"Emaya BBC (Before Boot Camp)"
Thanks for sticking with this story. I'm glad you're enjoying my interpretation of how these episodes should have been written to include Maya.
Rated T. I can write T rated sexy time. I promise…
Sooo, what you're about to read never happened on the show but it should have. I have nothing to go by; this is all my own personal interpretation as to how I think it should have happened. I hope you like it…

Chapter 6: I'm Here for You
Emily's parents move into the dining room to continue discussing their daughter out of her hearing range which gives Emily her chance to sneak out. She walks by the living room noticing the envelope on the coffee table. She quickly snags it without her parents seeing, grabs her jacket, her car keys and slips out the front door. By the time her parents hear her start the car it's too late, she's gone…
Emily and Maya meet at their Place…
Maya leans her back against the railing waiting for Emily. She keeps checking her phone but no messages and it's getting late. Finally, Maya hears a car pull up and her heart starts beating faster for her girl.
"Emily!" Maya calls out.
"Maya!" Emily runs into her awaiting arms.
Maya holds her as close to her as is humanly possible while Emily rests the side of her face on her shoulder. She didn't want to cry, she tried not to, but her tears aren't cooperating as they soak into Maya's shirt.
"Oh baby, it's going to be okay. I'm right here where I belong and you're right here where you belong."
"Maya, it was awful. They hate me."
"Baby, they could never hate you. They're just surprised and confused. That's all. They'll come around in time and until they do, you have me. I'm not going to leave you to handle this on your own. I will never leave you."
Emily holds onto Maya tighter as her heart feels like it might explode out of her chest while she continues to sob into her arms.
"So you told your parents."
"Not really."
"What do you mean?"
"I told my dad but my mom already knew."
"What!" Maya says taking Emily by her arms so she can look into her eyes.
"She already knew."
"How?"
"'A'"
"'A' told her? Now your mom knows about 'A' too?"
"No. Someone sent her these." Emily takes the envelope that was sent to her mom out of her pocket and hands it to Maya. "It doesn't say anything about 'A' having sent these but I know that's who did."
Maya takes the pictures out of the envelope and can't help but smile.
"You're seriously smiling right now?" Emily asks kind of frustrated.
"Em, I can't help it. Look at us. We're so cute!"
This brings a smile to Emily's face, something she didn't think her mouth was capable of doing after what she heard her parents saying about her but leave it to Maya to help make the sadness fade away.
"Can I have these?" Maya asks still smiling sweetly.
"Yes. You're such a nerd."
"Oh I am, am I? Well, then lucky me that you're in to nerds!" this time she says with a wink.
Emily has her arms around Maya's neck when she says, "You are unbelievable. How can someone get me from crying and feeling miserable to smiling and laughing so quickly?"
"It's my superpower," Maya cuddles putting her arms around her girl.
"Superpower?" Emily asks her geeky girlfriend with some curiosity.
"Yeah, I have the power to make bad feelings go away and replace them with good feelings like this."
Maya tilts her head moving her mouth slowly until it reaches her intended target, her beautiful, sweet, sexy girlfriend's lips. Emily tilts her head the opposite direction taking hold of those lips letting those good feelings travel throughout her aching body chipping away at all the darkness...
"Mmmm. That's some superpower," Emily says with her lips still attached to Maya's.
"I have other superpowers. Would you like me to show them to you?" Maya asks with her lips grazing Emily's.
"I'd like that very much," Emily smiles against her smile.
Maya sneaks her arm up to the back of Emily's neck taking her in for a much needed passion filled kiss as her other hand puts the pictures in her own back pocket. Then that hand finds its way into Emily's back pocket pressing her body against hers. Emily's arms tighten around her neck not wanting to let anything come between them just wanting to be with Maya, the girl she cares so much about. The girl who made her realize who she really is. The girl she wants to be by her side when she introduces her to her parents as her girlfriend…
Back at the Fields…
"Where is she?" Pam asks her husband worriedly. "She's been gone for hours."
"She probably just needed some time to think about what happened. She came out to her parents, that couldn't have been easy for her," Wayne tries explaining their daughter's behavior to her.
"She didn't tell her parents. She told you. Some stranger told me," Pam retorts hurtfully.
"Honey, I don't think she meant not to tell you. I think she just didn't want it to feel like two against one," Wayne tries to reassure her.
"Well, I bet I know where she is. She's with that Maya girl," Pam crosses her arms trying to stay calm.
"If she's with Maya, then I'm glad."
"What! That's like saying you condone this!"
"No. I'm just glad she's not alone. If Maya means that much to her that she would come out so she can be with her around us, then I know Maya will take care of her."
"How can you say that? Maya is a troublemaker."
"Troublemaker?"
"Everything was how it should be before she got here. Emily was dating Ben. She was happy and suddenly now she likes girls. She likes Maya!"
"It sounded to me like Emily never really liked Ben like that. So, what you're saying is, she should be miserable with a guy instead of happy with a girl, with Maya?"
"I can't talk about this anymore. I need to lie down. Call me if you hear anything."
"Fine. I will."
Back at the Boat House…
"So, superpower number three, you can start a fire?" asks Emily sort of poking fun at her girlfriend.
"Yes, that is if making your bad feelings go away is number one and kissing you the way you like to be kissed is number two." Maya states quite seriously while continuing with her fire starting skills.
"Is this your sleeping bag?" Emily asks with a bit of nervousness.
"Yes it is. Did you bring yours?"
