Chapter 2
The next morning Olivia woke to a finger poking her face causing her to open her eyes and smile. Emma sat next to her on the bed giggling while she poked her. Emma leaned toward her and whispered. "Why are you in Natalia's room and why is she still sleeping. She always wakes up first. Is she sick?"
Olivia looked down at her still sleeping love whispering back. "No baby she's not sick. She had a really long day yesterday and we had a sleepover. She's ok. Why don't you go and brush your teeth and get dressed while I get her up?"
Emma smiled brightly nodding as she kissed them both on the cheek before hopping off the bed and running out of the room.
Olivia chuckled and Natalia lifted her head, Emma's kiss and the bouncing of the bed as she jumped off waking her. "Was that Emma? Oh my goodness I over slept."
She tried to jump out of bed quickly but Olivia held her in place. "You didn't over sleep it's the weekend. She's fine for a minute."
She rolled them until Natalia was on her back and she was pressed into her side. Natalia smiled up at her and wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "Good morning."
Olivia smile and leaned down connecting their lips. "Good morning, I couldn't let you out of this bed until I got to tell you that."
Natalia smirked. "You just wanted a good morning kiss. Admit it."
Olivia chuckled leaning in and stealing another. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She just shook her head and attempted to move. "Well, in that case you don't get anymore and I need to get up."
Olivia quickly pinned her and kissed her breathless. "Ok fine you caught me. It's your fault though. If you weren't such a fantastic kisser I wouldn't feel the need to do it as often."
Natalia laughed and kissed her chin. "I wasn't complaining about the kisses, I was just making an observation."
She just shrugged. "Oh well in that case…" she leaned back in and kissed her again this time lovingly.
Natalia thread her fingers in silky locks and pulled her closer as their lips and tongues tangled together. She shifted and wrapped a leg around Olivia's pulling her closer. She moans into her mouth when her thigh inadvertently rubs against her core and Olivia groans at the wetness she feels.
Olivia leans up for a moment looking into her eye and she dives back in as Natalia pulls her back devouring each other. Olivia moved her leg again causing another moan and for Natalia to push into her harder. Olivia's eyes roll back in her head and she just takes all that Natalia is offering.
After a few more minutes Olivia pulls back slightly and they're panting trying to regain their composer. "We need to slow down before Emma comes in and see more then she needs to."
Natalia nods and pulls Olivia's head down to peck her lips and connect their foreheads. "I know." She took a big breath and pecked her lips again. "We need to get up anyway so I can make breakfast. Why don't you grab a shower while I get it started and check on her?"
She kissing her one last time and shifted to get up. "Sounds like a plan then at breakfast we can talk to Emma about coming home today and I can call the movers once we eat. We just have a couple of suitcases worth of stuff in the suite at the Beacon."
Natalia followed her out of the bed and wrapped her arms around her. "I like that plan. If all goes well be can have you home before dinner. Do you need my help packing at the Beacon? If you don't' I have some things here I need to get ready."
Olivia thought for a moment. "No, I think we can handle packing a few suitcases and I'll have the movers lift anything I can't. We'll probably leave a few changes of clothing there in case we need them. You should pack a small bag of things to leave there as well. You never know when we might get stuck in town."
"I'll do that and while you're gone I will put dinner in the crockpot and get things ready here. I also want to tell her about us if that's ok with you. I don't plan on not kissing you anymore and I don't want her to find out that way." She pushed up on her tiptoes and kissed her again.
Olivia pulled her closer. "I'm ok with that. I don't want her to find out that way either."
Natalia beamed at her with a quick peck to her nose then walked out putting her robe on calling for Emma.
Olivia watched her leave with a sigh of contentment and went to take her shower. When she came down she found them together at the stove making heart shaped pancakes. Emma bounced over to her and pulled her to her seat where coffee awaited her. "Look mommy, we made your coffee and were making banana pancakes."
Olivia chuckled as she sat. "I can see that. It looks so good."
Bounding back over to the stove Emma started a barrage of questions that Natalia answered patiently. Once the food was done they said grace and started eating. They made eye contact as they all finished and Olivia pushed her plate away. "Hey Em, we wanted to talk to you about a few things."
Emma looked up at her with apprehension. "You're not sick again are you?"
She reached over and caressed her face. "Oh no baby, I'm just fine. We wanted to talk to you about moving back in to the farm house."
