"Tori, I just heard..." Trina started. She'd called to comfort her recovering sister after finding out her drunk sister had snuck into the guest bedroom to lay next to Jade. 'Apparently, you got handsy.' She thought, but kept that to herself.

"Dad's wazzed that we were all couplely, but forgave Jade when he found out I went to her." Tori said. "Me being drunk went from an offense to an excuse. I'm not sure what that's all about..." she hesitated.

"Tori, do you remember posting anything on The Slap last night?" Trina asked. At the same time, she was using Maddy's laptop to check her own account. She followed her sister, a courtesy that wasn't returned. "Um, Tori, you do know you posted a picture of Jade, in bed, with the caption 'Gonna get me some,' last night, at one fifteen A.M."

"Good, that means no one has seen them yet." Tori jumped at the chance, as slim as it was, that this wasn't going to be how the world learned of her and Jade. "Um, Trina, I kinda have a favor to ask. Could you maybe speak to Jade, let her know this wasn't my fault." Reality was seeping into her voice.

"It totally is your fault." Trina said. "But sure, have her call me just as soon as dad is done scaring the living bejebies out of her."

A few minutes later, Trina received a call from Jade. "Okay, whats up?" Jade asked.

"You do realize that drunk people do stupid tings, right?" Trina opened.

"I wasn't drunk." Jade countered. "I was just scared. That guy, he had his hand on Tori, was trying to direct her out of the party towards anywhere he could have his way with her. I had to stop him. And when he said it wasn't my business, I just..." She held her breath for a moment, before exhaling sharply, then inhaling to continue. "It slipped out. I meant to say friend, and girlfriend came out. And of course, Tori was drunk, so she acted like I just proposed. I mean, I think she was planning what colors we'd have in out wedding." There was an uncomfortable moment where Trina tried to decide on the right thing to say. "So naturally, I decked him, kicked his friend in the balls for good measure, and got Tori out of there. That's when I called you to let you know she was drunk. There's gonna be hell to pay, I know. But hay, at least it's over, it's out, and I can deal with the prejudges as it happens."

"Was dad hard on you?" Trina asked.

"God, what is it with you Vega's?" Jade shot back. "I didn't sleep with your sister, your father, or your mother while we were here. Tori needed to cuddle, and snuck into bed with me. I'm just grateful she fell asleep trying to find the latch on my sports bra. Oh yea, I sleep in a sports bra."

"Don't Sports bra's usually have fasteners?" Trina asked. "I mean, some don't, many don't, but.."

"The one I was wearing didn't." Jade clarified. "But she was too drunk to know the difference. I'm glad, cause I'm betting she took at least one picture of me in that bra."

"And posted it on the slap, with the caption you two are now a couple." Trina said. "So congratulations, your not the only one who blabbed."

Jade sighed. "I should be wazzed. I really should."

"But your not?" Trina said hopefully.

"Oh, I am, I am." Jade said, her voice almost a growl. "But I can see why she felt it was okay to post that information. No, I can forgive, but only because the girls look good in that bra."

Trina laughed, and then thanked Jade for being understanding. "Oh, I'm not being understanding. Tori is gonna have to do something to make it up to me, drunk posting pictures of me, asleep, in my underwear, for the world to see."

"Um, one question, why were you wearing a sports bra?" Trina asked.

"I found a really comfortable brand I wear to sleep in, and I keep one in my car, in case I spend the night someplace other then home." Jade explained.

"Right, one in your gym bag." Trina said.

"Oh, yea, I have one there too." Jade said. "But that one's not so comfy, cause it's designed for me to bounce around a lot more. This one, it's just minimal metal, and thats sooo conformable. Support, comfort, and I look good. Plus, it increased the odds that my lover is gonna wanna take it off, have their way with me."

"Okay, finished with this conversation." Trina said. "Give Tori my love. My sisterly, non-sexual love."

"Oh!" Jade said, "Oh, okay, you go back to having your fun time with Maddy. You're fun, non sexual, didn't have anything to sleep in, so had to borrow it from the blond who once told me she sleeps in the nude, so whatever did you wear to bed?"

Trina hung up. "Jade knows." She said.

"Jade knows what?" Maddy asked. The blond was now wearing her own bikini, and it intrigued Trina in ways she'd never been intrigued before.

'Why am I turned on, a little, by seeing her in that suit? Focus Trina, must talk to her.' Trina broke out her best smile, looking as innocent as she could, mostly because she had no idea how she should look at this moment. "Jade was teasing me about her and Tori almost sexing it up, and she figured out what we did."

"You know, Tori told me they'd already slept together." Maddy said. "Guessing that didn't come up?"

"I'm so hoping she lied." Trina groaned. "Speaking of, how do you think Jade figured out we'd done it?"

