EPILOGUE
Laura woke up with something heavy draped all over her. It took her a short while to realize that it was Taylor's arm wrapped around her waist and her legs tangled with hers. She smiled as she felt her girlfriend's warm breathe on her neck, her whole body almost on top of hers. She sighed contentedly as the scent of her hair hit her and it was the best smell there was. She gently kissed the top of her head, not wanting to wake her.
It was their first day on their new home and she already felt like they'd been here for a really long time. But then again, she knew that it was really not the place that made her feel at home but the beautiful blonde beside her. This thought made her wrap her arms tighter around Taylor, wanting to feel her closer even if you could barely drop a paper between them.
They actually arrived here the previous night but were both so exhausted with their last-minute shenanigans, decorating the house, fixing those things that needed to be fixed, that they have both fallen asleep without even acknowledging the fact that they were already settled on the place that they could call home.
She stayed still for a while, rubbing Taylor's back soothingly, enjoying the peace and comfort that this was making her feel. Few minutes later, she felt Taylor stir and mumble something muffled by her own neck. "Okay, maybe you can try that again in a normal language now, babe," she said, chuckling slightly.
Taylor slowly pried herself away from the brunette just far enough to look at her. "I said, why are you up so early?" Taylor said with her eyes still half-shut, trying to adjust to the room's brightness.
Laura wondered how, after all their months together and all those times they woke up beside each other, Taylor was still able to make her feel this way whenever she would see her the first time in the morning. The blonde's hair was disheveled and it was sticking out everywhere and her eyes were puffy and all but all she could make out from this was how gorgeous her girlfriend looked in the morning. After all this time, she could still feel her heart race a lot faster than it normally did just by looking at her. She still found Taylor the most beautiful woman to ever exist on this planet and she was sure she would rather stare at her all day than go out and see the rest of the world. This person right in front of her was her world and she'd be crazy to trade her for anything else.
"Well, how can I stay asleep when there's a monstrous creature draped all over me? I don't think I can still feel my ass. God, you're heavy," she said jokingly earning her a quite violent response.
"Hey!" Taylor smacked Laura's arm a little more harshly than she intended to and she saw her girlfriend wince in pain. "Oh my gosh babe, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hit that hard." She sat up immediately, checking where she hit Laura and she silently cursed herself as it was now burning red.
The pain immediately went away as soon as it came but seeing Taylor's reaction made Laura's heart swell so she wanted to stretch this out a little longer. "Ouch, I didn't know you could be so abusive," she faked a pained look and she could see Taylor's eyes fill with worry.
"I'm sorry. Where does it hurt?" she tried rubbing the reddish part on Laura's skin, hoping its color would go back to normal but it wouldn't. Laura's skin was so pale and a bit sensitive to everything she should've known not to hit her, albeit jokingly.
"Here," Laura pointed to where she could supposedly feel the pain and she almost grinned because Taylor still couldn't get that she was just messing with her. She found her so adorable with that slightly panicked look on her face she could kiss her right there. But no, she wasn't done playing games just yet.
"I'm sorry, baby." Taylor hunched down a little to pepper little kisses on Laura's arm, the part where she hit, all the while mumbling her apologies. "I'm sorry. Does it still hurt?" She didn't wait for Laura to respond as she kept on kissing her arm, this time making her way upwards until she'd already reached the crook of her neck.
"Hmmm, I feel so much better now," answered Laura, closing her eyes shut, enjoying the feeling of her girlfriend's lips on her neck. "I was just messing with you, by the way."
"You bitch!" Taylor said as she smacked her arm again as Laura laughed at her.
-o-o-o-
The couple went out of their room a few minutes later, finally able to take in their new place. Looking around the house finally all set, Taylor couldn't help but sigh in contentment with how the whole place turned out. It was painted with white while all the furniture inside gave out the beautiful contrast of being black. Nothing felt out of place and everything seemed perfect. After giving her new home one last look, she now looked at the beautiful brunette seated on one of the couches just nearby and her heart started racing when she was her staring at her, her face etched with a wonderful, sweet smile.
