April 3rd, 2015
A week later it was Heather's first day back on set. She wasn't returning full-time but had agreed to help out here and there. Naya was on board with this since they now had that glorious luxurious RV. If they had still had that rusty trailer she wouldn't have conceded to this.
"You're positive you're okay with this my love? If you have any hesitations just say the word and I won't go." Heather insisted sounding slightly panicked.
"Baby, I'm fine with hanging out on set with her while you're rehearsing. Our friends will love to see her. You can come to visit her anytime you need. Are you having second thoughts about going?" Naya asked her wife.
"I'm just going to miss her so much. I know she'll be with you, I know she will be near, I understand all of that. I just..." Heather rushes out nervously.
"Baby I get it. You are so strong for doing this so soon. If you need to see her facetime us. I'll do whatever to help ease you into this. Have I told you how much I adore you for loving us the way you do?" Naya confessed just above a whisper.
"I love you both more than anything. I don't know anything else in life. Just please promise me you'll get me if anything happens." Heather urged.
"You know I will." Naya insisted.
Heather was choosing what outfit to put on their baby for her first day on set. She cannot believe she's doing this but she ended up selecting one of the outfits from her godfather. All Heather can do is shake her head and smile at herself.
Chris had purchased her a pair of exceptionally soft jeggings that look like skinny jeans but they're a cotton-jersey material. Sheer genius. Chris bought it with a long sleeve fitted J-Crew aqua blue shirt that matched her eyes. It also came with a faux fur white vest and Heather picked a jersey knit headband with a white bow and slipped it over her head of hair. Did I mention she looked like an actual doll? She was so flawless. Her eyes looked insanely blue in this shirt and it made Heather beam with pride.
"Oh my goodness Soph! I can't with you! You are the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life!" Heather all but squeals out as she's sitting cross-legged on the carpeted nursery floor. She leans down and smooches her daughter's belly before putting a hand under her head and the other under her butt to lift her in her arms gently. The second Sophia was in her momma's arms she pressed her face against Heather's neck and sighed deeply making her giggle. She was so much like Naya. When her little shallow breaths even out, she knows her baby is fast asleep.
"Come on my little love. Let's go see if mami needs any help getting ready." Heather tells Sophia as they leave the nursery and walk over to the master bedroom.
Heather rounds the corner and strolls into the master bedroom and positions Sophia on the center of the bed before stepping into the walk-in closet and catching sight of her wife on the floor with her knees up and her arms resting on them with her head down. Heather quickly rushes over and bends down picking her wife up and bringing her to the main area of the bedroom and settling her in the armchair by the bed. Although Sophia isn't nearly close to being mobile enough to move, it still unnerved Heather to leave her there by herself.
Heather kneels in front of the chair after plucking a couple of tissues from the box on the nightstand.
"My love? Talk to me beautiful. What's on your mind?" Heather prompted while grazing up and down her wife's thighs soothingly.
"Sorry. It's so ridiculous. I just tried to fit into my favorite go-to workout lounge leggings and they were so tight. I just realized how much my body changed even though it doesn't look like an enormous difference to everyone else, I notice it." Naya confesses as a few tears flee her brown eyes. Heather leans up and cups both of her cheeks to place a kiss on her lips.
"One thing I'm never going to tell you is to ignore your feelings. Your opinions and emotions are more than valid." Heather pauses to look at her baby who fell asleep with her arms out like she's making a snow angel. Heather turns back to her wife." Honey what you just went through to bring that little troublemaker into this world is beyond my comprehension." Heather says before sinking down and looking up at her stunning wife.
"My love, can you stand up for me?" Heather asks taking Naya's hand and easing her up. Naya looks entirely vulnerable and confused. Heather's heart hurts seeing her wife look so defeated but hopes she can comfort her. She'd do anything to support her.
Heather grinned and crouched down, "Your feet are elegant and you used these beauties to walk into my life that very first day on set. That day changed the rest of our lives. Your calves are perfectly toned and gorgeous. One of my favorite parts of your beautiful body is your thighs" Heather confesses moving her hands up Naya's caramel skin, "I love how they squeeze me when I'm between them. The way they flex tighter when you cum."
"Baby..." Naya blushed shyly as tears began streaming down her face.
Heather places a kiss on her knees before proceeding.
"Now I want to talk about your lovely ass. It's so beautiful no matter what you wear. It's so flawlessly round, and I love to hold and grip it as we hug and the way you moan when I squeeze it as we're making love is so sexy." Heather declares while placing a kiss on her ass over her pajamas. Naya is sobbing and sniffling trying to keep herself together.
Heather gets up off of her knees and goes on her knees so she's eye level with Naya's stomach. Naya can see Heather is getting emotional now too.
"You're stomach. This gorgeous part of your body was our baby girl's home for nine months. Right here." Heather says tearfully while placing her hand on her wife's mostly flat stomach. This part of your body changed our life and gave us life." Heather adds while raising Naya's shirt to place a kiss on her wife's abdomen then leaning her forehead against it as Naya brings her hands to smooth over Heather's hair as the tears stream down her caramel skin.
"Now your lovely waist. I love how it feels with my arms wrapped tightly around it and the way your stomach twitches when I merely touch it." Heather says while raising Naya's shirt to place a kiss on her waistline.
