Chapter 14

Discoveries

Feeling the bed move Sara stirred. As she shifted she groaned at the pain all her aching muscles supplied her with. Her eyes flickered open and the blurry image of a face framed by blonde hair swam into view. She smiled.

"Hey." Sara said in a very husky voice.

"Hi Sara." The voice was wrong to Sara's ears. As she blinked a few times the face came into focus, and as it did she grabbed the sheets to her, in a vain attempt to cover herself.

"Shit." She murmured. "You're not Catherine."

"Uhhh, have you banged your head? You're sleeping next to mom." Lindsey smiled.

Sara turned to face a still slumbering Catherine and nudged her. "Uh, Catherine? Catherine…you need to wake up."

"Just give me five minutes…" Catherine mumbled, nuzzling into Sara.

"There are no minutes left Catherine…Lindsey's here." She tried.

"Hi mom." Lindsey piped up.

Catherine opened her eyes and looked at the shock that was evident on Sara's face before turning to her daughter. "Hey Linds. How come you're back so early?" She asked.

"Mom, it's not early…it's one in the afternoon."

Catherine's eyes flicked to the clock to confirm Lindsey's story. "Sorry sweetie, must have slept in."

"You must have been really tired to sleep this long."

"Mmhmm…we had a big night. Have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah. We had lunch before they dropped me home." Lindsey smiled.

"Ok. Well, why don't you go and find something to do while Sara and I get dressed, alright?"

"Sure." And with that Lindsey ran out of the room.

***

Catherine stretched and turned to face Sara who was sitting stock still staring at the doorway which Lindsey had just exited. Rubbing Sara's shoulder Catherine spoke softly.

"Hey, you ok?" She asked.

"We just…your daughter just caught us in bed together." Sara's eyes widened at her own words.

"And…?"

"And…your daughter saw us naked in bed together." Sara replied shock evident in her voice.

"Yeah. But she's seen me naked before…and it's not like we could have stopped this from happening." Catherine reasoned.

"But Catherine, she's going to be scarred for life now." Sara was interrupted by a snort of laughter from Catherine. "What!?"

"Lindsey won't be scarred."

"How do you know?"

"Well, for one she already knew I was going out with you."

"But she saw us in bed Catherine." Sara said exasperatedly.

"Ok. Let me let you in on a little secret. One day, Lindsey went out with some friends to the mall. I'd had a particularly hard day, and I needed some relief…I needed a release." Catherine caught the look on Sara's face. "What!? Yes, even I pleasure myself."

"Of course…I mean, you're allowed too."

Catherine rolled her eyes. "Anyway…one of the other moms dropped Lindsey home, and I guess I just didn't hear the car. She came right on up here, right as I came."

Sara's jaw had dropped open. "What…" Sara cleared her suddenly dry throat. "What did she do?"

"You wouldn't believe it, but she came in and held me. She thought I was having some kind of attack. After I had relaxed, I sat her down and explained everything to her. She seemed fine with it. And I told her to always come to me about anything, and you know…she always has." Catherine finished.

Sara smiled. "Guess I had nothing to worry about then?"

Catherine shook her head. "Nope. Obviously I won't do it in front of her or anything…but with a scene like today, I'm reminded of just how amazing she is."

"She's a great kid Cath. All your effort has paid off."

"So, do you feel better now that you don't think you've 'scarred her for life'." Catherine grinned at Sara.

"Shut up. How was I supposed to know that she'd seen you pleasuring yourself in the past?" Sara said playfully.

"Oh, shut up!" Catherine replied, leaning in and kissing Sara effectively silencing the brunette. "Now come on, we need to get dressed." Catherine said, jumping out of bed and starting to find her clothes.

***

Sara was still gathering her clothes and putting them on when Catherine left the room fully dressed. Sara watched her leave with a little smile on her face. She was still amazed at all that had passed between the two of them. It had only been a few days, but already it felt as though they'd been together a lifetime. Sara straightened her clothes and grinned again before heading downstairs to find Catherine.

Sara found Catherine sitting on the couch with Lindsey, chatting lightly during a break in the television program Lindsey was watching. As soon as Sara entered Lindsey looked over at her with a smile on her face.

"It's ok, you know?" Lindsey said nodding in Sara's direction.

Sara looked at the young girl before her and cocked an eyebrow at her "Um, what's ok?"

"That you and mom are together, silly." Lindsey answered with a shrug. Sara blushed a deep shade of red and looked to Catherine in the hopes that she would help her out of this. One look at Catherine's face told her this was not going to be the case. Catherine was trying to keep herself from laughing, and by the looks of it, wasn't winning the battle.

