Scott & Bailey.

Together.

The Foursome.

Gill closed the door, a grin of anticipation on her face as Julie smiled almost evilly at Janet and Rachel who stood there, naked, and grinning at her. The newcomer was casting her eyes across the flesh in front of her; Julie already knew about Gill, but Rachel and Janet were glorious in their own way standing there, skin coated in sweat and Julie couldn't help but lick her lips at the sight of the liquid around Janet's cunt and on Rachel's face. Silently Julie moved across the hall, and with her gloved hands she used her forefingers to stroke both girls. The cool, smooth leather felt amazing on her cunts. Rachel and Janet shivered, moaning with pleasure as Julie stroked them. Rachel tilted her head back with a moan whilst Janet bit her lip to stop herself from lunging at the still clothed Julie. Finally, Julie stopped and looked at her gloved fingers ignoring the moans and pants from the girls. Her gloves were now coated in their cum. Slowly Julie lifted her hand, and sensually she licked the cum off her fingers, leaving two lesbians incredibly breathless.

"Oh that's hot," Rachel gasped, peering out from lidded eyes, watching DSI Dodson lick her and Janet's cum off her gloved fingers.

"Yeah," Janet panted, half leaning on the wall. Julie glanced at her hand, "You taste good, the pair of you."

She closed the gap between them, and Rachel found herself with another woman's tongue in her mouth, and she let go of Janet out of reflex, and pulled Julie closer to her as they fought for dominance, but then both women were strong willed so they were evenly matched. Janet and Gill watched as they kissed hungrily, and they caught each other's eye. Within seconds they were wrapped around each other, kissing hungrily. Meanwhile Julie was stripping naked with Rachel's help as they still kissed, when she was naked the two women pressed themselves against one another, Julie's hand found itself cupping Rachel's tear shaped bum. Finally Rachel pulled back, not 'cause she was nervous or anything, but because she was running out of air. Julie seemed grateful too, both their chests rising and falling. Rachel cast her eyes down Julie's body. She'd heard it say from her detractors that Julie Dodson was a fat bitch, even Gill called her 'fat arsed bitch' as a friendly joke, but really there was only a small quantity of fat on her body. The rest was broad muscle, most of it was centered around her arms, legs and around her chest. She wasn't an athlete, but it didn't matter. There was nothing wrong with Julie Dodson's body, and all those nasty things people said about her were wrong. Julie followed Rachel's gaze and looked down at herself worriedly. "I'm not as nice as you, I get that," she said forlornly. And indeed she wasn't, at least in her mind. Compared to the young woman in front of her, Julie felt saggy, hideous and fat.

Old.

That was the trouble with being a police officer, their lives were taken by their work. They had little time for their families when they were out on a case. It led to strained relationships where boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, and kids of various ages felt neglected to the point they barely recognised their police sister, brother, mother or father. The police women in the middle of Rachel's flat, they all fell into that category. It was like a trap all officers were destined to fall into, and these women had fallen into it. Head on. Out of the four, only Rachel and Julie didn't have kids of their own though both had come very close. But because of the strain of their relationships, Julie, Gill and Janet often found their lives made difficult; for Gill it was because her son sometimes got frustrated by how many hours she worked. Sammy Murray was an understanding kid, he was clever, mature, but sometimes that could vanish when he got frustrated with his mother's working habits. Sometimes he would spend time with his useless dad, and he would get repulsed by Captain Shagbandit's on/off relationships and go back to Gill. Because of her working habits, Gill found it hard to balance a relationship with her only child.

In contrast Janet had no idea if she still had her children, never mind a relationship. She was under no delusions that Adrian hadn't already told Elise and Taisie about what she'd been doing with Andy behind their dads back, longer than she'd actually told him when they'd met to talk about their future. Both girls had witnessed the fights between their parents, both of them had felt the tension, and they hadn't been surprised when Adrian had gone too far, and Janet told him to sling his hook. That had been down to Taisie's thoughtlessness; she'd joked about her dads cooking, and like falling dominoes her mother had gotten involved. Janet didn't blame Taisie, the breakup had been inevitable.