"Your back is beautiful. It has the flawless curve that I love to run my hands up and down. It's so incredibly soft and sexy." Heather said as she turned Naya ever so slightly so she can kiss the warm skin of her back. Naya has both hands over her mouth as tears stream down her face.
"Then your breasts. Damn, your breasts, are the most stunning boobs to ever exist. They're perfectly sized for your body and your nipples are a flawless color. I worship them and the way they get goosebumps when I knead them early in the morning. Not to mention the fact that they feed and nourish our daughter and provide her with the strength and nourishment to help her grow and stay healthy. You are literally feeding a human, my love." heather finished and lifted Naya's top to place a kiss on the top of each breast before bringing her shirt back down gradually. Naya still has her hands covering her mouth and her eyes are pouring fresh tears.
"I adore your shoulders and the little freckles on top of them. I especially love to kiss your mole every time I make love to you." Heather confesses as she kissed Naya's shoulder over the mole on her left shoulder.
"Your stunning neck and the way it curves flawlessly," Heather starts kissing Naya's pulse point and earning teary moans from Naya. "It's the perfect spot to kiss you and I love how ticklish you get."
Naya was crying so hard she could barely breathe. She's never felt so understood, respected, cherished, and honored in her entire life. She will never forget this moment.
"Your chin is beautiful and it has these two faint creases when you laugh that I simply adore," Heather says as Naya chokes out a smile that shows off those lines that she was just talking about. "See those!" Heather smiles and kisses her chin making her wife giggle and look down bashfully.
"You have these charming ears that I love to kiss. I adore the way I can whisper into them and send a shiver down your entire body." Heather said in her ear causing Naya to shiver. Heather smiles and places a kiss on both of her ears.
"Oh God, Naya, your eyes. They're the most stunning eyes. They're like rich black coffee. I always get a warm and cozy feeling when I look into them. They are the window to your soul, my love." Heather says and kisses Naya's eyes as they flicker closed and open again after Heather kisses her eyelids.
"Your nose is one of the sweetest and one of my favorite places to kiss. Every time you give me your special smile it scrunches up all adorably and makes me fall in love with you all over again" Heather says as she kisses the tip of her wife's dainty nose.
"Now your gorgeous, luscious, and delicious lips. My favorite part of you to kiss all day long to show you how much I love you." Heather says as she kisses her wife passionately on the lips and brings their foreheads together. Naya is sobbing and clings to Heather like she never has before.
"When you are ready, not when the doctor says your ready, we will go slow and I'll remind you of all of these wonderful things that make me love you more than anything. My beautiful Naya. I cherish everything about your body. You're allowed to have these moments, you've been through a lot emotionally and physically. Promise me if you do feel these things you'll come to me. There's no reason to feel embarrassed for having perfectly valid feelings, my love. You are so fully and unconditionally loved. Never, ever forget that." Heather finished and hoisted a sobbing Naya on the bed in her lap and sat near their daughter.
Heather turns Naya's head gently and made her look over at their sleeping daughter from where it was buried in her neck.
"That's what your body did, beautiful. That perfect little girl who we love more than anything came from your body. That's the little person you carried around for all those months for us. I'll never be able to thank you for her." Heather smiles and kisses Naya's cheek and wipes her falling tears with her thumb as Naya releases a couple of shaky breaths.
Heather lifts Naya from her lap and sets her in the bed before moving to the closet as a confused Naya watches and wipes the tears away with her shirt sleeve. A few seconds later she comes back with what appears to be the same pair of leggings that Naya was trying to put on earlier but ended up throwing them in the corner. Naya was confused why she'd bring them back to her instead of throwing those damn things in the trash with the rest of her too-tight clothing.
"Here you go love," Heather said as she handed the leggings to her wife. Naya looked at her sadly.
"Baby they don't fit..." Naya said defeatedly.
"They are the same ones but they'll fit you. Please trust me." Heather urges while holding out the leggings for her wife. Naya takes them shaking her head and going to the walk-in closet.
A minute later Heather is on the bed running her hands through a sleeping Sophia's thick hair when her wife flies out of the other room and launches into her wife's embrace. Heather stands up and lifts her until her feet aren't touching the ground anymore. Heather kisses her repeatedly all over her face.
"Look at you, beautiful. God damn, your sexy. My gorgeous girl." Heather breaths out and brings Naya back to her chest and runs her hand over her head soothingly.
"You care for me so well, Heather. I feel so incredibly loved and understood by you. You will never know how much I love you, baby. Please know how much I love you!" Naya sobbed desperately.
"I always know you love me and I hope to God you know how much I love the two of you. How do they fit, beautiful? I want to make sure you're comfortable." Heather asked her wife while stepping back enough to wipe the tears from her face.
"Perfectly. I can't believe you bought another pair." Naya breaths out and shake her head.
"Well I know they are your go-to for lounging and I thought after a baby you may want some more room and not have them be so constricting so I just got you the next size up. Now you have both so you're all set, my love!" Heather says simply making Naya blush and kiss her passionately on the lips. After the break from their kiss, they hear a baby grunt behind them and Heather turns and smiles as she picks Sophia up.
"You fell asleep again little girl! I should call you Naya!" Heather said through a soft giggle causing Naya to playfully scowl at her wife. Heather turns her daughter so her back is against her stomach and she's holding her feet like she's sitting in a chair before turning to her wife. Naya hadn't even noticed her outfit yet and laughs before kissing Sophia's hand and reaching her arms out to hold her.
