December 27th, 2014
It was finally Tuesday. The ominous day of secrecy that apparently has been six months in the making. Naya has been a combination of nerves, excitement, anticipation, and giddiness basically since she first found out about this mystery project back when she thought her wife had a mistress due to all these secret outings. Naya was naturally a very curious person. She liked to know what was going on around her. This was totally throwing her off.
It was 7:30 am and it was their first time back at work since their holiday break. They had to be at work by 9:30 am. Everyone had the same call time because Ryan was starting off with a meeting before they all started their regular day.
Naya was just stirring in her sleep. She was surprised at how well she slept last night. She never thought she'd fall asleep with the anticipation for today. She had been given absolutely no clues except that one time when Andrew said she would apparently love it. So she was assuming her parents knew about this. Naya rolled her in bed expecting to be met with her wife but her arm flattened across the bed and she noticed the sheets were cold meaning Heather hadn't been in bed for a while.
Naya slowly sits up, of course, her daughter is still sleeping. Her lazy girl. She eases her body up until she's standing next to the bed and slides on her slippers making her way out the door that was left open a crack to allow enough light in the room so Naya wouldn't trip.
Naya started walking down the hallway and down the steps until she reached the kitchen. She watched Heather for a good minute as she typed away on her phone sending and receiving text after text. Naya raises an eyebrow at her wife before clearing her throat to make her presence known. Heather instantly looks up and over smiling at her wife.
"Good morning my beautiful girls!" Heather says sitting up just enough to slide her chair farther away from the table and sitting down once again. She motions for Naya to come over to her and pats her thighs. Naya can't help but smile and walks over easing herself down in her wife's lap.
"My beauties," Heather says before placing a long kiss on Naya's lips and the tip of her nose before kissing the top of her belly and placing both hands on the sides of her belly as they wrap around her wife. She flattens her hands over her wife's stomachs and moves her thumbs back and forth soothingly.
"How are you today beautiful?" Heather asks holding her wife impossibly closer while looking into her chocolate brown eyes.
"Nervous," Naya responds honestly looking down towards her belly. Heather immediately shoots her a confused and concerned look.
"Nervous? Honey, what for?" Heather asks while taking a piece of hair that's dangling in front of Naya's eye and tucks it gently behind her ear. "Talk to me beautiful." Heather urges.
"Just about today. I don't know what's going on..." Naya explains while still looking down at her lap with her fidgeting hands.
"Oh Naya, don't stress yourself out about it. It's nothing bad, alright. You don't worry about anything. I've got you today." Heather insists while playing with the length of her wife's long hair.
"Sorry. My mind is just running away from me." Naya says looking up at her wife's crystal blue eyes looking rather embarrassed.
"You just let me worry about today, and you don't have to do anything my beauty, alright?" Heather reassured causing an instant smile on Naya's face.
How do you do that?" Naya questioned.
"What?" Heather replied confusingly.
"Always say the right thing. Always knowing how to comfort me and the baby. You always manage to calm both of us down. You know how we both can be, but you always fix it." Naya says looking at her wife who leans in and captures her lips in a hungry kiss.
"I take it I'm not convincing you to give me any hints?" Naya asks with a smirk but also hopeful.
"Oh no. You can't get me that easy!" Heather teased.
By 9 am Naya was growing increasingly anxious and slightly paranoid. Heather wasn't giving her any hints at all which was driving her mind crazy. The main thing she was confused about is why her Christmas present was at work of all places. She was beyond puzzled. Just as her thoughts are running away with her once again she hears her wife walking into the kitchen in her workout clothes. She knew she'd be doing choreography after the group meeting with Ryan.
"Are you breaking up with me?" Naya blurts out even shocking herself. Heather looks up and looks like a mixture of surprised and baffled.
"What on earth are you talking about sweetheart?" Heather questions approaching her wife.
"I don't know! That's just the thing, I don't know anything and it's driving me crazy. I can't help worry!" Naya says frenzied and frantic.
Heather pulls Naya into a hug. "Woah baby, come here." Heather embraces her wife while giving her kisses all over her head and face.
