Hey guys!
So, this chap has been sleeping on my computer for a while now. Half written and waiting to be finished and out....
Anyway! Here's a very, very, very delayed new chap. One more to go and this story is done. Maybe two chaps, but definitely one more (don't know when that one's gonna come around... but please bear with me and stick around! Making puppy eyes here!)
Hope you like it!

26 - Wonders never cease
Standing as far away from a very scary looking sales lady, and rearranging her sunglasses over her head, Haruka was seriously considering burning down the place. Not that she had have pyromaniac tendencies ever before, but the way that sales lady was pretty much emptying the entire content of that shop to the blonde, was driving her nuts!
But the fact that the lady was showing every single item to her, while pointing the endless list of all the reasons why any girl should always have at least one garter -really, a garter? She didn't even own a freaking skirt! When would she ever need one?- was not the worst part. Oh no, the worst part, without a doubt, about her current situation, was the brown haired woman standing right next to the blonde.
"Mom, can we go now?" she asked, for the nth time, rolling her eyes.
"But, baby, look at this!" her mother exclaimed, showing her a pink laced bra "Isn't this the cutest little thing ever?"
No, was Haruka's immediate mental answer. It was pink, for God's sake! But reasoning with her mother has never been fruitful, so she simply shook her shoulders.
Her mother frowned at her obvious indifference "Can't you be a little bit more cheerful? I didn't bring you here with me for you to mop around!"
"Why did you bring me here, anyway?" was Haruka's answer. She couldn't believe her mother had actually managed to dragg her all the way out of her house and into the mall. On a saturday afternoon, to that! The place was full of crazy women all around!
"Is it really so wrong for me to want to spend an afternoon with my daughter?" Akiko asked, turning around towards the sales lady and smiling sweetly at her "Kids!" she exclaimed to her, who in turn showed the brunette woman yet another item.
And a huge, happy smile suddenly made its way into Akiko's face, making Haruka really, really nervous all of a sudden, as her mother turn to her again. A black, laced and mesh teddy body in her hands. With garters!
"Oh, baby, look at this!" her mother exclaimed "I bet you'd look so pretty on this sexy little thing! Why don't you try it on?"
"Hell no!" was Haruka's answer, eyes wide open.
Akiko frowned "Oh, baby, come on! I bet Michiru would love to see you on this"
"Mom!" was pretty much all Haruka could answer to that one, blushing, incredibly embarrassed at her mother's comment.
"Or maybe you want to get it for her?" Akiko ventured, now looking at the sales lady again "She's such a pretty girl, and modeling a sexy little outfit is always so good for the passion..."
"Oh my God!" Haruka yelled, cheeks burning red "You did not just say that!"
Ok, so, the idea of having Michiru on that black little thing wasn't exactly a bad one. Quite the opposite. Definitively a turn on! But was it absolutely necessary for her mother to actually say that?
She was really happy her mother had accepted her relationship with Michiru in such a good way. But this was just too much! Even for her crazy mother!
"What? Sweetie, I know you two love each other and all" her mother said "But having a healthy sex life is just as important..."
"Mom!" she yelled again, interrupting her.
But when her mind decided to simply shut down, too embarrassed after her mother's comment -and kind of turned on after the pretty picture of a certain aquamarine haired girl wearing that black, sexy little thing-, and not knowing what to say to her mother to successfully shut her up for good, the tall blonde simply turned around and walked out of the little lingerie shop.
She walked out, desperately trying to fight down her blush, when someone bumped into her, making her stumbled. She gained her balance again, and looked up, willing to apologized for walking out like that and then simply get out of that mall, when a glimpse of blue hair got her attention.
Curly blue hair. With blue eyes she recognized immediately.
Crap!, she thought to herself, remembering her mother still inside the shop, this can't be good!
"Oh, Haruka!" Michiru's mother greeted her, a polite smile on her face "What a pleasure to run into you here!" she exclaimed.
"Ruka?" came her girlfriend's sweet voice before the blonde could say anything "I thought you were spending the day with your mother... what are you doing here?"
She looked at Michiru, a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, as a nervous hand made its way through short blonde hair "Well..."
At that exact moment, Akiko decided to walked out of the shop and to her daughter.
"Haruka, sweetie, why did you walked out like that?"
The blonde looked at her girlfriend, an apologetic look upon her pretty face "I'm sorry about this" she whispered in advance, knowing her mother would probably make them both embarrass in front of Michiru's mother...
"Kasumi?" her mother asked, green eyes wide open "Is that you?"
Michiru's mother smiled openly then, almost jumping like a school girl "Akiko! What a surprise!"
