Misty made her way outside at the exact time that the woman pulled up in front of her house. Cordelia looked worried and mad and the girl slid into her passenger seat. The woman reached and pulled the girl's hand back from where it was holding the cloth to the cut, "Misty, baby," She met blue eyes and Misty nodded, "I should go in there and kick his ass," Misty grinned slightly at her and leaned forward to press a kiss to her cheek.

"My little protector," Cordelia grabbed the girl's free hand and held it as she pulled away from the house. She held her hand as she made the short drive back to her own home and the two of them got out and made their way up to the house.

"Everything is up in my bedroom. I'll be right there, mouse," She nodded and made her way to the stairs. Cordelia stepped into the kitchen and grabbed what she needed before walking up the stairs too. She stepped into the room and saw Misty there looking down at her bedside table where she had sat everything. The girl turned around when she heard her come in, "Lay down," Misty looked down and grimaced before looking back up.

"Your sheets are white," Cordelia nodded confusedly, "I'm bleedin'," She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I don't care, sweet heart," Misty looked uncertain and Cordelia stepped forward and pushed her gently to sit on the bed, "Lay down on your back please?" She nodded and did as she was told while holding the cloth to her head still. Cordelia sat down beside her on the edge of the bed and pulled the cloth away. She cleaned the cut out gently and pressed a kiss to Misty's nose when she hissed at the cleaning contact, "I'm sorry, baby," The girl just nodded and Cordelia got up and moved to straddle her so she could be above her face. She grabbed the needle she'd sat out and looked down at the girl, "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Cordelia nodded and made the first stitch. Misty squirmed slightly and Cordelia tried to do the work as quickly as she could. When she finished, she leaned to put everything back and looked down at the girl. Cordelia leaned down and pressed tender kisses along the cut and pulled back to see the girl smiling up at her, "Thanks."

"You're welcome. I hope I never have to do it again though, mouse," The girl nodded and Cordelia stood to grab what she had gotten from the kitchen. Misty laughed when she climbed onto the bed to straddle her again and opened the container of ice cream. She spooned a bite, "Open," Misty giggled but opened her mouth and allowed the woman to feed her a bite, "You were a very good patient."

"Gee, thanks," Cordelia laughed and spooned another bite to feed the girl. Misty reached for the spoon and Cordelia handed it to her. She spooned a bite and held it up to the woman who grinned and accepted it. Misty grabbed the ice cream and sat it and the spoon on the bedside table before pulling the woman down to hug her. Cordelia laid down on top of the girl and Misty wrapped her arms around her back. She felt the woman lay her cheek down on her chest and pressed a kiss into soft blonde hair, "You're the best."

Cordelia nuzzled her nose into the girl's neck and Misty giggled down at her, "Nope. You are," Misty grinned and hugged the woman even tighter to her. She thought and bit her lip.

"Do ya think my leggin's look bad on me?" Cordelia pulled back to look at her strangely. The girl just looked at her though and she looked down at her.

"No. I think they look great on you," Misty nodded, "Why?"

"Oh. Umm, my dad made some comment about 'em bein' too tight and that I shouldn't wear 'em," Cordelia shook her head and leaned back down. She pressed her lips to Misty's before rolling to lie beside her and hug her to her.

"No, baby. You look great in them. Your legs are to die for and if you don't mind me saying, your ass is killer," Misty blushed and the woman pressed a kiss to her cheek, "I don't know why he would tell you that but I'm sure you look good in whatever you put on," Misty smiled and thanked her, "You don't have to thank me for being honest with you, mouse."

Misty rolled and wrapped her arms around the woman's waist. She pressed a kiss to the woman's lips and deepened it when the woman sighed happily into her mouth. She moaned at the taste of the woman and felt Cordelia trail kisses away from her mouth and along her jaw. She stopped at her ear and bit down softly on the lobe causing Misty to gasp, "Did you like that, baby?" Misty nodded and Cordelia ran her tongue along the girl's ear before trailing her kisses back to Misty's lips. She pecked the girl's lips again before pulling back to look into blue eyes, "I mean it, Misty. You're so damn gorgeous."

"Thanks, 'Delia. But you're the gorgeous one here," The woman just shook her head before resting her forehead against Misty's. She grinned at her and pressed a kiss to her nose bringing forth a giggle from the girl.