"Oh my god baby girl! Look at you! This outfit is from your godfather isn't it?" Naya asks before glancing at her wife who nods and smiles. Naya shakes her head and smiles looking back down at her baby girl.
"You look beautiful, Mija! Are you ready to go see everyone? Should mami stop being silly and get ready?" Naya says while kissing her daughter and handing her back to Heather who brings her to her chest.
"My love, remember nothing you ever feel is silly. Just come to me when you feel those big heavy thoughts. Most of the time there's a pretty easy solution or plan to work through it. Our minds can make things so much worse if we let them get carried away. I'm always here for you. Never forget that, alright my love?" Heather says as their daughter buries her face into her neck like she always does.
"Thank you, Heather. You have no idea what everything you said just meant to me. You're the only person that can make everything better no matter what. I love you so much." Naya said.
"I love you more," Heather said as she squeezes her wife's ass as she was turned to go back to the closet. Naya turns with an open-mouthed smirk.
"Told you I love squeezing it!" Heather says as she leaves the room.
"Are we forgetting anything?" Heather asks as she finished buckling Sophia in her car seat.
"Baby even if we did forget something you made sure we had a spare of everything in the RV. Relax baby we will do fine." Naya assures as she goes over to the passenger door that her wife is already holding open for her.
"Yeah ok. I'll try to chill out. I'm sorry. I just get worried and slightly protective of my girls..." Heather sighed. Naya can't help but let out a laugh.
"Slightly?" Naya smirks and kisses Heather's neck.
"Ugh fine, I'm fiercely protective but I can't help it! I don't mess around when it comes to my family." Heather grumbles
"You're really sexy when you're protective," Naya smirks and gives her wife a passionate kiss before breaking apart after about thirty seconds. "In all honestly baby, when I see you stand up for me and our daughter I feel like I'm falling in love with you all over again. I can't explain how it feels knowing someone loves us so deeply." Naya says while kissing her wife on the lips before hopping into the car and settling into the seat. Heather closes her door and rushes over to the driver's side.
This is the first time the girls have taken Sophia out of the house since they brought her home. They were both nervous in general, but because they were going to a closed lot with people they knew so that made it much more bearable. They couldn't believe they were actually in the car driving to a place they loved with their daughter. Every part of this still seemed completely unrealistic.
The girls pull into their regular place at Paramount. Sophia began whimpering in the backseat so the moms decided to let her have her brunch in the car rather than carry her to the RV and make her wait and get more upset. Heather exits the car and hurries around to Naya's side and helps her out of the car before closing it and opening the backseat door and helping her wife inside and sliding in next to her. The backseat windows were tinted so nobody would be able to see inside.
Naya was already lifting her shirt and unbuckling Sophia. Heather was lightly scratching Naya's back with one hand and running her fingers lightly over her thighs with the other. Naya lifts Sophia out of the car seat and into her arms. She's still whimpering so Naya quickly positions her and Sophia latches immediately. Heather kisses her daughter's head and then leans up to place a lengthy kiss on her wife's forehead.
"You have no idea how inspiring it is to watch you be a mother to our child. Seeing you like this is the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen." Heather confesses as she combs her fingers through her wife's long luxurious hair and places another kiss on her cheek. Naya is nearing tears. She doesn't think she will ever get used to the wonderful words that Heather always says to her.
"You're so sweet to me baby..." Naya breathed close to tears.
"You're my person. My life. The mother of my daughter. My everything." Heather said before kissing her wife"
They both gaze at Sophia who makes smacking noises, clearly enjoying her late breakfast. They both giggle and Heather plays with her long hair.
"You're not very ladylike when you eat are you my girl?" Heather smiled at her baby daughter who was in an eating frenzy.
"Settle down my little love, no idea going to take mami away from you. Breathe honey." Heather giggled and shook her head. Naya looks up and smiles at her wife before they share a sweet kiss.
About five minutes later, Sophia finally disconnects from Naya's breast and looked up at her mothers who smiled back at her.
"Is your tummy full baby girl? Mami gave you a really good meal again didn't she angel?" Heather asked she grabbed her daughter from Naya. Sophia was looking at her with heavy eyes like she always did after a great feed. Heather couldn't stop smiling at her daughter as her wife was placing the nursing pad in her bra and putting her tee-shirt back on.
"Good job Mija. You're a good little eater," Naya said as she kissed her daughter's forehead and watched Heather gently pat her little back.
Naya slid a burp rag under her daughter's head before smiling at her two girls who always had their special time after every feeding.
Burp!
"Good job honey!" Heather praises Sophia who she can already feel is going limp in her arms as each second passes. Heather hears that all too familiar sigh and Naya stares as her baby girl wiggles her head into Heather's neck and nuzzles into her momma's neck and almost instantly falls asleep in the solace of her mother's embrace.
Naya swoons as she gawks at her girls. She snickers as Heather gestures for her to check that their daughter can breathe by how close her face is pressed against Heather's skin. Naya moves her head back ever so slightly, but as if it was a reflex, Sophia grumbles and shuffles back into her momma's neck, letting out a sigh. Naya shakes her head with her mouth open. It's so incredibly precious but she can't help but crack up at the sass her daughter exemplifies at only two weeks old.
"She's a momma's girl. No question about that," Naya said to her wife who looked over at her.
