if you guys keep doing such an amazing job of reviewing it would be great :) all i have left to say is enjoy!
"Yes…okay…no it wasn't…no there wasn't…I will do…yes…okay thank you…right thanks…good bye" Naomi hung up the phone and placed it on the table. She leant her elbows on the table in front of her and put her head into her hands. With a sigh she dragged her hands down her face.
She had been on the phone all morning to different people, trying to sort out the window. By the time she had finished speaking to the insurance company she was fed up. Naomi stood up and shuffled to the sink where she poured her cold coffee down the drain.
"You okay love?" Gina asked as she appeared at the kitchen doorway.
"yeah i am fine" Naomi smiled, putting on a fake smile on her tired face to reassure her mother. Naomi leant back against the counter and looked away from her mother as silence settled around them.
"I am proud of you love" Gina expressed as she walked closer to her daughter.
"What for letting my child take drugs that nearly killed her or not being there for my family when someone shot a bullet through the window?" Naomi asked in a harsh tone, her tiredness making her grumpy. It didnt hurt Gina, she was used to her daughters attitude.
"No, for staying strong" Gina whispered softly with a small smile before pulling the younger blonde into a hug. Naomi would normally pretend to hate Gina's loving affectionate gesture's but she felt too worn out to complain, as well as the fact that she did like hugs of her mother even though she would never admit it.
Naomi went back upstairs and hovered by the guest room door, the place where she and Emily had slept. Naomi felt weird when she thought about how she had got excited at the fact that she slept in the same bed with Emily, a thing she had been doing for years.
Emily turned over to see Naomi by the door, She sat up and smiled, but it faded when she saw how tired Naomi looked.
"You called the insurance company?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, I have made a claim and they are looking into the information" Naomi nodded.
"Good" Emily said as she sat up "What about the police?" Emily checked. she patted the empty space next to her.
"Yeah, Cook sorted them out but you still need to go be interviewed" Naomi informed her as she walked over to the bed and climbed back in. Naomi could see the worried look on her wife's face "I can go with you, if you want?" Naomi suggested.
"That would help" Emily replied as she cuddled up to Naomi, resting her head on the blonde women's chest. "I am scared Nai" Emily mumbled, feeling embarrassed of herself. Naomi wrapped a secure arm around her wife.
"Hey don't be silly, your safe now" Naomi reassured as she kissed the top of the Emily's head "You and Grace are fine and safe, no one got hurt, that's all that matters. The window will be replaced, the person who shot the bullet through the window will be caught and everything will go back to normal" Naomi assured as she squeezed Emily.
"Can things go back to normal?" Emily whispered into the blonde's chest.
"What do you mean?" Naomi asked in a confused tone as she looked down at the little red head in her arms.
"I mean you come back home, I miss you, Grace misses you I just…I just want my wife back" Emily sighed as she tightened her grip around Naomi, waiting with anticipation for Naomi's answer.
"You still mad at me?"
"I was, but then I realised how much I need you, how much love you and I just want you back home Naoms" Emily expressed.
"So you forgive me?" Naomi double checked, she didn't want Emily to feel any resentment to her or regret later on in the week if she moved back home.
"Yes, you didn't mean for it to happen and well shit happens…Grace is fine and that is all that matters, right?"
"Right" Naomi smiled "Ems?"
"Yeah?" Emily replied, she looked up and watched as Naomi slowly leant down and kissed her on the lips. Emily had missed the affection she would receive from her wife. Her tummy felt like it was doing flips of joy, she never got bored of Naomi's lips.
"I love you Ems" Naomi declared, last time she had said these words she used them to try beg for Emily's forgiveness, a reason for Emily to forgive her. But this time she used the words casually like she had been doing for years. The three words of 'I love you' didn't take Naomi much effort to use because Naomi didn't have to think if the words were true, she really did love Emily, no doubt about it. Emily sat up to face Naomi, so the blonde could see how much the words she was about to say meant.
"I love you too Naoms" Emily replied. She nestled back into the comfort of Naomi's embrace. Both women lay for a moment, they ravished the comfortable silence, something they hadn't shared in a while.
"Mummy! Mamma!" A shriek of energy was heard as a small, fast blur ran to the bed and climbed onto it before jumping up and down the bouncy mattress.
"Hey baby girl" Naomi gleamed as she reached out and pulled the little girl into her embrace. Grace squirmed about for a moment before relaxing into her mummy's grasp. Grace snuggled herself between Naomi and Emily. Grace felt the warmth and love off her parents, she felt like her parents weren't pretending to be happy anymore, but actually truthfully were happy.
Naomi lifted her head up and looked over at her wife. Emily felt Naomi's stare and turned to lock eyes with her wife. They smiled and for a second Naomi actually forget about her mistake and things going shit afterwards. She felt like Grace taking the drugs had never happened or the bullet being shot through their window. But most important of all she felt happy.
So its a really short chapter but it was just to fill you in because you havnt had a chapter update in ages.
