A/N: The last part.
Chapter 10 - "Home"
Wednesday - 11:21 AM
Stef returned from upstairs to the living room with a blanket. "There. Straight from the dryer." Callie relished its warmth as the blonde plopped down on the couch next to her daughter. "Anything good on TV?"
"Not really."
"How 'bout a movie?" Stef got up to look at their DVD selection. "No...no...nah...oh, here! You'll love this." She gave Callie the DVD case.
She eyed it skeptically. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail from 1975?"
"It's a comedy that's a classic. I haven't seen it in awhile." She put the disc in the player. "Do you need anything before we start?"
"No, I'm good."
Stef hit 'play' and the movie started.
"These credits are weird."
"It gets better, I promise."
"Wait, is he using coconuts?"
"Why, yes. How observant of you."
Callie chuckled at 'Help! Help! I'm being repressed!'
Stef elbowed her playfully. "See? I told you it was funny."
Callie about busted a gut laughing at the horrible effects during the scene with the Black Knight. "This is so stupid, he has no limbs and he's still trying to fight..."
"That was the most random ending to a movie ever," Callie said after it was over.
"I know. It just stops. What was your favorite part?"
"Sir Robin and the singing: When danger reared its ugly head/He bravely turned his tail and fled," Callie answered, laughing. "What's yours?"
Stef grinned. "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch."
"Yeah, that was good, too." Callie coughed, although, it was slightly less grating. Today was the first day that she actually started feeling better, but she knew it would be awhile before she was back to one-hundred percent. She snuggled into Stef's side, tired.
"Nap time?"
"Mhm."
"Okay, love." Stef draped the blanket over them both and kissed her daughter's head. "Sweet dreams."
For Stef, having Callie feel safe and loved in her arms was all that ever mattered. She'd never let go.
THE END
A/N: Monty Python and the Holy Grail; one of my favorite movies. Great British humor; I definitely recommend watching it if you never have. I couldn't resist throwing a bit more Stef/Callie in. I just love their relationship.
I loved writing this and posting it for you all. I did not expect to get the response I did. Thanks for all of the feedback that was sent along the way; it was very encouraging and every bit helps me become a better writer. I'm always striving to improve.
Voting results: It was pretty close, but C.) Callie drama/angst won. So, as promised, that is coming next. It is called Storms. Be on the look out for the beginning of that within the next week. If you add me as a followed author, you will be notified when it is posted.
Thank you all so much again for reading, reviewing, and enjoying. Cheers.