The brunette woman smiled back, hands on her hips "Kasumi, what on earth?" she asked "Explain to me why you still look like a thirty year old! That's not fair!"
"Oh, please!" Kasumi answered her, going to hug the other woman "You look amazing! Gorgeous, as usual!"
The tall blonde frowned, not really understanding what was going on in front of her. She felt Michiru's hand on her arm, gently pulling from it.
"What's going on?" was Michiru's whispered question, not really looking at her girlfriend but rather at their mothers.
"I have no idea..." the blonde mumbled.
"Oh! Let me introduce you to my daughter!" Akiko exclaimed, now looking at her blonde daughter.
"She's your daughter?" Kasumi asked, obviously surprised.
Akiko blinked once, and then noticed Michiru standing there. She blinked again, looking at the elder blue haired woman, before a surprised smile came to her lips "Oh my God!" she exclaimed "Why didn't I realized? Michiru Kaioh! I should have known!"
"Oh yes, I can't believe I didn't put two and two together!" Kasumi exclaimed, now looking at the tall blonde, and quite confused, young woman "She looks like her daddy, doesn't she?"
"Yes, she does" Akiko said, nodding her head, a tender, proud smile on her face.
"You two know each other?" Michiru asked, frowning.
"Know each other?" Kasumi repeated "We practically grew up together!"
"Yes, yes, we were next door neighbors for years!" Akiko informed, a happy, nostalgic smile on her face "Oh, those were the days!"
"And then Banken came, and took you away!" Kasumi added, the same smile on her face.
"You knew my dad?" Haruka asked, surprised out of her shoes.
"Oh yes, wonderful man" Michiru's mother answered, nodding her head.
The two elder women interlaced their arms, like two happy school girls, and started making their way to the small coffee shop at the corner. Two confused, frowning younger women right behind them, watching as the first two sat down on a table, smiling and laughing all the way.
"Haruka, Michiru, come and join us!" Akiko exclaimed, calling out to them, before turning back to her old friend "This is amazing! I mean, what are the odds? Your daughter dating mine?"
"Yes, I know..." Kasumi trailed off, looking at the pair in question as they took a seat on the table as well "I have to admit, it was such a shock at first" she admitted, looking back into Akiko's green eyes "I always dreamed of being a granny, you know?"
"Mom..." Michiru whispered, blushing. A hand going up, massaging her temples.
"Oh, I know what you mean" Akiko said, nodding her head in agreement "I'm still waiting for Jadeite to make me a happy granny! But that's gonna take a while..." she mumbled. But then she smiled again "But they can still do that!" she exclaimed "With the technology these days..."
Michiru grabbed the blonde's forearm, blue eyes wide open, leaning on her, as their mothers kept on talking "I think they're gonna start planning our wedding any minute now..." she whispered.
Haruka simply nodded her head, too surprised to even muttered a word.
"Wouldn't that be just wonderful?" Kasumi said, smiling too "We're gonna be grannies!"
That last sentence was enough to snap Haruka out of her stupor. She blinked once, before standing up, taking Michiru's hand in hers and making her stand up as well. First, her mother talking about her sex life with Michiru. Then both their mothers knew each other. And now this?
This day was getting too crazy, too fast...
"Before you decide which hair color our babies should have" she started "We're out of here"
"You can do that?" Kasumi asked, frowning.
"Oh, yes!" Akiko exclaimed "I've read all about it on some magazine! Apparently, you can even choose the skin tone and the eyes, and..."
"Oh my God!" Haruka exclaimed, green eyes wide open "This is unbelievable!"
Michiru giggled at her girlfriend's desperate expression, despite her own embarrassment. Gently pulling from her hand, softly caressing her soft, warm skin with her own fingers to try to soothe her, she looked down at their mothers.
"I'm sure you two have a lot to catch up" she said, eying her mother, but smiling to Akiko "So, we're gonna leave you two to do just that, ok?"
"Ok, but, sweetie" Akiko said, looking up at her daughter "You sure you don't want that sexy little teddy body? I can get it for you..."
Her cheeks went bright red at that. Green eyes wide open, she let her hands up in the air in an exasperated maner, before taking Michiru's hands in hers again and turning around.
"What teddy body?" Michiru asked, once they were at a safety distance from their crazy mothers.
Haruka looked at her, blinking, and blushing yet again. She shook her head, as a mischievous smile made its way to her lips.
"Don't worry, I can get you one later" she said, winking "You know, when my mother's not around to make awkward comments about our sex life..."
Michiru giggled at her then "Oh, I bet that was interesting..."
"You have no idea"