But Janet had no clue how Taisie and Elise would react to their mother sleeping with one of her colleagues, and had done so on more than one occasion. To make it worse she didn't know what their reactions to her being a lesbian were now. It was too soon for a confrontation, but it would come eventually and Janet was dreading it. Out of the two girls, she had no idea who would be the most nasty when the confrontation did come; theoretically it would be Taisie who'd go mental, but then there was Elise. Out of the two girls on the surface Elise was the calmest and the most mature of the two, she was also more driven than her more flighty sister, but Taisie wasn't a dummy. Both girls were smart, but Elise was sharp. If she lashed out at her mother, and Janet knew she probably would, then Janet had no idea what she would do.

Rachel and Julie both felt lucky; their only relationship issues were less long term, though in Rachel's case they almost had if Sean had kept his cock out of sight, but Rachel was quickly realising she'd never loved Sean so there was no real harm done. The surprise had hurt, but now she didn't really care. For Rachel and Julie, their short term problems involved finding someone for company for a brief time, in the case of Rachel it was easy to find a guy; she was younger than Julie, and that suited the desires of men. For Julie it was harder in a world that valued looks, even after she'd become a lesbian after years of noticing other women around her found looking for the occasional man harder than it had been when she'd been younger. That was the joy of women, they never looked at the physical side but what was inside. But Julie was understandably insecure about her looks, especially since she'd been snogging a hot girl right now. She was afraid of rejection, though logically she knew Rachel would see past it after kissing Janet and Gill.

"No, really it's ok," Rachel said quickly, guessing rightly where Julie's thoughts had gone. "I like it, you look brilliant."

Julie blinked. "Seriously?" Rachel nodded.

Julie bit her lip, and nodded shyly. It was weird seeing a police officer, an experienced detective, nod shyly like that.

Rachel smiled reassuringly, and she glanced over Julie's shoulder. "Might have to break 'em up," she said with a sigh. Julie smirked when she turned round to see Gill and Janet still going at it. "Come on you two, the night's barely begun." The two parted, and turned, panting to face her and Rachel. Stepping over her discarded clothes, Julie picked up the case that held her toys.


The toys weren't that harsh, thank Christ. Julie, whilst extreme at times, wasn't one of those harsh BDSM scumbags who fixed nipple clamps to other people to make them scream as their nipples were squeezed. Nope, she was extreme in the sense of pleasure, not pain. Well, not a lot of pain anyway. The moment the four of them were in the bedroom, Julie grabbed hold of Gill and Rachel, and threw them onto the bed to their surprise but before they could do anything, Julie had jumped ontop of them, and handcuffed them to the bed. Rachel tilted her head round to face Gill as Julie was busy handing sextoys out to a bewildered and nervous Janet, particularly when she recognised the butt plugs, the strap on dildo and its single cousins. There were four dildos in total. There were other toys in that bag, as Janet and Rachel would soon discover. Gill had already experienced the full workout; she wasn't surprised when Julie pulled out two paddles, one of them had rivets in it, the other was thankfully flat. There was also a riding crop, and there was a small bullwhip. Fuck.

"I hope yer not thinking of using that," Rachel said as she eyed the whip, she was close enough to see the braid. She wasn't the only one.

Julie's only reply was to smirk. "Oh my god," Janet was beginning to have cold feet. That wasn't the end of it, there were a few well folded role play costumes in there; a nurse outfit, and a nun's wimple. Jesus. Julie took out two of the butt plugs, and she surprised Rachel when she suddenly lifted Rachel's body up, and inserted the butt plug right inside her hole.

