It had been about two weeks since Naya's hospital scare. She recovered well and was perfectly fine within a week. Of course, she was still tired and generally sore, she was pregnant after all, but she no longer had heartburn or chest pain from bronchitis. Thank God. Heather had been the most perfect, doting wife as always. Naya really didn't know how to express how lucky she was.
It was that time of year. The hustle and bustle between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone is in a rush to go nowhere, every store is always a crowded mess. Despite the annoying people this time of year there was another reason to be excited.
Heather's big surprise. The ones their moms have been badgering her with insistent questions about since Thanksgiving. The one she's been working on for a little over five months. For a while, Naya would joke that her wife has a mistress with all the mystery outings she went on. She was nervous, excited, and to be completely honest, she had no idea what the reaction would be. She was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone rang. She put her hot coffee cup down on the kitchen table and picked up her iPhone. The caller ID read, Lea.
Heather: "Lea, good morning."
Lea: "Hi Heather, good morning! I just wanted to confirm plans with everyone for tonight. Be at my house at 6 pm."
Heather: "Sounds good. What would you like us to bring?"
Lea: "Not a thing. Just your pretty selves. I got way too much food and drinks here anyway."
Heather: "You're sure?"
Lea: "Positive. See you tonight? Remember black tie is not optional!"
Heather: "How could I possibly forget."
Lea: "You better not! Anyway, I'll see you tonight! Bye!"
Once Heather got off the phone with Lea she went in her closet and got out the outfit she has chosen for this evening. It was Lea's annual Christmas party which was basically a big holiday bash with their friends where everyone dressed fancy, ate amazing food, and sang. It was always a great time!
Heather was going through her large walk-in closet when Naya shuffled out of bed rubbing her eyes trying to acclimate to the bright light coming through the windows. It was just after 8 am when Naya woke up. Heather was laying out her outfit on the vanity chair beside the floor-length mirror when Naya walked up to her and right into her arms. Heather giggled and without hesitation, pulled her wife close to her chest.
"Good morning, my love. Good morning, my little love" Heather greeted her wife and unborn daughter.
"Mhmm morning baby," Naya says before looking around and seeing the outfit Heather had laid out. "That will look insanely sexy on you," Naya said with that look that Heather knew so well. The look she'd been given almost every morning since her second trimester began. To say their sex life was active would be an understatement. Whatever hormone is running on overdrive making Naya constantly crave Heather is something you'll never hear her complain about.
"How are you so beautiful?" Heather asked while kissing the spot on Naya's neck that always drives her senses into overdrive. Naya tilts her neck to the side granting Heather more access while she places wet kisses on the caramel skin underneath.
"Shower. Now." Naya said with a hungry look. Heather simply took her hand and led her wife to the master bathroom and closed the door. Heather naturally took Naya into her arms and kissed her passionately trying to translate all her love into every move she made. She desperately needed Naya to know that every breath she breathed was for her and their baby girl. Heather looked deep into Naya's chocolate brown eyes which were turning deeper with desire. Heather placed a kiss on Naya's lips and moved down her neck, spending a little extra time on her pulse point before grabbing the hem of her wife's pajama shirt and lifting it gently over her head while Naya raised her arms in compliance.
Naya was completely exposed from the waist up. She shivered slightly at the shock of the cool air that hit her skin which instantly made her nipples erect. She tilted her head down as Heather kissed down her collarbone, and down the center of her chest before placing both hands on the sides of her belly and placing a long single kiss right on the center. She knelt down and grabbed the hem of Naya's sweatpants and shimmy's them down her legs along with her panties.
Naya is standing in front of Heather completely bare and vulnerable. Heather slowly removes her own clothes as well causing Naya to moan pull her wife into a deep kiss.
"Shower" Naya rasps causing Heather to place one more kiss on her lips before turning around and starting the water. Heather looked back at Naya who was standing behind her rubbing her hands over her bare belly looking like the most beautiful thing ever created. Heather was just in awe of her. Her body was gorgeous. It looked exactly the same except it looked like the had a large basketball under her belly. Her stomach was rather large but mainly because she was so tiny and petite. She was nearing 7 months and it was certainly not a little bump anymore.
The water was now hot and Heather had stepped in the shower holding out her hand for her wife to carefully step in. They both stood under the large rain head letting the warm water run down their bodies as little water beads danced on their skin. Heather crashed their lips together and Naya moaned in pleasure at the contact.
"Heather I need you..." Naya rasped in that ultra-sexy voice that Heather loved so deeply.
"Where do you need me, baby? Tell me where you need me."
"I..I...I need.." Naya shakes out trying to catch her breath as her wife continues to suck and kiss her pulse point and rub up and down her arms.
"What do you need?" Heather whispered close to her ear.
