Maneuvering carefully through the icy streets and bone chilling winds, Meg and Jo along with Bella and Steel finally made it safely in front of a massive two story house. Inside you could clearly see lights, indicating that the homeowners were awaiting their arrival.

Turning off the ignition and making sure that all three were bundled up nice and tight, Jo walked slightly ahead making sure that Steel didn't get buried and sink beneath the snow while Meg opted to carried Bella in her arms, who was more than happy to be pressed against any type of warmth.

Reaching the oak door after much stumbling and falling on Megs part; Jo breaking half of her falls, Jo ranged the doorbell hopping from one foot to the other. It was ridiculously cold. Even our big fella was shivering and he wore an oversized hoodie for dogs that they bought at the pet shelter. The freezing weather also seemed to get their overhyped family member to quiet down. Bella also was decked out in a mini hoodie decided to turn her body around and try to burrow as far as possible against Meg.

Not even a second after her finger left the doorbell, the door flew open to reveal Maria wearing nothing but a pair of boxers and wife beater. Eyes blaring red and frown set firm in place.

"And what the hell took you guys so long….." Maria took a quick look at the two shivering pups and raised questioning eyes back at Meg and Jo.

"Care to explain?"

"Umm care to let us in before ' Jr.' freezes to death and Meg's tits get frost bite?" Jo struggled to say between chattering teeth. Forget her 'Jr' freezing. It felt more like it was about to shrivel up and die.

"Oh shit duh of course. Surprised your ass just didn't push me out the way but then I would have to kick your ass and then Meg would have to obviously come save it and- "

"MARIA!" Meg and Jo shouted, staring at her in bewilderment. Babbling was more of Megs and Kyohei thing, not Maria's. Last time this happened was when Sei came down stairs wearing nothing but boy shorts and one of Maria's wife beater tank top. But here's the kicker…braless. Saying that Maria didn't get a nose breed and was seconds away from passing out was an understatement.

"Huh oh umm haha yea come in." Laughing nervously, Maria stepped to the side and allowed all four in. The pups were more than happy to be let into the house. That strange person just kept talking and talking. Didn't she know that it was beyond freezing outside? Humans…..

"Yeaaaaa I'm not even going to ask…no better yet I am. What the hell is wrong with you? We would've been outside forever if we didn't get your ass to stop babbling." Jo shrugged off her coat and scarf while trying to help steel out of his. Meg doing the same with Bella.

"Nothing wrong with me ass wipe. The question that I want to hear is why the hell you two are so late and driving at this time on night and through a blizzard!" Maria threw her hands up, waiting for an answer. Maria may act all tough like Jo but both were really a big softly at heart. Defiantly when it came to their 'family'.

"Aww who would of guessed. Big bad Maria was worried about little ol' us." Jo stuck her bottom lip out toward Maria's direction but she only scowled at Jo in return.

"Tch! Last time I worry about your ass." Maria mumbled turning to leave while Meg glared daggers at Jo.

"What?" Jo mouthed back.

"Come on Maria. We're sorry we worried you. Never going happen again ok?" Meg walked her way over to Maria to hug her from behind. She couldn't help it. Meg considered Maria as her big 'brother' and Maria saw Meg as her lil sis. Seeing their 'happy go lucky' bubble butt generally this upset was not going to fly well with Meg or anyone else for that matter.

"Yea Maria. You know I wouldn't pull some bullshit like that without a reason. With Meg or with the new addition to the family here either. I shouldn't have joked around with you on that one. Sorry about that man." Jo reached down to pet Steel's head who hasn't left her side since nor did Bella leave Megs. Mhmm did that kid say something about these two being so obedient?...Oh well, guess we just got lucky.

"Yea yea. Got me feeling all soft and fuzzy and shit. Sooooo this is how you feel, huh Jo?" Maria grinned.

Meg sighed and Let go of Maria. She should have known that they couldn't go one day without their 'bro bonding'.

"Haha yyeeaaa says the one that always go goo-goo eyes over a blacked hair goddess."

"What the hell are you talking about now?"

"Do I have to spell it out? Ok how do I put this that you understand….ok I got it….SEI SEI SEI SEI! OH BABY YOU MAKE ME WANA AHHHHHHHHH!"