"Ow!" Rachel had braced herself for the pain, but she couldn't help it as the cold plastic was shoved into her arse. Julie pushed it in, making her wince harder. Rachel had always hated anal sex; it made no sense to her. What was the point of a bloke sticking his cock up your bum, and come away with it covered in your old shit? It was disgusting. Rachel had once had a boyfriend, the same piece of crap who'd taken her virginity, who'd wanted to go the extra mile with her. He'd succeeded because Rachel had been curious. She'd regretted it later; firstly because her bum hole wasn't like her cunt, it didn't have the ability to stretch as far, so it was painful. What was worst was when he'd pulled out, his penis was covered it bits of her own shit, it put them off sex and they broke up. Fortunately for Rachel's sanity he'd been as disgusted and embarrassed as she'd been, and they never told anybody. After that, Rachel stuck strictly with oral sex and ordinary sex. As the butt plug was shoved roughly up her bum, Rachel flinched as she shifted and tried to get used to the size of the plug. It wasn't surprising she was uncomfortable, she'd forgotten how painful it was having something shoved up her arse.

"Painful, Rachel?" Gill asked.

"Yeah," Rachel nodded as Julie finished with her, and went round the bed to Gill and repeated it with her. Like Rachel, Gill didn't really like anal sex.

"What's the point of butt plugs?" Janet asked hesitantly, casting nervous looks at the bag, hoping there weren't any more of these toys.

"It adds a bit of spice to the game," Gill surprised them by speaking. Janet and Rachel looked at their boss in surprise, but they didn't have time to dwell on it. Julie turned Janet around, and they kissed each other, becoming more passionate as they deepened their kiss. As Gill and Rachel watched and they felt the air become heated as their arousal spiked. They felt their vaginas flood with fresh fluids as Julie and Janet kissed and rubbed each others bodies, making loud noises against one another. Rachel felt more than just arousal, she felt jealousy. To her, Janet belonged to Rachel Bailey, and yet Julie Dodson was making out with her...and Janet was enjoying it! As she'd been servicing Janet's vagina, Rachel had been delighted as Janet had panted her name as she orgasmed in bliss. Rachel felt anger pour into her soul, but it died down when Gill leaned over, feeling they were being left out, and gently suckled Rachel's nipple much like earlier. Rachel closed her eyes and moaned, her anger and jealousy forgotten as she unconsciously maneuvered her body to let Gill have better access.

"Oh, god Gill," Rachel moaned. The young lesbian of the coven started squeezing the bedposts in pleasure. Gill pulled back, "Let me suck your cunt," she begged, her eyes wide and pleading. Rachel grinned, delighted she was so wanted, especially by Godzilla. It took some work on Rachel's part considering how they were both handcuffed to the bedposts, but she eventually managed it. Soon Rachel had an idea how Janet had felt when it had been her sucking on her cunt. Gill carefully used her teeth and tongue to probe Rachel's core, nipping gently here and there, making the younger woman pant and gasp, squeezing Gill's head between her knees. The coupling pair were interrupted when they felt hands push them apart. One moment the one woman was giving the other amazing oral sex, the next they were being pushed apart, instantly protesting.

"Hey-" Gill protested, her mouth and tongue coated with Rachel's juices.

"What're you doing-?" The question died in Rachel's throat as she took in Janet and Julie. Both lesbians had finished their make-out session a while back when they'd heard the commotion on the bed, and they'd gotten ready. Both of them had strap on penises attached to their pelvises. Janet, like Rachel, had been jealous when she'd seen her best friend with Gill. It was time to get some revenge, and to make Rachel realise the penalty for kissing other women but her. The possessiveness the normally calm, mild-mannered Janet Scott was feeling right now was shocking because she'd never felt it before, not with Andy, not even with Adrian. But with Rachel - god, she'd never believed in that stuff about true love. Was it possible? Rachel gasped as she saw the paddle in Janet's hands, which she smacked into her free hand. She swallowed thickly and yet she was both turned on when she saw the evil look in Janet's eyes and terrified at the same time, the sadistic grin on her face...somehow it looked right at home.