They had breakfast after a while, something Laura prepared for both of them, making Taylor as happy as a clam. They talked about everything, letting each other know about their previous day, right before they went here. They talked about their future works, everything in store for them. They went with their day just like any other day they would back when they would stay over each other's houses, except this time, with the knowledge that they didn't need to go anywhere else because they were right where they should be.
-o-o-o-
"So, what's our agenda for today?" asked Taylor, while she was sprawled on their couch, her head on Laura's lap. The brunette was on her phone, having another one of those Twitter sprees as she liked to call it, probably the reason why seconds had passed and she still hadn't answered. "Hello?"
"Hmm?" was the only response Taylor got from her girlfriend. She knew Laura had been doing this a lot these past couple of months. Whenever she had free time, she would grab her phone and just reply to fans' tweets as long as she could, saying this is one of the very few ways she could give back to them for the support they'd been giving her for the longest time now. But she had never been with Laura physically during those times and this was the first time she was seeing her do this.
"Wow, I never thought I'd ever experience the day when you would ignore me," she sat up, amused by how focused Laura was on her phone. She looked at her intently, typing furiously. Taylor hated the fact that Laura was ignoring her, for the first time in a really long time, so she grabbed the phone from her hand, successfully getting her attention, finally.
"Hey!" Laura immediately looked at Taylor, confused as to why her phone was suddenly snatched out of her hand. "I was using that."
"Yeah, didn't fail to notice," answered Taylor with her forehead creased, and her arms crossed in front of her. "You were ignoring me!" she added, and pouted like a little kid.
Laura chuckled at the silliness of her girlfriend. "Babe, I was just replying to some of the fans' tweets."
"Yeah, well maybe now, it's time to reply to your girlfriend's question, yeah?"
Laura smirked and raised her eyebrows with that smug look only the person who played Alex Vause could pull. "Is my girlfriend getting jealous of people I probably haven't even met?"
Taylor huffed, giving Laura an 'Are-you-kidding-me' look. "Jealous? Sweetheart, have you forgotten that I don't get jealous?"
Laura bit the side of her cheek, keeping herself from laughing, "Oh, right. You never get jealous. So that time when I was talking to Chris on the phone and you slammed the door on my face, that wasn't jealousy. Or! That time when I was having an uncontrollable fit with Natasha and you ignored me for almost the who—"
"Okay, you can shut up now. I got your point." Taylor cut Laura off by putting her hand over her mouth while the latter started laughing so hard, trying to pry the blonde's hand away from her mouth. Taylor had begun laughing, too, and soon enough they were already wrestling against each other on the couch, their laughter resonating inside their house.
They went on like that for a while, until someone rung their doorbell. At first they didn't notice it but the moment they did, they immediately stopped, looking at each other as if Christmas had arrived.
"Our first visitor!" they said in unison, jumping out of the couch at the same time then running towards the door together. They were grinning like idiots, knowing how much they're acting like kids. But these kinds of things, their simple joys, they're one of those things that were making their relationship work and they loved every second of it.
"Do you wanna do the honors?" asked Laura as she motioned her hands to the door handle, asking Taylor if she wanted to open the door herself.
But Taylor shook her head as she said, "No. Together."
And so they did. They opened the door and welcomed their guest with possibly the biggest and yet creepiest smiles they could muster. "Welcome to Casa Prepon-Schilling!" they again said together, laughing uncontrollably afterwards, seeing the look on their first visitor.
"Are you both high or something?" asked Natasha as she walked inside the house without waiting for her two friends to invite her in.
"Oh, please come on in. We wouldn't want you to be waiting outside for so long," said Laura as Natasha helped herself to one of their couches, Taylor laughing at her.
"Are you kidding me? You took so long to open the door. I know your house is huge, but I could hear you laughing like insane people in here from outside so you shouldn't have been too far up inside this mansion."
"You want anything?" asked Taylor as she made her way towards their kitchen. But she was stopped in her tracks when Laura called out to her.
"Oh, hey babe?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember earlier when you asked me what our agenda for today was?"
"Yes? But I think it's too late for that answer now, don't you think?"