Emma jump up and launched herself in to Natalia's arms. "Can we really come home?"
Laughing at the bundle of energy in her arms she smiled hugging her tightly. "Yes Emma, I want you both to come home."
Emma squealed hugging her tightly then jumped down and into Olivia's lap. "We really get to come home mommy. Oh my gosh this is so awesome. We need to call the truck people mommy. When can we come home?"
Olivia put her hands on her shoulders to try and stop the bouncing. "Calm down Bean. I will call them in a little bit, we're going to go to the Beacon and get our stuff and come home today."
Emma let out an ear splitting screech and hugged her tighter. "Thank you, thank you, thank you mommy." She went back to Natalia and crawled into her lap, slowing her movement then pulled her face down level with hers to look in her eyes speaking softly. "Thank you Ma. I missed you so much."
Her little lip quivered and Natalia pulled her in holding her close. "Oh my baby I missed you too, so so much but now you're coming home and I'm never letting you or your mommy go ever again."
Emma kissed her cheek and burrowed into her while Olivia leaned over and wiped the tears from both their eyes. Once they calmed again Olivia cupped Emma's cheek. "There was something else we needed to talk to you about."
Emma sat up and gave her attention looking back and forth between them. Olivia took a deep breath, "Do you remember when you wrote your My Two Mommies report?"
Emma nodded looking at her like she was crazy to think she'd forget. Natalia chuckled at the look. "Well, like we talked about before there are lots of different kinds of families. Ones with a mommy and a daddy like Jody and Derek. There are also ones like Ms. Jennings brother and his husband that came to help set up for your play with their son."
Emma shrugged, "I know. His name was Aaron and he had two daddies like I have to mommies."
Olivia smile. "Exactly, do you understand what that means though? It means that like Jody's mommy and daddy they kiss each other and love each other very much. They will live their whole lives together and be a family."
Emma nodded happily. "I know."
Natalia kissed her temple. "Well, we are going to be like that now too."
Emma looked confused then looked sad. "I thought we already were. I don't know why you were trying to marry Uncle Frank but I'm glad you didn't cause it means that we aren't sad anymore and that mommy and me can come home to our family. Right? We were always a family like that but you got confused or something."
Olivia smiled at their daughter's intelligence and Natalia just held her closer. "You are absolutely right. I did get confused but I'm not anymore and we can be together like we always should have been. No more being apart."
Olivia sighed in relief, she still needed to talk to Ava but at least one of them so far was ok with them. "So, it won't bother you if you see us kissing?"
Emma tapped her finger on her check looking deep in thought. "I don't think so. Why don't you kiss now and let me see?"
The both chuckled and leaned in over her to kiss sweetly and chastely. When they pulled back Emma was deep in thought again. "Well it was kinda icky but all grown up kisses are icky so I guess I can deal with it." She said in mock seriousness before laughing.
Olivia and Natalia laughed along and grabbed her tickling until she surrendered. The rest of their morning was spent on the phone for Olivia, while Natalia and Emma cleaned up breakfast. Olivia and Emma left shortly after to get their things together at the Beacon and after putting dinner in the crockpot Natalia cleaned out half her closet, moved the dresser out of Olivia's old room into her room along with her night stand, lamp and alarm clock.
She had already moved the bed out of her room into the hall and was wrestling with the bigger bed out of Olivia's old room when a voice behind her startled her and she almost fell with it.
Frank moved to her quickly steading her. "What in the world are you doing?"
Natalia regained her bearings and pushed against him to move him away from her. "I was cleaning and moving some things around. What are you doing in here, why didn't you knock? We've talked about this Frank."
He held up his hands and stepped back. "I've been knocking for about thirty minutes and you weren't answering your phone. I got worried and the door was opened so I came in to make sure you were ok, nothing more."
Natalia nodded. "Ok thank you but as you can see I'm perfectly fine. I was just busy and didn't hear the door or my phone, hold on a minute." She held up a hand as she went into the bedroom to grab her phone. She didn't realize she had it on silent so she turned the ringer back on and dialed Olivia.
Olivia picked up on the first ring. "Hey are you ok? I've called 4 times I was about to come home and check on you."
Natalia sighed. "I'm sorry honey I didn't realize my phone was on silent until Frank showed up and said he called."
Olivia let out a relieved breath. "As long as you're ok. What did Frank need, is Rafe ok?"
"I don't know yet, I went to check my phone after he told me he called and I didn't hear it. I saw your missed calls and knew you'd worry."