"Make love to me, Heather. I need to feel you close." Naya confessed shakily. Heather slowly but fiercely connects their lips. Heather knows when Naya needs her slow and passionate or hard and fast. This is definitely one of the slow and passionate moments. Naya will get especially vulnerable and her eyes cloud over with tears. Sex becomes more overwhelming for Naya when it's slow and passionate.
Heather turned Naya around and began kissing her intensely, letting her hands wander over her wet caramel skin, "Oh, god baby," then while one hand massaged Naya's tender breasts, and her other hand slid down painfully slow to her core, which was already wet for Heather. Naya lets out a small moan letting her know she wanted more, her hand continued to rub at the outside of her folds until she let her fingers enter. There was a ledge in the shower that Naya sat down on while Heather got on her knees to be eye level with her center. She let two fingers slide into Naya, they went with ease because she was so wet, Naya moaned out in ecstasy.
"Dear God, yes!" Naya winces out in pleasure
Heather knew what she needed to do next feeling her start to clench underneath her, she leaned forward and let her tongue begin to lick at Naya's clit. Both of Heather's hands resting on her wife's large pregnant belly. Another moan escaped Naya. "Does that feel good, beautiful?" She asked her wife.
"You're incredible," Naya said breathlessly, barely managing to get the words out in between her staggered breathing. Heather continued to work her magic down there, Naya squirming and moaning with every lick and thrust of her fingers.
Heather wanted to prolong the pleasure before Naya came. Heather continued to tease and work slow for several minutes, and within a moment she could feel Naya's body spasm in front of her, she knew she was there, and as Naya let out one last moan. Heather leaned up and held Naya as securely as humanly possible placing one hand protectively on her swollen belly as she came down from her high. After a couple of minutes, she could feel Naya still twitching and shuttering from the aftershocks. Heather reached up and massaged both breasts sliding her hands down to smooth over the hump of her belly before her hands rest there and her lips mold against her wife's.
"That was...I'm speechless." Naya smiled.
The girls step out of the shower about 30 minutes later. After Naya was adamant she return the favor, they finally got a short shower in before turning off the lukewarm water. Heather stepped out first quickly drying herself with the white towel she had set on the counter before slipping on her plush white robe. She grabs the towel she was just using and drapes it over her shoulder and she helps her pregnant wife safely out of the shower.
She quickly dries Naya's body off with a towel before grabbing her matching robe and slipping it on her wife and tying the belt loosely around her ever-growing midsection.
"You're exquisite Naya. Truly." Heather said as she took the back of her hand and ran it over her wife's cheek.
Naya had tears streaming down her face. It had been a perfect morning so far and Heather shows her every minute of every day how much she's loved and valued. There are times when it takes Naya off guard, like now.
"Oh my love, are you ok?" Heather questioned looking concerned and wiping the tears from Naya's face with the pad of her thumbs.
"Sometimes I don't know if I deserve you. You are so perfect, especially to me. I just..." Naya starts but gets choked up.
"My beautiful Naya. You don't deserve me... you deserve better than me. You and my daughter deserve everything is the world has to offer. I may not be able to provide all the material luxuries but one thing I won't hesitate to promise you is you will never have to doubt my love for you. You will never have to question my devotion, and you and our baby girl will never go a day without knowing you are loved unconditionally.
Naya was a sobbing mess. She wrapped her arms around Heather's neck and clung to her wife as close as the belly between them would allow. She kisses Heather as if her life depended on it. She never imagined she would feel so completely loved by someone in her life.
"You are my everything," Heather whispered as Naya's muffled sobs took over her small frame.
The day went by pretty quickly. By 3:30 pm the girls were already starting the process of getting ready for the Christmas party. Naya was excited as she kept her outfit a secret from her wife.
Heather was in the guest room getting ready while Naya used their bedroom. Lea's get-togethers we're always an elaborate affair. That girl never did anything simply. Each year this party seemed to get fancier.
Heather chose a pair of black fitted trousers which hugged her lean body perfectly. She paired it with an emerald green silk tank blouse with a drape floaty neckline. She chooses a pair of black pumps making her even taller than before. Her hair was curled then tied back in a sleek ponytail she put on a pair of silver loop earrings to finish off the look.
Heather was looking in the mirror and then glanced at the clock on her iPhone which read 5:12 pm. She couldn't wait to see Naya. She always looked utterly amazing but seeing her wife this year so heavily pregnant with their baby girl and showing that off was going to be something she'd never forget.
Meanwhile, in the main bedroom, Naya was finishing her makeup adding a little more than she usually would on a daily basis. She was just about to apply her mascara when her phone rang. She noticed it was Nickayla.
Naya: "Hey Nick, how are you?"
Nickayla: "A little tipsy. How about you?"