Laura chuckled. "Uhm, I think so, too. Because the agenda was supposed to be 'Buy groceries.'" She looked apologetically at Natasha for the lack, or absence, of food they could offer.
"Seriously? I'm starving!"
Taylor went back to the living room, shaking her head. "What, did you just come here to eat?"
"No, but I can at least eat something. Ahhh, never mind. I'm not gonna stay long anyway. I just came to see your humble abode... which is not very humble as I can clearly see." Natasha looked around, amazed by how beautiful the place had turned out. She'd only seen this place once, just right after Taylor and Laura bought it and the way it looked before couldn't even compare to how it looked now. "Are you planning to have a dozen of children? Because this place would still look huge despite that kind of number."
"Well, not a dozen... more like ten," answered Laura.
"What?!" a shocked Taylor looked at Laura with wide eyes, surprised with what came out of her girlfriend's mouth. Without any surprise though, both Laura and Natasha laughed at this. So she grabbed two pillows and chucked each of them to her girlfriend and friend. "Shut up, you two. I can barely handle you both."
"Okay fine. Just five then?" asked Laura, her face too serious, making Taylor almost believe her, until she broke out into a loud laughter again. "Oh, you are so gullible sometimes."
"Yeah, you like that don't you?" said Taylor, now laughing, too.
"Oh believe me, babe, I do."
All the while, Natasha just looked at her two friends exchange words, not being able to stop laughing and hitting each other while doing so. They were now so far from those two people who had profusely and desperately tried to ignore each other more than a year ago. They weren't those people who refused to speak about their problems anymore, who let their emotions cloud their judgments.
They were now these two people who could barely stand to be away from each other for thirty minutes. They had become that couple who hated not talking about what they really felt because they knew that it was the only way they couldn't screw this up again, to communicate properly. For the last 11 months that they'd been together, she had seen them grow into this more mature couple, more understanding, more loving couple and she could see just how much happier they'd become.
And she couldn't help but feel grateful because she was one of those very few people who could witness this kind of love. The one where there weren't any pretenses, just pure and insurmountable kind of love you could feel the love radiate from them whenever they're around. Taylor and Laura were so far from being the perfect couple. They also had flaws but what's great about them was that they embraced those flaws and turned them into something that made them love each other more. And they loved each other so deeply that it could make anyone want to find a love like that as well.
"You two are gross," she said when Taylor and Laura started whispering on each other's ears, giggling like school girls while doing so, as if they didn't have any company. "It's one thing to listen to you banter all day but to see you make out in front of me? That's just too much, man."
"What?" said Laura, chuckling. "We're not making out."
"Not making out? You're almost tearing her ear off with your mouth!" Natasha said, shaking her head, but not without a smile on her face.
Natasha stayed for another hour, just talking and laughing with Taylor and Laura, until she stood up and announced that she had to go. "As much as I'd like to see this make out session turn into a very sophisticated and hot adult film, I gotta get going. When are you having your housewarming party?"
"This Saturday," answered Taylor, her arm wrapped on Laura's waist. "And you're not invited."
"All right, I'm gonna have a party to crash on Saturday then," Natasha said as she made her way to the door, followed by her two friends, linked to each other like some conjoined twins. "Bye not-lesbians," she said using her Orange Is The New Black's character's famous words, as Laura opened the door for her.
"Bye Tasho, glad you could come. Sorry we didn't have anything to eat," the raven-haired said.
"Oh, it's all right. I understand. You didn't have to buy anything else to eat because you already have each other for that," she said one last time before she went out of the house towards her car, listening to Taylor and Laura laugh at her words.
-o-o-o-
When they got back inside, Taylor disentangled herself from Laura and went to the bathroom. When she went back out, she stopped in her place to look at her girlfriend, who was now sitting on one of their couches, smiling at a book she was reading. Taylor couldn't help but smile at the sight, still couldn't quite believe that this beautiful person was hers and that she loved her the same way Taylor did.
She slowly made her way to Laura, still unable to keep herself smiling like an idiot and sat next to her. Her girlfriend immediately wrapped her arm around her as Taylor pushed herself closer to the brunette, leaning her head on her shoulder. "Is it just me or this place looks so perfect to you, too?" she asked as Laura nuzzled her face on her hair, sighing in contentment as she took in the scent of her beautiful girlfriend.