"Hey, beautiful, look at me." Heather gently eases her chin up until she's looking at the deep brown eyes not glossed over with tears. "Hey, hey. Don't cry, sweetheart. You are perfectly fine. I've got you. You'll find out very soon ok?" Heather sweetly says. Naya reluctantly nods.
"Beautiful, did you honestly think my Christmas present for you was breaking up with you?" Heather giggles out wiping her wife's tears. Naya chokes out a chuckle in response realizing how ridiculous she sounded. She buries her face in Heather's neck just needing to feel her as close as possible.
"I've got you, sweetheart," Heather says while holding her wife close. Naya's belly pressed into Heather's stomach. "You never have to worry about me leaving you. Never. I'm yours. Always." Heather says looking into her wife's eyes making sure it was clear to her. Naya gives her wife a small smile in return and nods. Heather pulls her back for a hug.
"We should get going, love. We don't want to be late for a meeting with Ryan." Heather says
"Alright." Naya signs deeply. "Let's go." Naya was still slightly nervous and reluctant.
The girls arrive on the Paramount lot at 9:20 am. They see their friend's cars all parked in the lot in one specific area. They all pretty much had their usual parking spaces on the lot since season one. Just as they were getting out of the Mercedes, Chris pulls up and parks two spaces to the left of them. A minute later he hopes out of his car and walks over to the girls giving them both a hug.
"Good morning ladies! How are you both today?" Chris greets happily holding his large Starbucks latte in his hand and a folded-up script in the other.
"We're doing well. Come on, walk in with us?" Heather asks motioning for Chris to walk with them. He happily complies.
Naya and Chris are talking about how much she misses her strong coffee in the mornings, they usually went to Starbucks together every morning, occasionally a couple of others would join them but most of the time it was just the two of them. Chris and Naya were always very close.
As they were making their way to the studio where Ryan's office was, Heather kept sneakily looking over her shoulder down at the far end of the lot where she could vaguely spot her surprise. She was growing increasingly nervous but managed to turn around right as Naya and Chris were finishing their coffee talk and about to look up at her. She's grateful she wasn't caught because Naya would have instantly become suspicious and nervous.
Heather quickly walks ahead to pull open the door for Chris and her wife. Hey both send her appreciative smiles and Heather secures her hand around Naya's and they lace their fingers together and walk hand in hand down the hallway. Voices are growing a little louder and clearer as they got closer to Ryan's office.
They opened the door and were met with smiles as the rest of the group looked over at the three last people to arrive. They all greeted one another and all squeezed into the office. It was a fairly decent-sized office, of course, it was Ryan Murphy, but with the entire cast packed in the room, it felt smaller than it was.
Immediately Kevin got up off the sofa to allow Naya to take his seat but Naya just shook her head looking slightly disturbed. Kevin was confused until he looked beside him and remembered Mark was sitting there. He sat back down knowing Naya wouldn't want to sit there, and also knowing there's no chance in hell that Heather would let that happen. Heather sent a glare towards Mark who was ignoring everyone around him. He didn't look remorseful, or angry. He just looked like he was waiting for the meeting to be over so he could get the hell out of there. Everyone sent a mixture of both confused and sympathetic looks between the girls and Mark but all Heather could do is comfort her wife.
Heather leaned back against the wall near the closed door. She pulled her wife against her so her back was against her chest allowing Naya to lean some of her weight on her. Heather circled her arms around the bottom of Naya's belly lifting it up gently to relieve the weight from her back. Naya instantly signed in relief because it felt like the added weight of her stomach was completely gone. After carrying that weight around for months, to get a moment of relief for even a few minutes felt amazing. She leaned her head back against her wife's shoulder as Ryan was talking about upcoming episodes, guest stars, appearances, and other promotional things they needed to do as a cast to promote the second half of the season. They continued to listen on, Heather still cradling the weight of her wife's stomach. Heather felt a whole new appreciation for her wife because just holding this belly up like she was doing was hard, she could tell how much pressure it is on her back. Naya was simply amazing.
"Alright, does anybody have any questions?" Ryan asked the group while looking at the piece of paper in front of him making sure he covered all the important topics he needed to.
"So the big sit-down interview with the entire cast is January 25 you said?" Kevin asked waiting for Ryan's nod and confirmation before putting it in the calendar of his phone as a personal reminder.
