maya left about ten minutes before we left for dinner at my parents house last night. She came back over a little pass nine and Gabby was just getting into bed. Maya read her a story as requested and we went downstairs to watch movies for the rest of the night. "Pancakes anyone?" I asked. "Me!" Maya and Gabrielle said raising their hands. I went to the kitchen and making us a stack of pancakes. it was only a little pass nine and I had the great pleasure of going to enroll Gabby in Pre-K. Maya agreed to come along and I was happy that she wanted to come along. after we made us official it feel like we are a perfect family. I love how I feel waking up next to Maya and cooking breakfast for them. The specials moments when I see Maya and Gabrielle interacting with each other. Gabby acts a lot like Maya, if I didn't know any better you would think that Maya was her birth mother. They both would tilt their heads the same way and I would automatically give in and give them the answer they wanted.
I was taking the last of the pancakes out of the pan when I heard Gabrielle laugh really loud and yelled for me to help. I walked into the living room and Maya was tickling Gabrielle side and tummy. "Mommy help me!" I laughed and started tickling Maya. she took one hand and started tickling me and then a all out tickle war started. "I give." I said and Maya quit, I grabbed Gabrielle and kissed her head. we laid on our backs laughing, trying to catch out breaths. I turned my head to look at Maya. "Ready to eat now?"
"Yes I'm starved now." I laugh standing up grabbing her hand then Gabrielle's. "How many Gabby?"
"3"
"Gabby you aren't going to eat three."
"Uh huh I promise I will."
"how about I give you one at a time?"
"Okay." she said as I cut up her first pancake. Maya and I finished eating and like promised Gabby sat there and ate three pancakes. "Okay I'm going to wash the dishes and then it's a bath for you." I said kissed Gabby cheek grabbing her plate. "I can give her a bath."
"I cant ask you to do that."
"I'm don't believe you asked and I want to."
"Are you sure?" Maya got up and walked towards me.
"of course I'm sure. I'm here to help you not to get in your way." she said pecking my lips. "Come on Gabby its time for a bath." Maya said picking Gabby up rubbing her tummy. "I think someone ate too much."
"But it was so good."
"I know it was." was the last thing I heard as they walked up the stairs. I finished the dished and I could hear someone faintly singing. I started to walk slowly towards the stairs and I could make out that voice anywhere. Maya was singing Adele rolling in the deep. Gabby heard that song on the radio one day in the car and would always sing it even though she didn't know the words to the entire song. she would listen to it on my phone all the time after she heard it. I walked up the stairs and stopped at the bathroom door. I stood there and watched Maya sing to her as she washed her hair.
there a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark
finally I can see you crystal clear
go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
see how I'll leave with every piece of you
don't underestimate the things that I will do
there's a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark
the scars of you love
remind me of us
that keep me thinking that we almost had it all
the scars of your love
they leave me breathless
and I cant help feeling that we could have
had it all…
I smiled then I heard Gabby start singing the rest.
rolling in the de…ep
you had my heart inside of your hands
and you played it to the beat
"Okay time to wash it out." Maya said leaning Gabby back in the water to make sure no soap got in her eyes. I waited until she had the shampoo all out before speaking. "You two sounded beautiful singing."
"how long you been standing there?"
"Long enough to watch you shampoo and sing at the same time. But I'm going to get in the shower." I said walking into my room taking a quick shower. as I was getting out Maya was walking into my bathroom. "So I sounded beautiful?"
"yeah just like a remembered in high school. I always liked how I had this bad rebel weed smoking wind instrument player as a girlfriend but when we were alone behind closed doors she would sing and she had this amazing raspy soulful voice that no one knew about but me. I seen that same girl I used to see behind closed doors just a second ago with my daughter." I said smiling down at her. I could tell I made her blush but instead of her admitting to it she kissing me with an unknown amount of passion that a human being could hold.
"I understand now why you took her in. you feel in love with those big brown eyes. Emily Fields I love you daughter." she said smiling almost giggling.
"You want her?"
"no I prefer her mother she too young don't you think."
"yeah I think I'm better anyways."
"agreed." we shared a kiss and I pushed her back.