"It is perfect, babe. Even more so because I'm sharing it with you."
This time, Taylor looked up at her and Laura brought her face closer to hers as she kissed her sweetly. Taylor smiled into the kiss feeling happier than she'd ever felt. Her mind raced back to that day, when their lives took another turn, and up until now, the memory still made her chest swell out of bliss.
"I know you might think it's too soon, but I just hate it every time I have to see you leave. I... I want to be with you every minute that I can, Tay. I love being with you... so much, it hurts. Do you wanna move in with me?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"I said yes. I wanna move in with you."
She still couldn't help but smile at the thought of Laura's face when she said yes. The way her face broke out into a shock and lit up both at the same time was so adorable she couldn't help but chuckle a little recalling it. Laura looked at her, with wonder in her eyes on why she just chuckled out of nowhere but she just kissed her again.
"Oh my gosh, we're really doing this?"
"Yes, baby. Yes, we are."
There were a lot of times in her life when she felt so much joy, just like the first time she and her mom hugged after they've worked things out between them, or that moment she found out she was nominated for an Emmy, or that time she and Laura got back together. But at that time, it was more than just pure joy. It was all kinds of emotions, happiness, excitement, gratefulness, a little fear maybe, all wrapped together into her whole being at that time.
And then just when she thought that was it, that that was what was gonna make her day, Laura did another thing that almost made her heart stop. She looked at the ring perfectly wrapped around her finger and she knew then that this, what she had with Laura, this was something that she knew she'd never want to ever lose again.
Laura noticed how she looked at the ring and took her hand into her own then examined it, too. It had been more than a month since she gave Taylor that ring and she still couldn't believe that this woman in front of her was someone she could call hers. She was the most beautiful, most kind-hearted, smartest and funniest person she knew and knowing that this person felt the same thing she felt towards her was something that made her love life so much more.
After asking Taylor to move in with her, everything just fell into place so quickly. They both decided to sell their New York homes and bought one that they could both call theirs. It was amazing how fast they found a place perfect for both of them, something they both knew they'd love. They also didn't take their time renovating the place, working on it as soon as they could to make it even more perfect than it already was and even they were surprised how little time it took for the whole place to be finally called home.
And now they were both here, happy and contented, knowing so damn well that everything would just get even better from here on.
Laura then took Taylor's hand and brought it to her lips, placing a soft kiss on it. She then looked into Taylor's eyes and choked back tears as she saw so much love from those beautiful orbs. They screamed happiness and contentment, as if a reflection of what exactly she was feeling at the moment. "Are you happy?" she asked, wanting to confirm her thoughts from Taylor's own mouth.
"More than I thought was humanly possible, babe," answered Taylor, not knowing how else she could put into words how happy she was feeling at the moment.
She and Laura had been through a lot. She had already even come to the point where she knew it was over for them for good. At first, no matter how much it hurt, she still hoped that one day she and Laura were going to find a way to make it work. That somehow, through all the bullshit they had gone through, they would still end up together. And that went on for a while. Even when she tried so hard to make herself believe that she hated her. Even when she found out that Laura had started dating again. Even when they've both chosen to become friends with benefits. She still held on.
All of that only went away after they'd decided to stop being fuck buddies. That's when she'd accepted that it was really over for them, that there was no point in her waiting for something that would never come anyway. So she decided to date another guy and silently prayed that he was it, he was gonna be the one who would make her forget about the only woman she'd ever fallen in love with.
But she should've known better. Because not only was Laura the only woman she'd ever fallen in love with, she was also the person she had ever fallen in love with that much. So she broke up with him and chose to stop fooling herself that she was ever going to forget about her and prayed to a god she didn't even believed in that she could manage to live her life like this, knowing she would never get to be with Laura again.
And then when she thought that it was how her life was always going to be, pinning for the person who would never fall in love with her again, Laura did all those things and admitted to her that all those times, she had never fallen out of love with her, too. It had easily become the best day of her life, until of course she and Laura started making new memories again, making her realize that her best day was always going to be whatever day it was until the next morning comes again, taking the title from the previous day.
