AN
So sorry for the delay, I've had problems with my laundry and work. But here is the final chunk. Thanks for the support on this. And to the person that PM'd and asked what my favourite milkshake is, it's kiwi and banana.

"I can't do this," Laura told her ginger fiancé Ben, "I've been trying so hard….but the lid will not budge on this jar of fucking jelly!" She tossed it at the wall, and red goo oozed down the pristine magnolia. At a certain angle, it almost looked like modern art. She wondered if she could just get away with mounting a frame around it.
"Woah Laur! I know this stuff isn't part of the stash plan, but no need to tear up the joint!"
The tall goddess like seductress didn't want to be mean to Ben Foster, but her co-star's words were still running through her mind and she couldn't stand it any more.
'This isn't working" she said turning to Ben, her fiancé.
"What isn't?"
"This goddamn fitbit" she said tossing it to the floor.
Ben looked on knowingly, his ginger eyebrows smug, "I told you at the time not to get the Alta Laur, you buy cheap you buy twice."
Laura had to admit she was going to miss the sage like ways of Ben Foster, but ever since Taylor had lost feeling in her toned legs, it was becoming harder to pretend that life was rosy.
"Ben, I'm sorry, I've been thinking about this for a while, but this isn't working out."
Ben let a single tear escape from his eye. "Laur, I don't understand? Is it the height thing? Cause I've found a Cuban heel shoe designer that ethically sources his materials, it'll give me a couple inches at least?"
Laura shook her head wistfully, "if only it was that simple Ben, but the truth is, my heart belongs to another, although I've not met her mother, will you recover?"
"A woman?" Ben said.
"I will not allow society's perceived norms to hold me back any longer, if Xenu loves me, he should love me for who I truly am." And with that she left, never looking back.
XOXOXOXO
It didn't take her long to get to the hospital, but then she sat in the car and wrote a note for Taylor as she thought it was be easier to explain her feelings that way. She had just come up with a brilliant opening line when she realized that the incessant honking was an ambulance, because she was illegally parked in their space.
She waved an apology and reversed, she was pretty sure the woman on the stretcher would be ok, after all, it looked like she still had one leg.
She finished the letter and readied herself to hand it to Taylor.
Xoxoxoxo
Taylor opened the letter and read:
"Hi Tay it's Laur,
Words are all I have right now, but trust me, words will become actions. Since I met you, you've made my life so much better, I'm like a better version of myself, like the second Back to the Future, or Terminator 2 (but not any of the Hangover follow ups, I always found it morally questionable they cast convicted felon Mike Tyson) but anyway, what I'm trying to say is that when I wake up all I can think of you and when I sleep it's your toned beautiful face that pops up.
Please be mine?
From Laura Prepon"
Taylor was overcome with emotion, this woman would love her legs or no legs and that was what counted. "Oh Laur" she said as a single tear trickled out of the bluest eyes in the world, "what about Ben?"
"He's yesterday's news" Laura said, hurriedly deleting the pre wedding party whatsapp group that they had set up a few months ago, 'It's you and me kid".
Xoxoxoxoxo
Five years into the future
"Huckleberry!" Taylor yelled to her son. Her legs had gone back to normal after a few days, it was a miracle.
The three year old came running towards her "Momma, my graphics tablet has broken again, I've tried to reset it to factory settings but it won't work!" the way he pouted made her hard melt. He was so Prepon, with a soupcon of Schilling.
"Momma L will fix it for you later, why don't you go and play with your twin sister?"
But she could tell from his face that he didn't want to play with Kumquat (the women had decided on a gender neutral name for their daughter, the women viewed it as an ongoing social project of sorts).
Just then Laura worked in. She now owned Netflix and was so wealthy that she could spend most of her time writing more health and nutrition books. So far, the mash plan had been selling well. It seemed the simple folk outside the acting fraternity really got on board with her knew lifestyle. "If you can't mash it, I can't cash it" was her new motto. Tonight's dinner was taken from the book, mashed pizza with mashed salad and mashed lemon tart for desert.
Taylor couldn't believe how clever her woman was, "you've opened my eyes to food, before I was just eating to live, now I eat to live," she beamed.
"Live to mash" Laura smirked and giggled.
Later that night when the children were watching educational shows (because the two women were very good and responsible parents) they made love. They used a plastic dick and it was very sensual. Laura came 5 times and Taylor 4.
"I don't think I'll ever feel so full with love as I do now" Taylor said.
"Are you sure it wasn't the mashed salad?" Laura winked and smirked.
"Let's have another two kids Laur" Taylor said.
Laura agreed. "We have the money and time!"
They kissed until they vanished into shadows. This was love, this was everything.
