Caroline woke in a cold sweat reliving the screaming match she had with her mother, but in her dream she had been a fifteen year old school girl. She could remember the dream so well it felt almost real, the image of her mother screaming at her and her father refusing to look at her. She woke startled she didn't want to care what her mum thought, but it did matter and yes she loved Kate and wouldn't let her mum stand her way. But she couldn't entirely pretend her harsh words hadn't hurt her feelings, shed spent her whole life looking for approval, desperate to keep the peace not to disappoint. She had denied herself who she was had been unhappy much of the time and yet that never seemed to be enough for her mum.
Kate snuggled into her still half a sleep, "are you ok, you didn't sleep very well" she whispered nuzzling Into her neck. Caroline felt her hairs stand on end at the mere presence of her, she could feel Kate's naked breasts against her back and couldn't supress the smile that grew across her face.
"Morning" she turned to face Kate, who was now watching her intently, "yes I'm ok just my mother haunting my sub-concious, and I've got to face the boys today. What time is it I think Gillian will be bringing them back around 11", Kate looked at her watch "it's half 9 so don't panic". Caroline closed her eyes trying to take in the perfectness of just the two of them no outside influences to ruin their happiness. Caroline felt Kate's hand trace delicately through her hair trailing down her cheek to her chin lifting it and letting her lips meet her own.
Caroline sank into the kiss before half falling out of the bed "what" Kate looked at her worriedly, "your hands are freezing" she said seriously staring at Kate and both bursting into fits of laughter.
Caroline had spent an hour getting dressed, as Kate had been very unhelpful her roaming hands distracting, trying to remove each item of clothing she had previous placed on her body. "Kate!" She cried exasperated "yes" Kate smiled innocently "as much I'd love to spent the morning between your thighs, I've got the serious topic of talking to the boys this morning. So your not helping" she reprimanded playfully, "sorry" Kate apologized watching a smile flash across Caroline's pale face. "Don't be sorry, just later ok" Caroline winked opening the bedroom door and disappearing.
Caroline sat at the kitchen table tapping her fingers against the wooden surface nervously, she had spoken to Gillian an hour ago who said they were leaving any minute. She hadn't been overly helpful at keeping Caroline un flustered as she had questioned her to an inch of it being out right pornographic, on details about her and Kate's evening alone.
Her reasoning behind it being she wasn't getting any and well, she was jealous. "So come on dish the dirt, you two made up I'm guessing you sound cheerful" Gillian smirked, "yes we talked a little and sorted it out." Caroline smiled "that's what your still calling it ok... Was it good? Make up sex is always sexy as hell" Gillian laughed. "Gillian I'm not talking about that.. It's private" Caroline spoke defensive, "you spoil sport... That good eh". Caroline couldn't hold the chuckle that escaped her lungs the smile that spread across her face, her body lighting up at the memory, "mind blowing ok, yes bloody fantastic. So that enough detail for you she had me coming all night long, my thighs ache this morning" Caroline finished.
"Jezz I said I was jealous already I know I asked but you could lie and say it was good" she said joking. "Gillian your a nightmare" Caroline laughed "right well I'll see you soon", "yep see you soon".
kate had finally emerged dressed "so we didn't really talk about how this was going to work, shall I go home. Or do you want me to stay? I'm happy to do whatever makes it easier for you and the boys". "Thank you" Caroline pecked her lips "maybe you could make some lunch some sandwiches and stuff in here, and I'll speak to them in the living room. They are used to you being in the house anyway, I mean if your happy with that?" Watching Kate's subtle smile of reassurance.
Gillian and the boys rolled in the front door noisily Gillian finding Caroline's arms squeezing extra hard, the boys chucking their bags down in the hallway. "Hey you two you can take those up to your rooms and then bring down your washing" she smiled watching Lawrence groan as they ascended the stairs.
"Are they ok, did they ask about why mum came to yours so late" Caroline asked worriedly , "they heard shouting and know she's had an argument with you but that's all I told them. I had to explain a little as they were around when your mother bowled up last night, and then I told them they were staying an extra night". Caroline sighed "god I hope they take it better than my mother does" Caroline's nerves building again, "is Kate here?" She winked at Caroline. "Kitchen" she nodded to down the hall, and Gillian disappeared to find her as the boys came back down the stairs.
"Boys we need to have a chat" Caroline tried to sound relaxed, calm. "Is this about Granny" Lawrence exclaimed as Caroline nodded. Both boys followed her into the living room, "Right I need to explain why me and granny have fallen out, and it's not the easiest thing to explain". She took a deep breathe " well I know this might come as a shock for you as me and your dad haven't been apart for very long. But we haven't been happy for a long time and although I still love him, it's a different type of love because we have shared so much we shared you two. You are both so important to me and I really hope you will understand I have thought how this might affect you, and I hope you trust me to know I don't take things lightly.
I have fallen in love with someone else, and it's serious and well it's with a woman". She paused waiting the silence cursing over her "it's Kate" She finished. She sat watching them as they both sat silently for a while "please say something William, Lawrence" She pleaded.
Both boys turned to each other and smiled "are you happy" Lawrence asked, watching the wide bright smile across his mothers face, the flush in her cheeks "yes".
"Ok then" Lawrence smiled, she turned to William "we just want you to be happy" he smiled "and we like Kate she's kind, funny caring". Caroline sat a little bewildered " you, ok... Erm I hadn't expected this reaction... I um thank you" she stuttered.
"Mum it's no big deal, I kind of had my suspicions and well we heard Granny and Gillian arguing when she turned up last night. We had time to talk and it doesn't matter to us, as long as it's what you want" William finished. Caroline wiped the tears flowing down her cheek with the back of her hand, speechless at how grown up and caring her boys were.
"You should have heard Gillian, she lay right in to granny. She's hot your back mum"Lawrence smirked. "Is Kate here?" William asked Caroline wide eyes nodded "in the kitchen".
"ooo is she making her coronation chicken sandwiches, they are delicious" Lawrence asked Caroline laughed the tears free falling. "So you really don't mind?" Both boys shook their heads taking their mother in for a hug, they held each other for a while before parting. "Kate's here lots anyway and if she makes you happy, then go for it mum. As long as she makes her brownies once a week" Lawrence chipped in.
William smiled at his mother "Let's go have some lunch then", "William, Lawrence I love you very much you know that don't you!". They nodded following each other into the kitchen "hey Kate, we hear we will be seeing a lot more of you" William smiled giving her a hug. Kate looked at Caroline's tearful happy face pulling her into a hug, "now not too much PDA ok you too, it's just not cool at your age"Lawrence joked. "Gillian your staying for lunch yes?" Caroline asked pulling her I to a hug "I hear you gave my mother a few things to think about... Thank you".
They all sat around the table tucking into their sandwiches, Kate stroked her leg as she took in the scene her amazing family. She couldn't believe quite how lucky she was, quite how extraordinarily happy she felt At this very moment, finally her true self.