"Ok baby, I was calling to see if I need to bring anything when we come home. We should be leaving in about 20 minutes now. How are things there, did you get finished?"
Natalia smile, "Almost, I should be done soon. You can bring some vanilla and chocolate ice cream we're out. I promised Emma Sundays after dinner."
"Ok sweetheart, I'll see you soon. I love you."
"I love you too baby, see you in a bit. Bye." She hung up walking out of the room. "Sorry my phone was on silent somehow and I had 4 missed calls from Olivia. What brings you here Frank is Rafe ok?"
Frank just shook his head. "Not really, that's what I came to talk to you about. Let me help you finish moving that and we can talk."
Natalia looked at the bed and sighed. "I don't think…"
Frank smiled. "Hey I can help my friend move a bed. Come on."
Shrugging she followed him and they got both beds put in their new spots. Frank stood and looked around the room realizing it was Natalia's noticed that half of it was empty. "Oh please tell me you aren't moving things around for her to move back in."
Natalia sighed. "My love life is off limits Frank. Let's go down and I'll get you some ice tea as a thank you for your help."
They sat at the table and Frank sighed. "I think you need to concentrate on Rafe right now Natalia. He is not taking this well at all. He was like a zombie last night and barely spook today. He left a few hours ago saying he was going for a run."
Natalia sat back and just breathed for a moment. "I am thinking of him Frank. He needs to understand that this isn't going to change. I'm not going to just stop loving her and push her out of my life."
Frank shook his head. "Why, that's what you did to me?"
Natalia sighed. "No Frank it's not. I never loved you the way you deserved. I was running from my feelings for Olivia for so long and you got caught in the cross fire. I am so sorry that I put you through all of that but I am not sorry that I ended it before it went totally too far."
Frank held up a hand. "I know, I know but this is your son Natalia. This is too much for him."
Natalia shook her head. "I love my son more than life itself and I would give him the world if I could but I will not give up my love for Olivia and Emma. I know my son and when he has time to think about this and understand that this isn't a game that I'm serious about this he will come around."
Frank sighed. "You didn't see him last night Natalia..."
She held up a hand stopping him. "Last night he was quiet and spouted off random things that made no sense. This morning he told you the bare minimum of what happened only because you asked and he felt obligated to tell you since you let him stay with you and then he left on a run. That is my son processing."
Frank sat forward exasperated speaking to her in that condescending tone she hated. "You need to think about this and what it is doing to him Natalia. Stop being selfish and think of your son for once."
Natalia stood slamming her hands on the table. "You don't get to come into my house and tell me what to do and accuse me of being a bad parent. I have lived his whole life thinking of only my son but he is an adult now and I have a right to have a life of my own."
Taking a breath she turned away from him. "You have no idea the trials I went through raising him and I would do it all again in a heartbeat just to have the joy of being his mother." She spun back around and glared at him, "so don't you sit in my home and tell me I'm selfish because I want to be loved. I deserve a little happiness in my life for a change damn it and you need to leave."
Frank shook his head and started to speak, "Look…" but was cut off
"She asked you to leave and I think now would be a good time to do that Frankie." Olivia moved in and up next to Natalia who leaned into her shaking.
Frank stood getting more upset. "You don't get a say. This is her house."
Olivia just shook her head. "Oh Frankie, as of yesterday it is my house too and I will call your buddies down at the station and tell that you are trespassing on our property if you don't leave like she asked. Right. Now."
He looked to Natalia who just squared her shoulders and nodded along with what Olivia was saying. "This isn't going to end well for you Natalia. Rafe will never accept this."
Natalia stood firm. "You don't know my son and I better not find out you've been poisoning his head either. He has enough on his mind without your crap too."
Frank tuned and stormed out of the house and Natalia deflated and melted into Olivia. "God is it ever going to end. I know I hurt him but he needs to let it go. It's been months and he never really loved me anyway, just the idea of me."
Olivia pulled her close and kissed her softly. "He'll get over it eventually and I don't think he'd poison Rafe against you. He loves him too much to hurt him or you. Now me, he may poison him against, but we will deal with it."
Kissing her one more time she guided her toward the door. "Right now we have an over eager little girl in the car, a full delivery truck and movers awaiting your instructions."
Natalia bounced in place and kissed her soundly before bounding out the door. She had better things to do then worry about Frank Cooper.
