Chapter 1
The warm, salty breeze blew gently across the beach. Alex sighed as she relaxed further down into the chair she was sitting in. She looked over at the brunette lying next to her, Olivia was totally relaxed. It was late summer and they were finally on vacation. It had been a busy few months; between getting into a routine with a new baby and Olivia working the entire family was ready for some down time. She was so relaxed she barely heard her wife call her name "I'm sorry what?"
"I said this is perfect." Olivia replied as she pulled Alex's hand to her lips and kissed it. She had been looking forward to this vacation all summer.
"Yeah it is," Alex grinned "And I love our boys but this peace and quiet is pretty good too." Alex stared out at the ocean as she thought about her sons; she couldn't believe how fast they were growing. Henry had turned two a month after the baby was born and Jase was now four months old. She turned and looked back at the house and smiled when she could see Henry playing on the deck. They had brought Stacy, their neighbor's daughter, along with them to help keep an eye on the boys. This way she and Olivia could have a little time to themselves. She moaned when she felt Olivia's lips on her neck "Hmm, are you forgetting we're in public?"
Olivia chuckled, she loved teasing her wife "No I didn't forget I just really don't care." Olivia pulled back and stared at the woman next to her, it never ceased to amaze her how much she loved Alex.
Alex stood up and walked around to Olivia's side "I think we should probably head back and start dinner."
Olivia looked up at her wife; she reached her hand up and lightly traced the tattoo on Alex's hip that was partially visible over the top of her bikini bottoms. She chuckled as she noticed Alex shiver "I love this tattoo." She pulled Alex closer and placed a kiss on the tattoo before taking Alex by the hand and pulling her down in the chair with her.
Alex squealed "Liv! I think we need to head back."
Olivia gave her a mischievous grin "And I think we need to stay right here." She leaned in for a kiss and was happy when she felt Alex respond. Olivia was just getting comfortable when she felt a little hand on her arm.
"Mommy! Mama!"
She pulled away from Alex and looked up and smiled when she saw that she was looking her son eye to eye "Well where did you come from?"
Henry smiled back at the couple "What doin Mommy?"
Alex laughed as she stood "We were just coming back to fix dinner."
Henry stared at them for a moment "Mommy kiss Mama."
"I like kissing Mama." Olivia said with a chuckle as she stood. Alex reached down and picked the toddler up.
Henry wrapped himself possessively around Alex "My Mama!"
Olivia smiled at her son then put her hand on Alex's shoulder "Can we share Mama?"
Henry turned and buried his face against Alex's neck so that they barely heard him when he said "My Mama."
Olivia and Alex looked at each other and smiled before heading back to the house. Henry had become quite possessive of Alex since the birth of the baby, and this included occasionally cutting in on Olivia's time with Alex. Olivia looked over at her oldest son in her wife's arms; she made a face which earned her a giggle from the little boy.
That evening they sat on the deck enjoying the dinner Alex had prepared "So Stacy what do you think of the Hamptons?"
"I'm sure she loves it considering she has to keep up with two little boys." Olivia laughed as she looked over at the teen.
"Oh no I don't mind the boys at all, I love them. It's wonderful here." Stacy replied.
"Well what do you say tomorrow night we get a sitter for the boy's while you, me and Olivia go to dinner and head over to the park. They're doing an outdoor movie tomorrow night. How's that sound?"
"That sounds like fun, but who's going to babysit?"
"My mother's friend Joan lives just two houses down and I ran into her this afternoon and she said she would be happy to watch them for us. So tomorrow night is girl's night out!" Alex smiled at the look of excitement on the teenager's face. She had quickly become attached to the girl and loved having her around.
After dinner they went back to the beach so Henry could play. They didn't like taking him in the afternoon because of how hot it was, and because Jase had such a fair complexion they were afraid of him getting too much sun. It amazed everyone how much he looked like a combination of both his mother's. He obviously got a lot of his features from his donor, and since he was a physical match to Alex this resulted in his resemblance to his Mama. He had a much lighter complexion than Olivia and while he had been born with light brown hair it seemed as though his hair color had lightened a little as he got older. The one feature Alex loved most were his eyes, he had Olivia's eyes, they were brown and Alex could swear when she looked into them it was like looking into Olivia's eyes. Henry looked more like Olivia the older he got; his complexion matched hers almost perfectly and his hair was the same color.
