Nicole was still standing in the doorway jaw dropped and wide eyed as Waverly shook her head and reached forward slamming the door shut and backed up beside her girlfriend.
"Were they just…?" Nicole said as she slowly turned her head and looked at the brunette.
"Mhm, yep they were," Waverly said as she shook her head and grabbed Nicole's hand and walked over to the couch at the side of the room and they sat down, "Well, I'll admit I wasn't fully expecting that."
"Yeah nope, I definitely didn't think they would…" Nicole said as she looked over to her girlfriend with a stunned face.
"I mean, they have been flirting… Is your sister gay?" Waverly asked as she thought back to all the little moments between their older sisters.
"I don't know I mean in high school she dated guys and stuff but I knew she had hooked up with a few chicks but I didn't think she… I mean maybe?" Nicole said as she scrunched her brow trying to work through her racing thoughts, "Wait, is Wynonna… Has she ever been with chicks?"
"I have no clue, I mean she was wild in high school and Gus and Curtis would let her swing by and visit but between juvy and the asylum she wasn't around enough. I haven't known her to ever be with a woman but I mean, shit I don't know," Waverly said quietly.
Back inside Dolls office Wynonna and Kendall had backed away from each other but only slightly as they awkwardly looked around the room before their eyes met.
Wynonna cleared her throat and looked down, "So, nice to see you aren't growing a tail and are back to normal…"
"Yeah," Kendall said with a nervous chuckle, "Uhm thanks for that, you know… Uh…"
"Yeah, yeah sure," Wynonna said quickly, "Anytime… well I mean not anytime but I mean it-I… Yeah, you're uhm, you're welcome… Wouldn't want you going full dog in here and bringing down the Sheriff's Office…"
"Yeah…" Kendall said as she watched Wynonna's nervous motions as she attempted to brush off the passionate make out session.
Kendall was studying the usually confident Earp Heir and her mind replayed the kiss.
Wynonna placed both of her hands on Kendall's cheeks and pulled her face towards her with a passion as their lips collided and began to mold together perfectly. Kendall's breath was knocked from her lungs when she felt the soft lips working furiously against her own and couldn't hold back the small moan that left her as the rough beginning kiss was gradually slowing into a passionate and deep sensation between them.
Kendall lost herself in Wynonna's kiss, the way the Heir's lips slowed and slowly moved against her own was calming the anger of her wolf and igniting a new feeling, one she had never experienced.
Wynonna kept her hands on Kendall's face but they loosened so that the brunette wasn't forcing the blonde's lips to stay there but was now gently cradling her cheeks. Kendall, finally coming to her senses and realizing Wynonna's lips were on hers, began to press forward gently, adding more pressure between their lips as the blonde's hands drifted by Wynonna's hips and then firmly grasped the brunette's lower back as she pulled the Heir in closer.
Wynonna felt Kendall move her hands to hold her and the brunette forgot that she had originally just intended to pull the blonde in for a kiss in an attempt to calm her; due to seeing Nicole calm Waverly that way out in the lobby. Wynonna figured that the kiss would shock Kendall more than anything and then Wynonna would pull away after pressing a single passionate kiss to the blonde's lips but after feeling Kendall's mouth moving against her, the Heir forgot the reason for the kiss and lost herself in the moment.
Kendall gently used her tongue and caressed Wynonna's lips slowly, which caused the brunette to open her mouth and glide her tongue along the blonde's. As the kiss became an entanglement of tongues, moans, and clashing lips, Kendall started to walk forward as Wynonna's back legs gently bumped against Doll's office table. Just as the kiss was intensifying they heard the door open and quickly turned their heads to the doors to see their shocked sisters in the doorway.
"I uhm, I'm sorry about that… I haven't ever had an issue controlling my wolf since my first change…" Kendall said with an embarrassed chuckle.
Wynonna gave a smirk towards the blonde, "Yeah well you haven't ever encountered Earps before… we tend to have quite the effect on people."
"I'm starting to see that," Kendall said quietly as she grinned.
Wynonna wasn't expecting a genuine and nice response from the blonde and her joking smirk transformed into a warm smile.
"This is just so weird," Nicole said as she made a yuck face and shook her head.
They sat in silence for a few moments before Waverly spoke.
"I mean it's definitely awkward but, is it really that bad? I mean, we both have seen them flirting some and they seem to kind of make each other happy? Granted, I would rather not see them shoving their tongues down each other's throats but… I mean we are kind of in the middle of a possible end of the world situation and it seems like they both have a lot weighing on them so maybe it's like they give each other a break from having to constantly deal with the stress of the non-stop bullshit storm," Waverly thought aloud, "Plus, they both support us babe."
"WAIT!" Nicole said as she leaned forward, "Wynonna is pregnant! Like with Doc's baby or a possible revenant baby! Kendall can't hook up with a pregnant chick!"
