Promt: Stef and Lena's unsuccessful attempt at their first time.

I own nothing, all rights belong to the Fosters.

It had been two months since that day in the parking lot where Stef had professed her love to Lena and had made the decision to be happy with herself in her new life. They had finally found a night that they could have alone. Brandon was visiting his Grandmother for the weekend and Stef had managed to get the entire weekend off.

Lena had decided to take off early on Friday to get a start on the romantic dinner she had planned for the two of them. She cleaned up the house, and with a little hope of what may happen after dinner, she lit candles and did her best to create a romantic atmosphere for the two. She then went and changed into a nice, yet comfortable outfit and got started on dinner. It was just a few minutes before Stef and Lena was finishing up her signature chicken alfredo when she heard the doorbell.

She took a minute to tidy herself and went to answer a door. When she opened the door, her breath caught in her throat when she saw the gorgeous woman standing before her holding a bottle of wine. Stef was wearing a very nice pair of jeans and an amazing teal colored button up shirt with the top few buttons undone. Her hair was down and she looked amazing. She also took a step back to look at Lena in her amazing black pencil skirt, flowing white blouse and black cardigan.

"Wow Stef, you look amazing. Please come in," Lena said as she moved to let the smaller woman through the door.

"Wow yourself, you are absolutely gorgeous," Stef said as she leaned in to kiss her girlfriend.

"I have dinner ready if you are, and I see you brought wine. I will get us some glasses and meet you at the table."

"Sounds great, it smells wonderful and I am starving," Stef said with a growing smile.

After a large meal with some wonderful conversation about the events of the day, Lena suggested retiring to the living room for some coffee. As they both sat on the couch, an award tension seemed to grow between them. Stef eventually broke the silence,"Thank you so much for tonight Lena, it was so nice to have dinner with it being just the two of us. " She then leaned in to share a very passionate kiss with her girlfriend.

"I agree, it was so nice to just spend some time together. I love being here with you Stef."

"Well, I love you Lena. You are the most amazing person I have ever known and I feel so lucky to be sitting here with you now."

"I love you too Stef," and with that, Lena kissed her again.

As the kiss grew deeper, Lena slowly pushed Stef back on the couch. Stef wrapped her arms around Lena as she positioned herself on top of Stef. As they continued, Lena's hand slowly began to wander down from her face. Stef elicited a moan as Lena's hand caressed her throat. As her hand traveled down, it had just barely reached Stef's breast before Stef jerked away.

"I am not sure if I can do this Lena," and with that Lena moved away, not wanting to pressure her new girlfriend into anything.

"Its okay Stef, I don't want to push you."

"Lena, I am so sorry, " Stef said with tears forming in her eyes. "I just don't know what I am doing and I guess I am just scared. I have never been with a woman, and I am not sure what to expect," Stef said through sobs.

With that, Lena took the blonde in her arms and kissed her softly on the head. "You have no reason to be sorry, honey. I know that you are scared and until you are ready, we can just wait. "

"Are you sure Lena, I don't want to lose you over something that I should want to do, and I really do want that. I think I may just need some time."

"Stef, you could never lose me over anything like that, okay. I love you and I am willing to take all of the time that you need."

"I love you too. Can we just snuggle for a little bit tonight?"

"Stef, why don't we put in a movie, and then you can just spend the night. We don't have to do anything tonight, but I want to be able to hold you in my arms all night."

"I would like that very much," said Stef and she sank into Lena's side.

After the movie was over, both women were completely exhausted. Lena led Stef to the bedroom to change and gave her a set of pajamas. While Stef was changing, Lena locked up and cleaned up the mess from dinner. She then went and changed herself. She walked into the bedroom and got into bed with Stef. The two women slid together and Stef placed her head on Lena's shoulder. This was the first time they had ever climbed in bed together and Stef had never felt so at home.

With a quick kiss, they both said their goodnights.

"Good night Stef, I love you."

"Good night my love, thank you so much for tonight. I finally feel like I am right where I belong."

Soon they were both sound asleep in each others arms. Although the night had not turned out as she had planned, Lena was very happy that she had been able to be there for her girlfriend and that she was comfortable enough with her to be able to tell her the truth about not being ready. She was beginning to feel as if there was a bright future for this relationship and couldn't wait to see how it would go. Plus she was extremely happy that she would get to wake up to Stef for the first time in the morning.