"I hope she realizes I would do anything for her..." Heather confesses truthfully while cupping her daughter's head and placing a long kiss on the side just above her ear.
"I don't know how she couldn't. She can sense the safety she feels when she's in your arms, baby. Heather peeks at her daughter who lets loose the particular whine that immediately tells her momma that she's cold. Heather doesn't miss a beat in making certain she gets whatever her little love needs.
"You are chilly aren't you, Soph?" Heather inquires while smooching her daughter. "My love, are you able to reach in her bag behind you and snatch her blanket?" Heather asks her wife who instantly nods and twists her body to pull the baby-sized quilt from her grandmother's out of the bag and quickly drapes it over their daughter who cuddles into Heather and unleashes a deep sigh.
"God I love her!" Naya breathes while placing a kiss on her baby girl's head.
"She's everything. Should we get moving? We can just leave her seat in the vehicle, I'll carry her." Heather said as Naya nodded recognizing full well her wife wasn't letting their daughter go.
Naya opens the car door and carefully gets out, of course, Heather braces their baby in with one arm while managing to grasp Naya's forearm to also make sure her wife is okay. Once Naya's feet connect with the ground below her, Heather shuffles out gently and connects her feet to the cement.
"Can you open the trunk my love and I'll grab the diaper bag?" Heather asked with a smile as she motioned with a nod over to the trunk. Naya shook her head as she opened the back of the car.
"I'll carry it, baby. You've got Sophia." Naya says but Heather just shakes her head.
"Honey, it's alright, I still don't want you to have to lift that huge bag and because it's the first time she's here, I think we went a little overboard and stuffed this bag to the brim. Just because you technically can lift the weight, doesn't mean you should have to. As my wife who just gave birth to my daughter, I'll be carrying the bag for you" Heather said leaving no room for debate.
Naya can't help the blush that appears on her face because she has the most remarkable wife to ever exist. She watches as Heather slings the bag over her right shoulder while keeping Sophia securely in her left.
"You're sure you're alright baby?" Naya asks once again as she closed the trunk of their Mercedes and begins making the familiar walk towards the trailers.
"Perfect." Heather smiled
The girls are getting close to the long line of trailers and see their friends on the picnic tables. A few notice the girls moving towards the group and squeal in excitement, but the moms are positive it's not the two of them that everyone is thrilled to see...
"SOPHIA!" The group shouts in unison making Sophia startle and let out a few whimpers on her momma's chest. Both moms put a finger over their lips and the group instantly calms down hearing the sad whimpers while watching the newborn snuggle back into her momma seeking comfort. It doesn't take the baby long before she's asleep again as Heather whispers and soothes her.
"You're okay honey, momma's got you." Heather finishes with a soft kiss to her daughter's temple.
"Whipped..." Kevin mumbles causing the others to smile and nod in agreement. Heather can't even argue, there's no point. When it comes to her wife and daughter she's a complete softie.
"Hi mommas! Naya how did you just have a baby? I'm annoyed..." Jenna says monotonously making the others laugh.
"Skinny bitch..." Amber shakes her head making everyone burst out in a fit of giggles. Amber and her one-liners...
Chris quietly approaches Heather and places a gentle kiss on his goddaughter's head.
"Was she a good girl for you both last night?" Chris asked the moms
"Very good. She only wakes up once typically. usually between 2:00-3:00 am. She's such an easy baby. She sleeps like her mami." Heather smiled and kissed her wife on the top of her head and winked at her.
"Someone likes the outfits I'm buying her..." Chris raised his eyebrow causing both of the girls to smirk.
"My wife got her dressed this morning," Naya smirked
"Oh, the wife who gave me such crap for buying all the cute outfits? That wife?" Chris asked crossing his arms playfully.
"Hey! I just didn't want you spending all your money! I never said they weren't cute..." Heather pouted causing Naya to giggle and kiss her shoulder.
"Did anyone tell you lately that you are whipped Hemo?" Chord teasingly said
"Shut up Overstreet." Heather groaned. "Alright, as much as I would love to hang out and take this abuse, I am going to make sure my girls are all settled. Harry, knock at our door in about fifteen minutes and we will go over to the shed together." Heather finished and Harry nodded with a smile.
"See you guys soon!" Naya waved behind her and went ahead of her wife to enter the code on the keypad and open the door. Heather walks into the RV for the first time in two weeks with their baby girl. It felt like a very full-circle moment for the two girls. They started as friends on this set, and now they were bringing their daughter here. Heather and Naya couldn't believe how surreal this felt for both of them.
"Alright honey, where would you like me to lay her down?" Heather asked as she massaged Sophia's head comfortingly as she rocked her from side to side.
"I guess we could try laying her in her crib since it's dark and quiet in that room. I know I'll be in there every five minutes checking on her but I do want her to get used to that room as being her special space." Naya said hesitantly.
"Okay, my love. I know you'll keep a good eye over her." Heather says as she hugs her daughter tighter and kisses her head before wandering into the nursery behind Naya and letting her kiss their daughter before slowly lowering her onto the soft but flat mattress. she smoothes out the quilt over their daughter so it's not bunched up anywhere and lays it flat over their daughter so she stays warm.
Naya and Heather just spend five minutes staring at their baby girl. Heather wraps her arms around Naya's waist from behind and holds her tightly as they appreciate this moment as a family. Heather pulls her phone out of her pocket and takes a photo so they can remember their baby's first time in her crib in their RV that they will be spending so much time in as she grows up.