"Okay well the pregnant chick is my sister there honey, so let's tread lightly with that," Waverly said as she threw a glance to her girlfriend.
"What? No… I didn't mean it like that I just meant…" Nicole said as she closed her eyes and worked out her words carefully, "I love my sister but she and I are just now getting back to being close and I don't know how long she is staying and last time I saw her she took off and I mean yeah she seems like the old Kendall, but… Well Wynonna has a lot going on and a baby and I mean she has been bitching about her hormones and I don't want… Ugh" the redhead groaned as she rubbed her hands over her face.
"Wait, are you worried Kendall will take off and Wynonna will get hurt?" Waverly asked with a slight smile.
"Maybe…" Nicole grumbled as she sat back and rolled her eyes.
"Aw baby!" Waverly chirped excitedly as she leaned over and hugged Nicole as she kissed the redhead's cheek, "You're worried about my sister being all pregnant and your sister breaking her heart! See, and you and Wynonna always talk about how you can't stand each other half the time! You do care!"
"I mean she might drive me crazy but, Wynonna is your sister and… Well she's always had my back and I guess I kind of care about her and the baby. I just don't want to see her and Kendall like get serious then the baby comes and Kendall leave and Wynonna get upset. She has a lot going on already and I mean I know her and Doc and Dolls have their weird little…" Nicole said as she motioned her hands in a circle, "Thing and I just don't want Wynonna finding someone who isn't tied into this Purgatory love triangle and then that someone, aka my sister, breaking her heart because I would actually probably kill Kendall, or at least beat the shit out of her, and I really don't want to hate her again."
"I love you Nicole Haught…" Waverly said sincerely as she looked up to her girlfriend lovingly and leaned up pressing a kiss to the red heads lips, "That was incredibly sweet of you to say."
"I love you too," Nicole said with a smile as she pulled Waverly closer and kissed the top of the brunette's head, "Just don't tell Wynonna I said any of that, I don't want her going on pregnant emotional on me."
"I wouldn't dream of letting her know my girlfriend actually likes her and is protective of her," Waverly said with a light laugh as she snuggled into Nicole's arms.
"Can we make fun of them?" Nicole asked, the smirk evident in her tone.
"Oh hell yes we can make fun of them," Waverly said with a laugh, "Just think of all the times we can interrupt them as a thanks for the many times we had Wynonna barging in."
"Revenge can be oh so sweet," Nicole said with a content smile as she hugged Waverly tightly.
"So should we head out and face the terrible two horn dogs out there?" Wynonna said as she cleared her throat, attempting to bring herself back down and giving in to the desire to kiss the blonde again.
"Yep, let's get this over with…" Kendall groaned with an eye roll as the two headed out of Dolls office.
Nicole and Waverly were both wearing devilish grins as they looked at their two older sisters.
"Go ahead ass hats, get the taunting and teasing over with," Wynonna said as she held her hands out to her sides.
"Ohhhhh no, you don't get to take the fun out of this!" Nicole said with a laugh as she stood up and crossed her arms, "I intend on saving my comments for moments that will cause you total embarrassment!"
"HEY! That's not fair! Baby girl tell your girlfriend that isn't fair!" Wynonna whined.
"Nope, sorry Wyn, Nicole is right, you totally deserve to have this drug out. You're on your own with this one!" Waverly said with a grin as she walked by her sister and over to the blonde who was mindlessly playing with the pages of the Widow's journals, obviously trying to avoid any talk of the kiss.
Waverly could hear Nicole and Wynonna going back and forth arguing playfully, but she was more focused on saying something to Kendall.
"You okay?" Waverly asked genuinely, "You looked a little spooked in there…"
Kendall looked up and gave a small smile, "Yeah I'm good now, just haven't really had that happen before and I know how much my alpha coming out will effect Nicole. Thanks for calming her down."
Waverly gave a nod and put her hand on Kendall's shoulder. Kendall looked over at Nicole and Wynonna, who were now in a small slapping match with each other.
Waverly spun around and sat on the table beside Kendall as they watched the redhead and the Heir continue their playful fighting and banter.
"I think it's a good thing you're here, Nicole needs you right now and so do we…" Waverly said as she kept her eyes on her girlfriend and big sister.
"Why do I feel like there is a but coming?" Kendall said with a glance down to Waverly.
"But if you hurt her, I don't care how big and bad you are as a wolf… I will skin your ass and use you as a rug," Waverly said with an eyebrow raised as she cut her eyes towards Kendall.
"Are we talking about Nicole or Wynonna?" Kendall asked cautiously as she scrunched her brow.
"Both of them," Waverly said as she looked back towards the two, Wynonna now had Nicole in a headlock as Nicole was flailing her arms about to get free.
"Deal…" Kendall said as she watched the playful fight occurring.