Alex looked down at the infant in her arms, he smiled back at her. Alex loved her children more than anything in the world, and it surprised her. Children had never been a part of how she saw her life going. In the past she would admit that if she found the right person she would maybe consider children but she never imagined finding that person. That all changed when she met Olivia, and once they started dating she knew if she was ever going to have children Olivia was the person she wanted to do it with. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Henry giggle from where he was playing in the surf with Olivia.
"Mama! Mama help!" Henry squealed as Olivia picked him up and pretended to throw him in the water.
Alex laughed and handed Jase over to Stacy before making her way down to the water's edge. "Hey buddy is Mommy trying to throw you in the water?"
Olivia set Henry down next to them then wrapped her arm around Alex's waist and pulled her close "No I won't throw him in, but I might throw you in." Olivia gave Alex a mischievous grin. "What do you think Henry, should I throw Mama in?" Alex shot Olivia a warning look but Olivia just smiled in return. Olivia stared at her wife for a minute before slowly leaning in for a kiss. She slowly slid one arm around her waist as she slid her other hand down Alex's leg. She pulled back and smiled when she saw Alex's eyes were still closed, before Alex had time to realize what was happening Olivia quickly scooped her into her arms.
Alex looked Olivia in the eye "Liv don't you dare!" She began to wiggle in Olivia's grasp but knew she was no match for the detective "Olivia I swear if you throw me in I'll kill you."
Olivia waded out knee deep in the water before turning back to check on Henry. "What do you say buddy? Should I throw Mama in?"
Henry laughed and clapped his hands "Do it Mommy!"
Olivia grinned "You heard the man of the house." She swung Alex back before dropping her in the water. She looked back at Henry who was laughing harder than ever. She was so caught up in laughing herself that she didn't realize Alex had surfaced and was reaching for her hand. Olivia squealed when she felt Alex pull her in the water with her. When they both resurfaced Olivia stared open mouthed at her wife "I can't believe you did that!"
"You can't believe it? You throw me in and you can't believe I pulled you in as well? I think your instincts are slipping detective." Alex reached out and took Olivia's hand as they made their way back up the beach. They each took one of Henry's hands in their own and was swinging him between them as they walked.
Later after the boys were down for the night Alex and Olivia sat on the deck with a bottle of wine "Can we just stay here forever?" Olivia asked as she slid closer to Alex. They were sitting in a lounge chair just big enough for both of them.
"That does sound tempting but I think we would miss our beautiful home and all our family and friends." Alex sat her glass down on the table next to her then reached over and took Olivia's from her. She then leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Olivia's lips "I love you."
"I love you too." Olivia replied as she reached her hand up and ran her fingers through her wife's hair. She couldn't believe how lucky she was, she had the perfect life. She had a job that she loved and allowed her to help others, but the most important thing in her life was her family. Olivia never thought she'd have a family and while she, like Alex, had never been very religious she thanked God every day for Alex coming into her life. Then there were her son's, they brought her more joy than she ever thought possible. She loved coming home and Henry running to meet her at the door and the way Jase would smile at her when he saw her. While Henry may have been his Mama's boy, Jase was definitely his Mommy's boy. Olivia gasped when she felt Alex straddle her "Alex, what are you doing?"
Alex grinned as she leaned in and began kissing Olivia's neck "As long as we've been together and you're asking what I'm doing? Really Liv?" She began running her hands up under Olivia's shirt and smiled to herself when she heard a moan escape Olivia's lips. She sat up and before Olivia had time to know what happened Alex pulled her wife's shirt off along with her own. She sighed as they laid back and their now topless bodies pressed together.
"Al, umm Alex?" Olivia was barely able to think as she felt the blonde begin kissing down her neck and chest. She finally managed to pull Alex up so they were looking eye to eye "I thought earlier you weren't a fan of doing this in public?"