Meg stepped to the side as Maria sent herself and Jo flying. Trying to pin Jo while she was threw punches at her from left and right. Meg shook her head as she looked down at the pups who were watching with great interest. Oh what the hell. Joining the pups, Meg watched on as Jo flipped Maria on her back and pushed her face to the floor.

Hands like Houses-One hundred

Hold your breath, baby.
We have to make our hearts sit still.
Hold your tongue, honey,
The things we know could unleash hell.

"What's that deal with all that noise?"

Time seemed to stop as Sei's voice carried down stairs. Pushing Jo off and rising to her feet, Maria looked up only to see Sei standing at the top of the stair case.

"Oh my….."

Towel wrapped tightly around her damp body, hair slightly wet, and thin glasses resting on the bridge of her nose, Sei stared down at the group below while they stared back up.

"Meg, Jo! What took you guys so long? Oh and I see you brought guest." On cue both Bella and Steel barked a greeting.

"Haha cute ones at that." Making her way down stairs Maria couldn't take her eyes off her and apparently neither could Jo and Meg. I mean who could? Sei's massive chest bounced with each step she took and her towel didn't even reach mid-thigh.

'Mhmm this could work for my advantage' Jo made her way silently to Megs side. Glancing over at Meg only to meet blue eyes.

'Guess we're thinking the same thing. Time to get these two a little 'closer' together.

Patch me up, my skin is so tight around my chest, my heart is leaping out.
I feel my imagination playing like a movie in my eyes, It's got me firmly by the sleeve.

"Damn Sei if I would of know that you were coming down like that, I would of made sure that Maria was-"

"Nothing! Umm *cough* I mean Jo was just about to say that I should be getting that fire place started. Right Jo?" Maria said between clinched teeth as she glared daggers at Jo's head. Sei looked at Maria with amusement.

"Yea that is a good idea. If I would have known it was this cold down here I would have put on some clothes."

"No you're ok. Nothing we ALL haven't seen before. Right Maria?" Meg grinned, tuning to Maria only to see her blushing from ear to ear.

Sei walked over to Maria, which made her take a step back. Clenching her eyes shut as she felt fingers run down her cheek she couldn't help but shudder.

"You ok babe? You look kind of flush." A pained groan was her only reply.

Jo turned to Meg and couldn't help the small chuckle that pass between her lips. Instead of Maria looking like she was in pure heaven, it looked like she was in hell. Fingers digging into her palms turning them white, they could tell that she was holding back. Having the girl of your dreams that close and not being able to touch them was hell in itself. And Sei calling her 'babe' wasn't making it any better. Damn you're good Sei

"Umm y-yea I'm ok. Just kinda- "Maria open her eyes coming face to face with blue-grey eyes.

"Just kinda what?" Sei whispered leaning in closer to inspect Maria's glowing face, breast pressing against Maria's.

"Ha time to put this plan into action."

"Alright big fella I'm gona need your help for this." Reaching down to pet Steel head to get his attention, Jo turned to see Maria and Sei were still busy then looked over at her Meg. Time to play.

"Come on Meg let's leave these two love birds alone." Getting no reaction Jo led the three toward the den and 'trip' over Steel.

"Oh shit!" Reaching over for something to break her fall, Jo grabbed the one thing her eyes been set on since seeing Sei. Her towel.

"Eke." Sei gave a small squeal in surprise as she felt the towel drop to the floor and a cold hand push on her back.

Oh yea, and for extra measures, Jo decided to give her a little push.

"Damn it" Maria let out a pained groan as she felt her back hit the floor. Cracking an eye open, all she could see was the top of Sei's head. She didn't seem to realize a distinctly familiar towel laying a few inches beside her.

"You ok Sei?" All she got was a groan.

"Yea thanks for breaking my fall by the way." Sei raised her body up slightly, hovering over Maria as her long silky hair seems to create a barrier around the two.

"Yea no pr-problem…" Finally noticing the state Sei was in, Maria's body seemed to lock up and shut down.

Hold your breath baby, we have to make our hearts sit still.
I swear they're beating so loud that anyone could tell
We're keeping every thought to ourselves in case we mention how we feel.
Hold your tongue honey, the things we know could unleash hell.

"Maria, Maria? You're stuttering again babe." Sei chuckled. It seemed like Sei wasn't going to move any time soon.