"Well I do declare, this was not what I was expecting to see," Doc said as he walked through the BBD office doors with Dolls, Rosita and Jeremy, causing Wynonna and Nicole to halt their motions and smile innocently as they separated.
"Do we even want to know what is going on?" Dolls said as he looked between Wynonna and Nicole.
"NO!" All four women shouted at the same time.
"Rapid simultaneous answers are often indicative of deception," Jeremy said off handedly.
"Can it Wikipedia," Wynonna growled towards the younger man, which caused Jeremy to raise his hands in a surrendering motion.
"Moving on," Dolls said as everyone walked into the room and the office door was shut, "Jeremy and I are going to give Widow Mercedes a dose of something that should stop her ability to produce venom for several days and since she's unconscious, now is the best time for them to work on her. Meanwhile the rest of you are going to talk about what happens in hell and why it's so important to avoid."
"Okay but after can we go and talk to Nedley?" Nicole asked as she looked towards her sister who nodded, "Yeah but why don't you and Wynonna do that. I need to borrow Waverly for a bit to help me with something."
"Works for me," Wynonna shrugged as she kicked her feet up on the table.
"What do you need me for?" Waverly asked in confusion, Kendall's desperate look of seriously just go with it made the brunette clear her throat and then quickly say, "I mean that sounds good. I'll help you then we can all grab food at Shorty's before we go home."
"Okay so can we hurry this up? I got things to do," Rosita said as she flopped down in a chair across from Wynonna, carefully watching how Doc went over to Wynonna and sat beside the Heir.
"Okay so first question is for Kendall, how many times have you been to hell?" Waverly said as everyone looked to the blonde.
"Quite a few times over the years... Our father is primarily there and in charge of everything and since I'm next in line to take over for him instead of me wasting too much time there, I tend to stay in the land of the living and keep order and assign the tracking orders," Kendall said as she glanced to Rosita.
"What's it smell like?" Nicole asked from the seat next to Rosita.
"Fire, burned flesh, charcoal… Kind of a really bad burnt rubber mixed in with the smell of a fire that's been put out…" Kendall said absent mindedly as she thought about it.
Nicole was sniffing heavily as her head turned towards Rosita and raised an eyebrow.
Everyone in the room had their eyes on Nicole after she asked her unusual question so they all saw how the redhead was sniffing frantically and her head drifted from facing forward and her eyes were now burning into Rosita.
Rosita was intentionally not looking towards the red head as she bit her lip and glanced around the room.
"No fucking way…" Wynonna gawked.
"Now everyone, let's not get too hasty with our judgments," Doc said cautiously.
Nicole let out a low growl as her now red eyes were beaming. Rosita quickly got up and started backing away from the group with her hands up in a surrendering but was surprised when Kendall stepped in front of her and flashed her yellow eyes at Nicole and growled back.
"Enough Cole," Kendall said in a low tone.
"YOU KNEW?!" Nicole yelled back.
"Yes, but she isn't on the list to bring back right now. Rosita has been very helpful tracking down escaped demons," Kendall said as she let her eyes fall back to their normal color, "We don't get to execute everyone Nicole, we have a duty to uphold and she has been helping us and if you knew what she has had to go through in hell you would understand why she would rather stay on earth as long as she can and help rather than cause issues. She hasn't done anything to be sent back down there and I wasn't going to expose a secret that could get her killed."
"I'm here to help okay?" Rosita said quickly, now staring at Wynonna. The Heir had Peacemaker drawn but also had Doc standing in front of her to prevent the brunette from pointing the gun at Rosita.
"She has done nothing but fought by our side since the very beginning Wynonna, don't be mad that you were not made aware of this little predicament, Rosita has a lot to protect and with your line of work she has been risking a lot by even offering to help us all this time," Doc said quietly as his eyes burned into the Heir's eyes pleadingly.
Wynonna bumped Doc out of the way and walked up to Rosita, still not pointing Peacemaker at the woman.
Kendall respectfully moved out of Wynonna's way as she approached, showing the Heir that she was not going to stand in the way if Wynonna needed to do her job. Kendall knew that Nicole's hell hound roots would make her want to attack Rosita and the hounds had orders to not bring Rosita back down, but Wynonna had her own job and Kendall wouldn't stand in the way of that.
Wynonna gave Kendall a quick nod of appreciation.
Rosita watched as Wynonna walked up to her and was now only feet away.
"I like you, I really do…" Wynonna said quietly.
"I won't cause any issues, I have only tried to help you and that won't change or I can leave if you want just… Please…" Rosita said as she looked from Peacemaker to Wynonna.
Wynonna was visibly struggling with what to do but ultimately holstered Peacemaker and looked at Rosita.
"I'll shoot you last…" Wynonna said as she turned and walked back towards her seat.
As she passed Doc the Heir made eye-contact, "You could have told me, you asshole."
