"Baby Girl are you ready to go?" Wynonna calls from the hallway. Inside the Black Badge office Waverly lifts her head from Nicole's shoulder but neither of the couple looses their arms that are wrapped around each other.

"Yep," she calls back before lowering her voice "I guess it's time I wasn't here." Waverly drops her forehead back to Nicole's shoulder with a sigh.

"I guess so." Nicole says lifting Waverly's chin and placing a quick kiss on her lips.

"Goodnight." Waverly says kissing her deeply before pulling away to an arms length.

"Goodnight." Nicole whispers and places a light kiss on Waverly's hand before dropping it as Waverly backs away towards the door. Nicole leans back on the table as Waverly reaches the door and gives her a small wave and Nicole whispers "bye" before she disappears out the door. Nicole smiles at the door for a few moments before standing up and picking up her hat and jacket from the table ready to go home for the night. She leaves the office locking it behind her and making her way down the hallway. As she rounds the corner she sees a blur but doesn't have enough time to react before someone crashes into her. Nicole stumbles a few steps back before steadying herself and catching Waverly before she falls.

"Seems like you can't get enough of me." Nicole smirks.

"Oh, sorry I'll just go then." Waverly says starting to pull away up Nicole doesn't fully let her.

"Waves I'm joking, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just, do you want to stay over at the homestead tonight? It just been a crazy day with everything with Willa, you getting shot and then the whole getting possessed thing. We nearly lost each other today and we haven't really had much proper time together without all these interruptions and things getting in the way. So much has happened in the last 24 hours and I just don't want to let you go just yet." Waverly babbles.

"Your adorable when you babble, you know that," Nicole says placing a quick kiss on Waverly's forehead "And there is no place I would rather be then with you tonight."

"Great," Waverly smiles and grabs Nicole's Stetson and places it on her head "let's go then" Officer." she winks before turning around and heading for the parking lot, Nicole chuckles and follows.

"Good book?" Nicole asks as she crawls on to the bed next to Waverly.

"Yeah it's pretty interesting," she replies marking her page and placing the book on the bedside table "Good shower?" She asks as she rolls over to face Nicole.

"Yeah it's amazing what a hot shower will do." Nicole sighs then leans over and places a kiss on Waverly's lips and lays down. Nicole's singlet shifts during the movement and Waverly catches sight of the bruise forming on her chest. Waverly gently moves the singlet to get a better look at the bruise.

"Does it hurt?" Waverly quietly asks.

"A little." Nicole answers tucking a few stray hairs behind Waverly's ear.

"Do you need some pain killers or an ice pack?" Waverly asks sitting up.

"All I need is right here." Nicole says pulling Waverly back down into her arms next to her and kissing the top of her head. Waverly tilts her head up to meet her lips. After a few moments Nicole pulls back a little resting her forehead on Waverly's "that helps." She hums.

"Really?" Waverly questions before kissing her again.

"Feels better already." Nicole murmurs when they break apart for air and they both chuckle. Waverly gently runs her finger along the visible edge of the bruise turning quiet and serious.

"I'm so sorry that she did this to you and that you got dragged into all this craziness." Waverly says voice full of sorrow.

"It's okay Waves, its all okay now." Nicole says laying her hand on top of Waverly's covering the bruise and running the other soothingly up and down her back. From where her hand is on Nicole's chest Waverly can feel the faint beat of her heart. They lay like that for a few minutes nearly drifting off into sleep.

"Hey Waves," Nicole kisses the top of Waverly's head and she hums in acknowledgment "I know things were pretty stressful before and emotions were running high, but you said something and you might not have meant it and that's okay, but I just want you to know I love you too."

Waverly chuckles "I thought I was meant to be the one that babbles." Nicole laughs.

"Yeah you are and you do it a lot cuter than me." Waverly moves and lightly kisses Nicole.

"I did mean it," she kisses her again "I love you Nicole." The couple begin to make out until Waverly pulls away and releases a yawn.

"Come on Baby, it's been a big day let's get some sleep. I don't know how you do it but I need my beauty sleep to look this good." Nicole jokes as she turns off the lamp beside the bed and settles back into the bed as Waverly cuddles up beside her.

"I think you're Haught enough the way you are." Waverly jokes and they both chuckle.

"That was terrible Waverly Earp. Goodnight." Nicole says kissing her softly.

"Goodnight Officer Haught." Waverly murmurs before drifting off to sleep.