"Correct. It's the big Paleyfest Interview which the entire cast is required to attend." Ryan confirmed.
"So, that will be the first interview since announcing the pregnancy..." Heather asked cautiously making Naya look up at her with the same concern.
"Yes. It should be a very relaxed crown unlike Comic-con or anything of that nature. This is a very reputable and respectful interview just like the ones we have one there in the past." Ryan confirmed.
"Alright and security there will be..." Heather started but Ryan interrupted.
"Heather and Naya I assure you if you feel more comfortable we will hire an extra security guard for you specifically. It will be alright." Ryan insists.
"Ok..." Heather says hesitantly. "I just worry slightly because it's the first one and every single news outlet, magazine, and social media publication is scrambling for any information or photo they can get of my wife, and I'll be damned if I let strangers stalk her or chase her around," Heather said firmly but respectfully. Heather looks down at Naya and smiles as she continues to hold her belly up. Since she can't sit down because of fucking Mark, she wants to make sure her wife isn't paying the price.
The cast begins exiting the office and heading back outside. Everyone notices Heather is slightly more nervous and jumpy than usual and seems to be looking around her at something off in the distance. Nobody really knows what to make of it but they can already tell it's making Naya uneasy. She's always the more anxious one of the two, so when Heather is acting nervous she knows there's a reason to be.
Heather has kept this a complete secret from everyone. The only people who know about this are their parents and Ryan. She obviously needed Ryan's approval and different security measures had to be taken before this was allowed but when she finally got the go-ahead about four months ago she began meeting and planning the surprise. She was extremely fidgety since the group left Ryan's office and she knew her friends and especially her wife could tell something was up. She was so excited yet so nervous to see her wife's reaction. They exit the door to the building and the barely-there wind greets them.
"Come on guys we might as well head towards the trailers. We all have to film a choir room scene with Will this morning, right?" Heather asks the group trying to appear nonchalant.
"Right. I think the call sheet said 11:15 for all of us." Diana answered with a nod.
Trailor Setup:
Heather and Naya
Diana and Lea
Jenna, Amber
Kevin and Chris
Mark and Chord
Harry and Cory
Recurring cast members didn't get a trailer since they weren't on set regularly.
The cast all had trailers that actors and actresses were provided with on a set. They were used for relaxing between scenes throughout the workday, eating lunch, changing, for personal belongings, and such. There were two people that shared every trailer. Recurring cast members like Vanessa, and Darren didn't get a trailer but would share with one of the other girls or guys when they were on set.
For the most part, the trailers were extremely basic and old. They have probably used by god knows how many other people and just moved from different sets as needed. They were all basically identical and had a pretty firm and uncomfortable couch right when you walked in, a small table with a bench seating on either side. You could squeeze four people at the table if you really needed to. There was a tiny bathroom that had a toilet and sink. the counter was less than two feet wide so it was extremely tiny and you couldn't get more than one person at a time in the bathroom. That was pretty much it. There was no kitchen or anything like that. Just a countertop where the occupants could purchase their own microwave, coffee maker, or anything else they wanted so they would heat up lunches or make coffee on their breaks or in the morning.
All six white trailers were parked in a perfect line right beside each other just outside the main doors of the building. There were a couple of picnic tables pushed together where the cast usually gathered in the mornings to have a cup of coffee with whoever was around at the time.
"God the next two months are going to be exhausting." Diana groans as they start walking from Ryan's office across the lot and down a little way to where the trailers were.
"At least we will be together, but I know what you mean, media promotion is always a whirlwind," Chris responded.
Heather was growing increasingly nervous and held onto Naya's hand followed a few of her friends as some were walking a few steps ahead of her and a few were a few steps behind her. Mark left right after the meeting. Nobody knows where he went or what was up with his behavior lately. They all just shrugged it off.
Naya looked at her wife and was trying to take the day as it came but she was getting increasingly restless. Heather told her Tuesday is when this surprise was supposed to happen right? It was Tuesday, which is today? Naya said to herself. she was starting to become overly paranoid about everything she didn't know that was supposedly going on around her.
"You think you'll hold up the next couple of months Naya? There is a lot coming up" Jenna asked turning back to look at Naya who was behind her. They finally rounded the corner and their trailers were down by the main studio entrance so they kept walking.