Doc nodded, not going to push his luck and say anything more. Wynonna had spared Rosita for now and he would just be grateful of that.
"Ohhhhhh-kay…" Waverly said as everyone took their seats back around the table, "Now that we got that out of the way…"
Nicole rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, fighting her hell hound roots that were wanting nothing more than to jump Rosita right there.
"What is hell like and why was Clootie so damn desperate to make sure those bitches never went there?" Wynonna asked as she looked directly at Rosita.
"It's hell… Imagine the worst pain you've ever felt in your life over and over again replaying on repeat. You can't escape it. The fire burns through your skin and you are constantly in agony. Your heart feels just as broken, like you'll never experience happiness again…" Rosita said quietly as she looked down at her hands.
Kendall walked back over to Rosita and put a hand on her shoulder as she looked at everyone around the table.
"The sounds…" Kendall said quietly, "All you hear while you're there is constant screams of pain. You hear people begging for the pain to end but everyone knows that it never will. There's no escape from the noise and it's impossible to block it out. People are tortured everywhere… Constantly…"
"You will go from being tied up and coated in gasoline and lit on fire to being held under boiling water… You're already dead so you can't die again. The wounds heal almost instantly and as soon as they do you're being tortured again. You don't sleep, you don't eat, you don't laugh… It's just constant pain in a sauna… Everything in you breaks and you never forget the pain. When you come back to earth the good of you is gone because all you can do is replay what they've done to you over and over… You're mad at the living because they get to be here and you know that one day you'll have to go back and you'll go through the pain and torture every day for eternity. All you wish is that you'll die and won't wake up, but in hell you always come back. There's no peace because there is no death. Only pain…" Rosita said as a tear slipped down her cheek.
"I'm sorry…" Wynonna said genuinely as she looked over to the broken woman.
"Yeah well…" Rosita said as she sniffled and wiped her cheek and shook off Kendall's hand, "It's a bitch and it makes you go insane so I'm sure Clootie just wanted to make sure his wives never ended up there because he needed them to focus on the seals and bringing him back and trust me if bitches ever went to hell they wouldn't give a rats ass about him being resurrected… Am I good to go now? I have shit I need to do."
"Yes," Doc said quietly as he frowned and watched Rosita storm out the door.
"Hell changes people… And every time they go back, the torture is worse…" Kendall said softly as she watched Rosita leave, "Especially for women…"
Everyone sat quietly in the room, all trying to process what they had heard.
"She may not be who you thought she was Wynonna, but she sure as hell isn't the enemy. I've known Rosita for many years and I can tell you that she did not deserve the fate that was bestowed upon her," Doc said as he stood up and tipped his hat to the other women in the room, "She was a good person and even after hell, she's still trying to maintain that genuine heart but it isn't easy."
Wynonna put her hands over her face and sighed, "Damnit… Nothing like your baby daddy's girlfriend being a Revenant you'll have to kill…"
"Deal with it when the time comes Earp, for now let her be and let her continue to help you," Kendall said as she placed a supportive hand on Wynonna's back.
"Yeah and I know you're horrible at math, but you still have a shit ton of Rev-heads to kill so we have pleanty of time," Waverly said as she gave her sister a small smile.
"True… I guess for now…" Wynonna said as she stood up and held her belly and looked towards Nicole, "You and I get to go drop the steaming pile of werewolf shit on Nedley's desk, so that will at least make the day better."
"Sometimes I worry about how much enjoyment you get out of torturing him," Nicole said as she squinted her eyes at the Heir, who just shrugged in response.
"See you in a bit?" Waverly said with a smile as she looked towards her girlfriend.
"Of course," Nicole said leaning down and giving a quick kiss to the brunette's lips, "Kendall and I ran here so why don't we just meet you guys at Shorty's whenever you two are done with… Wait what exactly are you doing with my girlfriend?"
Kendall rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "Seriously can't I have some bonding time with my more than likely soon to be sister-in-law? I promise it's nothing crazy, supernatural filled, or dangerous."
"Kendall…" Nicole said as she raised her eyebrows and tilted her head.
"Yeah, yeah I know… Not a hair on your girl's head will be harmed, now get out of here…" Kendall said as she used her hands and ushered Nicole towards the door where Wynonna was waiting.
Kendall threw her arm around Waverly and the two gave smiles to the redhead as she left the room.
"So what are we doing?" Waverly asked as she glanced to the blonde.
"We, my wonderful little hybrid, are going to prepare for Friday," Kendall said as she started walking.
"Wait… Nicole's birthday or her becoming a werewolf?" Waverly asked as she grabbed her coat and trotted to catch up with the blonde.
"BOTH!" Kendall called out without even looking back.
"I hate when they don't just tell me what the hell we are doing," Waverly grumbled as she rolled her eyes.