"I have to get ready if were leaving on time. you should get in the shower." I said pushing her towards the shower. she winked at me and I shut the door as I walked out. I got dress and walked into Gabby's bedroom and she was sitting there holding Maya's phone. "Mommy, Maya said I could listen to Adele on here."
"She did?"
"Yeah she has her whole CD." I smiled at her. Maya had got Gabby dressed in a purple dress with black leggings with some combat boots. she braided her hair back into a French braid and even put a purple bow at the end.
Maya finally came downstairs all ready to go. we all seemed to agree on wearing the same kind of shoes for this occasion, combat boots. We parked at Rosewood Elementary and walked into the front office. "Hi how may I help you?" the old lady asked at the desk.
"I'm here to enroll my daughter into Pre-K."
"You're Lucky we have three spot left for Pre-K. Here just fill out these papers and then she can go ahead and meet the teacher."
"They are at school already?"
"Yes ma'am we have two Pre-K teachers at this school we have Mr. Ezra Fitz and Ms. Smith." I smiled and filled out the papers. Once I finished the extremely long, not exactly needed paper work I handed it back to her. "Thank you. you can go and meet both teachers we want know which one she has until the first day of school." she said and I nodded my head.
Maya grabbed Gabrielle's hand and we started to walk towards the Pre-K through K hall. we first stopped to meet Ms. Smith she was a nice lady. she was about Maya's height with pale white skin and reddish hair. she was very bubbly and I could tell she honestly loved kids. we walked down to Ezra classroom and walked in. he had his back to us putting things on the shelves. "I guess high school was to much." Maya said and I smiled. he jumped and smiled at us. "Emily, Maya you scared me. yeah I didn't a honest break from them. What are you doing here?"
"I would like you to meet Gabrielle Fields my daughter." I said pulling her from behind my legs. "Gabby this is Aria's Boyfriend." she looked up at me and smiled. "Hey Gabrielle ." Ezra said bending down to her level. she hide behind my leg and poked her head out. "Hey." she whispered. "Don't be shy. I know your moms." my eyes went wide when he said moms. I didn't correct him because Maya spoke up. "Yeah Gabby we known him for a long time."
"you did?"
"yeah he is Aunt Aria's boyfriend." she looked up at me and I nodded my head.
"Gabrielle, do you want me to call you Gabby or Gabrielle?"
"I don't care."
"Well Gabby it was nice meeting you. Aria said you was beautiful and she was right. Emily have to talked to Aria lately?"
"No I haven't talked to her since I ran into her and the girls about three weeks ago."
"Oh you might want to call her. Her parents are having this get together and I know for sure she wants you all there."
"Okay I'll call her when I get in the car."
"Okay well I guess I might be seeing you in a few more weeks."
"bye." Gabby said and we started to walked to the car. Gabby walked in front of us and Maya grabbed my hands.
"I'm sorry I didn't correct him when her said I was her mom too." I smiled and looked over at her.
"Don't apologizes for that."
"but I should have told him."
"I should have. did it make you uncomfortable?"
"No, it actually made me get butterflies in my stomach. I love that little girl already. she feels like mines too." I smiled and looked back forward to Gabby. she was standing by the car waiting for us to unlock it. I buckled her in and Maya said she was driving back to the house. I took out my phone and called Aria.
"Hello?"
"Hey Aria."
"Hey Em, how have you been?"
"Good you?"
"Good actually I was going to call you and ask if you wanted to come to my parents get together they are having tonight at six."
"yeah I would love to come. Ezra actually told me to call you."
"when did you see him?"
"when I went to enroll Gabby for school. he might be her teacher this year."
"oh that's good news."
"it is at least I can trust him with her."
"yeah. so I will see you and Gabby at six?"
"yes and I'm bringing someone with me."
"okay I cant wait to meet this special someone."
"okay bye Aria I'll see you then."
"oh Em, mines and the girls parents don't know your back yet."
"No one told them?"
"No, we knew you probably didn't want everyone to know."
"yeah your right well I think I will be the surprise of the party."
"ha yeah I guess so. I cant wait to see you and Gabby again."
I hung up the phone as Maya pulled into the driveway. "so I was wondering will you come to Aria's parents get together tonight with me please?"