"Okay one we're not in public now we're on our deck, and two you were a fan of doing this earlier. Just" she placed a quick kiss to Olivia's lips "Keep" another kiss that lasted a little longer "Quiet" this time the kiss seemed never ending.
Olivia felt her body relax and she knew she would be giving in to Alex's advances. She reached her arms up and wrapped them around Alex pulling her closer. Olivia loved the feel of her wife's body against her own. She felt her breath catch when she felt Alex begin to slip her hand past the waist band of her pants. "Oh God." She whispered.
Alex chuckled as she gently kept moving her hand and began kissing further down Olivia's chest. She took Olivia's breast in her mouth and moaned when she felt Olivia sliding her hand down her pants. "Oh Liv, oh baby." They were both so caught up in one another that they failed to hear the sliding doors opening.
"Oh my God!" Stacy said as she quickly turned her back to avoid seeing any more than she already had.
Alex quickly pushed herself down onto Olivia to block Stacy from seeing either of them. She buried her head against Olivia's shoulder for a second to calm herself. Once she caught her breath she looked up at the teen "Um is something wrong?"
"Uh, no, uh I was just coming down to sit outside for a little while. I'm so sorry I'll just um, I'll just head back inside." Even though it was dark all three could tell they were blushing.
Alex and Olivia stayed quiet until they heard the door shut; they were quiet for a minute before Alex began laughing. Olivia pushed her up she could see her "What are you laughing at?"
Alex leaned down and placed a kiss to her cheek "I'm laughing at what just happened."
"I'm sorry but I fail to see why it's funny. Our seventeen year old neighbor just walked in on us having sex! I'll be surprised if her mother ever allows us to be around her again." Olivia had never been so embarrassed in her life; she just wished Stacy had waited another few minutes before coming outside. She pushed Alex back and sat up and put her shirt on and handed Alex hers.
"Liv I seriously doubt her mother's going to keep her from coming around." Olivia gave her a skeptical look "I'm sure of that because I doubt she's going to go home and tell her mom what happened." Alex stood and took Olivia's hand and they made their way up to their bedroom, both silently hoping they didn't run into the teen.
The next morning Alex was fixing breakfast while Olivia was sitting at the table feeding Jase and occupying Henry. Olivia ducked her head when Stacy walked into the kitchen "Good morning." Alex said as if nothing had happened. Olivia raised her head just enough to look at her wife. She couldn't understand how Alex could act like nothing had happened the night before.
"Morning." Stacy replied before taking a seat. Breakfast was quiet and the only one's talking were Henry and Alex.
Once breakfast was over and Henry was off playing Alex turned to face the other two women in the room "Okay I think we need to clear the air." She took note of how they were blushing and judging by the burn of her own skin, she was blushing as well.
Stacy spoke up before Alex could continue "I'm fine Alex really. It was my fault not yours."
"No sweetheart it wasn't your fault it was ours, we should've known better than to be doing what we were doing knowing we had company with us. I'm sure it was embarrassing for you and I know it was embarrassing for us; I just don't want things to become awkward between the three of us. We really like you and would hate for you to not want to be around us anymore."
"Oh no Alex I wouldn't quit coming around just because of this. I will admit it was embarrassing but I have a feeling it was more embarrassing for you than me."
Olivia finally managed to make eye contact with the girl "So we're okay?"
Stacy stood to leave the room, she pat Olivia on the shoulder "Yeah, we're cool." Both adults breathed a sigh of relief. Stacy looked back and forth at the two "Besides look at it this way, we just know each other better now. Especially since I know what you two look like topless." She smirked as she walked from the room, both adults were blushing furiously.
"It's gonna be such a long week." Olivia sighed as she dropped her head into her hands.
A/N: Thank you for showing interest in a sequel. I know this may seem a little fluffy but I just wanted to establish where they were in life, I do plan for drama down the road. I know I went a little further with their alone time than I normally do but I thought it would work, and it gave me a chance to throw in a little humor. Nothing worse than someone catching you & your significant other in the act. I hope you enjoy this story as much as you did Home. Thanks for reading.
