Chapter 10: Heart-to-Heart's
-()-
Kimmy woke up before Stephanie a few weeks after their first date. She gazed at the sleeping woman next to her for a moment. Sunlight was streaming through the small window in the basement. It bathed Stephanie in a nearly angelic glow. Thier was a strand of hair resting on the younger woman's nose causing her nose to scrunch up adorably. Kimmy reached over and brushed the hair off her face, and her face smoothed out. Then Stephanie's blue eyes fluttered opened and she smiled a sleepy lazy smile, "Morning gorgeous," her voice was groggy. She nuzzled into Kimmy's throat. Placing opened mouth kisses across the expanse of flesh available to her then mumbled, "don't want to get up."
"Alas, we must my loveliness."
"Why must we?" She said leaning up and looking at her girlfriend.
"Because we are adults, and adults must get up, brush their teeth, and shower."
"You know with this being California maybe we should shower together save the planet."
"Max has been wanting us to be more environmentally conscience," she leaned forward and kissed Stephanie.
Both women got up and quickly and went to the bathroom. Stephanie made a mental note to thank her dad for remodeling the bathroom when he thought he was going to sell the house. The shower/bath combination could fit both women with room to spare and had it's own water heater. Stephanie adjusted the water temperature as Kimmy held her from behind and nibbled the back of Stephanie's neck. She turned around in Kimmy's arms and kissed her deeply. Her heart was fluttering in her chest like it did every time Stephanie kissed Kimmy. She backed into the shower, dragging Kimmy with her. They had never showered together. Stephanie could recall how Kimmy had looked in the shower that night Stephanie took care of her after Fernando had told her about Sara and the baby. Stephanie looked at Kimmy, simply looked at her with the utmost tenderness as the water wetted her hair. She reached behind Kimmy and took the shampoo from the shelf. She squirted some into her hands and lathered her hands for a few moments. Then pulled her out of the water and she started to massage the soap into Kimmy's scalp.
Kimmy's eyes fluttered closed and she whimpered. She placed her hands on Stephanie's hips and leaned her head back. Stephanie latched her teeth to the column of her girlfriend's throat. Then soothed the bite with her tongue. Her hands began to wash each strand of hair as she worshipped Kimmy's throat and shoulders. Kimmy's brain had completely shut off and her knees were weak as Stephanie washed her hair and marked her neck. Her heart was racing and her breath came out in ragged pants. Then Stephanie gently backed her up and the spray of the shower was rinsing her hair. Kimmy felt Stephanie work the shampoo out of her hair so very gently and the juncture between Kimmy's thighs pulsed with a need at the hungry look that was overtaking Stephanie's face and darkening her eyes. Kimmy grabbed her girlfriend's hand and gently tugged it away from her scalp and moved it down her body slowly. She watched the younger woman swallow hard as the hand trailed down the valley in between her breasts, and past her navel. Then it met the wetness in between Kimmy's tan thighs and it was Stephanie's turn to whimper. She immediately began to circle Kimmy's clit. Kimmy reached up and smashed their mouths together almost violently. She tangled her hands in the taller woman's blonde hair and rode Stephanie's hand.
"I want to come with you." Stephanie murmured into Kimmy's ear before biting on the lobe making Kimmy dizzy with want. The older woman nodded and pushed her thigh in between Stephanie's, who immediately began to grind against her placing the hand that wasn't pumping in and out of her girlfriend against the wall to steady themselves. They both came quickly and simultaneously crying out each other's names. After Stephanie caught her breath she chuckled against Kimmy's shoulder, which she'd rested her head against, then said, "You know this was supposed to be slow and sexy."
"Sorry sugar lips you are irresistible," a wry grin pulled at the corners of Kimmy's lips. Stephanie returned it kissing the woman slowly. sliding her tongue against hers languidly.
"Now it's my turn to wash your hair," Kimmy said.

An hour later the two woman emerged clean and thoroughly sated. "Really guys you couldn't wear turtle necks or something," D.J. asked a grin splitting her face nearly in two. Despite feeling lonely with her two romantic interests finding interest in other people she's glad that her sister and best friend is happy. Also, the enraged look on Fernando's face as he huffily leaves the kitchen as everyone looked at Kimmy and Stephanie's love bites adorning the women's necks.
"Sorry, Deej I'm proud to display these hickeys," Stephanie said sitting next to an equally smug Kimmy. her arm immediately resting on the back of the chair.

Later the next afternoon Kimmy walked into the kitchen as Stephanie and D.J. finalize plans for a sister outing, "You guys going somewhere without me?" She asked a teasing lilt in her voice.
"Oh uh yeah that cool babe?"
Kimmy looked beyond the two Tanner women a moment and saw Sara in the backyard having what appeared to be a heated argument if her body language was anything to go by. Then Kimmy's heart clenched painfully as Sara's facial expression turned into one that had been on Kimmy's face time and again as her and Fernando's relationship deteriorated. "Absolutely sugar lips I've got plans anyway."