"I don't know."
"please I really want you there with me."
"I guess I can."
"Mayaaaa, pleeease come with me. I reaaalllly want you there." I gave her puppy dog eyes and a pout.
"Fine just stop that." she said and my pout immediately turned into a smiled. "Thank you."
"yeah, I have to go home and shower and changed."
"why cant you just bring your clothes back here?"
"because I have an apartment I haven't really been too in a few days."
"And I like you here."
"I do too but my clothes are there."
we sat down on the couch and I laid my head on her shoulders. "I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?" Gabby asked coming from behind the couch.
"I have to go home for a little while but I'll be back later."
"don't go."
"I have to go get some clothes."
"Just wear mommy's clothes."
"Gabby come here." I told her and she shook her head no. she walked towards Maya and grabbed her leg. "Gabby Maya will be back she going with us to aunt Aria's."
"but what if she doesn't come back?" she was scared Maya was going to leave and never come back like her mom and I hated that will always be something that scared her.
"I will come back I promise." Maya bent down and wiped the tears that had started to fall down her cheeks. "How about when I come back I'll help you get ready?"
"Okay."
"Now go to mommy and I'll be back in about an hour." Maya said kissing her cheek then kissing me quickly on the lips. I watched Maya walk out that door and I had to admit I never wanted to see walk out again. but it was too soon to ask her to move in wasn't it?
"mommy?"
"yeah baby." I rubbed my fingers through her curls.
"Can I call Maya mommy too?"
"do you want too?"
"yeah I love her like I love you."
"you can if you want too." she smiled at me and laid her head against my side some more. like Maya said she came back in an hour. she smiled as she walked back inside. she smiled and I slowly laid Gabby down on the couch. She had a duffle bag resting on her shoulder.
"I brought some clothes because I couldn't leave again after what she did. that broke my heart to actually drive away."
"broke mines too." I said smiling at her. I followed her upstairs to my room. "I wanted to ask you something?"
"what?" she said sitting next to me on the bed.
"I know that we only back together for a little while and I was… nevermind you will probably say no or I'm going to scare you away-"
"Em just ask me and by the way you cant scare me away."
"I know its early in our relationship but I was wonder," I took a deep breath. "would you like to move in with us?" I said in one deep breath putting my head down. She placed her hand on my chin and lifted my head up. she had this huge smile on her face.
"I would love nothing more than to live here with you and Gabby." she said and I mirrored her smiled. she leaned forward and kiss me. I pushed my lips harder against hers, pushing her back to the bed. I straddled her waist and rubbed my tongue side to side on her bottom lip and she opened her mouth, allowing me to deep the kiss. we kissed until we both had to pull apart because of much needed oxygen. I laid my forehead against hers. "I love you." I whispered to her. "and I love you too." I pecked her lips and looked at the clock. "Its four." I said shaking my head against her forehead.
"lets go get her." I rolled off of her and she grabbed my hands and we walked downstairs. Maya walked to the couch and bent down rubbing Gabby's hair backwards. "Gabby, Gabrielle its time to get up." Maya said in a singing song voice. Gabby shook her head no and covered her face. Maya picked her up and Gabby let out a whine and laid her head on Maya's shoulder grabbing some of Maya's hair into her fist. Maya rubbed her back continuing to tell her to wake up.
"I'm going to go run her a bath." I said walking upstairs. I heard Maya start to follow me. "You want bubbles Gabby?" she turned her head to face me on Maya's shoulder and nodded her head. I stood up kissing her cheek and grabbing the bubbles in the towel closet. Maya stood Gabby in front of her as she sat down on the toilet. she took Gabby dress off and blew raspberries in her stomach. Gabby started to laugh pushing Maya's head away. "Are you awake now?" Gabby shook her head and Maya started blowing on her stomach again. "Okay I'm awake."
"thank you that's better." I walked out of the bathroom but I stood by the door just to listen to my favorite thing, them singing together. it had become my favorite thing to do at night. I walked downstairs to clean up a little then I heard Gabby started to laugh. I walked back upstairs to see Gabby had bubbles on her face and Maya had some on hers too. "Ho Ho Ho." they both said and I smiled.