"She's so beautiful, Heather." Naya sighed as she crossed her arms over her wife's that are hugging her around the waist. Heather leans forward to kiss her neck and jawline.
"Of course she is, she came from you, my love. Any child you carry will be gorgeous. That's a given." Heather spoke honestly causing Naya to turn around as her eyes glazed over with tears. Heather holds a hand over the back of her head and grazes her fingers up and down her back simply holding her wife as tight as she can. "Are you alright my love. I didn't mean to make you cry, honey" Heather says as she places a kiss on the tip of her wife's nose.
"Yeah, sorry," Naya sniffles. "You just say these sweet things to me all the time. You think I would be used to it by now because you do it so often, but it still takes my breath away every time. My hormones are still crazy so that doesn't help either but you're just a sweetheart, so that's ultimately what it is." Naya smiles and stands on her tiptoes to place a kiss on her wife's lips. "I'm going to miss you today. Sophia will probably be beside herself. She's such a momma's girl." Naya confessed with a little frown at the thought of her daughter missing her momma.
"God, I'm going to miss both of my girls too. I can't think about it too much or I'll start bawling. Please come get me though if she's being a little stinker or needs me...or if you need me. I know the others will check on you probably all of the time but still, I have to know if you need me. Promise me that." Heather urges as she kisses her wife on the forehead and glances down at their sleeping baby girl in her crib.
"I promise. Come on let's go into the main room but leave her door propped open. Here let me grab the monitor camera so I can watch her." Naya says while going back in the room quietly to grab the monitor off of the side table and turn it on making sure it works. Once they see the image of their baby girl on the screen, they quietly shuffle out of the room and into the main living space.
Just as Heather was filling a travel mug of hot tea there was a knock at the door.
"That's Harry I'm guessing. The two of us were going to walk to the shed together." Heather turns to her wife who nods with a smile and goes to the door to open it for her friend.
"Hey, Shum! She's just filling her travel mug. We have an extra one, did you want to make yourself a coffee or tea?" Naya asked as Harry smiles and steps into the RV.
"Actually that sounds amazing. I was in such a rush this morning since my alarm didn't go off. I may take you up on your offer to have a coffee. I haven't had any yet so if I am going to be of value for you today Hemo I'll need to get some energy!" Harry laughs and walks towards the kitchenette where Heather is already holding out the travel mug for him to take and opening the drawer so he could select from the beverage options they had available.
"You girls are lifesavers, thank you! So where's the little miss?" Harry inquired recalling that Sophia was in Heather's arms the last time she saw them.
"We are trying out the crib in there," Naya explains while motioning to the bedroom. "So far so good, so we will see how it goes. Usually, when she sleeps one of us is right next to her so I'm a little bit of a nervous wreck but I carry the monitor and check in on her every few minutes." Naya confirms receiving a smile from their friend and a kiss on the lips from her wife.
"Alright, beautiful, remember if you need me you kn..." Heather starts and Naya places a kiss on her lips
"I know baby. I promise. Go in her room and say goodbye to her then you two go do what you need to do." Naya says as she taps Heather's butt and motions to the nursery.
Harry sits on the recliner next to where Naya sat on the couch. Naya forgot she had the monitor going and they listened to Heather speak to Sophia.
"My beautiful daughter. Mami will be with you all day, don't worry. I just have to go to work with uncle Harry and uncle Zach for a while. You'll have such a good time with your mami but if you need a momma hug you have mami call me ok?" Heather says while wiping a tear. Why was this so hard? She wasn't going out of town for days and her wife and daughter were still on the lot. It's just all those things combined and they're all brand new feelings for her that it's overwhelming. "I love you so much, my angel. Be a good little girl for your mami, ok? To the moon and back my baby girl." Heather finishes as she reaches in and caresses her daughter's cheek with the back of her hand with a feather-light touch before walking out of the room.
Harry and Naya are in their seats smiling at the monitor. "She sure loves this whole mommy thing doesn't she?" Harry asks as he looks up from the monitor and glances at his friend.
"God, she was made to be a mother. She and Sophia are adorable together, They're already best friends, I can tell. If Sophia is startled or scared, she needs her momma, the same way I need her. It's this unexplainable thing where we both need to be tucked in close to her to feel safe." Naya smiles thinking of how her daughter responds to her wife's touch. Harry smiles back at his friend knowing that her daughter is probably going to be the main topic of their conversations today. Just as he's about to respond, Heather walks back into the room.
"Alright, we better leave before I change my mind." Heather gives a small smile to Harry and goes to the couch to kiss her wife on the lips.
"I love you, beautiful. Call me anytime ok?" Heather urges earning a nod and a smile from her wife. She sighs and places one more kiss on her wife's nose before picking up her travel mug and closing the door slowly behind her.
It was now almost noon and it had been about three hours since Heather had seen her baby girl. Naya was just going to finish her lunch they brought this morning before walking over to the tin shed so Sophia could see her momma dance. She may not have any idea what's going on but Naya doesn't care. Just as she's eating her lunch at the same time she's nursing her daughter in her lap she hears a knock on the door. She groans a bit and sets her fork down and gets up slowly not to jostle her newborn. She luckily remembers she's not covered and just has her shirt raised above her breasts to feed her baby.