"U-ummm you're n-naked… and naked?" Oh man I can see her everything. O dear lord she has pretty nipples…im such a fucking girl right now. NO. Focus…FFUUCCKK.

"Hello Maria? You still there?" Snapping out of daze only to see Sei straddling her waist. Hearing snickers behind her; she felt a pout tug on her lips. (Our gang sure pouts a lot huh)

'Ugh stupid Jo, stupid Meg.'

"Awww no need to pout babe." Leaning down slowly to draw Maria full lip between hers, Sei gave a soft moan of affection. Drawing back she saw Maria eyes grow bigger by the second, mouth gaping open.

"Damn. Go Sei." Meg nodded her head in agreement. But Knowing that they should really give these two some privacy, she grabbed Jo wrist and pulled her along. The pups ran off a while ago. The faster they round them up the better.

"Well are you going to say something?" Sei shifted my side to side, apparently trying to get more situated.

Waiting for a reply that never came, she started to have second thoughts. Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

"You know what, maybe this wasn't my best idea." Mumbling, Sei rocked her body back onto her balls of her feet when she was suddenly stopped by a pair of firms hands on her thighs.

"No, No I mean, this isn't a bad idea. Far from it actually. Just wow."

"Mhmm wow huh?" Grabbing Maria's wrist and pinning them above her head, Sei pressed her whole body against hers.

"Umm yea. We've known each other for years and you never did anything like this before." Maria was trying with all her power to keep her eyes above Sei's neck.

"Mhmm only because you're just so dense. I dropped too many hints and you didn't catch any of them. I've been trying to get your attention for months now."

"Months?" "Ha ok ok so maybe it was way longer than that."

"Ha much better. Because that means I can say that I've wanted you since Jr. High" Maria gently ran her finger tips up and down Sei's legs, happy when she saw her shudder. Now that they seemed to be on the same page, she wanted nothing more than to see where this was leading to. Even though inside she was a nervous wreck. Ugh I'm acting like a fucking virgin.

"Oh really? So why didn't you just come out and say it? We could have just saved ourselves the trouble and just got better acquainted with one another." Sei placed a chaste kiss on her neck.

"Because you were 'The Sei'. One of my best buds and also the straightest..." Maria frowned at the thought. She always suspected her to be at least bi-curious. The teasing and hand holding. Maria told herself that she would only associate with female that knew themselves. She seen and experience the risk with girls like Sei but with her….she wanted what Jo and Meg hade. The soft loving looks, the kisses, the family. It was moving way too fast for her liking but she wanted all that with Sei.

"Hey look at me." Maria stared back at firm eyes.

"I know your preferences with girl. I see you dating countless of them or just using them as a quick fuck. But this is me Maria saying that I want to be part of your life. Your personal life. I want to kiss you out in the open and be the one that you fall asleep next to late at night. Damn Maria I've never done this before but if you give this a chance, no…..if you give US a chance then I promise that this won't be a mistake. I want to be with you…"

'Damn this is too good to be true'

I see your imagination shimmer in the way that you move,
Hardly afraid that anyone could see.
We're caught up in the moment, it's got us now, and you've got me by the collar.
What are you waiting for?

Pull me in.

"So what do you say babe? Can I be your one and only gurl?" Sei soon found herself being pressed on her back, soft lips pressed firmly against hers. Smiling into the kiss, Sei wrapped her arms around Maria's neck and pulled her closer.

We saw the warning signs too late, and we're too far gone.
Please don't remind me of reality now,
I've been pretending for days by now,
My god, it must have been days

Pulling back, Maria rested her forehead against Sei's. Unable to wipe the goofy smile off her face, Maria held onto Sei even tighter. Ladies and Gentlemen, Maria finally got her girl.

"Haha I think your 'friend' is getting a little bit happy babe." Sei laughed when she seen Maria blush come back ten-fold.

"Yea not the first time." After leaning in for another kiss, Maria rose to her feet with Sei still in her arms.

"As much as I would love to finish this, we have to get back to Meg and Jo. Remember what happened last time." Laughing when Maria shuddered and made Gagging noises, she nuzzled her nose in the crock of Maria's neck.

"It wasn't that bad." Maria looked back at her like she was delusional.

"Not bad. My damn eyes were bleeding. Did NOT need to know how flexible Meg was. Ugh it was like watching a freaky mutant devouring a baby bird or something."