D.J. and Stephanie were in the car D.J. was driving while Stephanie sat in the passenger seat holding the ladle, "So how are things between you and Kimmy?"
"Fine."
"Really just fine?" D.J. said casting her sister a sideways glance.
Stephanie rolled her eyes at her sister, "things are going great actually I haven't liked someone this much in a long time actually," then as if realizing what she had said the smile on her face turned into a grimace and her face to turn a little gray.
"Steph?" D.J. asked suddenly worried at her sister's suddenly bleak demeanor.
"Oh god, I could fall in love with her."
"And that's bad?"
"It's horrible, Deej I don't fall in love I fall in like; then run, but I don't want to run at least not away from her I just want to touch her, and not even in a sexy way in a hug you kind of way. I mean we've only been together barely five weeks, and I can't wait to hold her tonight."
"Stephanie why are you freaking out this bad though, you have been in love at least once before right you've dated tons of people."
"I don't think so Deej I've never felt this way before," Stephanie whispered looking at her oldest sibling terrified. D.J. at this point had pulled over the car and looked at her sister.
"You mean your first love is going to be Kimmy Gibbler," D.J. was absolutely surprised and delighted by this information.
"I think so, Deej you can't tell Kimmy this swear it."
"I swear, but you should tell her yourself. Steph why haven't you let yourself fall in love before now."
"I don't know probably some deep rooted issue from when mom died," by now Stephanie was crying.
"Steph," D.J. said softly and so tenderly.
"I'm sorry I ruined our sister night," Stephanie said tearfully. Then they hugged.

While Stephanie and D.J. were having their heart to heart Kimmy found Sara on the couch staring blankly at the TV. Max, Tommy, and Cosmo were upstairs. The two older children were out with Popko and a group of friends, Ramona was on her first date. Kimmy felt slightly old at that moment as she observed her, soon to be ex-husband's, girlfriend angrily toss her cell phone to the other side of the couch. Then she let out a frustrated sob.
"Fernando giving you issues," Kimmy asked softly trying not to startle the woman. Sara jumped anyway.
"No that was earlier. The person causing me stress at the moment is my mom. She hasn't spoken to me in five months."
"What why the hell not?" Kimmy was mad now.
"Because Fernando and I aren't getting married despite the fact that I'm carrying his baby. They're old school Catholic."
Kimmy absorbed the information Sara just divulged, and her heart went out to the young woman. It occurred to Kimmy that she didn't know that much about the woman next to her who looked young. and scared, and pregnant. She noticed exactly how young the girl seemed. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-six."
Kimmy seethed for just a moment at the age difference between her and this woman. She sucked in a breath and pushed down the hatred she felt for Fernando in that moment, "So you're all alone having a baby with a man you don't love in the same house as his soon to be ex-wife, and said ex-wife's girlfriend and family. I'd want my mom too." Kimmy commented glibly.
"What are you talking about of course I love Fernando." Sara vehemently insisted. Her voice was an octave higher, and both women knew she was lying. "How'd you know?" Sara whispered feeling tears sting her eyes.
"Because I've seen what being in love with that man looks like when I looked in the mirror."
"I don't have anywhere else to go my family won't speak to me until I'm engaged at least, so I stay praying I wake up one day in love with the father of my child. That prayer is going unanswered," tears were steadily streaming down Sara's face steadily now, and Kimmy pulled her into a fierce hug and let the woman cry onto her shoulder. After nearly twenty minutes later the youngest legal adult in the Tanner house composed herself. "We're still trying to find a place to live, but Fernando's dragging his feet," she scoffed, "He thinks he still has a chance to get you back."
Kimmy cackled, "well he can keep wishing I'm perfectly happy with my drop dead gorgeous girlfriend," Kimmy offered Sara a smile, and the younger woman gave a tentative one back, "Where is the delusional butthead anyway he's missing Ramona's first date".
"He's with his racecar."
"Ah, we got into a few arguments about 'Stella' as well like when he bought it without telling me."
They settled into a comfortable silence for a moment before Kimmy asked, "You haven't met the men that raised the Deej and Stephanie, and hell even me have you?"
When the woman shook her head no Kimmy smiled at her, "You'll probably meet them around Thanksgiving if we haven't scared you off by then, you won't be able to pry Aunt Becky off of you with a crow bar she loves babies. I know we can't replace your family Sara, but the Stephanie and D.J.'s family will perhaps make you miss them a little less."
"Really, I mean it would be nice to talk to you or D.J. about this whole growing a human thing Fernando's not all that helpful."
"Well, pregnancy is probably one of the weirdest experiences a person can go through. I mean from the minute the stick turns blue to the second the baby is in your arms you feel weird, or at least I did. Then there's a human that loves you no matter what somewhere in the world, and that's weird too. Then they grow up and go on their first date, and you know the person their with is a jerk, but you keep your mouth shut until they ask for your opinion because even though it kills you this person has to make their own decisions and mistakes." Kimmy rants slightly towards the end of her speech as the trepidation of what her child will most likely experience in the near future comes to the forefront of her mind, and she forgets who she's been speaking to for a moment. Sara soaks up the information Kimmy just gave her and they sit in now easy silence, staring at the TV blankly.

Kimmy had been right Popko was Jerk. All the adult women plus the teenager commiserate over their lousy first kisses and disappointing men. "But the best part is kissing does get better when you meet the right person," Stephanie says gazing at Kimmy with the utmost tender care.
"Alright I move to initiate Sara into the wolf pack and officially make Ramona a wolf pack cub," Kimmy said. the three older women looked at the two younger ones and nodded, "alright then howl on three."
All five of the women made ears and howled at the top of their lungs.