"Gabby sing me the ABC's."
" and Z, now I know my ABC's next time want you sing with me." I smiled and covered my mouth so she couldn't hear me giggle at how cute she sounded. "mommy sing with me." Gabby said and my heart sunk. a tear rolled down my face and I looked in to see Maya staring at Gabby in shock. "Mommy sing with me." Gabby said touching Maya's face. Maya lifted her hand up and wiped a few tears away. " and Z." I walked away after that and went to get in the shower myself. I heard the bathroom door open and I peeked out of the shower and see Maya standing there with her back against the door. I turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around my body. I walked towards her and she had a small smile on her face and tears down her cheeks.
"Babe, what's wrong?" I asked walking towards her cupping her cheeks, wiping under her eyes with my thumbs. "Babe talk to me."
"She called me mommy." she said softly. "She called me mommy." I smiled big at her and kissed her. "She just said mommy sing with me. Em, she called me her mommy."
"you are her mommy just as much as me. you have a bond with her too." she smiled at me.
"Today had been the best day of my life. I'm moving in with you and Gabby called me mommy. I am just so happy."
"I'm glad you are." I kissed her and wrapped her in my arms. "Where is she?"
"sitting on your bed listening to music on my phone." I walked over to the counter and looked at my phone. it was five ten and I put on my panties and my bra, I walked over to Maya and kissed her. "You should get in the shower we have to leave soon." she nodded her head. "Is she all ready?"
"yeah I even did her hair."
"thank you." I walked out into my room and put on the clothes I laid on my bed. I sat down where Gabby was laying on her stomach kicking her feet in the air. I placed my hand on her lower back and she looked over at me. "Hey baby."
"mommy, can I listen to this at Aria's house?"
"Yeah."
"where is mommy at?"
I smiled, "she is in the shower."
"I like calling her mommy."
"you do?"
"yeah she loved me like you did when you found me." I kissed her cheek and Maya walked out the bathroom. we walked out to the car and got in.
"I'm nervous."
"Why?"
"The girls no I'm back not their parents."
"oh."
"yeah." we all had on dresses. I had on a blue dress with black heels, Maya had on a black dress with black heels and Gabby had on a fluffy pink dress with pink flats on. we pulled up to the curb of Aria's parents house and I took a deep breath. I got Gabby out and she grabbed my hand. Maya grabbed my other hand and laced our fingers together. I seen all of the girls cars, their parents cars and even my parents car. we walked up to the door and rung the doorbell. I heard Aria say she had it. the door opened and I dropped both of their hands to hug Aria.
"Hey, beautiful dress."
"hey, thanks and same to you." I grabbed Maya's hand and relaced our fingers.
"Hey Maya."
"Hey Aria long time."
"Indeed. Hey Gabby ." Aria said bending down kissing Gabby cheek. "You dress looks beautiful."
"thanks mommy picked it out."
"nice choice Em."
"Not me her." I said pointing to Maya and Aria's eyes bulged out.
"She calls you?"
"yeah first time today."
"aww Maya." Aria said giving her a hug. "Well lets go inside." Aria said leading us in. Aria had grabbed Gabrielle's hand and Maya and I followed. Everyone stopped talking and looked to see who was walking through the door.
"Emily?!" I heard. The girls ran towards me and the parents just stared at me, even my own."
"Hey." I said smiling.
"Maya!" the girls yelled hugging her. "What are you doing here?" Hanna asked.
"Hanna that sounded really rude." Spencer said.
"She knows I didn't mean it like that."
"I'm here with Em."
"we will talk later." Hanna said to Maya.
"Emily!" all the parents walked towards me and gave me a hug. "When did you get back?" Mrs. Montgomery asked.
"almost five months ago."
"Why are we just finding out now?" Mrs. Hastings asked.
"I was scared."
"Of what?" Mrs. Montgomery asked.
"People in this town, my parents, and you guys."
"why?" Mr. Hastings asked.
"I'm Gay."
"Emily we love you and don't care who you like." said and I smiled.
"Exactly Em." My dad said walking towards me and wrapped me in a hug. "I love you Emmy." I smiled kissing him back.
"Hey Maya." Mrs. Montgomery said giving her a hug.
