Caroline snuggled up against Kate smelling in the scent of her hair, she hated this part of the weekend when she knew it would soon be over, and they would have to be parted. "What's the matter, I can hear you thinking from here", "I didn't know you were awake I'm ok just dreading you going home".
Kate turned to snuggle into her their noses touching, "oh Caroline i know, but it won't be forever". "Don't focus on the negatives just make the most of this, Kate's hands shuffling over her naked body causing Caroline to raise her eyebrows. "Oh yes there are lots of positives", "there are indeed let me show you".
Caroline kissed Kate resentfully opening the door to wave Kate off, "I'll see you tomorrow" "yes I suppose that will have to be good enough" she pouted pulling Kate closer again.
Kate had reached her car as Caroline stepped out of the front door "I've changed my mind", Kate looked questioning her "about what". "You leaving, I want you to stay, will you stay tonight", "what about the boys?" "What about them". "Well won't they ask questions that's why I haven't stayed before", "I know but I can't do this, you leaving all the time it's too hard I become miserable".
"oh Caroline don't say that, I feel bad enough leaving you as it is", "well stay then. The boys won't be bothered it's already late they will be going straight to bed, so it will be fine". "Are you sure it's a big step, what if they do ask ... Kate hesitated slightly "Kate don't go". Caroline pulled Kate closer embracing her as she peppered kisses across her jaw line, "does that mean yes then" Kate nodded letting Caroline lead her back inside.
"I'm nervous Caroline what if they guess?", "they won't and if they do we will deal with it I've got to at some point, because I'm not letting you go anywhere".
William and Lawrence blustered through the door about 8.30 "Hi boys" Caroline called she had to admit after asking Kate to stay, Caroline had had a few glasses of wine to calm her nerves. And well to put it lightly she was sloshed, "Hi mum" William called as he walked into the kitchen closely followed by Lawrence "oh hi Kate you still here". "Yes she is we got chatting and now we've had to much to drive".
"A little too much, you look pissed mum" Lawrence scoffed "well that's enough from you, did you have a nice time with your dad?". "Mmm yeah it was ok, you know dad, I'm going to bed", he turned and walked away towards the stairs. "Is he ok?" Kate asked William "yeah he's fine, thanks Kate. Is mum ok?". "Yeah she will be when she has a coffee", "so are you staying tonight Kate", "well umm yeah probably is that ok?". "Yeah sure I don't mind, mum looks like she needs you, she seems happier when your around".
"William" Caroline grabbed his arm pulling him closer gently "I really love you, you know that" he nodded " I just want you to be happy?". Kate moved towards the door giving them some space, "why are you looking like that William have I got something on my face?" She giggled nervously, "mum are you seeing someone?". Deer in head light springs to mind as William watched his mothers eyes widen in surprise, fear "Wh...what makes you say that?".
"I'd be ok with it, if it made you happy, if they deserved you" she saw his bright face smiling at her. "Well then yes I am", William moved closer to his mother rubbing her arm "is it Kate Mckenzie"... "What...would you say if ...if it was".
"I'd be happy for you, if she makes you happy", "how did you know?" "I guessed you seemed to be spending lots of time together and I found her hair brush in your bedroom, so I thought you were. But I saw you the other night with Kate, I didn't mean to spy I just nipped back for my computer and you were in the lounge".
"Caroline put her hands over her face, the realization of the other night Kate hearing the door and what he must have seen. "I'm sorry you shouldn't have found out like that, I didn't know you were there". "Mum it's fine, I'm happy for you" she smiled as his head nestled into her chest like it had always her boy, William had always been a mummy's boy. She should have know he wouldn't have minded, that he wanted the best for her, "thank you sweetheart, does Lawrence know?". "No I won't tell him, don't worry when your ready he will be ok, but I'm fine with Kate, happy even it's good you've got someone. That your happy you deserve to be happy, it's late mum I'm going to bed. I love you, night mum" "night William, love you too, "night Kate" Caroline kissed his forehead and watched him climb the stairs.
Kate held her tight "it was ok" Caroline breathed a long sigh of relief, I knew it would be Caroline the boys love you they just want you to be happy. You will see this will all work out and me and you, she grasped Caroline's face "can start our life together". Caroline pulled Kate in for a delicate kiss "God I love you", "I love you too", "right come on let's go to bed". Caroline walked around turning all the lights off and locking the door whilst Kate clung around her waist, Kate this is going to take forever with you doing that."
"So ..." She smirked "come on you upstairs" Kate and Caroline stumbled a little tipsily up the stairs, "where shall I sleep? Is the spare room made up" Kate asked nervously.
"Don't be stupid your in with me, come on bed", "what about the boys?" "Stop worrying you saw William he doesn't mind and Lawrence I'll speak to him when the time comes. Kate nodded she knew better than to argue with Caroline when her mind was made up, it was one of the things she loved about her. Caroline snuggled into Kate "Everything is going to be ok isn't it", " yes it will Caroline " Caroline comforted fell into a deep sleep her head resting across Kate's chest.