"Who is it?" Naya calls out from the inside."
"Diana" she hears from the other side of the door. She's glad it's at least one of the girls so she doesn't feel the urgent need to cover up as much. Naya goes to the door and opens it, again being careful not to upset her.
"Hey, Di." Naya smiles as she opens the door politely and takes a step back so she can come in. Diana smiles at her and the baby before making her way in so Naya can close the door behind her.
"Hi, you two, what have girls been doing? I just had a thirty-minute break so I thought I'd come to say hi and see the little one." Diana says while motioning to the feeding baby.
"So far we're just hanging out. She slept for a good hour after heather left this morning and then we've been playing hanging out before she got hungry.
"Sounds like a good day." Diana smiled and then started fidgeting a bit which made Naya look at her curiously.
"Something ok your mind?" Naya asked as she baby unmatched and she quickly put her pad on under her nursing bra and brought her shirt back down to cover her chest and stomach. She gently lifted the two-week-old and placed the burp towel over her shoulder and patted Sophia's back gently.
Diana smiles at how tiny Sophia looks in the arms of an adult. She turns back to Naya and looks at her before looking in her lap.
"I'm sorry about what happened at the coffee shop," Diana confessed. Naya took a deep breath and nodded
"I know Diana and I'm making an effort to be forgiving but this beautiful girl was inside of me when you two did that to me. Hell, I was so close to my due date at that point and if I would have fallen on my stomach or landed in just the wrong way I would have lost her." Naya says trying not to get emotional as she covers her daughter with her quilt and kisses the back of her heads
I know and I think about that what if all the damn time. I don't even know what took place that day..." Diana responded. Naya looked at her and looked down at the sleeping in her arms.
"I know you may have not meant any harm but the point is that it did happen. I was fucking terrified. I've never been so damn scared and powerless in my life. I was trying to defend myself but I was literally clutching my belly to keep my child safe while the two of you took off and watched from the doorway. I felt so alone. I just never imagined it would be you two that would do that to us. That's another big thing that broke my heart." Naya confessed and she snuggled her baby close to her on her chest.
Diana looked down in shame and couldn't make eye contact with her friend. "God, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what the hell happened..." Diana said she put her head in her hands.
"I'm sure you didn't mean it and it just happened and now it's done. It's just going to take time to have the same level of trust and friendship back that we had before. I thank you for being there at the hospital though. I know you waited with everyone else all day." Naya added.
"Of course. I was so excited to meet her. She's honestly the cutest little thing I've ever seen. I just hope one day you'll trust me with her." Diana admitted with a frown
"I know." Naya acknowledged matching the sad face that Diana donned. "Hopefully the trust will be earned back someday. Obviously, when she's awake you're welcome to hold her, but as far as babysitting or outings with either of you, that's something Heather would completely disagree with until she knows she can trust you both again. We're not doing this to be excessively difficult or mean, please know that. We do need to know that the people who are watching over our daughter would never let anything like that happen." Naya finished earning a somber nod from the blonde.
"I get it, I do. I just hate that it happened at all. Please just know how sorry I am. Did you want to walk over to the shed? I'll come with you?" Diana asked Naya who looked down at her shirt.
"Yeah, sure. Did you want to hold her? I want to change my shirt before I go. She spit up several times on this one." Naya said while pointing to the numerous marks on her shirt. Diana nods and carefully accepts the baby from Naya who scampers out of the room to swap her current shirt out for a clean one. She also tosses her hair in a messy bun so it's out of her face.
When she goes out into the main room Diana is holding their daughter while looking out the window and bouncing her softly.
"Ready Di?" Naya asks as she puts her phone in the pocket of her leggings that her wife had just purchased for her and moves towards the door. Diana motions for Naya to grab the baby but she shakes her head.
"You're still her aunt Di. You can always hold her. Unless you want me to take her..." Naya said but Diana shook her head with a smile and cradled the baby as she stepped out of the RV with Naya right behind her.
"Nay do you need to lock the door?" Diana asks as she nods behind her at the door to the RV.
"It automatically loves whenever it closes. Hemo safety feature." Naya smiles and winks at the blonde causing her to giggle.
Diana and Naya were walking across the lot in the direction of the tin shed when they saw Amber walking about twenty feet in front of them. Naya tried to make a quiet enough noise that wouldn't startle her daughter but loud enough that her friend would hear. Amber did hear something and turned around. A smile comes across her face immediately as she walks slowly over to them.
"Hi, you three!" Amber smiles and kisses all the girls on the cheek. "Where are you headed?" amber asked as she ran her hand up and down Sophia's back gently who was in Diana's arms.
"Headed to see this one's, momma," Naya said tilting her head towards Sophia. "Hemo hasn't seen her in three hours and based on the texts and emojis I've received I can tell it's not going so well for her. She needs to see her daughter to break up the day for her a little bit. I'm sure they're due for a break soon anyway. They usually get forty-five minutes between noon and one for lunch." Naya says as they walk.
"You coming with us A?" Diana asked
"Sure. Wasn't really going to do much for my lunch break anyway. Only if it's okay with you girls?" Amber asked looking over at the girls walking beside her on her right.
"Don't be silly, of course, you can!" Naya stated with a big smile and they all made the remaining three-minute walk over to the tin shed.
