27th of December

The soft sunlight came through the curtains and gave the room a slightly golden look and made Sofia's hair shine. With a smile on her face, her head on the shoulder of her naked lover, the blonde was sure, this was a good way to start into a new day.

"This was the first sex of the day, you are aware, I will pull you a couple of time more into bed during the day."

"Honey, you won't leave the bed before we didn't have sex again." Sara handed the opened bottle of champagne to her girlfriend. This was why she bought the little fridge for their bedroom. How convenient it was to have a fridge with cold drinks right beside your bed. Okay, a fridge looked a little bit different than a nightstand, but who cared about that?

"Lucky for us we don't have to hurry, Greg took the dogs out, we can stay here a little bit longer, finish this bottle, try to find a spot on our bodies we haven't kissed yet and have another nap. I bet when we finish the bottle I'll be exhausted."

"Because of the alcohol or because of me?" Sara asked coy.

"Both." With closed eyes she savored the taste of the cham-pagne, how the cold liquid ran slowly down her throat. Usually she was the beer type of woman, but today champagne seemed to be the perfect pick. After their late dinner yesterday, on the balcony with candle light and having Sara as her dessert, being Sara's dessert, this was the perfect way to continue their little vacation. Okay, there was no ocean in front of their door, but the view on the reservoir in the sunshine wasn't too bad and when they felt like seeing the ocean, all they had to do was getting into the car. Maybe not after their champagne breakfast, today they should only take the bus.

"How long do you think we can hide here?"

"It's only eight in the morning, they will give us a little bit more time. All phones are switched off, so the only people, who can disturb us, are our housemates. Don, Sally and Tony are out at work, Jules will be busy with the twins, Tanya helps her, they should have other things on their mind than us. Scooby and Rantanplan might want to join us at one point."

"No dogs in the bed!"

"They are our babies. Will you send our baby out of the bed when it wants to be here? Has a bad dream and needs the mommies."

"Our baby is a human, there's a difference, Dear. I love your dogs as much as you do, but they don't belong in our bed. Not unless we have the bedcover on."

"You can be so mean. Our poor babies. But this morning they need to stay out of bed, I want it for us alone. We deserve some quality time after the last weeks and I really hope we're through the biggest trouble. I'd like to have a few weeks of ordinary work - as far as it's possible in our jobs - and have an ordinary life again. No baby kidnapper, who have an eye on my friend's babies and no killer, who thinks my ex is a pig and slices her open."

"To see her inner beauty." Sara shook her head. Sofia had told her what happened in interrogation, what the killer said. To Sara it sounded a little bit familiar and she was sure, doctor Luria would come to the same conclusion she came to. Schizophrenia.

"It sounds mean but Ellen had no inner beauty. I thought about our relationship a couple of times since I saw her dead on the street, tried to figure out why we were a couple. She could be very charming and convincing, when she wanted you, you were hers. I've no idea how she did it, but I wasn't able to resist. She made me feel beautiful, important, sexy, adorable and then she let me suffer because I did something I wasn't supposed to do. Within seconds you felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her, even when you hadn't done anything. I think she was a great manipulator and I was her victim, was a happy victim for a while before I realized, what was going on."

"You fell for her, she pretended to be what you were looking for. You're not the first and not the last person, who was played. Happened to me a couple of times too." For a second the brunette thought of Hank, who used her to cheat on his girlfriend. Stupid man and stupid her for not realizing what he did. And why did she date him at all? Only to make Grissom jealous, who didn't seem to care.

"Process of learning. A painful way of learning. I'm glad I'm with you."

"You never know in which way I play you." Sara teased.

"You tease me, you don't play me. Only when it comes to housewife duty you try to play me. It's your turn to clean the room this week and I won't let you get away with not doing it."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay, then I will leave the bed and start my cleaning duty. No more sex, no more snuggling, I'm devoted to my broom. See you later, darling." Before Sara could push away her blanket she was pulled into Sofia's arms and found herself pinned under the blonde.

"You will stay in bed until I'm done with you. You're my sex slave today, everything else has to wait. Understand me?"