Janet held out a hand silently, and an identically grinning Julie handed her a ball gag. Handing over the paddle to Julie, Janet jumped on the shocked Rachel, knocking the breath out of the brunette's lungs, and shoved the gag in and strapped it to Rachel's head.

"MMM!" Rachel moaned in protest, glaring back at the blond as she bit down on the gag. With some clever maneuvering Janet and Julie managed to uncuff Rachel and turn her over until she was lying on her tummy before cuffing her again. Gill watched with trepidation as Janet used her hands to bring Rachel into the doggy style position before Janet pulled over the evil looking whip she'd been scared of before. Gill watched wide eyed even as Julie used her knees to spread open her own legs, but then Julie slipped the dildo into her core, and soon she started moaning, but she did summon enough effort to turn her head when she saw what Janet was doing to Rachel.

Janet brought the handle of the whip and slowly slid it down Rachel's body, gently slapping a couple of spots on her body, not too hard but enough to make the girl shiver and moan, she certainly moaned loudly when Janet smacked the whip gently against Rachel's cunt and moved it upwards, over her belly, and smacked both nipples.

"Mmmm," Rachel screamed through the ball gag, her arms and legs trembling. She tried to move, and Janet immediately smacked her on the bum, making her close her eyes and give a muffled scream of pain.

"Now, now, its time for you to accept your punishment Rachel," Janet said in a chiding tone.

Rachel's heart could've burst from her chest, and she mumbled through the gag. "What did I do?" she tried to ask, but it came out in a gurgle. Janet correctly translated the words, but she didn't reply with a straight answer at once. Instead she just brought the whip, and slashed it down on Rachel's bum. Rachel closed her eyes and screamed loudly through the gag again. The pain didn't lessen and her thoughts went to two things; one, Janet had a mean, sadistic side in her sweet gentle nature, something she found unable to believe, and two, she was sure her bum was bleeding. Janet threw the whip away and she gently picked up the paddle, the riveted one, and she lovingly caressed Rachel's skin. She really felt bad for whipping Rachel, but honestly she wanted to mark her territory.

She used the paddle, and brought it down hard on Rachel's bum. The brunette felt herself being turned on as Janet brought the paddle down on her bum, but it hurt like hell. She tried calling Janet's name frantically through the ball gag, but the blond was so lost to the feelings of being a total bitch she didn't hear her best friend. Finally, after five minutes of systematically beating Rachel, Janet decided enough was enough, and answered Rachel's question from earlier, "Your punishment for letting another woman from sucking you. You're mine, Bailey. All mine." She whispered into Rachel's ear, and making her brunette friend/lover shiver at the domineering tone the normally sweet blond used. Janet smirked, Rachel hadn't seen anything yet. Mounting the bed, Janet carefully slid the dildo into Rachel's cunt. It was hard, being a woman and not a bloke, but she managed it. Rachel knew it wasn't a cock being shoved into her cunt, not a real one anyway, and Janet's movements may've been clumsy but it wasn't her fault. When Janet thrusted in and out, Rachel closed her eyes and her limbs turned to rubber. She almost collapsed, but Janet stopped her back slapping her bum, which was still painful.

"Mmmm!"

"No collapsing on the bed Rachel, you're mine and mine alone, though I might...rent you from time to time," Janet purred.

"Rent me?! You make me sound like a prostitute!" Rachel screamed though it was muffled by the gag. This time Janet didn't bother trying to work out what Rachel said, not when she was having fun dominating her friend. As she thrusted in and out of Rachel, Janet heard her friend orgasm a couple of times, but she didn't let up. She was sure she could make Rachel come again. She smacked Rachel's bum in appreciation. The size of the dildo along with the way Janet was thrusting in and out of her made Rachel think she was losing her mind. Her face and body now had a sheen of sweat, her hair was plastered to her head, but Rachel didn't know that as Janet slid in and out of her nerveless pussy. Her eyes were rolling in their sockets as she blew out moans through the ball gag. The two lesbians moved in perfect rhythm with each other. Finally Rachel came again, and this time Janet stopped and pulled out with a wet sound. Rachel limbs trembled and she collapsed onto the bedsheets, Janet leaning over her as she released the ball gag. Rachel was out of it. Janet frowned in concern wondering if she'd gone too far, "You okay Rachel?"