But that day, when she and Laura got back together, that had become the beginning of their second chance. So far, they had been together for almost eleven months and everything still went as smoothly as any great relationship could be. Sure, they fought here and there, as any normal couples went thru but this time around, they never let a fight go beyond a day, always making sure they'd talk about it before the day ended. There were no more secrets; all of their fears were laid on the table, all their doubts. They'd both gone through so much apart and they weren't stupid enough to let that happen once again.
They brought their lips together again, crashing them together. They were still amazed with how perfect they fit together as both their hands started wondering on each other's bodies. Their kiss, which started slow and sweet, was now becoming more urgent each of them wanting to feel so much more. Laura traced Taylor's bottom lip with her tongue, and Taylor opened her mouth, allowing her the entrance she was begging for. For a while, their tongues danced together in a perfect harmony and both moaned at the pleasure consuming their bodies.
"Time to christen the place, I believe?" Laura asked teasingly, when their lips parted for a while, both catching their breaths.
Taylor just brought their lips back together as she nodded, smiling into the kiss, as she took Laura's hand when she stood and made her way to their bedroom. Out of all the places in their home, this was, unsurprisingly, Taylor's favourite. It took them the longest time to finally settle on how they wanted the place was going to be. But every fight they had over how they were going to decorate the room was worth it because now, it was astonishingly beautiful and she could live inside this room forever as long as Laura was with her.
Taylor laid down, taking Laura with her as they resumed kissing and running their hands all over each other. Her girlfriend started kissing her way to her jaw, making a trail of kisses towards her ear as she softly whispered, "I love you," sending shivers down Taylor's spine. The words were good enough to make her melt but add Laura's beautiful, raspy voice and she knew she was done for.
Laura slightly bit on Taylor's ear making her moan. It had always been one of her erogenous zones and Taylor knew that her girlfriend would use that to her advantage. She knew how much that turned her on so she kept biting slightly until she let out her tongue and skimmed at Taylor's weak spot. The brunette then kissed her all the way down to her neck, nipping and licking, and it was enough to make her moan even louder, squirming underneath her gorgeous girlfriend out of pleasure.
Laura then decided that they were wearing too much clothes so she grasped the end of Taylor's shirt as she took it over her head, doing the same thing to herself before she went back to kissing her girlfriend all over her body again. Taylor noticed how she smiled a little because she wasn't wearing a bra and she brought her hand to one of her breasts, cupping it, loving how perfectly it fit her hand. She then brought her mouth on Taylor's other breast, playing with her nipple with her tongue. Taylor arched her back as she held on Laura's hair bringing her even closer to her.
Taylor knew her underwear was now ruined and the need inside her was piling up more quickly than she thought it would. Suddenly, Laura's tongue and hands over her weren't enough anymore. She needed to feel her inside her, and she needed it now. But she knew that Laura wanted to take her time so she clenched her legs together, trying desperately to make this last a little bit longer.
The things Laura's tongue was doing to her nipples were driving her crazy. Her one arm was secured on Laura's head, making sure it stayed where it was while her other hand grasped tightly on the sheets as pleasure shot through her, painfully and oh so deliciously both at the same time.
Laura then kissed her way from the center of Taylor's breasts down to her toned belly, her one hand never leaving Taylor's breast. She then slid Taylor's shorts down, bringing her underwear with it as she kissed her just above her center, making Taylor gasp. "Baby..." she moaned, knowing that she couldn't contain her need any longer. "Please," she begged.
Laura made her way up to kiss Taylor's lips. "Tell me what you want," her voice an octave lower and Taylor knew right then that she would do just about anything Laura would tell her to do using that voice. It was pure sex and she thought she could cum just at the sound of it.
"You. Inside me. Right fucking now." It was barely a whisper but she was glad that it was enough for Laura to go back down, leaving wet kisses on her way. When she was right where Taylor wanted her to, the brunette took one of Taylor's legs bringing it over her shoulder. She kissed and licked everywhere except where Taylor wanted her to and the blonde knew she would go crazy if Laura kept this on. "Jesus Laura, you're driving me fucking crazy. Just fuck me already. Please, baby."