They opened the door slowly to the shed, There are three doors to get in and they're all metal doors so when they're slammed too hard their loud and they echo. None of them wanted to startle Sophia. Amber closed the door softly until it clicked shut and they walk over to the break table in the corner waiting for the group to come back in. Naya assumed they were all grabbing their lunch from the backroom. Sophia wasn't sleeping yet, she was just laying with her eyes open over Diana's shoulder with her face pointed outwards looking at her mami making sure she was still close. Naya smiles and kisses her forehead knowing that's exactly what she's doing. Naya wanted her to know she wasn't going anywhere. She could already tell that she missed Heather.
Zach, Harry, and Heather came back in the tin shed opening the door that was on the other side of the huge dance space. Once they were all back in, Heather shut it softly when everybody was inside. They were on the opposite side of the shed a good fifty feet away from the other girls. Naya, Diana, and Amber saw them come in and the choreographers were about to sit on the table at the opposite end of the room when Harry caught sight of Amber waving them over. He tapped on Heather's shoulder and she looked at him before following the direction he was pointing. Naya saw the immediate smile that graced her face and she did a little bounce like a kid who just got free range at the toy store.
"Come on guys! My loves are here!" They faintly hear Heather say to Harry and Zach as the three of them make their way over to where the three girls are seated. Naya is giggling at how excited Heather is. She can't describe how amazing it feels to be the recipient of Heather's love and affection. Now their daughter gets to experience that as well. When they were only about twenty-five feet away almost halfway across the studio when the rest of the dancers filed in and sat on the table across the shed allowing the door to slam loudly.
Sophia jerks her head and lifts it as much as she can for only a two-week-old baby but immediately looks at Naya with her bottom lip puffed all the out and it's quivering. Amber and Naya are looking at her and they don't know whether to bawl right there because it's so heartbreaking or giggle a little because it's the most pitiful look either of them has ever seen. Once Diana is able to move her head to look at Sophia's face she frowns immediately trying to hold her tight and that's when she starts crying. This wasn't like her hungry or wet cries. This one was just a throaty, terrified, heartbreaking cry.
The moment that the door slammed Heather winced and looked over at her baby girl knowing it would most likely scare her. The moment she saw her daughter's lip pout out and lip quivering as tears started flowing down her eyes it was the most heartbreaking thing she had ever seen in her life. Heather took off as fast as she could and was at the table within seconds. Naya was just reaching for her when she quickly gestured for Heather to do it instead. Heather threw her wrapped sandwich on the table and Diana stood up so she could quickly pass her to Heather.
"Oh my girl, I'm so sorry that scared you, my love. Momma's got, you honey. I'm right here." Heather says soothingly as she takes the baby in her arms as Naya and the others look on and smile. Sophia must sense she's being held by Heather because her head was facing outwards and she is able to lift it just enough to let it fall to the other side and nuzzle into her momma's neck as close as she can get. Heather feels the warm air hit her neck as her daughter's cries settle until their just sniffles.
"Good girl. I've got you. I'm so sorry honey. For scaring you like that, none of those mean people will get any dessert today, ok princess?" Heather assures in a serious tone which makes the group shake their heads and smile. Heather puts her quilt over the baby again and tucks it in around her to make her feel safe and secure before sitting down next to her wife.
"Hi, beautiful! Thank you for coming to see me! Made my entire day. Although that Sophia pout was heartbreaking, wow. She's mastered the lip pout." Heather smiled but frowned at being reminded of how scared her daughter was. Naya was about to answer when Amber spoke up.
"That was freaking adorable. Don't kill me but I took a photo of her pout. I figured when she calmed down and everyone knew she was okay this would be a classic for the albums. I'm not going to lie and say I don't see Naya written all over this photo. Naya and Heather quickly motion for Amber to show them the image. Amber unlocks and opens her photos and slides the phone over to the girls who glance at the image and are somewhere between giggling and frowning. How can something be so damn adorable and heartbreaking at the same time?!
"Oh no!" Naya says covering her mouth as she looks at the photo of her pouting daughter looking absolutely pitiful. Heather is trying to suppress a giggle but goes back and forth between giggling and frowning as she holds her daughter tightly.
"Thanks, A. Please send that to us." Naya winked over at Amber and soon both of their phones were going off. "How's Soph? Is she still pouting?" Naya asked turning to her wife. Heather shook her head and twisted her upper half so they could see Sophia completely passed out with her mouth open and completely limp in her momma's arms. They all try to contain their laughter. Leave it to Sophia to go from one-hundred to zero within a minute of being in Heather's arms.
"Jesus..."Naya lets out a laugh and shakes her head at her daughter's antics. Her face completely snuggled into her momma's neck breathing in her scent. Naya and Sophia were both so comforted by Heather's embrace.
"Come here my love, I missed you so much too." Heather saws as she grips her sleeping daughter with her left arm and holds her right arm out to bring her wife into her hold letting Naya cuddle into her embrace as well. The bench on their side was up against the wall so they were able to lean back and relax. Naya kisses Heather's neck on the opposite side Sophia is currently cuddled into and lets out a sign and leans her head on her wife's should as they listen to the group chat about various things.
The group had been talking for about five minutes. Diana was on Naya's right and Amber, Zach, and Harry were on the opposite side of the picnic table. They were all continuing to chat when Harry out of nowhere pointed in Heather's direction at Naya who had fallen asleep exactly as Sophia had. Both of her girls nuzzled in her neck. Of course, Amber didn't waste any time taking another picture. This was gold. She immediately shows it to Diana who puts her hands over her mouth trying not to laugh so loud it wakes her friend and niece.