"Maybe you avoided a subject that hadn't really come up?" The taller girl guessed. "Not saying you did, cause I only caught the last part of your call, but for me, that's usually a dead giveaway. Guilt and such. So, Jade knows, which means Tori knows. Next, do we want anyone else to know. I mean, I usually don't go for girls, and yet, I'm ready to do last night all over again, if you want. I love you, what you do to me, everything."

"Wait, love?" Trina asked. "We're kinds new, as a couple. I just..."

"Sorry, thought this was established." Maddy said. "Trina, I love you. I told you that, last night. And I get it, you probably don't reciprocate the feeling, yet. But I felt it, screwing around with you. The potential is there. You can love me. You will, cause I get the feeling we just have that kind of connection, built up over our time together. So yea, I love you. Now, are we ready to tell anyone, beyond those who already know, or should we wait until you're more sure?"

"We wait." Trina announced. "Sorry, I just don't need to be dealing with too much chiz right now. Of course, we'll tell my mom when she gets here with my clothes. She was so wazzed that dad knew about Tori and Jade before she did. So we'll tell her, and let the chips fall as they may." Inside, Trina felt like her emotions were becoming a whirlpool, dragging her under beyond any hope to fight it. Her only hope was to go with the feelings, and see where she wound up when it was all over.

"So, while we wait, you wanna maybe take a shower, wash last nights activities off?" The tall girls smile said more then just a little water was going into that shower.

"You're insatiable." Trina said as she blushed.

"Funny, since I'm usually the girl who won't have sex more then twice in a night. Hell, I went to an orgy, and barely managed to get to the two time mark." The blond said. "Last night was special." She breathed, and Trina knew this was no ordinary situation.

The girls had a few hours to think about what had happened, as well as relax and enjoy each others company, before Holly arrived with Trina's clothes. They ate breakfast, delivered, then took a shower together. Trina also took that time to learn everything she could about her now girlfriend. 'Lover? Girlfriend, what do I call her?' The older girl worried, but they spoke during breakfast, and she found that she already knew a lot more about Maddy then she did the last boy she'd slept with. Plus, they got along great. 'Or we did before this whole sex thing came up. I swear, I unleashed something, cause she never looked at me like that in the past. I wonder, why did I want guys to look at me like a piece of meat? She loves so much about me, and it still feels odd, knowing I turn her on so much.' Trina pulled the robe she'd been borrowing closed a bit more.

"Sorry." Maddy said. "I didn't mean to..." The tall blond was at a loss for words.

"The thing is, I don't mind you wanting me." Trina said, vocalizing her thoughts. "I like that. I love that you enjoy our being together. I just feel, I don't know, that you just want sex from me now. I feel like a piece of meat."

"Yea, I've been there." Maddy admitted. "It's just, I want all of you, and the physical stuff, it's coming along nicely. I wanna practice the fun stuff."

Maddy had been on her laptop, doing whatever. Trina had been allowed, encouraged, to spend some time on line, but since the former model only had the one computer, Trina had limited herself to checking her email and the slap.

"I get it." Trina said, trying not to encourage the blond too much. "I love what you do to me. It's just, I don't want this to be just about lust."

"And yet, at the same time, your hoping it's more about curiosity, right?" Maddy accused.

"Is that why we're all over each other?" Trina asked the girl. "Your worried that I'll get done, decide I'm finished, and go back to lusting after boys?"

"Not exactly." The other girl said, looking down. "I realized, this is odd for you. I got lucky, your a bit gay for me. But that doesn't make my life easier. Now, I have to worry about both the hot guys, and the hot girls. I hate that, knowing I could lose you at any moment. So I guess, in addition to my lust, my needs, and hell, the simple fact that this works, I may want to imprint on your mind the idea that I'm the guy for you. Just, you know, with the double D's." A sly smile crossed her face as her breasts, barely contained under her top, pushed forward, adding strain to the flimsy material used to hide her assets.

Trina sighed. "Are all girls this needy?" She asked the sky.

"No, some are high maintenance." Maddy joked, stepping closer to pull the shorter girl into a tight embrace.

"Well stop it." Trina ordered. "You've already won. This," She gestured along her body, "And this," She pointed to her head, "Are yours. Just don't hurt me, cause I'm not sure I have a clue how to proceed from here."

A call from downstairs let her know her time hiding under the robes were coming to an end. "Mom's here with my clothes." She told Maddy.

A short time later, there was a knock on the door. Trina opened it to find a devilry man holding a box. "Sign here." The man said. Trina signed, since Maddy was in the other room, doing who knows what. "Here you go."

The delivery was a wrapped box with her name on it, rectangular, maybe a foot long by four inches square. Not sure what to do, she called for her lover. "Maddy, whats in this box?"