Rachel gurgled, but there was a smile on her face. Janet leant closer and kissed her friend, pressing herself closer to Rachel's body, kissing her as deeply as she could whilst Rachel was out of it. As she came down from her multiple orgasms from Janet's brutal pace, Rachel became aware of what Janet was doing, and though she was tired she slowly responded. She kissed back, knowing she could punish Janet for the whipping, and for being so brutal with her. In her mind, she hadn't done anything. Yet. 'Sides, she wanted the chance to be as domineering with the others. Janet grinned in her mind when Rachel kissed her back. She pulled away, and rested her head against Rachel's shoulder.

"Janet," Rachel whispered.

"Hmm?" Janet replied dreamily.

"We're not done yet," Rachel said and she pulled away from Janet, who wasn't staring at Rachel, but what was in Rachel's hands. Somehow her sneaky girlfriend had managed to unstrap the strap on dildo from around her pelvis without her notice. Rachel straightened up to strap the thing round her pelvis before reaching for the paddle Janet had used on her. She pounced on Janet, and rolled her over.

"You were such a bitch to me Janet, now its time to reap what you sow," Rachel's voice sent shivers down Janet's spine, and without warning she smacked the paddle on Janet's bare backside.

"Ow!" Janet screamed as the paddle smacked her hard, she tried to escape but Rachel threw the paddle away, and none too gently she inserted the dildo into Janet. The blond started moaning and panting as Rachel claimed her, thrusting in and out of her, eventually crying her name. Rachel grinned as Janet cried her name over again, she could see Janet's hands clutch the sheets. A loud moan caught her attention, and she glanced over at Julie and Gill. Gill was the one fucking Julie doggy style now, and she wasn't sparing the whip. She was smacking Julie's own bum with a riding crop, making her skin red, and the bigger woman was groaning and jerking, moaning painfully as Gill gave her pleasure and pain. Rachel turned away from the sight, and she glanced down at the blond she was fucking, and she leant forwards to grasp the woman and turn her over. Janet didn't have time to adjust to her new position as Rachel fell onto her chest, using her new skills to great effect, tweaking her nipples and making the blond moan harder before capturing Janet's lips in a kiss. As they made out, Rachel kept thrusting in and out of her before the two women rode on their climaxes.


Gill was kneeling in the centre of the bedroom, naked, her skin shining with sweat and sex as Rachel stood over her, just as naked, wearing the nun's wimple and holding a riding crop, and still wearing the strap on dildo. It was shining with Janet's juices. Rachel cleared her throat, looking down at the woman who was her boss. Now she was in charge. How times changed, but this was roleplay.

"Sister Gill," Rachel held back the urge to shift a bit. The butt plug was still up her arse, but she didn't dare take it out when she was having so much fun. "You have flouted one of the most sacred laws of...St. Lesbianina," she thought the name up, "by staring. Lustfully. At...," she paused for dramatic effect, glancing towards Julie and Janet who were sitting on their haunches, watching hungrily, "men!" she said disdainfully. The two women fell into the drama, and gasped in mock horror. Gill herself bit her lip, the image Rachel was presenting was making her soaking wet.

"How do you plead Sister Gill?"

Gill felt herself grow wet at the domineering tone in Rachel's voice. "Guilty, Mother Superior."

Janet and Julie both gasped theatrically, and Gill hung her head as she played her part. Rachel turned back towards Gill, using the riding crop to gently lift her chin up. "Look at me, Sister," Gill shivered when her eyes met Rachel's mock angry eyes. "Look at my crotch."