"Gosh, I hope so. I'm going to be soooo pregnant by then guys. Ugh. The Emmy's should be very interesting in heels." Naya pauses to groan and Heather moves to rub her back soothingly. "The fan and paparazzi craziness coming up has me pretty concerned. I just want to keep her safe you know..." Naya replied but Heather instantly chimed in.
"Sweetheart, I will never let anything happen to either of you. You know that right?" Heather asked looking at her wife as they walked earning small smiles from the friends around them.
"Of course I know you'll protect us. You always do. I just hate being chased and feel like I'm being stalked by strangers who have no good intentions except wanting to get the perfect photo or me or our baby, some people will do anything to get the shot no matter who they hurt..." Naya asks shakily.
"Pause guys," Heather says causing the group to stop walking. "Naya baby, nobody will hurt you. Nobody will hurt our baby. I'll make damn sure of that. You both are my priority. Don't get too stressed out because that affects our baby girl, okay. Try to relax, if you need me ill go with you. We have so many friends that I know you can call too. Alright, my love?" Heather finishes. Naya glances at Heather before looking at all her friends who are giving subtle nods and smiles in her direction. Naya reaches up and cups Heather's face placing a kiss on her lips.
"Thank you, baby, you always know what to say. I think I'm also nervous today because of this damn secret you have that I have no idea what's going on." Naya giggles slightly trying to hide the fact that she's paranoid as hell.
"Wait...secret?" Amber asked confused.
"Yes! Apparently, it's my Christmas gift or something that she's been planning for 6 months. The one she told you about at the Christmas party. Apparently, I get the surprise today and I have no idea what it is or what the hell is going on." Naya breaths out both frustrated and overwhelmed.
Everyone laughs because they all know that Naya is terrible with surprises and is as nosy as they come.
"Nay, it's Hemo, you know it's going to be something good," Chris added and pats her back.
The group was approaching the trailers when Amber spotted something she had never seen in the four years she's been on this lot.
"What the hell is that?" Amber gasps with a mixture of confusion and shock.
Naya immediately looks up to see what Amber is looking towards. Her eyes immediately spot it and she just looks at it completely confused.
"We must have a guest star or something? Who is it this week? I didn't think Ryan said we had anyone coming until next week but maybe I heard wrong." Lea asked just as confused.
"We don't. Our next guest star isn't coming until next Thursday. There's nobody on the schedule besides the main cast this week..." Diana responds looking confused as well. They all walk a little closer and see how massive it actually is. Probably 3 times the size of the other ones next to it.
"Jesus. I could live in this bad boy!" Harry said
"No kidding. Shit." Kevin replied.
Everyone was staring in awe but still beyond confused. They were just walking around it.
"I'm so confused right now..." Jenna said looking back towards Amber and Lea who nodded in response.
Diana was looking around and noticed the door and happened to look up. There was a metal plaque on the door that read... "HOLY SHIT!"
"What?!" Everyone shouted in unison when Diana shouted scrambling to where she was pointing. Even Heather tried to come off just as curious. Naya approached the door where Diana and the others were standing and read what was on the plaque.
Heather & Naya
Naya Froze. She was so confused. She didn't know what to think. She had no idea to express what was happening. Was this real? Was she confused about what it actually was and who it was for? Was it some kind of mistake?
Naya was staring at a large, and I mean large, luxury RV trailer that was parked right next to the other five white trailers exactly where their old trailer occupied for three years. This thing was insane! It had several large pop-outs and looked like something you'd find in a luxury travel magazine. She had no idea what it was doing parked on the lot. Wait, hold up, where is our trailer with all our stuff? Naya suddenly thought finally realizing for the first time since they noticed the RV that their old trailer was gone.
"Merry Christmas my loves," Heather said making everyone turn to her with wide eyes and jaws dropped. Everyone was trying to wrap their mind around what was happening. They all felt like they were in the Twilight Zone.
"What... no...no...I can't... what is..." Naya starts shaking with sobs and starts sinking down onto the cement until her elbows are on her knees. Heather immediately catches her as she sinks down, unable to stand on her own two feet anymore. Naya is holding her hands over her face as her entire body shakes with overwhelming sobs.
