The Honeymoon

Chapter 1

As the sunsets over the Homestead, it's quiet. Waverly and Nicole haven't left the porch as Waverly keeps her head on Nicole's shoulder, watching the sun go down. "I don't think I can quite remember the Homestead ever being so quiet." Waverly runs her hand up and down Nicole's arm.

"That's because it's never been this quiet, at least for as long as I've known you."

"Okay so since it's so quiet, tell me, what are you thinking about right now?"

She turns her head to look into Waverly's eyes which could be the reason for the instant smile on her face, or it could be the memory. "The first day we met and how far we've come since then."

"Who would have thought that you wanting coffee would lead to this?"

"Coffee wasn't the only reason that I walked into Shorty's, but I'm glad I did."

"I'm glad you did too," she leans in and kisses her wife. "You know what I'm thinking about?"

"I was just about to ask."

"The moment I realized that I had feelings for you; I was scared and freaking out because I didn't know that I felt that way for women, but then…all you have to do is smile at me Nicole Haught and everything becomes still." She takes Nicole's hand and kisses it, and then her. "You can't go anywhere because of me; you sacrificed your life to stay here, in Purgatory, with me. Never able to leave and go hike the rockies like you want…"

"Hey, wherever you go, I go. I meant that then and I mean it now. Yes I can't go anywhere, but why would I want to go anywhere without you? We have Jeremy, Needly, Rachel, and Billy to keep us company and a house to ourselves. " She leans down to kiss Waverly's neck having the smile on her face grow even more.

"Yes we um, yes we do!"

"So with this empty house…what would you like to do?" She slowly takes off her red velvet jacket while standing up.

"Well I could think of a few things, but I might need help with this dress." She stands up and starts to walk inside before she feels Nicole take her hand and pull her back. "Or not?"

"Waverly, you are my wife, we just got married and you expect me to just let you walk through that door?" Nicole slides her hands over Waverly's backside and while kissing her, picks her up. She carries her up the stairs and over the threshold as they both laugh until they get to the stairs. Nicole places Waverly on the stairs and just stares, in awe.

"Did you just remember something?"

Nicole gets down on her knees and runs her hands under her wife's dress without taking her eyes off hers. "18 months, 3 weeks and 4 days. For 18 months I didn't know I would see you again. For 3 weeks I never knew if we would get this moment. For 4 days, I didn't know if I would be able to tell you yes…that I want to marry you. Today was perfect, you know minus the entire haunted wedding dress, and I couldn't have asked for anything else. I have been able to call a vision, extraordinary, and now I get to call you my wife. I get to call those lips my wife's lips," she leans in and kisses Waverly. "I get to call these legs my wife's legs," she leans down and kisses her legs over her dress. "I am going to kiss every inch of your body over and over again." Leaning in she kisses her neck, making her way to her shoulder and licks her collarbone back up to her neck. Waverly smiles and moves up a stair. "Where are you going?"

"You think you're going to just be able to say sweet things to me and I won't make you work for it?" She moves up another stair as she starts to slide her dress off her shoulder.

"Oh really?" She starts to undo her pants and takes one step closer taking off her shoes as she does.

"Yes really; this is the first time we have the house to ourselves, we don't have to rush. Wynonna finally took advice and is with Doc, Rachel is with Billy and won't be home, and I am here with my hot wife, sitting on stairs that we have great memories with." She slides the dress off the other shoulder, once again, going up another stair.

"Well I might have to do something about that…are you resisting me? Cause if you are, that's cause for an arrest." She leaves the room, only to come back in wearing her stetson. "I'm going to ask again, Mrs. Earp-Haught, are you resisting me?"

"No officer I am not."

"Then stand up?" She leans her against the wall and starts to undo the back of her dress while kissing every inch of new skin that shows.

"Baby," Waverly states in a whisper as she concentrates on her breathing. She closes her eyes resting her head on the wall feeling herself become exposed and starts to tremble at the touch of Nicole's lips on her skin. She goes to grasp onto something, but can't so she turns around to face her wife. She wraps her arms around her neck as Nicole lifts her up against the wall for support.

"Hey guys sorry….whoa!" Rachel instantly closes her eyes and turns to stop Billy from walking in.

"Rachel," Nicole quickly takes off her hat to cover Waverly. "We thought you were going to hangout with Billy?"

"Yeah and then I remembered how much I hate dresses, you know you really need to put a sock on the door or something because I'm not going replace Wynonna and become Rachel-interuptus."

"Sure, but can you hate the dress less for the next few hours?"

"Yep," Rachel isn't even done saying the word before she's back out the door.

"Rachel-interuptus?"

"It's a thing, but where were we?"

"I believe you were about to take your clothes off, officer."

"I believe you're right!"

"I do want to talk about Rachel though Nicole."

"Now?"

"What no, later, right now, I'm about to be arrested for stealing your heart."

"Baby you stole that a long time ago."