Gill did so, and Rachel stepped forwards so then the dildo was all she could see. "If you love men so much, then suck this dildo, blessed with the cu-release," she corrected herself as she tried to sound stern and proper at the same time, more...nunly, "of one of your sister. Go on, traitor. Suck!" Rachel smacked the riding crop ontop of Gill's head lightly for emphasis, making Gill gasp before she leaned forwards and engulfed the dildo into her hot mouth. Rachel was disappointed when Gill bobbed her head up and down the dildo, but she barely felt a thing though she shouldn't have expected anything. Finally she pulled back, and the dildo fell out of Gill's mouth with a wet pop. "That was satisfactory sister," Rachel said harshly but she soon adopted a more sinister tone, "But do you still feel lust for men?"

"No, Mother Superior."

Rachel used the riding crop to tilt Gill's head back again. "Though shall not lie, goes the commandment. I do not think so, Sister," she whispered. "Present your arse to me, now!" She barked. Gill quickly did as she was told, and Rachel smacked her bum hard. Godzilla screamed then moaned when Rachel gently ran the crop down her now soaking wet core. Then she screamed again when Rachel smacked it.

"Repeat after me. Men are disgusting, only the female sex is holy," Rachel said. She smacked Gill's cunt again, making her cry out, "Say it."

"Men are disgusting, only the female sex is holy," Gill gasped out in pain before she begged, "No more, please no more whipping. Mother Superior," she added to fit into the answering smack made her whimper. "Do not tell me what to do, Sister."

Gill was starting to get afraid, she wanted to end this, but Rachel was still in control. She'd never imagined Rachel had this sexy domineering side before, and she was surprised to find how submissive she was. No one had ever dominated her when she'd had sex before Julie, not even men. Gill felt hatred for the male species in her chest. She'd never felt this free before in her life, not even when she and Dave had conceived Sammy. Rachel's voice brought her out of her reverie, "Now, repeat after me; I will only admire womanhood."

"I will only admire womanhood," Gill repeated, then added on her own, "Men are filthy. Women are beautiful, and the only ones."

"Good," Rachel smirked, hiding her pleasure at how Godzilla had just added to the drama, "Prove it." She unstrapped the strap-on, threw it away, and lay on the ground before taking hold of Gill's hips and pulling her core to her mouth. Gill quickly realised what Rachel was doing, and she eagerly reciprocated as they got into the 69 position.

Janet tapped Julie's arm, a smirk on her face. "Shall we?" She laid down on the bed, dragging Julie with her.


Julie panted as she felt Rachel's excellent mouth on her core, and she squeezed her breasts in reflex making her feel more pleasured. After her little game with Gill, Rachel had decided to try Julie, and vice versa. The pair of them had been doing this for the last 10 minutes. Unlike Janet and Gill, Julie had a very tight core, loose with age, but not a lot had entered it for sometime. Rachel didn't care, not when she stopped sucking and biting down on it before moving up Julie's body until she humped the older woman, making her groan harder as they humped each other. On the other side of the room, Gill was being dominated yet again only by Janet. The boss couldn't believe it; she could dominate and terrify Rachel and Janet at work, behind closed doors when they were fucking each other they were the ones who dominated HER!


Janet was just finishing changing the bedsheets whilst Rachel was in the shower. During the foursome the ladies had soaked the sheets through completely, and as Rachel and Janet didn't want to get into a bed drenched in drying cum on their first night together, so they'd changed the bed. Rachel had done the duvet and pillows, Janet got the sheets.

When Rachel got back, wrapped in a dressing gown and fluffy towel with her wet hair wrapped in a towel, Janet took a look at her. "Thanks for putting me up," she said, her earlier feelings coming back.

Rachel winced as she walked over to her and pulled her into a hug, feeling the ebbing ache of the plug shoved up her arse. "You don't have to thank me Jan, you put me up plenty of times. Time I returned the favor, don't you think? But you do know you'll have two teenage girls to content with, right?" She added.

Janet bit her lip, nodding her chin into Rachel's shoulder, "Yeah, I know."