"I've got you, beautiful, I've got you. I'm not letting you go. Shhh..." Heather says trying to provide as much security and comfort as Naya needs. She cups the back of Naya's head as her opposite hand is running up and down her spine. "You're alright love, It's all a good thing!" Heather says trying to coax her wife to lift her head up.
"I..I...What is...I don't understand what's happening..." Naya chokes out as nears stream down her face. Her friends looked on completely shocked and waiting for Heather's explanation.
"As I said, Merry Christmas my Love. This is for you and our daughter. I wasn't comfortable having a baby in the old trailer with all the people and usage it had and there were worn and rusted out spots all over and that wasn't okay with me. I know our daughter will be on set with us all the time and I need to know she's in a safe place. I needed to make sure my girls are okay and safe. This one was pretty much as the top of the line as I could get." Heather finished.
"I...I don't deserve this...oh my god, Heather, I cant acce..." Naya sobs pulling Heather close so she can bury her face in her wife's neck. Heather can feel the hot tears landing on her skin. She's never seen her wife this completely surprised and overwhelmed. She was beyond grateful she loved it but she also knew she needed to get her wife to settle down because it would start upsetting their daughter.
"Look at me love," Heather encourages gently directing Naya's chin to look her in the eyes. "You deserve this more than anyone I know. The way you've carried my daughter, the way you love me, the way I know I'm loved every day is exactly what I wanted to give back to you. You can and will accept this. It's yours. It will follow us wherever we go. I want our daughter to feel comfortable and safe here. For her to have a place she'll eventually come after school and can do her homework. A place where she knows inside those walls is completely secure and hers. Please let me give that to both of you. Please." Heather looks at Naya pleadingly all Naya can do is choke out a laugh through a sob and shake her head.
"I've never been given anything like this, I've never had anyone... I don't even know what to say, Heather. There are no words that fit what I'm feeling right now." Naya stammers out as the pulls her wife in for a kiss. Just as they connect their lips they feel their baby girl kicking between them and both started giggling into the kiss.
"Hi, sweetheart! You must have woken up from all the commotion. sorry if we were a loud baby. Did you wake up so you can see your second little home too, honey?" Heather says as she bends down and places several kisses on Naya's moving belly. The cast is still standing watching the interaction with amazement. They all just wanted a Heather in her life, obviously for the girls, heather in man form, but still one just like her no less. Heather looks at her wife and grabs her hand.
"We will be out shortly you guys then you can come to see, alright?" Heather turns to the group and they all nod with a smile.
"Take your time!" Amber says with a smile.
"You ready, beautiful," Heather said approaching the door holding onto her wife's hand.
"God I don't even know. I mean my legs are working now so we better go check it out I guess." Naya responds still beyond speechless which makes heather giggle.
"After you beautiful," Heather says guiding Naya to the door.
Naya puts her hand on the door pulling the handle when she realizes it's not budging. She looks at her wife confused and Heather points to a keypad on the door.
"When you or our daughter are here I don't want just anyone being able to come and go or have access to our space," Heather answers assuringly which makes Naya beam and dip her head shyly at her wife's ability to always make her feel so completely safe and secure. Heather leans over and whispers a set of numbers to Naya and she smiles in response and punches in the numbers on the digital keypad and presses the green button hearing the sound of the lock. Naya smiles at Heather once again completely and utterly in love with her wife. She tries the door again and this time it opens with no problem. Heather puts a hand on her back as Naya steps into the RV, Heather following right behind her.
As soon as Naya enters the RV she is met with the most stunning sight. It looks like an actual living space. She is completely overwhelmed.
"What do you think, beautiful?" Heather asked her wife who attempted to form words but all that came out were squeaks. Heather giggles and kisses her wife and stands behind her taking her further into the RV. She pulls Naya close so that her back is against Heather's chest and she places her hands on Naya's round stomach where the baby is kicking like crazy.
"I'll show you everything my love, First we have a really comfy couch, I made sure I choose one that was super easy to have cleaned but I didn't want to go with leather because leather is not comfortable to lay on. I wanted something soft, and cozy for our daughter to be able to lay on after school or take a nap." Heather says while Naya shakes her head and places her hands over the top of her wife's where they are feeling their daughter rolling around.
