Chapter 14

The flight to Arizona was very boring for both the girls but they managed to either talk to each other to keep themselves entertained or sleep. Naya didn't like flying very much so Heather made sure to keep her distracted by holding her close and talking to her while she fell asleep.

When the plane landed and they were walking through the airport to get their bags Naya could sense that Heather had already started to get nervous. "Baby it's going to be fine." Naya took hold of Heather's hand and Heather instantly relaxed a little with the brunette's touch.

"Thanks sweetheart. I know. I'm sure it will. I'm just a little nervous that's all."

Heather waved a taxi down outside the airport and they hopped in. Heather stared out the window for the first half of the drive until Naya reached over and turned Heather to look at her. "You will be fine Heather. Your mum loves you and I know that she will be alright with this. If she isn't at first I'll be here to comfort you and she will come round eventually when she sees how much we love each other. How much I love you. Because I love you this much." Naya explains as she stretches her arms out as far as they go.

Heather laughed and pulled Naya's arms around her to hug her tightly. "You are so adorable you know that?"

"I know" Naya says with a smug grin on her face. "But I know that you love me more than that" Heather states as she smiles at Naya who just giggles. "Ok maybe a little more. Like up to the furthest star and back or even further than that maybe."

"I love you that much too Nay." Heather cups her hands on Naya's cheeks and pulls her in for a kiss before the taxi pulls up outside her mum's house. "Right. Let's do this." Heather tries to say confidently as she hands over the money to the taxi driver.

Heather and Naya walk up to the front door with their bags and Heather takes a deep breath before opening the door and calling out "Mum! We're here!" Elizabeth Morris runs into the room and hugs Heather "Hey sweety! I've missed you so much!"

"I missed you too mum" Heather almost starts to cry but quickly pulls herself together and pulls away from her mum.

"Naya honey! Come here! I missed you too! It's been ages!" Elizabeth pulls Naya into a hug. "Yeah I agree! Nice to see you Mrs Morris."

"Naya how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Elizabeth"

Naya laughs "Sorry will do." Heather picks up her bag off the floor and heads up the stairs. "Come on Nay. Let's go put out bags in my room and come back down." Naya nods and follows.

As soon as they are in the room Heather shuts the door, throws her back down and grabs Naya, kissing her. "You alright baby?" Naya asks taking Heather's hands in her own. "Yeah I'm better now. I just needed a little kiss to boost my confidence."

"So you're feeling more confident now?" Naya looks concerned for her girlfriend. "Not just yet." Heather says teasingly and kisses Naya again. "Ok let's go."

Once they get back downstairs they all sit in the lounge on the couch. "So Heather, you said you had big news that you wanted to tell me and that's why you're here so…"

Heather turns slightly to face her mum on the couch and takes a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. She knows she has to be strong and set a good example for Naya since she would be doing the same tomorrow with her family. "Mum before I tell you, I want you to know that I am extremely happy and I have never been happier in my life than I am now and have been lately. Please keep that in mind." Elizabeth nodded to show Heather that she understands. "Ok well… I am in love. I'm in a relationship and have been for a little while now and I truly love this person more than life itself. I am so much happier when this person is around. I have loved them for so long; even when I was with Taylor I had feelings for them. When I'm with this person, I feel so much lighter, like anything is possible and I've been told by people that I pretty much get all bubbly around them and I feel all bubbly inside too. Nothing else seems to matter and I always feel relaxed and safe whenever I am with them."

Heather stops and sees her mum is thinking about everything she just said. "Honey, are you talking about Naya?" Elizabeth asks with a slight smile on her face.

"Um… Wait… What?" Heather looks up at her mum confused. "How did you know?"

"Heather everything you just said, I see in you when you are around Naya. No one else. When Naya isn't with you, you definitely don't look as happy. Even if you do look happy, you look happier around Naya. I also see it in Naya's eyes when she looks at you. That whole speech you just did almost made her cry."

Heather turns to see her girlfriend with tears forming in her eyes and a little smile on her face. She immediately grabs hold of Naya's hands "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to make you cry." Naya laughs quietly "Happy tears sweetheart. I love you so much."

"I love you too Nay." Heather then turns back to her mum "So does that mean you're ok with it?"

"Ok with it? Heather I couldn't be happier for you! I can really see you two love each other and yeah I admit it's a little bit of a shock but I'll come around to it soon enough. Heather I love you and just want you to be happy, and like I said before, that one there" Elizabeth points to Naya "makes you extremely happy."

Heather's smile gets even bigger hearing her mum saying this and she feels like a whole weight has been lifted off her shoulder. She stands up and pulls her mum up to hug her. "Thankyou so much mum. You wouldn't believe how you just made me feel." Heather whispered to her mum. "Don't be silly sweetheart I love you. Naya get over here." Naya gets up and joins in the hug with the other two.

"Right. What would you two like to do today? I'm going to take you out for dinner tonight as a little congratulations from me but it's only about 1:30pm so we have to do something else." Elizabeth asks the girls.

"Thanks mum. Hmmm… Nay, what do you want to do?" Heather looks at Naya letting her decide. "I don't mind as long as it's with you and not entirely boring." Naya grins as she answers. "How about we all go for a walk and catch up? I have missed my daughter and would like to be updated on her life and things with Naya." Elizabeth offers.

"Sure Elizabeth. That sounds like a great idea." Says Naya as she grabs Heather's hand and they all walk out the door.

They get back from their walk and there's still plenty of time before dinner so they put on a movie and sit around watching it. Once the movie ended, everyone went off to their rooms to get ready to go out for dinner.

Elizabeth tells them to dress casual so Naya goes for black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a red woollen throw over shirt. Heather puts on a pair of her jeans and a red halter neck top with a black cardy over to keep her warm.

"You, my love, look gorgeous." Naya whispers in Heather's ear in the back seat of the car. "Thanks baby. You do too."

At the restaurant Heather holds Naya's hand the whole time which works perfectly since Heather is right handed and Naya is left handed. Elizabeth watches the girls exchanging looks all night and can't help but smile. She had never seen her daughter so happy.

They get home and decide to head off to bed almost straight away since they have to get up early again to catch a flight to California in the morning.

Heather held Naya close while Naya had her arm wrapped around Heather's waist and her head lying on the blonde's chest. Heather was placing kisses on Naya's head every now and then which kept Naya happy and comforted.

"I love you so so so so so so so so so so so SOOO much" Heather said and placed another kiss on Naya's head. Naya giggled "I love you too Hemo."

"Everything will be fine tomorrow Nay. Try not to worry about it and get some sleep. I'll hold you like this all night and I won't leave until you wake up tomorrow and we have to get out of bed." Naya nodded and felt her worry melt away with Heather's words as she drifted off to sleep.