"That's priceless!" Diana says before glancing at her phone. "Shit, I have to be back on set in five. I'll see you all later!" Diana says before waving and shutting the door gently behind her.
"Alright, I need to get my girls back to the trailer. Amber, would you mind grabbing one of them for me?" Heather winks teasingly as she smiles and motions to the smaller love of her life. Amber huffs out a laugh and gets up off the bench and gently eases Sophia into her arms so settles right back down.
"I ain't carrying that one," Amber says motioning to Naya. "She's all yours. You know you could just wake her up and have her walk, right?" Amber said as if it was an obvious option. Heather cocks her head and looks at her friend like she has two heads. "Why would I make her walk when she's exhausted?" Heather said as if that were common sense. Amber shook her head holding back a giggle while Heather easily picks up her wife and cradles her against her chest.
"Harry cold you get the door for us please, just make sure you close it softly so I don't have to kill anybody else for scaring my little love," Heather said as Harry smiled and went over to the door to open it for the girls who had their arms full.
"Bye girls!" Harry said as they left.
Heather and Amber just arrived outside the trailer and Heather whispered the code to Amber who was able to enter it into the keypad and open the door. Heather followed Amber inside and motioned for her to make herself at home.
"I'm just going to tuck her in and get her all cozy in the bedroom. Would you ever be able to sit with the little miss until she wakes up? You're welcome to cuddle or lay her down somewhere. I just don't want them both to be sleeping alone with nobody else here." Heather asked her friend. Amber immediately nodded and smiled at the blonde.
"Absolutely. I still don't have to be back for like forty-five minutes. If she's not up by then I'll grab Chris to come to sit with her. Something tells me that boy won't mind." Amber jokes while shaking her head. "I won't leave them alone, don't worry. Get your skinny ass back to work!" Amber playfully scolded. Heather looks over with narrowed eyes before she smiles and shakes her head.
"Alright, A. Take care of my girls. Naya nursed her right before they came to the tin shed so she should have a full belly and be in her cuddling mood.
"Be good for your good mami Soph. Love you, baby girl... Alright let me take this beauty into the bedroom and get her settled then I'll get out of your way. Amber nodded as Heather went to the back bedroom and folded the covers down to place her wife over the sheets and under the comforter.
"You're so beautiful," Heather says as she caresses her wife's hairline and around her face with the back of her finger. "I love you so much. Get some rest love. Amber's got, Soph. If you need me just say the word and I'm here. Have a good nap, my love." Heather says as she kisses her sleeping wife on the forehead and closes the door to walk back into the main area.
"A, thank you again. Really. Like I said I have tried trust issues when it comes to my daughter and wife but it makes me completely relaxed knowing your here." Heather says as she places her hand on her daughter's back and smiles.
"Of course girl! I'm in auntie heaven right now." amber smiles.
"Help yourself to anything. The mat if you do happen to need it is in that cabinet right there along with her wipes and everything else she needs for changes. The food you won't have to worry about, the remote is on the table. I also sent the RV keypad code to your phone so you have it in the event you ever need it. If there's anything else you need that you cant find just text me anytime. You're awesome" Heather smiles petting her friend on the shoulder. Amber smiles and nods in understanding.
"Sounds good. See you soon!" amber says as Heather grins back while closing the door behind her.
About thirty-five minutes later Naya was stirring in bed and opened her eyes to see she was alone in her bed. The last place she remembers being was in the tin shed with her wife, daughter, and friends. She looks beside her and doesn't see Sophia. She knows that Heather would have had to go back to work by now. She tries to keep herself from showing that panic externally and quickly shuffles out of bed and goes to the main area to see Amber sitting in the recliner watching tv while rocking a sleeping Sophia.
"Oh hey, mami!" Amber whispers. Have a good nap sleeping beauty?"
Naya smiles at her friend and lowers herself on the couch and peeks at the baby in Amber's arms whos completely asleep.
"How long has she been asleep?" Naya asks gesturing to the newborn while covering her mouth as she yawns.
"She's been asleep since we left the tin shed. I carried Soph and Heather carried you back here. She put you in the bed before she left and asked me to stay since you were asleep and didn't feel comfortable with you both sleeping alone. I told her if you weren't awake by the time I had to leave..." Amber glances at her phone. "Which is in ten minutes I'd grab Chris to come to sit with her. I still can if you'd like me to." Amber says
"Oh no, that's fine, I'm up again. Thank you so much for staying with her. We love you, A." Naya said as she smiled and accepted the baby that Amber was handing her after giving her a soft goodbye kiss.
"You know I love it. I pretty much just inhaled that sweet baby smell. She's just...everything. I love that little girl." Amber said sincerely making Naya smile.
"Oh, I know it. That baby smell is intoxicating. Well, we love you for always being there for us, even last minute when I can't keep my eyes open." Naya says
"We all know how you sleep Nay..." Amber teases
"Shut up." Naya playfully glares back with a wink as Amber closes the door of the trailer gently.
Naya looks down at the sleepy girl in her arms and can't believe she's here on the Glee set with her daughter. She and Heather's baby girl. Everything was surreal. She couldn't wait to see where life takes them.