Shaking her head her description of Jo, Sei reached down to pinch Maria's ass.

"Ouch! You-" "Yea I know what I pinched genius. Only you could come up with something like that…Well you and Jo can come up with some ridiculous things actually. Disturbing things."

"A gift that me and my bro both cherish mi'lady."

"Ha you're such a dork. Come on put me down. I need to get dress." Sei unwrapped her legs from around Maria's waist. Making sure to rub herself just right against Maria sculpture stomach.

"*Cough* Umm y-yea ok you do that." Maria swallowed deeply as Sei let out a throaty laugh.

"Yea ill just do that." Bending over to grab her towel, Maria having a mental meltdown behind her, Sei made her way up the stair case. Ass switching and shaking with each step.

Watching her until she disappeared down the hall, reality seemed to hit Maria in the face. Sei was her girl now. They kiss. She saw her goods. She felt her goods.

Grinning from ear to ear she finally made her way to the den. Breathing out a sigh of relief. Jo and Meg still had clothes on. Good sign. In fact with the cozy fire going, all four looked more relaxed that anything. Meg leaning back in Jo's arms with the pups dozing off by their feet.

Sensing somebody standing at the door way Jo looked over to see Maria wearing a content smile. Wrapping her arms tighter around Megs sleeping form, Jo got more comfortable as Maria took a seat on the spare couch.

"So I'm guessing everything went ok huh." Jo had to hand it to Maria. Waiting this long for any girl was a miracle in itself. But she couldn't complain though. Something told her that Sei and Maria were meant to be together. Just look at herself and Meg. Either one could of chosen anyone else but the wanted each other. Five years later. Having a family, a kid on the way and experiencing more happiness each day. If this is what it feel like being soft then what the hell. Maria and Jo were just going to be two softest together.

"Yea it went better than expected. Jo...I really can see myself falling in love with this girl. When did we start seeing things so different?" Maria laid her head back, arms thrown across her eyes.

"Ha it all happened when we met these two. Girls that were untouchable. Girls that actually made us want to be in a committed relationship and gave a damn about anyone else. Always wanting to provide and protect them. Haha look at us. Sounding like one of those love struck kids and not giving a damn about it."

"Yea can't say that I really care either. Maybe it was just time to give up that entire BS."

"Soooooo love huh?" Maria cracked at eye open to see Jo giving her a genuine smile.

"Yea Jo…love."

"Hearing soft footsteps Jo and Maria turned to see Sei wearing one of Maria long t-shirt that reached mid-thigh.

"So did I miss anything?" Sei made her way over to lay with Maria. Laying her head on her chest and getting comfortable both let out a content sigh.

"Mhmm not much really. Maria just told me that you two are finally made it official. About damn time if you ask me." Jo grinned toward Maria and Sei direction.

"Ha well gee thanks. Bubble butt over here wouldn't make the first move so I decided that I had to." Sei smiled sweetly at her babe.

"Ya know, under different circumstances I if would argue about that...even though it's true *couch*, but for right now I'm just happy that you're mine and we finally got our girls." Leaning down to place a kiss on Sei's head.

"Yea, nothing can't beat this." Jo ran her hands over Meg stomach.

"Yea, nothing at all." Maria squeezed Sei tighter, who was slowly falling asleep.

"I gota say bro, we did good."

"Hell yea we did. Now all we have to do now is wait for you to knock up Sei and then we're in business." Maria bolted upright, forgetting about the weight pressing down on her chest. Holding her breath while waiting for Sei to get back situated, Maria turned to glare at Jo who was quietly laughing to herself.

"Really, ass wipe?"

"Yea you're right. Maybe the term impregnate is a better way to say it." Maria stared back in bewilderment.

"Haha ok ok I'm just joking man. Or am I?" Wiggling her eyes brow from left to right, Maria rolled her eyes, letting a smile tug on her lips.

"You're unbelievable Jo."

"Yea but that's why you love me." Jo batted her eye lashes.

"Ha Yea yea whatever. Now go to sleep."

"Ha night….but you have to admit, even I have to say yall would have some pretty adorable kids.

"Jo!"

I see your imagination shimmer in the way that you move,
Hardly afraid that anyone could see.
We're caught up in the moment, it's got us now, and you've got me by the collar.
What are you waiting for?

Pull me in.

XxX
