So, here's chapter two, I'm pretty impressed with the fact that I have it ready already, it usually takes me like a week or so haha. Pretty sure this is the longest chapter I've ever written for any fanfic I've ever done, I'm just, very happy with this.
I don't own the characters, I just love these two as a couple, even if it's a crack ship.
I felt heavy, as I tried to open my lids against the bright light that was threatening to disturb my dreams. My brain was foggy even as I opened my lids, all I could see was this bright, almost blinding light around her as she whispered "I can't do this without you.."
A soft smile came to my lips as I blinked awake, my vision slightly blurry as I realized my glasses were off. I glanced over, my brow furrowing when she wasn't there. "Sarah?" I croaked out, finally coming to my senses, realizing she was on my chest and she sounded like she was sobbing. "Sarah, what's wrong." I asked, tilting my head a bit as she looked up at me, her cheeks shining with tears.
"You stopped breathing..I thought you were dead.." She informed me, her hands cupping my face as her thumb stroked my cheek slowly. "I thought I lost you.." She whispered, tears dripping down her chin.
I saw it coming, but did nothing to stop her as she leaned down, pressing her warm lips to my own. I was pleasantly surprised at how she felt, much better than anything I had ever imagined and I couldn't bring myself to end it. Instead I tangled my fingers in her hair, deepening the kiss.
It was perfect, despite the events that brought it on, or the wetness that was now on my cheeks, because it was finally happening. As she pulled away, smiling at me in the way I've only ever seen her smile at Kira, I couldn't help but grin back up at her, my hand moving to cup her cheek gently.
"Well..that's one way to wake up."I chuckled softly. She rolled her eyes at me and sniffed softly, leaning into my hand as I ran my thumb over her lips, sighing softly. . "I'm sorry, I scared you.." I murmured, biting my lip gently.
"It wasn't your fault, just..don't ever do it again." She said, shaking her head a bit, her brow furrowing cutely like it always did when she was debating on something."I don't want to lose you..ever, I.." She trailed off, glancing away.
"I love you too." I murmured, a slight smirk on my face as I thought of how adorable she had been last night and how hard it was for me not to react to what she had said, but I figured she needed time to work up enough courage to say it to my face.
"Bloody hell, Cos, you were awake last night, weren't you!" She huffed, her cheeks turning a beautiful shade of red. I watched as a slight smile formed on her lips, even as she tried to pretend she was mad at me for it, I could tell she was some what relieved.
"You caught me, but in my defense, you just assumed I was asleep, and you made it extremely difficult not to say anything last night, but I figured you weren't quite ready to say it to me, so I just let it go." I admitted, shrugging my shoulders a bit as she moved off of me.
I frowned at the lose of warmth, but rolled over to watch her as she got out of the bed, stretching her arms over her head. "Well, thank you for that, it's just confusing..all of this." She gestured to them and then out toward the loft where everyone was sleeping, before her arms dropped to her sides once more.
"We'll figure it out." I said softly, watching as she crossed to a large duffle on the floor, pulling out a pair of grey jeans, and a black shirt, along with a set of underwear. I couldn't bring myself to look away as she started to strip.
Even though we were genetically identical, I could spot the differences between us both. Her body was toned and muscled in places where mine were not and she had odd scars here and there, I knew some were from recent events, but the paler ones, the old ones, had to be from either Vic or her past endeavours, and for some reason, that made a spark of rage run through me.
"I'll be back in a few hours, Marion wants to show me something." She rolled her eyes as she grabbed a brush off the end table, running it through her thick hair, before tossing it back. She looked stunning, as always, and she didn't seem to mind my staring.
"Saw something you liked, I hope." She smirked at me as she shrugged on her leather jacket, before sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling her boots on.
My cheeks flushed as I shook my head, stifling a giggle. "Nothing I haven't seen before." I retorted, throwing a pillow at her, snorting as it pegged her in the back of the head.
She sat there for a minute, strapping her boot before she picked up the pillow, turning on me with a devilish look in her eye. "You're going to regret that." She grinned smacking me with the pillow lightly, rolling her eyes. "When you're better anyway." She winked, before pecking my lips, crawling off the bed once more.
I sighed softly, leaning against the pillows as she grabbed her wallet, phone and what looked like a bulky pocket knife, stuffing them into her jacket or pants pockets. "We'll talk about all of this later, yeah?" She said, flashing me her signature smile, before walking off of the platform.
"Okay, be safe." I said softly before she left the loft. With a huff, I rubbed my face, before getting up, grabbing my glasses off of her pillow, slipping them on before I got out of bed. I cleaned up a bit, putting on fresh clothes, before I grabbed my laptop, flipping it open to start my work.
I was rereading the same line for the last hour, when Kira climbed into bed next to me, curling up into my side. "What are you doing?" She asked softly, leaning her head on my arm, a book in her lap.