Naya: "Seriously? Where are you?"
Nickayla: "At the bar. I was supposed to go over to my friend's house at 6:15 but I may be a little too buzzed to drive. Could you give me a lift from the bar to my friend's house?"
Naya: "Seriously? You know I have a party tonight at 6 pm. Lea's of all people. You know how much punctuality means to that woman."
Nickayla: "Righty Roo. I'll just walk home. At night. All alone. By myself. Or take a cab at night. Most likely with an old guy who's a stranger with a drunk girl in his car. Sounds safe..."
Naya: "God Damn... I am grateful you called, I will say that, instead of attempting to drive. Look I'll just pick you up and meet Heather at the party a few minutes after. One of us needs to show up on time so I'll send her. Be ready when I get there."
Nickayla: "You're a lifesaver. Like the candy."
Naya: "And your drunk. Text me the address and I'll pick you up outside. I'll text you when I get there and come outside, alright? I'm not going into the bar at night without Heather."
Nickayla: "Will do. You're awesome possum."
Naya: "You're unbelievable. See you soon. Stop drinking and be ready to go."
Nickayla: "Ok byeeeeeee."
"Ugh great.." Naya thought. She walks out of the bedroom in her robe and walks down the hallway to the guest room.
Naya stood on the opposite side of the guest room door explaining the situation to her favorite blonde.
"Naya sweetheart I can just come with you to drop her off and then..." Heather started but was interrupted as her voice was heard on the other side of the closed door.
"No babe, Lea needs one of us to be on time for this damn thing. I'll be fine, baby. I'm not going inside the bar, she's going to come out when I pull up, and then I'll drive her to her friend's house before going to Lea's. I'll only be about 20 minutes behind you baby." Naya insisted leaning on her shoulder against the closed white door in the hallway.
"Ugh, fine. Just be careful, Naya." Heather said defeatedly with a large sigh as she too leaned against the closed door. She wanted to hug her wife right now but they agreed to have fun and not show each other the final look until they were finished.
"It'll be fine, baby. I'm going to finish getting dressed, you need to leave here shortly. Again, I'll be right behind you. I won't leave you looking all sexy and glammed up at a party by yourself." Naya says cheerfully making Heather smile on the other side.
"You better not!" Heather manages a small laugh and hears Naya stepping away from the door. When she hears the bedroom door close she lets out a sigh and continues getting dressed. She had 20 minutes before she had to leave.
Heather had just left the house but not before she approached the door one last time to make sure she shouldn't come with Naya. She managed to convince her wife once again that she was ok and to get going. Heather yelled out an I love you from the other side of the door as Naya was sliding up her dress repeating the words back to her before hearing the faint sound of the front door opening and closing.
Naya put the final curls in her hair and applied her lipstick taking one final look in the mirror. Even she had to admit she cleaned up pretty damn well for being seven months pregnant. She couldn't believe the size of her belly. The curve-hugging dress made her look skinny which she was thankful for but it also accentuated her belly making her laugh because it really did look like a huge basketball under her skin.
"Alright baby girl, let's go pick up this crazy auntie of yours then go see momma," Naya says to her belly gently caressing it over the top of her dress.
Heather pulled up in front of Lea's house parking along the quiet street of the private gated community. She turns off the car and steps out, smoothing out her outfit when she hears Kevin shout her name who had just parked his car a few spots in front of her.
"Hey, Kev! Looking good my friend!" Heather said while holding up her keys and clicking the lock button before turning back to her friend as they walked toward each other.
"Look at yourself miss thang! You look gorgeous! Did you forget someone?" Kevin asked glancing over Heather's shoulder at her black BMW expecting to see her other half by her side.
"Naya got a call from her tipsy sister who asked her for a ride to a friend's house. She insisted I come here and she would meet me." Heather says while pouting earning an instant laugh from Kevin.
"Your so whipped Heath. Oh, bless your heart." Kevin says making Heather smile.
"I so am..." Heather smiles widely earning a shake of the head from her friend. She was completely whipped and she knew it.
Heather and Kevin walked up the pathway together. They could already hear the festivities from the people inside. It was 5:54 pm. They were six minutes early. Lea should be happy about that. She was a stickler for punctuality. She was much more like Rachel than she would ever admit. You would think they based the character off her.
Just as Kevin stepped in front of Heather and was about to turn the knob of the front door, they heard extremely fast footsteps and the door swung open revealing the host of the evening. Lea had on a beautiful navy one-shoulder dress with some ruffle detail on the sleeve. The dress was knee length and looked beautiful on her. Her hair was pulled up in a tight bun and a couple of diamond white gold earrings dangled from her earlobes.
"You clean up nice Michelle," Kevin said before pulling her into a hug and joining the party.