"Not sure. Why don't you open it?" The blond called back. Trina pulled the package open to find a box marked 'Feeldo, seven inches long', in her hands. The dildo in the picture was bright blue, showing the object in it's entirety, as well as a listing of what was in the box. Trina barely had a chance to read it before there was a second knock at the door.

"Ug, what else did you order, a sex swing?" Trina asked as she yanked the door open, still holding the brand new Feeldo in her hand, still in it's packaging.

Holly was standing there, on the other side of the door, with an overnight bag in her hands. The mother stared, for a moment, before saying "Sorry, that wasn't on your list of what to bring." The woman gave her daughter a moment to be embarrassed. "You know, there are more subtle ways of telling your mother your involved with a woman."

"Holly, right?" Maddy asked as she approached from behind Trina. "Look, since we're both dressed, maybe you'd like to come in, talk a bit?"

"So I'm lucky I caught you dressed, is that it?" The mother asked.

"No, I meant that, I don't want this to be any more uncomfortable then it already is." The tall girl tried again, obviously shaken.

"Then you shouldn't wear it so tight." Holly said, pointing to the bikini top that was showing, since Maddy'd chosen to wear a see through robe.

"MOM!" Trina screeched, now certain her mother had crossed whatever lines were appropriate for this sort of situation.

"Trina, relax." Holly said, chuckling. "I had the entire drive over here to figure this out. Plus, I overheard Jade trying to explain to Tori what happened. My poor baby, she wanted to march over here and make sure her big sister was all right. Jade assured her, and indirectly me, that you, Madeline, weren't going to force my girl to do anything she didn't want to do. I had the whole drive over to figure the rest out." She raised an eyebrow. "I take it this wasn't planned?"

"All I was hoping for was maybe a kiss, if I got lucky." Maddy said. "Something to let me know she cared, or at least was open to the idea."

"Yea, looks like you got lucky." Holly said, taking the Feeldo out of Trina's hand. "This looks new."

"I never had a girlfriend before." Maddy admitted. "I just, I.." The two Vega women got to see what amounted to a full body blush from the suddenly shy ex model.

"Look, I don't want you two getting the idea this is okay." The mother said. "But in this case, both David and I feel that things probably happened for a reason. So, why don't you join us for dinner? Say tomorrow night?" She looked at Maddy, smiling her most disarming smile.

"Dinner with the family, that would be lovely." Maddy agreed, sighing.

"Great, we're having Jade over tonight, so tomorrow we can give you our full attention. Maybe find out where your parents are in all of this?" Holly said before wishing them a good day, and leaving.

"Looking forward to it." Maddy called out. As soon as she was sure Holly was in the elevator, she closed the door and took the Feeldo out of Trina's hand. "Your mother seemed nice." Trina nodded. "And your dad's a cop?" Another nod. "With a gun?" She didn't wait for a response before reaching for the Latina's hand. "Come, we're breaking this bad boy in. If I might die tomorrow, you're not walking."

Trina found it oddly comforting that they were able to have sex, several times, before the impending family dinner. Between desperation sessions, where they left one another sweaty and spent, Trina sent a text to her friends to find out how their dates went.

Trina (From Margo): Total bust. The guys were cute enough, and I think Reba found study buddy for school, but no spark. Cindy was wazzed.

Margo (From Trina): No luck for anyone? Tell me about Reba's studly buddy. Maybe they've found some fun ways to relax after a long study session?

Trina (From Margo): It's like they were long lost siblings. Got along great, but they just didn't have anything more then their shared interests.

Trina (From Margo): Cindy's guy looked interested. But I already hate him. I think he's more of a user then a long term relationship.

Trina (From Margo): You know I'm protective of my friends. That goth psychopath, can you have her on standby, just in case we need someone maimed?

Margo (From Trina): That bad, huh? I'll keep an eye out, and have Jade, the psychopath, ready as possible to help out. She's nailing my sister.

Trina (From Margo): Nailing? So it's serious?

Margo (From Trina): Looks like. Jade's actually becoming someone I wouldn't mind having as a sister in law.

Margo (From Trina): I may have found someone. Not gonna go into it until I know for certain. Not gonna jinx it. But yea, I may have someone.

Trina (From Margo): Good for you. Hope your guy is better then Cindy's feels. I like Jax, Kinda trust him, but not this jerk.

Margo (From Trina): I'll stay ready. You help keep an eye on her, and let me know what I can do. Hope things work out for her, and all of us.

Trina (From Margo): Ditto.

Trina (From Margo): Think I should go lesbian? It seemed to work for Tori.

Margo (From Trina): Don't give up on the guys yet. That is, unless you meet a girl and she sets your loins on fire. Like Jade does for Tori.

