Chapter 11
Jo was downstairs fixing breakfast while Cam was getting dressed. The coffee was ready and she was fixing two bagels with cream cheese. She was on a high, but nervous. She was thinking of all the things that will need to be done before their son arrives. She paused for a minute as she replayed that thought in her mind only this time repeated it out loud.
"Our son."
Her daydreaming was interrupted by the door bell ringing. She set the partially prepared bagel on the plate and headed for the front door. Just as she arrived there, Cam descended the steps fully dressed and ready to administer the last exam of the semester. They locked eyes with each other and both took in a deep breath before Jo called out asking who was at the door. As their visitor replied she looked through the peep hole to verify that it was indeed Agent Hammond.
"Agent Hammond, come in." Said Jo.
"Thank you, good morning ladies."
"Coffee?" Offered Cam.
"Yes, thank you." Replied the agent as they moved into the kitchen and the breakfast nook area.
Cam poured the coffees while Jo poured milk into the creamer and got additional spoons out for the sugar along with sweetener. No one said anything until they were all seated at the table. Hammond took his coffee black so as the ladies were fixing their coffees he took a small sip of his.
"So have you reached a decision?" Asked the agent.
The ladies looked at each other and their hands immediately gravitated toward each other as they laid across the table.
"We have." Replied Cam.
"We want him." Added Jo.
"Good. Great! Thank you, thank you." Said Agent Hammond.
For a person trained to keep your emotions uncover and stay detached it was all he could do to stay seated and not jump up and hug both ladies.
"So what happens now?" Asked Cam.
"Well, we will give you a few days to get ready for him; we'll add more money into your account for expenses to fix up his room, clothes and such. Plus, we will need time to get his paperwork in order. So how does Friday sound?"
"Perfect! Cam's done with classes and I shouldn't have any problem getting the day off." Said Jo.
"I can finish my grading at home and that will give us the weekend to shop and get him settled." Added Cam.
Agent Hammond stood to leave and the ladies followed him to the door.
"So, I'll have all of his paperwork when I bring him on Friday morning. He's been a bit reserved since everything that has happened, based on how his teachers and other relatives described him during the funerals and that's not surprising. I know you'll both be able to help this boy and give him the life that was robbed from him."
"We'll do our best." Replied Cam.
They were at the door now, Jo's hand landed on the knob ready to turn it when she looked back to the agent.
"So what's our son's name?"
"He's already chosen his first name. We picked his middle name. I assume you want his last name to be Whitley-Garrett?"
Both ladies turned to each other and knew, just by looking into each other's eyes, what the other was thinking.
"Yes." They both replied.
"We want his name to be Whitley-Garrett." Said Jo.
"Alright, I'll be back Friday morning with your son, Matthew, Matthew Scott Whitley-Garrett." Said Agent Hammond as he left the Whitley-Garrett home.
Jo pulled Cam to her and kissed her wife hard. As they released from the kiss they sank into each other's arms.
"We have a son. We're a real family, two parents with a kid." Exclaimed Jo.
"We've got so much to do, but will need to take it slow and not overwhelm him." Added Jo.
"We'll be OK. Let's start small. After he gets here on Friday will talk to him a bit, make a grocery list for the things he likes. Let him choose which room he wants. And hopefully he'll feel up to it and we can take him furniture shopping, maybe clothes shopping." Replied Cam.
"Then we can spend the rest of the weekend getting his room decorated, maybe we can do something like go the park or to a movie." Responded Jo.
The ladies did their best to go about their routine. That afternoon, after work, they did make a grocery run for the essentials, bread, eggs, milk, etc.
Before they knew it was Thursday night. The ladies had finished supper and cleaned up the kitchen. They were on the sofa attempting to watch TV. Both were anxious and nervous about the next morning and meeting their son. Cam nervousness caused her to be fidgety; her leg that was on the floor was bouncing up and down. The fingers of one free hand were drumming over the arm of the sofa. Every so often, Jo would reach over and lay a hand on Cam's bouncing leg stilling it only for a short time. Finally, Jo gave up and decided to find another way to distract her wife.
The next time Jo's hand landed on her wife's knee to still the movement, she left it there. She slowly moved her thumb back and forth. Then, before her wife realized what was happening, Jo's hand inched its way along the inside of her thigh. It wasn't until Jo's hand was nearly halfway to its destination when Cam realized what was happening. Jo sensed that her wife now knew what she had planned. As Jo shifted on the sofa, so did Cam. Cam turned to stretch out on the sofa as Jo moved to cover her wife's body with her own.