"You really do look beautiful Lea." Heather insisted giving the shorter brunette a hug before straightening back up and looking over her friend's shoulders at all her friends sipping their drinks and chatting amongst each other.
"Hemo you look hot! I'm shocked Naya can keep her hands off you. Speaking of where is your wife?" Lea finally asked while glancing around behind Heather as she pulled her the rest of the way inside and shut the door seeing as there was nobody accompanying the tall blonde. "Oh no, is she sick? Is she not coming? What ha..." Lea began rambling before heather placed a hand on her shoulder encouraging the girl to take a breath.
"Lea she's fine. She'll be here shortly." Heather assured going on to explain to Lea and the rest of her friends the situation and that her better half would arrive soon.
Just as Heather was approaching her group of friends that were gathered around the kitchen island her phone chimed. She glanced at the name and saw it was from Naya. She opened it anxiously hoping nothing was wrong causing her friends to look up.
Incoming Naya: Hey baby. I just dropped Nickayla off at her friends so I'm on my way now. I should be there in 15 minutes. I'm just pulling out of the driveway now. See you soon sexy. People better not be hitting on you. I'll go all Lima Heights on their well-dressed asses. xx
Heather let out a laugh and a sigh of relief at the same time. She was already missing that beautiful woman beside her. She felt naked like she was missing everything without her. She knew she sounded pathetic but she couldn't help it.
"I can only assume based on that smile who the text was from..." Diana asked with a smirk. She was dressed in a beautiful plum-colored cocktail dress with black heels and a pair of silver stud earrings. Her blonde hair was down and straight falling just past her shoulder.
"It was. She's on her way." Heather reiterated to the group. She was slightly bewildered at the glances she was receiving from her friends.
"What?" Heather asked confused.
"You're so damn lost without her Hemo." Jenna giggles
Heather looked down bashfully and shrugged her shoulders. "I sorta am. Stop looking at me!" Heather whined while fidgeting with her hands anxiously and glancing at her phone revealing a background image of herself and Naya with their hands over her belly which was taken at the rooftop baby shower a few months ago.
The group of friends cheered while clinking their glasses. Heather had opted for sparkling cider as she really didn't want to be incapacitated in any way around her pregnant wife. Heather wasn't a big drinker anyway so it didn't matter.
"How about a game of spin the bottle?" Mark shouted startling a few of the friends out of the quiet conversations they were currently involved in.
"Are you twelve years old dude?" Cory said as the group shook their heads.
"Oh, come on, don't tell me you wouldn't want to do some lip-locking tonight!" Mark replied sipping his brown liquor.
"I have a girlfriend, Mark. Lea...remember her?" Cory rebuttals
"You guys are always fighting. Your sex life is probably as dry as the Sierra desert." Mark casually said before shrugging his shoulders.
Lea and Cory looked at each other awkwardly because it was true. They haven't been intimate for a long time and they were always bickering over the dumbest things. Nobody really knew how to respond to that so they just moved on. Well, tried to anyway...
"Hemo, Di, Amber?" Any of you wanna take a ride on the ol' Mark train?"
"Oh lord, I'd have to be pretty damn desperate there big guy..." Amber laughed off shaking her head.
"Been there done that," Diana replies
"And you loved it." Mark slyly winks back making Diana roll her eyes in annoyance.
"What about you Hemo? I'm pretty sure we've never made out." Mark says lifting his class and cheering to absolutely nobody.
"Yeah sure, Mark. Let's get on that right after I have a baby with my wife." Heather mutters sarcastically.
"Traditional are we? You guys are lame." Mark scoffed making everyone roll their eyes. Just then the front door opened and closed and Heather instantly perked up.
Everyone turned and looked past the kitchen island towards the door knowing the only person that wasn't here yet was Naya.
"Hey, guys?!" Naya yelled over the Christmas music from the other room.
"Kitchen Nay!" Lea responded
Everyone giggled and shook their heads at Heather who could wipe the grin off her face and was literally bouncing on her feet in excitement. Her girl was finally here!
They heard heels round the corner and Naya stepped into view.
"Hey, party animals! Lea, hope you don't mind I just threw my purse in the spare bedroom so it was out of the way." She finally looked up to see the faces of the group and met her wife's eyes who practically could wipe the floor with her jaw it was hanging so low. She could see Heather open and close her mouth in an attempt to form a few coherent words but nothing was coming out. Finally, the silence was broken.
"Holy shit Nay! Hot damn..." Mark said through a rasp coughing slightly to clear his throat which snapped Heather out of her comatose state quickly and she turned to him sending a deathly glare his way while Jenna elbowed him in the ribs.
"Gahh, seriously? You guys suck at taking jokes!" Mark said pained.