"The floor is actually super neat too," Heather says while pointing to the vinyl flooring that resembles whitewashed wood in a gorgeous light white with tints of cream and gray. "What's really cool about this is if you run or damage a piece of the floor we can replace each piece so easily. Perfect for kids!" Heather says excitedly while lifting a piece of the floor up from the corner to show Naya.
"Ok, that's fucking genius," Naya says amazed. Heather sets the floor back in place and it looks so seamless you would never know it wasn't real wood.
"Here, love, turn around and look at the kitchen part," Heather says slightly turning them noticing for the first time all the little details she didn't see before. Naya gasps and takes one hand off her belly to cover her mouth. The kitchen was light and airy which is exactly what Heather wanted to keep the space open and light. The cabinets went the entire span of the wall and were a pure glossy white color. Heather wanted to make sure they had tons of storage for baby clothes, extra bottles, pacifiers, diapers, wipes, toys, and all the little things they would need to have on hand. She pointed to the countertops which were white and gray marble that coordinated with the cabinets perfectly. The kitchenette also had a sink, stovetop, full-size refrigerator/ freezer, and built-in microwave all in a stainless steel finish. a full-size refrigerator was important for her so they could keep snacks, and food for their baby girl, and keep a supply of breast milk in the freezer.
As Heather is pointing and showing Naya everything she customized in the kitchen, Naya is literally speechless. She doesn't think she's ever been so in love in her life. To experience that love for her wife and at the same time, be able to feel her daughter bouncing around and going crazy in her temporary home, is completely overwhelming.
"Hey, sweetheart, don't cry. It's all good! You're ok." Heather said comfortingly as she kisses Naya on the cheek and pulls her closer against her chest again and covers her belly.
"Are you ready to see the rest or do you need a minute," Heather asked gently kissing her wife's shoulder and rubbing her bump.
"I think I'm ready. Ugh, this is really overwhelming!" Naya responds while wiping her tears.
"Just remember you deserve this. My beautiful wife." Heather says turning Naya in her arms and pulling her close while kissing her forehead.
"I just love you so much, I can't express what this means to me," Naya said still teary.
"I know you love me. I love you so much too, both of you. This is for my girls."
The girls share a long passionate kiss before separating and Heather places one last kiss on her nose before taking her further down the RV.
Heather walks down the hall and they get to the bathroom which is much larger than their old one. Probably 4x the size! Naya gasps out once again.
"Wait is that a bathtub?!" Naya shouts shocked and points as she takes a step further into the bathroom. The cabinets and countertop were identical to the kitchen. Everything was seamless. Heather again did floor-to-ceiling cabinet storage so they would have plenty of places to put things they needed for themselves on set and for their daughter.
"Yes, it is. That was another must-have for me. He gave me the option of a walk-in shower or a bathtub with a showerhead and it was a no-brainer. Until she's probably six or seven she'll be taking baths so that was something I had custom done for her. All the edges are rounded and there are no sharp edges anywhere." Heather started pointing to the bathtub faucet that was built into the wall where it fills the tub. She heard so many horror stories of little kids slipping and hitting their heads on those faucets, so she put in every safety precaution possible.
Naya looks up at her wife in disbelief. She still feels like she's dreaming. All she can think to do is pull her wife close. "You are the best wife and mother in the world. Do you know that? Honestly.
"Anything for my favorite girls," Heather says with a smile causing Naya to look up with that cheek-bunching grin that always makes her weak at the knees. Those dimples are the most adorable thing she's ever seen. She won't be able to contain herself if her daughter has her wife's dimples. Can you imagine?
Heather pulls Naya's hand out of the bathroom which Naya barely wants to leave, and pulls her further into the hallway where they instantly see a glass-like wall that hides about 6 feet of closet space and storage. The door slides open and closed like a shower to it doesn't swing out and block the hallway. A perfect place to hang their cheerio's uniforms, set clothes, regular clothes, baby clothes, spare blankets, and pillows.
"Wow..." Naya said. She couldn't seem to say anything else. Everything was beyond her wildest dreams.
