"I did it." Ally stepped of the scale in shock. Lisa hugged her voraciously.

"You did it!" Nine months after moving in with Lisa, Ally had reached 120 pounds, putting her just within a healthy weight range.

"Now I just have to keep it there. That's going to be the hard part." Ally pointed out. Lisa hugged her again.

"You'll have to want it" She agreed. Ally nodded.

"Yeah" she didn't sound too sure of herself, mostly because she wasn't. A healthy weight was something she'd spent most of her life avoiding. Lisa seemed to notice her silence.

"You'll get used to it." She tried to reassure her girlfriend, rubbing her arm gently.

"Yeah" Ally tried to smile and failed before turning and leaving the bathroom. She climbed into bed and curled up in a ball. Lisa followed her, worried.

"Ally?"

"I need to be alone for a little while, Lis." Ally whispered dully.

"Okay" Lisa walked quietly to the door. "Call me if you want company."

Ally stayed in bed a long time. She couldn't understand how the goal she'd been aiming for for so long could feel so awful.

She woke up to a hand petting her hair. "Hey sweetie." Lisa murmured as she opened her eyes.

"Hey."

"I saved some lunch for you."

Ally looked surprised. "What time is it?"

"About two." Ally sat up and cuddled up to her.

"Thank you." She kissed Lisa's cheek lightly. "After I eat do you want to do something with our day off?" Lisa nodded.

"That would be nice." Ally jumped off the bed and reappeared a few moments later with a bowl of stew.

"So what do you want to do?" She questioned, blowing on a spoonful. Lisa put down her book and smiled.

"Well…I was thinking you deserved a present." She started. "So I made appointments."

"Appointments."

"We're getting facials at 4." Lisa informed her.

Ally grinned. "I've never been to a spa." She admitted.

"Oh, they're wonderful. Don't worry." Lisa launched into descriptions of steam rooms and hot tubs.

"It sounds great." Ally hugged her. "Thank you."

After their facials they sat in the whirlpool. "Why have I never done this before?" Ally murmured, her head leaning back against the side. Lisa laughed.

"Really relaxing, right?" Ally nodded.

"So relaxing, and nice, and warm."

"I discovered spas at this conference I went to." Lisa told her. "We got a choice between that and golf. I hate golf." She grinned. "Turned out I made a good decision."

Ally lifted her hand out of the water. "We should probably get out soon." She sighed. "I'm becoming a prune."

"Me too." Lisa dragged herself over to the steps and climbed out, followed by Ally.

Lisa's present didn't stop there. She attempted to ban Ally from the kitchen while she cooked an amazing dinner, finally settling to have Ally keep her company and drink a glass of wine. Her goal for the day was to have Ally fall asleep feeling beautiful at a healthy weight. An hour and a half later, she and a slightly drunk, but seemingly content Ally settled down to a candle-lit salmon dinner.

"Close your eyes" Lisa instructed. Ally giggled as she felt Lisa removing her clothes.

"What are you doing?" she begged. Lisa smiled.

"Just wait. Arms up." Ally lifted her arms above her head and was surprised to feel satin slide down her body. "Now look." Lisa smiled as Ally looked at herself in wonder. "I want you to see how beautiful you are" Lisa whispered in her ear. Ally took her hand and Lisa spun her in a circle in front of the mirror. Ally smiled.

"It's gorgeous, Lis. Thank you!" She threw her arms around the other woman. Lisa laughed.

"I'm glad you like it. I thought the colour would suit you." She surveyed the beautiful woman before her. "Come on." She pulled Ally onto the bed. Ally bit her lip. "You really think I'm pretty?" she asked shyly.

"Yes!" Lisa exclaimed indignantly. Ally wrapped her arms around her neck placatingly, kissing her.

"I love you, Lis." She whispered, comfortable against Lisa's chest. Lisa caressed her gently through the satin.

"I love you more than you can imagine" She said sincerely, kissing her way down Ally's neck. Ally sighed contentedly, moving one hand from the base of Lisa's neck to venture under her shirt. Lisa straddled her, leaning forward so Ally could more easily pull off her shirt, and then kissed her deeply. Ally grabbed her ass tightly, moving her forwards so she could work on her pants' buttons. Lisa grinned. "Are my clothes in your way?" Ally raised an eyebrow.

"Not for long." She removed Lisa's jeans quickly. Lisa shook her head.

"I can't believe I once thought you sweet and innocent." She joked. Ally grinned.

"But you know you like me better like this."

Lisa raised her hands in mock surrender. "Hey, I have no complaints about our sex life." Ally cocked her head to one side and smiled.

"I'm glad." She pushed Lisa off her and climbed on top of her, sliding blue satin straps from her shoulders.