"What would make you think that I was worried about you knowing about your mom and me?" Sara asked, trying to keep her composure.

"The look on your face when I came in this morning pretty much gave it away." Lindsey burst into laughter, "I have never seen anyone move so fast when they realised I was in the room. World record Sara!" Lindsey cheered.

"I was just worried that you…uh, that you might see something that might…" Sara flicked her eyes to Catherine with a look that begged the blonde to help her.

"Sara was worried that you might be 'scarred for life'" Catherine supplied.

Lindsey stood up and walked over to Sara who was still standing in the doorway to the room and grabbed her hand. Pulling on Sara's hand she managed to move her over to the couch and sit her down, before she spoke to her.

"Sara, I really don't mind that you and mom are together. In fact I'm really happy for both of you, because at least now you're both happy." Lindsey smiled at Sara, and received a smile from Sara as well. "And, the best bit is I can tell that not only do you love and care about mom, but you actually give a damn about me as well and that means a lot. Some of mom's other…" Lindsey caught her mother's glare just in time. "Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I want you two to be together. You're so perfect together." She finished with a grin.

"I love both your mom and you Linds, very much." Sara said earnestly. "Thankyou so much for being so mature about this."

Lindsey smiled at Sara, "That's ok. And there's really no danger of scarring me."

"Why's that?"

"Let's just say I've seen my mother naked. Nothing you can do is worse, or more scarring than that!"

"Lindsey!" Catherine groaned out, as Lindsey ducked away from Catherine as she tried to swat her.

"What mom? It's true!" Lindsey said with a giggle.

"You make it sound like I wander around the house naked constantly" Catherine whined at her daughter.

"Well, you do like wandering around in your underwear" Lindsey grinned, before dashing out of the room.

"I'm gonna get her!" Catherine said rising from the couch. She stopped short when Sara grabbed onto her hand and pulled her back down onto the couch.

"You like to wander around in your underwear?"

"I wouldn't say that exactly." Catherine said as she settled back onto the couch next to Sara who has raised an eyebrow at the blonde next to her.

"What would you say then?"

"Hmmm…" Catherine pushed Sara back so she was lying on the couch and settled herself on top of the brunette. "I'd say that occasionally when I don't have clean clothes, I wander around the house looking for some." Catherine smirked and continued "I also do it when Lindsey isn't home."

"Is that right?" Sara settled herself under the blonde and brought her hands to her hips to keep her steady.

"Mmhmm…would you like to see my underwear collection?" Catherine winked.

"I'd prefer the first option actually" Sara grinned at Catherine.

"The first option?" Catherine raised her eyebrow trying to work out what Sara was talking about.

"Yeah. Having you wandering around naked would be much nicer."

"You are so dirty Sidle."

Sara laughed, "maybe I should take a shower again…that way I won't be dirty anymore and I'll get to see you naked."

"That's not what I meant, and you know it!" Catherine said and kissed Sara passionately to silence the witty remark that Sara was about to make. Catherine ran her fingers through Sara's dark locks as her tongue begged for entrance. Sara moaned into the kiss as Catherine slipped in her tongue. The two broke apart when they heard a cough, and looked over to see Lindsey standing there with a massive smile on her face.

"Guys, I said I wouldn't scar easily, that doesn't mean you should be playing tonsil hockey while I'm here."

Sara was shocked at not only being caught for the second time, but also by the words Lindsey had used. Catherine however showed no such shock. She had leapt off Sara and tackled Lindsey to the ground in seconds, and had proceeded to imitate what she called the 'tickle monster'. Sara laughed as Lindsey cried out with laughter and tried to wriggle away from Catherine.

"Mom!...stop, I…can't…I can't…breathe!" Lindsey struggled to get out between her laughter.

"Apologise for being such a horrible daughter" Catherine said in mock seriousness.

"No!" Lindsey's answer caused Catherine to tickle harder if that was possible. "Ok!...ok…I'm sorry!" Catherine gave her one last tickle for good measure before letting her up.

Catherine looked over to Sara who was smiling lovingly at the pair of them. "That's why you don't mess with your mother!" Catherine said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, yeah! Great lot of help you were Sara. What happened to loving me?" Lindsey pouted.

"Hey," Sara put her hands in front of her in surrender, "I'm not dumb enough to mess with your mom. Especially not with her cruel and unusual punishments."

Catherine grinned. "See Lindsey…you can't always beat your mother."

"Not if you and your girlfriend team up on me!" Lindsey pouted dramatically.

"C'mon Linds, it's not that bad." Sara said grinning at the blonde girl.

"You wait till mom turns the 'tickle monster' on you. Then we'll see." Lindsey said with a wink and left the room.