"Just so you know it's not really glass. It's like reflective plexiglass that acts just like a mirror but I didn't want to have a wall of glass with a child around if she were to ever run into it or something. It's like a thick plastic-like material. I wanted to do that rather than something wood or solid because it made the hallway feel so open and large." Heather explained. Naya shook her head with a smile. She slid the doors to the closet open and they slid into the wall like magic. She looked inside and pulled it closed again. "This is unbelievable." Naya finished already noticing a couple of blankets and pillows they had in their old trailer and a few clothes hanging in the closet.
There are two closed doors left in the very back of the RV. Naya looks at Heather waiting for her queue. Heather smiles at her and kisses her head.
"Your choice baby," Heather said smiling as she watched Naya open the door to their room. This freaking RV had a bedroom, not just a couch. Naya brought both hands over her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes once again.
Heather giggles at Naya's excitement. She can tell she wasn't expecting that and pulled her wife close kissing her repeatedly.
The bedroom was light and airy. A full-size plush bed with two side tables. The headboard was essentially another wall of storage cabinets that matched the bathroom and kitchen. Floor to ceiling. Because they were over the bed and she didn't want anything to fall out or hit them while their sleeping she had latches put on the cabinets that you lifted up and they would open. Heather was all about safety now that she was becoming a mother, and her wife thought it was the sweetest thing in the world.
"I wanted you to have a space where you could come feed our daughter or sleep in between scenes or take naps if you need. This is a room where our daughter can do her schoolwork eventually and we can close the door so it's quiet for her. I wanted to have a space that was farthest away from the main space for that peace and quiet we will sometimes need." Heather explains.
"Do you have any idea how damn amazing you are baby? I can't believe you did this! I literally have no words to express the love I have for you. She obviously agrees because she's kicking me like crazy right now." Naya says smiling at her belly seeing their daughter rolling around.
"If she loves this room she'll love the last room," Heather said making Naya quirk an eyebrow. Heather simply walks her out of the room and motions for the door right next to it.
"Go ahead, my love." Heather encourages with an anxious smile. Naya turns to her and smirks before grabbing the handle of the door and turning it slowly. She opens the white door and instantly breaks into a sob. Heather without hesitation brings Naya into her arms and rocks her from side to side as she buries her face in her wife's neck.
"You didn't..." Naya choked out. Heather simply smiled and held her wife tighter sensing that she just needed a moment to gather herself after seeing everything. She holds Naya for about five minutes as her sobs finally begin to quiet down until she's just sniffling. Heather lifts her head and kisses her forehead, nose, and finally her lips.
"You're ok, sweetheart." Do you like it?" Heather asks sweetly
"You have no idea." Naya sniffles out lifting her head to look around the room.
Heather had designed the room specifically for their baby girl. Built-in white glossy cabinets span floor to ceiling so they don't take up any floor space. Each cabinet has a safety hinge. Against the back wall, there's a white crip that matches the one they picked out for her nursery at home. Most of the things she got for their RV were things they choose together she just got doubles of the things they needed if they brought their baby to work.
"Baby I opted to not put in a dresser or any of that because I want her to be able to play in here and I don't want to have to worry about her climbing on the drawers or shutting her head on the corner of a dresser, so I did the build-in storage cabinets that go floor to ceiling and they have the latch so she can't climb or get into them without us. They'll hold her clothes and everything she'll need. In that cabinet right there I put a changing pad that's washable you just lay it on the floor. In the cabinet on this side, there are stuffed toys, a couple of extra blankets, rattles, teething rings, pacifiers, and everything she'll need." Heather says as she opens the cabinets and points out everything to Naya.
"Holy shit..." Naya breaths out in complete disbelief. "I have never...this is unreal, baby." Naya stutters.
"I just hope you like it. I hope she likes it. My two perfect girls." Heather says kissing the black hair on the side of Naya's head as her wife cuddles into her side. Heather runs her hands over her stomach and laughs when she feels her daughter dancing in her belly.
"Hi, littlest love! You like your room don't you sweet girl. I hope you always feel safe here. Momma will make sure this is a safe place for you. I love you my girl." Heather says and looks up to see fresh tears in her wife's eyes.
"Love, are you ok?" Heather asks wiping the tears away with the pads of her thumbs.