"I'm trying to isolate the cause of what's making me sick, so I can fix it." I replied, leaning over to kiss the top of her head. She was so sweet, and even though she wasn't mine, I was so protective of her, when I had found out she was taken by Rachel, I wanted nothing more than to shove that pencil into her eye myself.
"Oh, well, do you want to read a story?" She asked, making me smile softly. She placed the book she had, on top of my keyboard and looked at me with a smile that was so much like her mothers.
"Alright." I smiled, opening the book. My eyes widened as I looked at all of the formulas and coding that were scrawled across the pages, flipping through to find that most of them were covered in genetic sequencing. "Kira, where did you get this?" I asked, looking at the small child with wonder.
"Mr. Duncan gave it to me, he said it was really important." She smiled, snuggling into her aunt. "He said it would help, was he right?" She asked, looking up at me with those big brown eyes.
"He was very right, Kira, this is going to help me get better." I smiled at her, ruffling her hair. "Why don't you go wake up Uncle Felix and Auntie Helena, and we'll all go out for breakfast, okay?" I chuckled as she nodded enthusiastically, before bouncing off to wake the others up.
I pulled my phone out and texted Sarah. Everything is going to be okay. I hit send, a grin on my face as I tucked the book into a safe place, before getting up once again, chuckling as my phone went off.
Bloody hell, what's that supposed to mean? She responded, making me roll my eyes, as I replied with a simple, I'll tell you later, before pocketing it once more.
"Where's Auntie Helena?" Kira called out as I stepped down off the platform, looking at Felix with raised brows. He shrugged his shoulders, before heading over to Kira, who was sitting where Helena was sleeping the previous night.
"I don't know, Monkey, maybe she had to go somewhere." Felix said, picking the little one up, holding her to his chest as she continued to pout. "Oh, don't be sad, love, she promised she would always come back, didn't she?" He smiled, kissing the top of her head, before setting her down once more. She nodded at him and perked up a bit, before running off after he told her to go get dressed.
"What is that?" He asked, pointing to what looked like a large nitro tank. I knelt down, keeping a hold on my oxygen cart, as I read the label.
"I think it's Helena's DNA or something..." I said, picking the label off. It was marked Specimen: Helena. "I have some equipment with me, that we can use to check later, let's go eat first, okay?" I smiled at him as he helped me get back up.
"So, did you and Sarah do any talking?" He asked, a smirk on his lips as I slapped his arm gently. "Oh, please, like I wouldn't know my sister was in love, and besides I see the way you two look at each other, it's bloody pathetic sometimes." He rolled his eyes at me, giving me the look he gave Sarah when she tried to hide things from her.
"We talked..yes, she uh..well she admitted she loved me last night when she thought I was sleeping." I paused as he gave an amused sort of chuckle, before I continued. "And apparently I stopped breathing this morning, and she was crying all over me and when I woke up she looked so heartbroken and then she.." I trailed off, my cheeks heating up as I looked away from him.
"Oh my god, she kissed you, didn't she?" He practically squealed, causing me to slap my hand over his mouth.
"Quiet, I don't think Kira should know, not right now anyway, we don't even know how to go about any of this." I hissed, before removing my hand.
He rolled his eyes, giving me that brotherly look again. "Fine, but if you think about it, your thing with Delphine is over, and she told Cal last night, so really the only thing standing in your way is yourselves." He pointed out, my brow furrowing when he mentioned Sarah telling Cal.
"Wait, she told Cal? How did that go?" I asked as he shrugged, walking off to grab himself some clothes. I followed him, my brows up, waiting expectantly.
He snorted as he changed his shirt, before replying. "He took it surprisingly well and she ended up crying, but she's fine, obviously, so I don't understand why you guys don't say fuck it and bloody be together, no one here is going to care and Kira loves you all to death so I doubt it could be any worse than Sarah's previous relationships, at least you won't be trying to kill her." He said matter of factly, pausing before he seemed to decide against changing his pants in front of me.
I shuddered slightly at the thought of the men that had hurt her, protective rage swelling up inside me once more. "You're right, Fee, but we're going to talk about it once she gets back, so I mean..we'll figure it out." I said, before turning around so he could change.
Around the time he was ready, so was Kira, looking adorable in a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt, her pink jacket hung over her shoulders. It made me think of how Sarah would look as a child, dressing almost the same way.
"Are you ready for some pancakes?" I asked, pulling on my jacket, before holding my hand out for her. She took it, nodding her head as she smiled at me. "Then let's go, tell Felix to hurry up." I teased as she looked over her shoulder, watching her Uncle pull on his over coat.
"I'm comin', I'm comin', hold your horses." He replied, shaking his head, as he opened the door for them. "Come on then." He chuckled, as I let Kira pull me out the door, my oxygen tank trailing behind us.