Trina (From Margo): I miss having that feeling. Wonder if I'll ever feel that again?

Margo (From Trina): You will. You all will. Just give it time.

Trina also heard from the others, and seemed happy for them. But that didn't change the fact that her weekend with Maddy had become muddled in unexpected lust, deep emotional connections that only seemed to be growing stronger, and sexual exploration acting as the catalyst for the latter while being the release for the former.

Trina made it home just a short while before Maddy was due to show up for dinner. She needed to know just what her girlfriend was in for, scout out any possible problems. Her parents seemed calm, despite her basically spending the weekend with her lover as a form of first date.

"Trina, you're home." Holly greeted. "Is Maddy with you?'

"Maddy's gonna show up in a bit." Trina replied. "I just, I don't know, I wanted to be ready. I guess this whole Maddy things happened so fast, and I wanted to find out if everything was okay." Nervous eyes scanned her mothers face for any sign of where she stood in the family.

"Baby, we're good." Holly said, offering her eldest an open hug. "Your dad and I, we both worry. We want whats best for you, so we worry about the choices you make. I admit, when we found out what you two were doing, it threw us. But it's not like you shacked up with a stranger. You've known this girl for a while now. It just got crazy, fast. So, after some deliberation, we decided to trust you, and be there if things went bad. Tonight, it's about meeting your girl, and figuring out where everyone goes from here.

Trina felt tears threatening to flow. "Thanks mom." She said, holding her mother tighter. After a moment, she detached, and sought out her sister. Trina detoured long enough to say high to her dad, and receive another hug. But from there it was straight up to Tori's room.

"So, sis, how'd it go?" Trina opened.

"Trina, you're home!" Tori said, launching her own hug onto her sister. "Last night was crazy. Mom and dad made Jade cry. The questions, the way they looked at what happened, her, it was just all too much for her. She broke down completely, even with me comforting her. It was so intense, she got so emotional, that by the time we were ready for her to go home, she was in no condition to drive. I had to get Beck, of all people, to drive her home. They recovered her car just a little bit ago." Tori smiled. "So, your girl ready for this?"

"I thought so." Trina replied.

"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition." Tori said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Thank dad for us knowing that line at all." Trina mock scolded her sister. Their father had made sure his daughters saw a LOT of Monty Python, enough to understand many of the jokes his friends used to make when Tori and Trina were little. "So, it was that bad?"

"Well, they did already know Jade." Tori said. "I'm left wondering what kind of grilling Maddy's gonna get. I mean, this just happened, and you spent the weekend with her."

Trina took a deep breath. "I'd better warn her."

"No, Jade faced it unprepared, your girl can face it to." Tori insisted, her face stone.

"Sis, I have to warn her, let her know this isn't gonna be easy." Trina said. "Give her an out."

"You do that." Tori agreed, but it was obvious that the younger girl wanted Trina to go through the same kind of evening as she had just the night before.

Maddy showed up about an hour later, ready for dinner and whatever interrogation she may be facing. Holly was finishing up in the kitchen, and David was working in his study, allowing Trina to be the one to open the door. Stepping outside, Trina gave her girl a quick hug, then stepped back to ask a very important question.

"Maddy, did you get my text?" Trina asked.

"Yea, but I figured I'd have to face this, sooner or later." A shrug and a sigh followed. "Might as well get it over with." The blond smiled, only for her worry to burn through. "So, you think they'll hate me?"

"I'd say they are warm accepting people, but they made Jade West cry." Trina warned. "I swear, there was a time I'd have believed she couldn't cry, or if she did, it was like a crocodile. You know, all fake."

"I once heard that the phrase comes from the belief that crocodiles shed tears while feeding. It turned out, they do so to help lubricate the eyes, and feeding caused a similar reaction. Just, not in all crocodiles." The statuesque blond said. "Sorry, I wanna come across as smart." A nervous smile. "You know, so they'll think I'm good enough for you."

"Maddy, please come in." Tori said, letting everyone know she'd arrived. "Please, the both of you, come in, come in."

:}

Okay, that had to be the easiest way to come out to one's parents, right? Like, everyone just figures things out, almost before you do, and so they're ready when you finally realize it. Or, maybe Tori just made it easier for Trina to be with a girl. Either way, Trina has dinner with her parents to look forward too. Haw hard could that be.

I suspect Trina needed the passion to help her realize that Maddy wasn't just a friend, but the woman she was gonna love. So, the feelings, they came out, drove Trina to take some risks, and now she has someone special who will support her in the future.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and enjoyed this far. I can see the end of the road now, down the ways a bit. Still, at least one more point to be made before I try an epilogue. Lets finish this ride together.