Heather focused her attention back on the perfection in front of her. Naya was wearing a floor-length champagne gold sequin dress that fit her like a glove. It molded over the curve of her belly and flowed down perfectly. There was a short slit in the dress from the calf down which gave the dress the perfect movement. Her black hair was cascading down her back in luscious loose waves. Her hair reached her mid-back and the pregnancy made it extra lush and thick. She had solid gold small hoop earrings on that complimented her dress perfectly. Her nude heels that she sneakily slipped some memory foam inserts in to make them more comfortable were the perfect addition to her look. Her evening makeup made her look like a goddess.
"You alright there Hemo?" Amber giggled patting her back as if she was choking or something.
"Yeah, what does a girl have to do to get a hug from her sexy wife around here..." Naya teased which again, snapped Heather out of her fog at the tone of her wife's raspy sultry voice.
Heather slowly sets her glass down and circles the island before she's standing in front of her wife. She's standing there in complete awe. She lifts her left hand to twirl the bottom strands of her wife's silky black hair before letting it fall against her chest and takes both sides of her face in her hands.
"I have never seen anything so perfect in my life. Naya, you are a work of art..." Heather says stepping back to continue gawking, because yeah, Naya was hers!
"Hey Rivera..." Mark slyly winks causing Heather to shoot a glare in his direction. She finally gave up and rolled her eyes because that man would never change. He was just a horn-ball and was harmless but at the same time relentless.
Heather takes Naya in her arms and hugs her as if her life depends on it.
"My gorgeous Naya. You are breathtaking." Heather says as she loosens her grip just enough to look in her wife's eyes place a feather-light kiss on the tip of her nose.
"Baby what about you? You look amazing! Really sexy." Naya replied with a playful wink making Heather smile and roll her eyes playfully. She then scans her wife's body and lands on a particularly noticeable spot and a wide grin spreads across her face. She's pretty sure all her teeth are showing but she doesn't care.
"Hi, my little love. You look beautiful tonight all dressed up too." Heather says placing her palms on the sides of her wife's exaggerated round stomach over her sequin dress. "Mami looks like an angel right now. I love you both so much, sweet girl." Heather finishes her smile getting impossibly bigger when she feels a kick against her right palm. "I love you too, baby girl." Heather breaths out earning a smile from the group and a kiss from her wife.
"Come on my girls. What can I get you to drink?" Heather asks her wife as she brings her wife towards the others around the island.
"You clean up nice Rivera," Harry says sweetly placing a kiss on her cheek earning a smile from Naya.
"Thanks, Harry. You don't look too bad yourself." She replies complimenting his slick black suit. He smiles back at her.
"Really Naya, you look beautiful," Lea says earning quick nods from the rest of the girls in particular.
"Thanks, Lea. You all look gorgeous as well! I mean not as good as my baby momma but still..." Naya playfully replies.
"She's been waiting on pins and needles for you the entire time," Amber said causing the tall blonde to look down at her feet with a shy smile. Alright, she missed her wife...sue her!
"You are really cute baby," Naya responds placing her hand on Heather's cheek and kissing her lips.
"Who's up next?!" Lea screeched excitedly. Now that Naya was here the gang was all together and they could get the party started!
"Naya? Wanna bring this house down girl?" Amber says from across the couch in front of where Lea had set up a makeshift karaoke stage.
"Are we competing for my stix again?" Naya laughs out as Heather stands to help pull her wife off the couch and sit back down.
"Ready girl?" Naya nods and the two share a quick whisper before nodding at each other and standing in front of the two microphone stands set up on the stage.
The two sang the most gorgeous soulful rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. In the last half of the song as Naya was belting out the chorus in her usual sexy raspy voice, she rested her hand on her belly making Heather smile. She kept the other around the microphone as the girls would trade glances at each other as they switched off.
Once they finished out the song together the group gave thunderous applause and Heather was whistling. Amber bent over and bowed graciously and looked over at Naya.
"Yea, I'm not attempting to do that..." she joked earning laughs from the group. Heather walked up to her wife and gave her a hug.
"That was gorgeous, love. Your voice is magical." Heather assured while taking Naya's hand in her own and guiding her towards the couch. Heather led her to her previous spot on the cushion but Naya opted to perch in her wife's lap instead. Heather, of course, had absolutely no disputes about this and put an arm around her back and the other over her large belly.
"Have I told you how stunning you look tonight?" Heather asked looking up at her wife lovingly.
"I think your mouth hanging open when I walked in told me that I didn't completely screw it up." Naya jokingly giggles.
"You could say that. Seriously Naya, I can't express how much you take my breath away." Heather says
"You as well baby. I'd take you on that kitchen counter right now if you know, we weren't surrounded by these losers, and I wasn't 7 months pregnant but you know..." Naya rasps out.