"No. I ran out of the house so fast I forgot."
"That's okay, I'm sure we can squeeze into mine, that is if you don't mind me being that close to you," she turns her head at exactly the right moment to give Emily her signature eyebrow arch.
Emily smiles shyly but deep down inside she really does want to be that close to Maya.
"No, I don't mind."
When Maya finishes with the fire, she walks over to Emily taking her hands in hers to say, "Em, I want to be close with you but trust me I won't do anything that you're not ready for."
She looks up at Maya wondering how she ended up with such an amazing girlfriend before adding,
"Sooo, patience is your fourth superpower?"
They laugh at Emily's sense of comedic timing.
"Yeah, I guess it is."
"Maya, do you think it would be okay if we went outside and just held each other under the stars?"
"Are you worried about the fire?"
"Yeah."
"It should be fine. Let's go. I like the idea of holding you under the stars. It's very romantic. I like romantic."
"You do? I wouldn't peg you for someone who likes romantic."
"Oh really," she says as they walk outside together hand in hand.
"Yeah, I picture you more as someone who likes spontaneous and I don't know, likes being a little reckless?"
"Spontaneous and reckless, huh? I think I'm all of those things. It makes for a more exciting relationship, don't you think?"
"Yeah. I think."
Emily leans back into Maya as they look up into the night sky. The stars are in alignment the way they are supposed to be just as Emily and Maya are supposed to be…
Back at the Fields…
"Hi, this is Wayne Fields, Emily's dad."
"Oh, hello, this is Maya's mom, Eva."
"I was wondering if there was any chance that Emily could be over there."
"No she's not but I do know that she's with Maya."
"You do? Do you know where they went?"
"They have a place they like to go to together. She texts me when she gets there and she texts me when she leaves."
"So you're okay with the two of them being together and not knowing where they are?"
"Wayne, I trust my daughter. If she says she's going to text me then she will. If she says they are safe then I know they are."
"How can you be so nonchalant about this?"
"Believe me, I'm not. We've gone through our struggles but I love my daughter and I know that this place that she's at with Emily is their place, not mine and not yours. And I respect that."
"Yes, but, Emily left the house upset. Her mother and I are worried."
"You don't need to worry because she's with my daughter and she'll take care of her."
"I bet she'll take care of her."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm sorry. That didn't come out right."
"Is this about Maya being gay?"
"You know?"
"Yes, I've known since we moved here. She was spending a lot of time with Emily and I saw them kiss each other good night so I asked Maya who Emily is to her."
"What did she say?"
"She said Emily is someone she really cares about and wants to get to know. We talked about everything and at first I was wondering if it was just a phase but I know now that it's not. I actually feel closer to my daughter and I support her and I support her and Emily. So this isn't about Maya being gay?"
"No, it's about Emily coming out to her parents and her parents not handling it very well."
"Oh, I see."
"She left the house in a hurry because I think she overheard her mom and me talking about her revelation and we weren't very supportive."
"It sounds like Emily needs to do some healing before she can come home. But just know that she's safe with Maya. She is where she needs to be right now."
"I just wish I knew where that was."
"Wayne, I trust my daughter, it's time you trusted yours."
"You're right. Thank you, Eva for your patience with me and for helping me to better understand what my daughter's going through right now."
"Emily is a great girl and I'm glad Maya found her."
"After talking with you, I think I'm glad Emily found Maya too."
"Goodnight Wayne. Emily is safe and she'll be home when she's ready.
"Goodnight Eva. And thanks again."
Back at the Boat House…
"Mmm, this is nice, being in your arms, just you and me and the stars in the sky."
"It's so romantic, isn't it? I told you I can do romantic."
Emily turns to face Maya laughing softly.
"Maya?"
"Yeah."
"You make me so happy. You make me forget about all the naysayers in this world including my own parents. This right here is what I need, just you and me."
"I can do just you and me," Maya smiles with lips together kissing her girl tenderly. "It's getting kind of cold out here. Maybe we should warm up by the fire?"
"Yeah, maybe we should."
Back at the Fields…
"Any word yet?" asks Pam after Wayne hangs up the phone.
"Yes. Maya's mom said that she was meeting up with Emily. She doesn't seem too worried about it so I don't think we should be either."
"How can you say that, Wayne?"
"She's probably just like her parents! We're from California! We do things out in the open for everyone to see!"
"That's enough Pam. They seem like really nice people who really love their daughter. Her mom assured me that the girls would be fine and I believe her."
"Well good for you Wayne, good for you."
"I'm going to fix myself a drink and I'm going to make yours a double."
Pam gives Wayne a look, a look that could stop a man right where he stands. But when Wayne holds his hand out to his wife, she softens her demeanor and takes it in hers.
"I think I'll take that drink as long as it's a double," Pam lightens up as she walks with her husband to their bar.
Back at the Boat House…
"Maya, what are you doing?"
"I thought we were gonna go to bed."
"We are. But why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Em, it's gonna get really cold when the fire goes out and we're gonna need each other's body heat to stay warm."
Maya continues to take off her clothes leaving on her bra and panties as Emily can't help but scan up and down her body watching her get into the sleeping bag. Emily takes a deep breath and takes off her clothes too as Maya is unable to look away. She slips into the sleeping bag facing Maya, who sweeps away Emily's hair with her fingers and sweetly says,
"Hey."
"Hey," Emily says just as sweetly getting lost in Maya's eyes...