"I thought I'm supposed to clean the room."

"In two days, yes. Not today, not tomorrow. The next forty-eight hours all your duties are in bed, are satisfying me. Several times a day. Am I clear? Or do I have to get my old handcuffs and cuff you to the bed?"

"A little game with your cuffs? Sounds very...arousing...yeah Honey, get them. I'm sure you can show me what you want to do with them, how to use them in the most satisfying way." Sara's hand found its way under Sofia's shirt and stroke the blonde's nipple. Why not see what her lover could do with the cuffs?


"Wow, they really made it out of bed. I thought you'll stay in there forever." Tanya said when Sara and Sofia came into the living room. "Are you bored upstairs?"

"No, we need a little break, there's only a certain amount of multiple orgasm you can handle on one morning." Sofia shot back dryly.

"Multiple orgasm? Maybe I need to switch to women too. Can't remember the last time I had multiple orgasm with a man...you don't know any good woman, who is single?"

"I know a few women, who are single."

"We should go out and meet them."

"You turned gay?" Jules came into the room.

"It's worth a try. And what I heard sounded promising. I'm sure you have a disorder name for it but I don't need to know it."

"Homosexuality isn't a disorder anymore. My colleagues woke up a couple of years ago. In your case we can settle with a F66.1 or any other number, I'm sure I can match a few when it comes to you."

"You're not a nice cousin, we won't take you with us."

"That's fine with me, I don't need a new lover, I'm happy with my fiancé."

"And where are your twins?" Sara asked.

"Asleep in their room. They want to spend an hour or so with their godmothers later, so that their mother can catch an hour of sleep after a night full with cries. If you can fit your godchild between food and Sofia."

"I take Sofia with me for a walk, we have two dogs, they need a walk too. Why don't we prepare some lunch, eat in the garden and afterwards have a walk around the reservoir?"

"Sounds like a good idea. Let me prepare it." Sofia kissed Sara and went into the kitchen.

"She satisfies you, she cooks for you, she agrees on everything you say, I want exactly the same! I want somebody who loves me, adores me, does everything for me...and when I think about it, I think I want a man...one with good equipment."

"Who shares your interests, looks gorgeous, gives you all the freedom you want." Sara added to the list.

"Yes! Do I ask for too much?"

"You do."

"Bugger. How did you get Sofia?"

"I was arrested and Sofia saved my innocent ass. My heroine."

"Aah, so sweet. Maybe I need a cop, a hero."

"I know who's single, he likes video games, is a wonderful man." Sara grinned.

"He's a bad sport when he loses."

"He's a man."

"True. And sexy. Especially when he loses."

"You should ask him out for a date...and let him win."

"The date is okay, but I won't let him win! No way!"

"Okay, send him a text, tell him you're looking for a billiard buddy for tonight. He's a really good player, he'll agree on that."

"I suck when it comes to billiard."

"Perfect for his male ego."

"And the best reason for my payback when he sits on my chair in the office...are you scared of the moment when you will sit there?"

"No, I'm sure you're a good dentist. Jules trusts you and I trust her."

"She's not your therapist anymore."

"No, one more session and I'm free of therapy."

"Really? That's good. You got rid off Amanda? How did you do that? Garlic? A wooden..."

"Tanya!" Jules stopped her cousin and looked angry at her.

"Sorry."

"You don't like your cousin?"

"Uhm...we don't agree on many things."

"Don't let her talk you into not liking Amanda, Sara. Don't listen to her."

"You can't stand her." Sara concluded amused.

"She might be...no she is a good therapist, I don't doubt it but... she's too much a therapist for me. Sorry, I can't handle shrinks ...Jules is okay, I love her, but Amanda...we don't go along very good."

"I thought so, you never joined Jules when she went to see her."

"No."

"Don't worry Jules, I like my shrink, she's the second best choice. The fact that Tanya doesn't like her doesn't irritates me. You can't like everybody and just because somebody is family, it doesn't mean this person is nice. My brother is a good example."