After he locked the door, Felix insisted on carrying my tank and the the cart down the steps. I rolled my eyes, but allowed him to as Kira and I walked down in front of him. I would be glad when I could come up with a cure, because this tank was getting annoying.
"There's a diner right down the street that has her favorite pancakes." He informed me as we took to the streets, me on one side of Kira, him on the other. To some people we may have looked like a family, and that's how I felt, only part of me wished it was Sarah on the other side of her daughter, instead of her brother.
"Sounds good to me." I grinned as we swung Kira between us as she giggled. I couldn't get over how adorable, how much like her mother, she was. "What are your favorite kinds of pancakes anyway? Mine are blueberry." I chuckled as she bounced between us.
"That's mommy's favorite too!" She grinned, turning her head to look at me. "But, mine are chocolate chip, just like Uncle Felix!" I heard him chuckle as we turned the corner, coming up on the small diner.
"That's right, Monkey, should we get a big stack to share?" He asked, holding the door for us. I offered him a warm smile in thanks, which he seemed to shrug off, like usual.
"No, I want my own stack." She insisted as she pulled us to a window booth, scooting in. "Auntie Cosima, will you sit with me?" She asked, looking up at me hopefully.
Felix scoffed softly, feigning hurt at her words, as he slid into the opposite side. "Alright, Kira." I smiled, slipping my jacket off, before sliding in next to her, leaving my tank as close to the booth as possible, not wanting to trip anyone.
When the waitress came, she offered us a bright smile, handing out our menus, before taking our drink orders. Felix got tea, Kira, chocolate milk, and I got myself a cup of black coffee. "Ew, you drink it black?" Felix asked once the waitress was gone.
"Yeah? it's not that bad, at least I don't drink hot tea." I made a face, shaking my head slightly. "Tea has to be the most vile thing in the world, I don't understand how you and Sarah drink it." i said, watching as he shook his head.
"You, Yanks and your coffee." He snorted, leaning his chin in his hand. I sighed softly, shrugging my shoulders, finding it easier to just drop it than to argue, although, being called a yank was new.
"Here we go," The waitress murmured, setting out drinks down in front of them. "Do you guys need more time to look over the menu, or are we all settled to order?" She asked, sounding a bit too chipper.
I shrugged my shoulders, looking to the others before I answered. "I think we're ready, I know I want a small stack of blueberry pancakes and a side of bacon." I smiled, looking over to Kira who was acting uncharacteristically shy.
"Me and the little one will have a chocolate chip pancakes, I would like a side of fresh fruit and she wants fried potatoes." He answered for him and Kira, who gave him a grateful smile, before taking a sip of her chocolate milk.
"Alright, I'll go put this right in and have it out as soon as it's ready." She smiled, taking our menus before taking off again.
I shook my head, grabbing a few packets of sugar, pouring them into my mug, before stirring and taking a sip, sighing softly as the warmth traveled from my chest, settling in my stomach. "Much better." I smiled, nudging Kira gently.
"Do you have a pen?" She asked, looking from me to her paper place mat. I chuckled softly, rummaging through my jacket pockets, before extracting a black pen. "Thank you." She grinned, starting to doodle on the paper.
We sat in comfortable silence, waiting for our food, occasionally Kira would ask a random question, both other than that, we were uninterrupted until our food was set down in front of us. We smiled and thanked the waitress, before digging into our breakfast.
Felix's brow furrowed as he pulled out his buzzing phone, "Sarah?" He answered, the sound of her name making my heart jump. "Oh, we're at the diner, eating, yeah, Helena left, but Cosima and Kira are with me." He nodded to himself, taking a sip of his tea. "Alright, see you soon."
He hung up, tucking it away once more, before rolling his eyes. "She thought something may have happened, but she's headed over here, will you wave down the waitress and get her a mug of tea, I need to use the restroom."
I nodded and waited until he was out of sight, before waving own our waitress. She smiled at me and nodded, going to get the other drink. Sarah showed up, shortly after the mug was deposited, and scooted into the booth, right across from Kira.
"Morning, love, how did you talk Uncle Felix into buying you pancakes?" She asked, taking a sip of her tea, her cheeks and nose were slightly pink from the cold. Her eyes glanced over at me, looking soft and warm, before they returned to her daughter.
"I didn't, it was Auntie Cosima's idea." Kira grinned, taking a bite of her pancakes, humming happily. I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders, finishing off my coffee.
"Well, that was nice of you." She said, as Felix sat down, nudging her sister with a smile. "Are those blueberry pancakes?" She asked, pointing to my plate. I had barely touched them, not very hungry.
"Yeah, they are, do you want them? I'm not all that hungry." I said, pushing the plate toward her. She accepted them gratefully, pouring an insane amount of syrup on them, before tucking in.
I shook my head, smiling as my mug was refilled, watching them eat contently, as I sipped my drink. Everything was absolutely perfect.
So, what did you think! Let me know and I'll love you forever!