She felt Laura chuckle as she finally brought her lips to her clit, and the vibrations it made drove Taylor wild, almost pulling at her girlfriends beautiful black locks. Laura's tongue swiped over her clit, up and down, and Taylor couldn't stop the moans come out of her mouth. And then without a warning, Laura plunged two fingers inside her and it was enough to bring Taylor almost to the edge. "Fuck, baby."
It was slow at first, the gorgeous brunette taking her time to pull her fingers in and out of her so torturously slow, while her tongue kept doing magic on her clit. Taylor shut her eyes, unsure whether she could still handle everything she was feeling at the moment.
Noticing how Taylor was almost shaking had spurred Laura on even more as she decided to finally keep her pace up, plunging in and out of Taylor faster, bringing her girlfriend even more deeper at the pleasure consuming her. She added another finger, making the beautiful blonde scream her name.
"Lauraaaaaa. Fuck baby, don't stop." Taylor knew she was close, and she held on to anything she could hold on to, hoping it could keep her from shattering into pieces as her climax neared. Laura was relentless, hitting her g-spot over and over again. She kept the pace of her fingers as she brought herself up to kiss Taylor on the lips, making her taste her own self. As if that wasn't enough, Laura spoke, "Cum for me, baby."
And it was the last thing that Taylor needed before she let herself go. She shook and writhed beneath Laura's touch, screaming and moaning, feeling herself shatter, but in a definitely good way. She rode the waves of sensation shooting through her, the intensity of it enough to make her weak. She was brought into a world full of pure bliss as she rode out her orgasm, her girlfriend whispering into her ear. "I got you, babe."
Laura then slowed down her fingers, kissing Taylor as she did so, feeling her girlfriend slowly come down from her mind-blowing orgasm. When she felt her relax under her, she pulled out her fingers, licking them one by one, causing Taylor to moan yet again. They looked into each other's eyes, and smiled as they brought their lips back together.
Laura kissed Taylor with so much love, proving to Taylor once again that it wasn't exactly where they were that made this place perfect. It was Laura with her in it, and her love for her that made her heart ache in an excruciatingly beautiful way. Laura tore her lips from her and looked into her eyes once more as she spoke in the most loving voice Taylor had ever heard.
"Welcome home, baby."

You're one of my favourite reviewers because you're really insightful and some of your reviews make me think, in a good way, of course. So hope to still hear from you! =)
I3VauseMan, Hi there! Thank you for that awesome review. But I'm sorry if there's no 'talk' about that marriage and family thing. Because the way I was thinking when I wrote that fear thing, it wasn't really about the whole getting married and having children that scared Laura. It was 'fear' in general of the things she had no control over that made her kind of back away from Taylor. So I hope that clear things up a bit, but I'm sorry for that little hitch. Your reviews make me blush. Lol. I hope I'd still receive reviews from you through Shattered because I'd be really sad if you don't anymore. You're too wonderful! Thanks again, sweet thing =)
Gabi, Aww, it really makes me so happy that you said that. Coz I was kind of worried that you guys would be disappointed with how I decided to end things and knowing that you're actually satisfied by it is just so awesome and amazing and everything. Haha. And yes, I will never stop writing. I love doing this so much. I heart you, too, bae. 3 =)
tash, Here's the epilogue, yey! So thank you for all the reviews you left for this story. I always get excited when you do. I don't know. I think it kind of has something to do with your name, which reminds me a lot of Natasha Lyonne. It's weird, I know. But I'm crazy over that woman lol. Thanks again and hope you like this one.
So there! We have finally reached the last chapter of this story and I seriously can't thank you enough for the love you've given me and this fic. I honestly posted this just for the sake of it not thinking that it was gonna be received this well. Thanks for all the reviews you've left, they really make my day. And also to everyone who has read but has not left a review, I also want to thank you for reading, it means so much to me =) I've met so many wonderful people through this story and that really makes me happy. Until the next ride, loves! Thank you!