"Oh god." Heather moans trying to rid her mind of the sexy images swirling around.
The friends took a break from singing to grab a drink from the kitchen and gather around the seating in the living room. Lea had brought up an extra couch from downstairs so everyone had a comfortable place to sit. Told you, she was so extra.
"How's everyone's holiday excursions going this year? I haven't even started my shopping yet." Diana says gritting her teeth.
"Seriously? Christmas is in five days! I couldn't wait that long. I have to do my shopping early and plan out everything." Jenna responds
"That doesn't surprise anyone..." Kevin adds with a smile
"Shut it Kev. It's called being Type A. I need a plan." Jenna defends.
"I haven't started either." Cory admitted somewhat nervously knowing what was coming.
"You what?! Well great, does this mean I'm getting another gift card to a steakhouse?" Lea snaps back.
The group looks around somewhat uncomfortably. You think they'd be used to this all time now with these two. However, it was still uncomfortable having a couple arguing around you. Heather tightens her hold on her wife who's sitting sideways across her lap sipping her sparkling cider. Naya responds by taking her hand and squeezing the wrists that's laying just above her bump.
"What about you too? I'm sure Heather still has to get her gifts." Cory asked almost in a pleading tone that even if she did have her gifts that she would lie for him. Heather looked up and gave him an apologetic expressions.
"Sorry man, I've been working on Naya's gift for six months." Heather says nervously sending an apologetic glance his way.
"Of course you have..." Cory responds defeatedly.
"What the hell Morris? What the fuck did you get that took 6 months. Doesn't shipping usually take 5-7 days?" Mark questioned stupidly.
Heather just shook her head because, god, Mark was the biggest idiot sometimes. Ok, most of the time.
"I didn't go to Target, Mark. I actually thought about this and made it happen. My girl doesn't deserve some last-minute diamond earrings from the sale rack." Heather shrugs like it was common sense but apparently it's not for this group. Nobody misses the glare that Lea shoots at Cory
Naya looks back at Heather with a small amused smile. She shakes her head and places a kiss on the lips because, god, she had the best wife in the world.
"What on earth did you do baby?" Naya whispered through a smirk but couldn't hide her excitement.
Heather wiggles her eyebrows and smiles at her wife while running her hands up and down her wife's belly. "That's for you to find out in 5 days my love."
Naya smiles that adorable cheek-bunching smile that shows off her dimples and leans her head on her wife's shoulder.
"Give is a hint Hemo!" Vanessa pleads
"You impatient little animals will have to wait until after Christmas."
"I seriously cannot believe we have to go back to work two days after Christmas. That blows." Mark huffs.
"It does kinda suck, but not completely, I mean it's you guys and I love being with you all." Chord chimed in.
"Aww Overstreet getting all sentimental on us." Chris laughs
"Hell no. I basically just said I don't completely hate you guys. That's all." Chord defends.
"Whatever pal, just tell yourself that." Harry responded.
Everyone giggles at their crazy group of friends.
Hemo, what do you say? Do you want to duet?" Diana asks the other blonde.
"I'd love to Di. First, however, can I sing a solo?" Heather asks the group who nods immediately. It wasn't too often they heard just her sing. Heather takes Naya's body and gently scoots her off her lap and sets her in the corner of the couch placing a kiss on her cheek before getting up and grabbing the microphone.
"I'm going to sing a song for the two loves of my life. My girls." Heather says looking at her wife and smiling earning a shy smile in return as she watches her wife look down at her stomach and gently cradle it.
"This song is called My Grown Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson," Heather says and everyone eagerly waits.
Heather sings the song so gently, purely, and beautifully. She had such a delicate and angelic voice. When she got to the last note of the song a few of the girls were trying to fan the tears out of their eyes and Amber quickly handed Naya a tissue from the coffee table before she ruined her makeup.
"Oh my god, Heather. That was gorgeous!" Amber praised.
"Well, that must mean something coming from you." Heather smiled at her friend. "Thanks, A."
Heather took her seat beside her wife and pulled her close.
"That was stunning, Heather. She's kicking like crazy. She loves her momma's voice." Naya chokes out trying to pull herself together. Emotions were a little harder for her to control now. Once the water works started it was like a faucet that couldn't be shut off.
"Thank you, my love. It was all for you two." Heather says while kissing her wife and encouraging Naya to lay her head on her shoulder.
"Oh, I've got a good question, if anyone had a kid right now what would you name it?" Vanessa blurted out.
"We're not idiots, Nessa." Naya laughs out. "We know that's a clever ploy to get us to tell you our baby girl's name," Naya smirked.
"Wait you know her name?" Diana snaps her head over to the couple at the end of the couch.
"We do," Heather says. Her smile couldn't be bigger if she tried.