"For what? Sofia came with two plates from the kitchen. Steaming pasta and a tomato sauce with sprinkled cheese. "Fast and yummy food, sorry, we'll get the healthy stuff later." She put the plate in front of Sara.

"We will, Greg's parents come over for dinner, we need to cook something special."

"Greg or me should prepare dinner." Jules said.

"No you have enough work with the twins. I sent Shane a text, he'll meet us in one hour at the dog park, with his special steaks."

"Oh yeah, right, I forgot them. Perfect. Jules, can you get our babies ready so we can start after lunch?"

"Sure. Come on, good for nothing cousin. Do something useful."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tanya got up and followed Jules.

"What did she do to be in trouble?" Sofia asked when they were alone.

"Told me she doesn't like her cousin, who is my shrink. Jules must fear that I won't see doctor Luria anymore when I hear something bad about her. Not that it had changed my mind, like I said, she's the second best and the best isn't available anymore ...not as a therapist."

"She's your friend, even better."

"Yes. Okay, our plans for tonight. We do have enough frozen mixed vegetables in the freezer for all of us, Shane has the meat, all we need are the potatoes, we can throw them into the oven and they can bake themselves. Less work, very tasty."

"When you turn domestic, you're really sexy." Sofia purred.

"Keep that in mind for later, we don't have time for sex now. Unfortunately. First the dogs and twins, meeting Shane, spend time with our friends, dinner and later we can continue where we stopped this morning."

"I liked the plan we had this morning more...with all the sex ...guess I knew them already, it was only wishful thinking." Sofia sighed. She really liked her friends and liked to have parties in her house but...sex with Sara was better.

"I do have another bottle of champagne for tomorrow, when we find somebody to take out the dogs, we can start tomorrow the same way we did today."

"Sounds like a good start. And no meeting with other people for tomorrow! Only us, the dogs for a walk and we go back to our room. Lets be anti-social and ignore them all."

"I'm sure nobody is mad when we take some time for ourselves." Sara pulled Sofia in her arms and kissed her. "I love you."

"Love you more, Sweetheart." Maybe it wasn't that bad to have all the people here later. Sara would be by her side the whole time, she could kiss her, hold her hand and pull her on her lap. And when they excused themselves around ten, nobody would tell them to stay up.


"You know, this is a good training." Sara closed the last button of Eric's romper suit, placed a kiss on the belly of the boy and smiled when he sent her a smile. Or smiled for whatever reason, she wanted to believe, he smiled at her. He was changed and ready to go to bed.

"And we passed it summa cum laude." Sofia finished Jorja's romper suit. Two freshly changed babies, both not crying, apparently happy and a little bit tired as the girl in front of her just yawned.

"Of course we did." Sara lifted Eric and held him in her arms, watched him grabbing at something invisible in the air. "Oh, you are so cute, my little boy. Who is a my little boy? Eric is my little boy. Come on, give me a little smile."

"I give you a kiss when you ask me nicely." The blonde offered.

"Maybe Eric wants to kiss me. Do you want to kiss me, Eric?" Sara kissed the boy.

"You know, I could become jealous."

"Why would you? You're way too happy seeing me happy with him, shows you, I am capable of handling babies, which is very good when we have our baby. Auntie Sofia and me will have a baby too, a playmate for you and Jorja. Our baby will be younger, so you and your sister have to take care of him or her."

"And you have to fit in some time for your godchild when you take care of our child. When we have to look after all three." Sofia lifted Jorja up. "Time to go to bed. You kissed your mommy and daddy good night, smiled at your grandparents and now we will take you into your lovely beds." Sofia and Sara offered to take the babies to bed on their way to their own bed. It was after ten, time for the twins to go back to bed and time for them to have some time alone. In the living room were still a lot of people. next to Greg and Jules were Greg's parents, Shane, Tony and Sally. Don and Tanya had excused themselves - or were sent away after arguing who was the better video game player - to have a fight on the basketball field; on the TV screen.

"Oh look, your teddy bear waited for two hours for you to come back. He will look after you until your parents come back." Sofia placed Jorja in her bed.