"Is there any way I can talk you into staying here tonight?" Misty bit her lip as she looked at the woman, "I'm sorry. I just hate to send you home already injured," The girl nodded and nuzzled her nose into the woman's neck.

"I think that can be arranged."

oooOOooOOooo

Misty waited until the time that her parents would be gone before getting up off the woman's couch. Cordelia looked up in confusion and the girl bent and pressed a kiss to her cheek, "I'll be back in a few minutes," She nodded and grabbed the girl's hand with a worried expression on her face, "They're not home, and I have ya on speed dial by now," Cordelia grinned and nodded before letting the girl go.

Misty made her way home quickly and grabbed her bag for school as well as clothes for the next day. She looked around to make sure she had everything before making her way back to the woman's house. She stepped back into the house and could hear bath water running upstairs. She grinned to herself and put her book bag down near the door and made her way up the stairs to the woman's bedroom. She put her bag down and laid down across the woman's bed.

"Misty?"

"It's me," She heard the woman shift and turn the water off.

"Come here, mouse," Misty bit her lip nervously and didn't move. Cordelia must have been thinking the same thing, "You can't see anything, baby. There are bubbles," Misty stood and walked over to the bathroom. She pushed the door open and stepped inside tentatively, "Everything okay?" Misty nodded and jumped up onto the sink counter to look down at the woman. She swung her legs back and forth and the woman grinned up at her. She looked over when movement caught her eye and saw Rhiannon walk in the room too.

The cat made her way over to the tub and jumped up on the ledge of it, "You know you didn't like the water the last time you fell in," The cat was pawing at the water now and Misty giggled from her place on the counter, "Suit yourself, fluff ball," The cat was now leaning precariously over the ledge of the tub and Misty got up and grabbed her before she fell in, "She needs to learn, Misty."

"She's too cute ta have ta be miserable 'cause she's wet," Cordelia rolled her eyes playfully as Misty walked back into her bed room and laid down on the bed with the cat settled on top of her. Cordelia grinned at her and Misty smiled before the cat bopped her on the nose and she giggled at her, "Excuse me for payin' some attention ta your mommy," Cordelia laughed and stood before grabbing a towel to wrap around her. She walked out into the bedroom and grinned at the two of them before making her way into her closet. She came back out dressed in soft sleep shorts and an old Fleetwood Mac t-shirt. Misty grinned up at her as she sat on the edge of the bed beside her.

"What do you want for dinner, mouse?" Misty looked up at her.

"Ya know, ya don't have ta keep feedin' me," Cordelia grinned and leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead.

"I know I don't have to do anything, Misty. I love having you here and I love doing things with you," Misty nodded, "So, what do you want for dinner, mouse?" Misty smiled and sat up. Rhiannon meowed between them and she looked down at her, "We'll feed you too, Rhi," Misty giggled and leaned in to kiss Cordelia sweetly.

oooOOooOOooo

Cordelia got up from the couch when she heard the girl yawn for the second time. Misty pouted up at her and Cordelia giggled before holding her hand out, "Come on, baby. We can cuddle upstairs. You're tired," Misty finally nodded and grabbed the woman's hand. Cordelia led her up the stairs and into her bedroom. She guided her into the bed and slipped in beside her.

Misty scooted into the woman's arms and wrapped her own around Cordelia's waist. The wild blonde grinned and nuzzled her nose into Cordelia's causing the woman's to laugh before she did the same thing back to the girl, "Good night, Misty mouse."

"Good night, 'Delia," Cordelia smiled at her sleepy reply and ran her fingers through wild curls as the girl fell asleep in her arms. She just grinned wider and pressed a kiss into curly blonde hair before closing her eyes to fall asleep as well.

oooOOooOOooo

Misty groaned when she heard the woman's alarm, "No, turn it off," She heard Cordelia laugh at her whine and pulled the woman back into her arms after she shifted away from her to shut it off, "Thanks," Cordelia pressed a kiss into her hair.

"You still have to get up, mouse," Misty shook her head and nuzzled her face into the woman's neck, "We have school, baby."

"I don't wanna," Cordelia giggled, "I just wanna stay here with ya in my arms all day," Cordelia felt her heart skip a beat and pressed her lips to the girl's. She felt Misty's reply immediately as she kissed her back.

"As wonderful as that sounds, you know we have to get up, sweet heart," Misty nodded but tightened her arms around the woman and pressed a kiss into her neck, "Well, what's ten more minutes going to hurt?"