"Something you have in mind to do, Sergeant?" Asked Cam as she situated herself to accept her wife's weight on top of her.
Jo sought out her wife's lips capturing them quite passionately.
"It seems you, my love, are in need of a distraction." Replied Jo as she was gently sucking on her wife's pulse point.
"Is that so?" Answered Cam getting more aroused by her wife's actions.
"Yes, Professor." Teased Jo as her hand inched under her wife's shirt caressing its way in search of a breast.
After a few minutes of foreplay, Jo felt that they should move their activities to the bedroom where they'd be more comfortable. Apparently, her wife had the same idea.
"Let's…let's go upstairs." Said Cam in between kisses.
"Yes, Ma'am, Professor." Replied Jo as she gently got off of her wife and helped her up.
Jo went to double check that the doors were locked, Cam turned off the TV and the lights in the living room before she moved to the kitchen to turn off those lights. They met again at the bottom of the steps. They took each other's hand and climbed the steps to the bedroom for their last night as a married couple sans kids. Tomorrow their life would be irrevocably changed again when they welcomed their son into their home, their lives and their hearts.
When they reached their bedroom, Jo led her wife to their bed. Before they laid down, they helped the other to undress. Once divested of their clothes, the ladies crawled into bed. They resumed their position on the sofa of Jo covering her wife's body with her own. After a few kisses, Jo began working her way down her wife's body to her breasts; as she loved one by mouth a hand loved the other. It wasn't long before Jo had settled in between her wife's legs, her mouth now attached to an engorged clit.
After bringing Cam to orgasm twice, Jo was on the receiving end of her wife's love and adoration. Cam returned the favor to Jo equally twice over. They fell asleep tangled together along with a sheet. Sometime during the night, Jo woke up to a full bladder; she was able to disengage herself from her wife's hold to answer nature's call. When she returned to bed she remembered that they had not set the alarm. She quickly did that before snuggled back into her wife's embrace.
The next morning, Jo woke up early, before the alarm had gone off. She wasn't sure what woke her up just thirty minutes shy of their alarm going off, but after a few minutes had passed she realized she would not be getting that extra thirty minutes of sleep. She laid there on her back with an arm wrapped around her wife. Cam was nestled at her wife's side with an arm and a leg passively draped over Jo. She let her mind wander to the upcoming events of the day. She and her wife now had a son, a pre-teen, who had lost his entire family in a devastating act of violence. Just bringing a son into their lives would be a difficult adjustment, but to add to it, the amount of mourning this boy is dealing with. It will be a challenge to make him feel loved and wanted, she only hoped that all of her experience in dealing with children in her previous life will help her now to reach Matthew and help him come to terms with what happened to his family and the changes he is now forced to make.
Her wife shifted just slightly in her arms. She knew that Cam was beginning to wake up. Jo started to trace her fingers over the small of Cam's back; she also placed a kiss to the crown of her wife's head. Cam felt her wife's ministrations and realize that she was awake. Try as she might she couldn't snuggle any closer to her wife.
"Morning, Babe." Said Jo, her voice still raspy with sleep.
Cam turned and placed a gentle kiss to the underside of Jo cheek before shifting onto her elbow for a more proper morning kiss.
"Good morning." Replied Cam.
Cam snuck another kiss from her wife.
"Thank you for last night. I don't think I would have gotten any sleep if you hadn't otherwise amused me." Said Cam.
"Glad I could be of service." Replied Jo playfully.
"We should probably get up and get ready. Matthew will be here before we know it." Added Jo.
"Yes, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat much."
"You have butterflies too?"
"I do."
The ladies were standing at the side of the bed when Jo pulled Cam into her arms and looked deep almost drowning in Cam's cerulean blue eyes.
"If we weren't nervous, I'd be worried. He's probably just as nervous as we are, more so because he probably feels all alone."
Jo watched and Cam swallowed hard, trying to still her nerves. Jo then tugged her wife into the shower; though all they did was bath each other it was still what they both needed, to be close to one another. Jo made it downstairs first. She got the coffee going and decided on toast and jelly or honey. It was just enough food to settle both of their stomachs. Cam went to rinse of the breakfast dishes and put them in the dishwasher while Jo washed the coffee pot and prepared the coffee for tomorrow. They had just finished when the doorbell rang.