She guessed other people would think Rachel was trying to be nasty with what she'd just said, that she wouldn't put up with Janet or her kids, but she knew better. Rachel was a blunt person, but she genuinely cared about others, and knew that being realistic was better than being in denial. She was basically saying bliss couldn't last forever. It was harsh, but it was the truth.

Janet frowned out of her thoughts when she felt Rachel shift a bit. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just thankful I got that butt plug out of my-"

Janet put a finger to Rachel's mouth, "Okay I think that's a bit too much information, wonder kid."

Rachel nodded sheepishly in agreement. "Yeah, only hope she doesn't stick one there again."

The two women were both exhausted from their foursome, and so they didn't do much in bed except hug each other closely. They didn't say a word.

"Well, this is awkward," Janet said to break the silence. Rachel laughed. Yeah, the silence had been a bit awkward, not a bad awkward but definitely an awkward. "Yeah."

"Rachel," Janet whispered, "do you think the girls will forgive me, for what I did? Adrian's probably told them 'bout what I've done."

"Janet, do you remember when I stayed at your place, and I overheard you and Adrian argue?" Janet frowned at the memory Rachel had just brought up, wondering why she was bringing it up, but gave into her curiosity. "Yeah, I do," she answered.

And she did. It was after that mess with the Steikos case. She and Adrian had argued about something totally irrelevant, something not related to either of them or even the girls, and not their guest. Anyway Rachel hadn't spoken about it until the next morning, and only in the car she'd asked about it. Janet had waved it off, saying it was one of those little domestic things. Rachel hadn't believed her, and Janet had known it. Her friends - at work and outside - knew how turbulent things between her and Adrian had been; hell Gill had frequently asked about it, despite the work the couple had put in to try to make what was left of their marriage work, presenting themselves as good parents and a loving couple. It hadn't worked, and no-one was fooled unless they really were thick. Their marriage had started falling apart when their son, Joshua had died of natural causes as a baby. The incident had shaken the family, and it had the result of making the two elder Scotts bury themselves in their work and concentrate on their daughters. Unfortunately it had been the wrong thing to do, and this was the result.

"I overheard Elise say to Taisie as I was doing breakfast that morning that they'd heard the pair of you arguing, and Taisie just whispered about getting it all over with by divorce," Rachel said, making Janet look at her. There was no surprise in the clear blue eyes as they fixed on Rachel's own dark brown eyes. "I'd say they wouldn't be surprised by you divorcing, but they'd probably be shocked you saw Andy behind their backs longer than their father thought when she'd met him in that pub. Yeah, they'll probably be pissed. I'm more worried 'bout what they'll say 'bout you and me being lesbians."

"Yeah," Janet conceded, she wasn't looking forwards to THAT part of the conversation she was bound to have with her daughters. The bit where they had to talk about the fact she'd shagged Andy was the first bit she was nervous about. Rachel saw out of the corner of her eyes how downcast Janet was now, and she hated to say it so she just did, "Janet, lets be honest with ourselves," the brunette waited for Janet to look at her, "even if you did get back with Adrian, do you really think everything will become better? Be honest. It won't make any difference."

Janet thought about her relationship with Adrian, her mind doing what Rachel had told her to do, be honest...And she realised what Rachel was trying to tell her. It would be no different; the pair of them would still be arguing, shouting and fighting over little things to the girls, about what they were doing, about how one of them would be neglected, or about how inhumanely long Janet's working hours were. And Elise and Taisie, and her mother would be caught in the middle of the fighting. Rachel was right, it wouldn't make any difference. "You're right, even if we had a...tentative truce," she ground the words out but not painfully, not with her new relationship with her best friend, "it would all fall apart, no matter what we did."

Janet tightened her grip around Rachel, and sighed.

Rachel kissed her ontop of the head, and reached over to turn off the lights.

A/N, I'm so sorry for how long its taken to update this story. I have been toying with different ways to carry on, but also because my minds been a hodgepodge of ideas for other stories. As always, I appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you.