"Yeah, I just get emotional whenever you talk to her. She always responds to your voice and your touch. She feels so happy and safe when your around. I can feel it." Naya finishes wrapping her arms around her wife's neck and pulling her close.
Heather and Naya walk back over the main part of the RV and sit on the couch for the first time. Naya immediately moans at how soft and comfortable it is. On their old couch, you could literally feel the was so hard and uncomfortable. This couch felt like a cloud. She allowed herself to sink into it and look around the room at all the little things she may have missed the first time. Of course, there were all those little details like the crown molding, the crystal clear glass, and chrome knobs on the cabinets making it look so sophisticated and elegant.
Naya also noticed that there were no sharp corners anyway. Even the countertop had a rounded edge. Mama bear Hemo was a real thing, guys. Wow.
"How are you feeling?" Heather asked her wife bringing her close to be able to lean against her. She brought her hand to rub circles on her round belly.
"Overwhelmed, loved, protected, happy, grateful, and like I'm the luckiest person in the world to have someone like you in my life who loves me so unconditionally that she would do something like this and work so hard for me," Naya says leaning against Heather wiping a stray tear. Heather pulls her as close to her body as possible and places a kiss on her lips.
"You both are my everything. I needed to do this for you. I needed you both to be in a safe, clean, practical space. When she's here with us she needs a place where we can take care of her adequately. I just want you both to be happy." Heather says sincerely.
"You always make us happy. You walking into the room makes us happy. I love you so much more than I could ever tell you, Heather Morris." Naya says pulling her wife into a kiss.
"I totally forgot about those guys outside!" Heather says through a laugh. It had been about 20 minutes since they had first stepped into the trailer. "Should I go get them?" Heather asked her wife who was leaning against her.
"Yeah, you better or they'll keep badgering you to see it. I'm surprised they haven't started banging on the door yet." Naya laughs
"Good thing they can't come barging in since it was their keypad!" Heather replies laughing.
"Does it automatically lock when the door is closed or do you have to lock it when you come in?" Naya asked
"Nope the minute you close the door it locks behind you, it's a safety feature I put in. Anybody that comes in will have to enter a code. No exceptions." Heather informed making Naya smile. Heather's protective instincts for her and their daughter were like none other.
"God, I love you," Naya said through a deep breath making Heather smile and turn towards her wife placing a sweet kiss on her lips.
"I love you both too. More than anything." Heather said getting up to go and call out for their friends.
"Hey, guys!" Heather calls out for her friends who she sees sitting on the picnic benches outside the trailers. "Wanna come see?" Heather added with a smile. Immediately the gang was rushing over and not wasting any time scrambling into the RV. The second they enter their jaws drop to the floor.
"Go explore, but don't open any cabinets. Naya hasn't been able to look through everything yet so just walkthrough for now." Heather says before letting them explore the rooms.
Heather rejoins Naya who's sitting on the couch with both hands resting on her belly and goes back to lean on her wife's shoulder. As they sit down in their little bubble on the couch they can vaguely hear their friends rushing through various rooms talking over each other. They were able to make out a few sentences.
Oh my god, this is insane!
Did you see the baby's room!
Holy shit this is nicer than a hotel...
I've never been so jealous in my life...
The girls continue to giggle at their friends talking over each other excitedly. When they all make their way back into the main part They take a seat on the couch next to the girls, to the right are two recliners, and in the front of the RV, there are two chairs that are technically the driver and passenger chairs but swivel around to act as part of the living room when it's not being driven anywhere.
"This is insane girls! Hemo holy crap. You did amazing! Naya is seriously one lucky girl!" Diana says
"I'm the lucky one. I'd do it again a million times if I could see my wife smile like I was able to see today. It's my favorite smile in the world." Heather says making all the girls swoon. Naya cuddles closer to Heather and kisses her shoulder.
"God, you're perfect," Jenna says making Heather laugh
"Oh lord, so far from it. I just love hard and try my best is all." Heather says moving her hand over her wife's belly in a circular motion.
"You couldn't have done anything more perfect for me, baby. I love you so much." Naya says looking into her wife's stunning blue eyes and placing a kiss on her lips. How she got this lucky she will never know.