"Or you make sure your sister is fine." Sara stroke softly over Eric's cheek. "And when the sexy blonde CSI and I need you, we'll call you."

"He isn't a cop."

"Maybe he'll become one. Or a ranger? Ranger take care of people too."

"Or a doctor or a CSI. They are both so cute in their dresses." Sofia checked on both babies again before she switched on the baby audio monitor, so they could be heard in the living room before she switched off the light and left with Sara.

"Now? What are your plans for now?" Sara asked.

"Bedroom. Our guests are fine, we don't have to go back and continue where we left this morning. I want you in our bed, I want you naked and I want your hands all over me."

"You're very demanding." Sara pulled the blonde into her arms and kissed her shortly. "What are you giving?"

"Multiple orgasm?"

"As a responsible mother you have to keep an ear on the baby."

"Are you telling me our baby will ruin our sex life?"

"Yes." The brunette chuckled. "First it will cry, then it will climb in our bed and at the end we'll stay awake the whole night and wait for it to come home."

"Sounds like you want to talk me out of having a baby."

"No, I tell you what will happen when we're parents."

"We'll be a happy family." Sofia pushed her lover onto the bed. "With an extraordinary child. One that will sleep the whole night, gives us enough time for ourselves...not like your godchild!" They heard the cry of Eric.

"He's gorgeous." Sara kissed Sofia, got up and left the room.

"He stole my woman! She leaves me to look after him. And when her godchild cries, his sister will start soon too. Means, it will be my turn because for some reason I didn't hear, we don't let the parents look after the babies, we do it ourselves." The blonde sighed, got up and before she could reach the door, Sara came with Eric on her arm into the room.

"Eric doesn't want to be in the room without somebody to look after him, somebody bigger than Jorja."

"If anybody had told me you act like this a month ago, I'd have laughed my ass off."

Sara grinned. "All for love."

"Yeah...I hear my love, she protests that her brother is away." Sofia went into the other room and got Jorja on her arms. "You know, it's not fair, Eric gets taken out of bed and you're supposed to stay here alone. Come on, we have a look what your brother is doing."

Eric was in Sara's arms, who sat on the bed. Satisfied with his new situation, the boy didn't cry anymore.

"You look so beautiful, sitting on our bed, a baby in your arms, the perfect picture of a happy mother and her baby. If I had a hand free, I'd take a photo of you." Sofia sat next to Sara, put Jorja on the blanket and let her hand run over the belly of the girl.

"I'm sure there'll be plenty of moments for you to take photos of."

"Will you pamper our baby as much as you pamper Eric?"

"What do you think?" Carefully Sara placed the boy next to his sister. Side by side, secured by the legs of the women so they couldn't roll off the bed, the babies were quiet and seemed to be happy.

"I think you'll be a wonderful mother." Carefully Sofia slipped closer to her lover and kissed her.

"Mhm, I realize there are talents I had no idea of they exist." She deepened the kiss. Who would have thought she'd be abso-lutely relaxed around babies one day. "I bet when we carry them back in their beds, they'll cry again."

"Probably. Shall we leave them here a few more minutes? When they're sound asleep we take them back."

"Okay." Sara pulled Sofia in her arms. A couple of minutes snuggling, watching the babies and calming down. After all those days of stress, of bad news and a lot of work, it was good just to sit here, do nothing and get your mind of everything. One more day for them, one more day without work, time to refill their batteries. Maybe she didn't want a champagne breakfast for tomorrow, maybe she wanted a breakfast on the beach with the dogs. Rantanplan and Scooby were their children, they had to make sure they were fine too.

"Shall we..." Sara stopped. The eyes of her lover were closed and her chest moved evenly up and down, the blonde was sound asleep. Like a little angel on a white cloud, a little soft smile on her lips. Carefully Sara pulled her cell phone out of her pockets and took a photo of the scene. This was a picture, she needed for eternity. Her Sofia, her big love, asleep next to her and the twins in front of them. Today they were here with the babies of their friends, next year it would be their own child. With these thoughts their future together could only be wonderful.


THE END!