"Well..." Jenna said sitting on the edge of her seat holding Vanessa's hand. Heather had to let a chuckle out. Her friends her adorable but nuts.
"Oh no, you'll find out when she's born," Heather said with a smirk
"WHAT?!" The group shouts in unison completely startling Naya who jumps a little.
"Holy shit you guys!" Naya says with a hand placed over her heart. "You scared the crap out of me and my child," Naya says trying to catch her breath as Heather kisses her cheek and places a hand on her bump where the baby was now going wild.
"Wow, guys you really did scare her. Relax! You'll find out! You're lucky we didn't keep the gender a secret too. Consider yourselves lucky!" Heather said while gently pressing against different areas of her belly smiling as their daughter followed her movements.
"Is she moving around?" Diana asked
"She's having her own party in there." Heather nods with a smile.
Immediately Diana, Vanessa, Lea, and Jenna scramble over and Heather very reluctantly removes her hands from her wife's belly but is ready to go all momma bear at any moment if these leeches don't chill out. Naya smiles at her wife's protectiveness and kisses the stress lines between her eyes until she finally relaxes a bit. Naya leans back against Heather's chest and lays her head on her wife's shoulder while she feels various hands all over her belly. This must be how zoo animals feel... Naya thinks to herself.
The guys look over completely amused at the girl's complete inability to keep themselves together around Naya's bump. Not that the guys weren't thrilled to be uncles but they also had to balance out the crazy that was the girls.
Heather, Naya, and Harry ended up in the corner of the kitchen as they were grabbing some appetizers when Amber came up and joined them.
"Having fun you guys?" Amber asked
"We are. It's always a blast. Friends, food, singing, relentless baby questions..." Heather giggles.
"Those bitches are crazy." Amber laughs out.
Naya sets her cup down when she feels her daughter rolling around and grabs Amber's hand and brings it to the upper left side of her belly. Amber gasps at the feeling. She never asks to touch her stomach or fights like hungry puppies to be near it like the others do. Heather smiles at Amber's reaction to her niece's movements.
"Wow. Look at her go. A mini Hemo!" Amber said smiling.
"Oh, she's my baby girl, that's for sure!" Heather said jumping slightly in her place causing the other three to laugh.
"Here, Harry, your niece wants to say hi," Naya says grabbing his hand too and placing it in a different spot just below Amber's.
"Woah! That feels so weird! I've never felt a baby move before." Completely in awe
"Really?" Well, she'll never let you down. She's a mover." Heather says proudly.
Harry removes his hand "Thank you girls for letting me feel. That was so cool. I guess I can see why the girls are so excited all the time." Harry chuckles crossing his arms and leaning against the counter.
"They're nuts but we love them. They just have to reign in the crazy when she's actually here so they don't scare my baby. I'll go all Lima Heights on the..." Naya says but is interrupted by her wife.
"Don't worry my love. Nobody will scare our baby girl. I'd kill them before you would." Heather says with a straight face making the other three laugh out loud. Naya holds Heather's right arm with both of hers and cuddles into her side.
"Yea, I'm not sure I'd want to cross paths with Hemo when she's in angry momma bear mode...that's pretty much asking for a slow painful death," Harry says through a laugh.
"Who's dying?" Diana and Lea say in unison coming into the kitchen to refill their plate.
"Anyone who messes with Hemo's baby," Amber says looking at the girls
"Oh, ya those other girls are ridiculous..." Lea says shaking her head. Heather, Naya, Harry, and Amber turn their head to look at her.
"Umm Lea, the sorority of crazy bitches include you my dear.." Amber says flatly causing Heather and Naya to let out a small giggle.
"That's rude," Lea responds blankly.
It was nearing 11:45 pm when the group was starting to settle down. They played games all night, sang, ate, and just had the best time together. They were all sitting around the couch talking and making casual conversation which mainly consisted of their various holiday plans. Of course, Naya fell asleep in Heather's lap just a little while ago. Heather was combing her fingers through her hair and massaging her scalp the way that Naya loved.
"Jenna, do you mind reaching down and slipping her shoes off. Her poor feet need a little break." Heather asked kindly towards her friend so nodded right away and took off the nude heels setting them on the ground under the coffee table so nobody would trip over them
"Boy, she's out huh," Kevin says while looking over at his friend whos fast asleep in her wife's embrace.
"She is. Isn't she so beautiful guys?" Heather says before looking at her friends who are staring at her with a smirk while some are shaking their heads.
"I'm sorry," Heather says looking down somewhat bashfully. "I just love her so much, sometimes I just say things that I'm thinking," Heather says quietly and shrugs her shoulders.
"Heather, what are you sorry for? For loving your wife as wholeheartedly as you do? Naya is so damn lucky. You two are an amazing example for all of us regular people who hope to have what you two have one day." Diana says honestly.