"Hey."
"I want everyone to meet someone." I said and I seen Aria tell Gabby to come to me. "Gabrielle this is, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, they are Aria's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Hastings, they are Spencer's parents, and Ms. Marin she is Hanna's mom." she waved hi to all of them and they smiled and waved at her. "Everyone this is Gabrielle, my daughter." all of their jaws hit the floor.
"Mommy can I have your phone now?" she asked Maya and she handed Gabby her phone and head phones. "Thank you." she said running back towards Hanna sitting on her lap.
"How old is she?"
"Four." My mom said before I could speak. "She beautiful isn't she."
"Yes."They all said.
"would you like a drink?" Mr. Montgomery asked me.
"No thank you Maya you want one?"
"Can I have one?" she asked.
"yeah I don't care." she smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
"So are you and Maya seeing each other?" Mrs. Montgomery asked.
"yes." I said with me biggest smiled. "We dated back in high school." I talked a little bit longer with everyone then I went and sat talking to the girls. dinner was serve and we all walked into the dining room. we all went around the table talking about what we did. the room finally came to me and Maya.
"I'm in family law. I work at this law firm in Philly."
"Emily, why didn't you call me and I could have got you a job at one of the bigger firms." Mrs. Hastings said.
"I didn't think about it."
"Call me I can have you making so much more."
"I will do." this is when I am glad I have friends who parents have connections. It was now Maya turn. I actually wasn't sure what she was doing. every time we talked we never talked about where we work. she kind of avoided the conversation all the time.
"I am working on my album and I am selling some of my art work to a few galleries. I also wrote a few songs for a couple of artists nothing major. I also work at this place for kids giving art lessons." she said so nonchalant. I turned my head and looked at her.
"I really love your art work." Mrs. Montgomery said.
"Thank you."
"yes, its just so elegant." Mrs. Hastings said. dinner ended and I grabbed Maya outside.
"why didn't I know?"
"Know what?"
"your job."
"I wanted to make sure you still loved me for me and not for what I have."
"I would love you if you were unemployed and did nothing."
"that's sweet but I don't know the last relationship I was in when she found out that I had money she started acting weird. I just needed to be sure." I kissed her and smiled.
"your money means nothing to me. it makes you so much cuter though."
"really?"
"no just joking." I said kissing her lips quickly and spinning on the back of my foot walking away. I walked back over to the living room and Gabby climbed into my lap. "What is she listening too?" Aria asked.
"Adele. that's all she wants to listen too."
"aww take video." Hanna cooed.
"Oh I will especially when she is in the bath singing rolling in the deep with Maya."
"Aww." they cooed. Maya tried not to blush but was embarrassed that I told them that.
"So why didn't you tell us about you two in high school?" Aria asked.
"No why didn't you tell me?" Hanna asked Maya.
"I wanted her to be comfortable and hiding our relationship did so I didn't tell anyone." Gabby laid down with her lead in Maya's lap and her legs in mines. "You sleepy baby?" she nodded her head. Maya took her phone back and put it in her bag. "Go to sleep we are leaving soon." Gabby nodded her head again and started closing her eyes. we sat and talking for a few more minutes before our parents came over and started to talk with us. I told them we had to go and they all agreed it was getting late. we put Gabby in the car and drove home.
I took off Gabby's dress and put on her PJ's tucking her into bed. I walked into my well now our bedroom and see Maya putting on her tank top. I watch her climb into bed before I started to change out of my dress. I put on a pair of black shorts and a tank top and climbed into bed next to her. "I'm going to enjoy waking up next to you again." I said pulling Maya into me.
"has been along time hasn't it?" Maya smiled up at me.
"Yeah its been what four almost five years?"
"more or less."
"you know we should serious fix that."
"we should and I cant believe I'm about to say this but, I too tired to do what we want and need to do." I started to trace random letter on her side where he skin was exposed.
"Me too. lets just cuddle and sleep."
"cuddle and sleep sounds great." she leaned up and kissed my lips. we made out until we both needed to breath. we rested our foreheads against each other. "Goodnight I love you." I whispered before pecking her lips.
"Night I love you too." with that I closed my eyes to my euphoria.