"I'm the one that's lucky," Heather says simply
"We better get going Lea, my girl needs her soft bed or her back will really start hurting her and that makes me sad," Heather says with a pout causing the girls to giggle.
"You might want to wake her up and let her wake up a bit before she gets behind the wheel." Amber insisted
"Oh no, she'll come home with me. Lea, would you mind if I just left Naya's car here and I'll come back for it tomorrow morning? Like Amber said, my poor wife is exhausted and I would be too uncomfortable with her driving in LA traffic at night when she's this tired." Heather rambles seemingly trying to prove her point. She always got a little defensive when it came to Naya.
"Heather relax, of course, you can. Just park it in my garage. I don't want to leave her Mercedes out on the street. Pick it up whenever. No rush." Lea responds assuringly.
"Thank you, Lea. Amber can you sit with her for a minute while I put her car in the garage before we leave. Just let her lean against you or she'll tip over." Heather giggles while standing up holding her wife in her arms while amber sits down and Heather sets her wife down on the cushion next to Amber and Naya immediately leans her head on her shoulder.
"Hemo, you can get her in my lap if you want." Mark blurts out randomly making Heather snap her head around.
"Touch her and you're dead." Heather snarls
"But I'm just trying..." Mark adds before Heather sends him a death glare immediately stopping him in his tracks. He instantly puts his hands up in surrender and she turns back around.
"I'm going to be back in a couple of minutes. Keep your hands off Mark!" Heather says before kissing the top of Naya's head and grabbing her keys.
"Seriously Mark, stop. She will actually kill you." Diana says when Mark sits on the other side of Naya and puts his hand on her thigh. Everyone raises an eyebrow at his actions and Amber attempts to brush his hand off her friend. Clearly, the drinks he's been consuming are adding to his already inappropriate antics.
"Mark..." Amber starts and then looks at Mark shaking her head telling him that's not okay.
"Ahh, you guys are so uptight. We used to date... relax!" Mark stated while shrugging off his friends. He suddenly takes a piece of hair and puts it behind Naya's ear and then looks at her body making everyone in the room very uncomfortable before putting a hand on her stomach. Everyone was staring in disbelief.
"Mark no. Don't touch her. Come on now. Go get some water and sober up!" Amber says firmly while throwing his hand off Naya's belly which he instantly just right back in place.
"Mark what the fuck!" Jenna shouts causing Naya to stir but she falls right back asleep.
"You guys are all over her all the time. I should be able to feel the baby too!" Mark slurs
"That's not the same thing and you damn well know that! It's inappropriate so don't touch her." Lea says
Before anyone comprehended what the hell was going on Heather entered the room and grabs Mark by the collar of his shirt and pulled him off the couch away from her wife. She looked into his eyes with so much destain that even through his drunken haze he was a little startled.
"Try touching my wife and baby like that again Mark. I dare you." Heather growls warningly. Everyone stands still getting a shocking glimpse of what mama bear Heather looked like and it wasn't something they ever wanted to be on the receiving end of.
"Right now I'm going to let you go in the kitchen and sober the hell up. If you choose not to I will have no problem taking that smug look off your face that you had on while you had your hands on my wife. You have no claim on her. You don't wait until she's asleep to touch her or my daughter. Do NOT test me Mark and don't ever do that again. Do we understand each other?" Heather finishes looking into his cloudy eyes waiting for an answer.
"Ok..." Mark said still speechless and a little scared if he's going to be completely honest.
Heather gives him one last glare before turning towards the couch and bending over to pick up her wife. "Come on, my loves." Heather settles a firm grasp on her wife in her arms placing a kiss on her head as it leans against her chest.
"Thank you guys for taking his hands off her," Heather said to the group.
"We tried but he still did. I think we were all in shock... we still are." Lea says trying to wrap her mind around what just happened."
"Well, I appreciate you guys trying. I'm going to take her home. I don't want him around her right now. Diana can you grab Naya's shoes under the table and just toss them in my bag for me." Heather says
"Sure" Diana nods and puts the nude shoes in her friend's bag along with both of the girls' phones.
"Alright, we're out of here. Thank you, guys. It was so fun, minus the very end!" Heather says smiling at her friends who huddle around the door as several of them are getting ready to leave at the same time.
"I'll grab the door for you, Hemo. I'm headed out as well." Vanessa says while putting on her coat.
"Thanks, Nessa." Heather smiles saying her final goodbyes to her friends before following Vanessa out. What a party Heather thought to herself. She had an amazing time until Mark had to pull a stunt like that. All she's grateful for is that she came in when she did. Heather looks down at her wife in her arms, the bump pressed up against Heather's chest. She knew she would do anything to protect her family.
