A/N: All of the songs in this chapter are real. There are two "mature audience" type of scenes in this chapter. Just wanted to give you a friendly heads up.
I hope you enjoy this one. I think my next chapter will be the end, but I'm not sure.
Hope you enjoy this!
Always Me & You
Chapter 19
They kissed passionately as the car drove back to the hotel for their reception. Once inside the lobby, they both took pictures with their party. Naya went first.
"Come here, Young Lady!" Naya dragged Lauren over to the camera.
"You sure?"
"Absolutely. We need a 'first photo of our friendship'," Naya said, and smiled.
"When you get it, I want one to frame!" Lauren beamed.
"Definitely!"
Tracey got them to pose and the camera snapped the photo.
"May I suggest a pose?" Lauren asked.
"Of course!" Tracey said.
"Come here, Nay. Can you crouch down a little?"
Naya did one better and got on her knees.
"Ok, that'll work too…" Lauren then threw her arms around Naya and she threw her arms around Lauren. They both looked into the camera and smiled.
"Ready?"
"Yup!"
The camera exploded with flashing lights that made Lauren's vision blurry for a second afterward.
'Ok, who's next, Naya?"
"Di!"
"Here I am."
"We're up!" Naya said.
Tracey guided them and took a few different photos of Naya and Dianna.
Then it was Heather's turn with her two people. First she posed with Yolanda. They both knew what they were doing so there was no need for any direction. Yolanda asked for a picture with both of her daughters. She stood in the middle of Naya and Heather with her arm around each of them.
Then it was Jane's turn.
"Jane…." Heather asked because she didn't see her around.
"Yes, kiddo! I'm here."
"Ready?"
"Sure!" Jane said as she fixed her red pants suit.
Tracey suggested the poses and they both tried to give her what she asked for.
"Thanks."
"Naya, later we need to take a few with our entire family!" Heather noted.
"Good idea. Can we do that later, Tracey?" Naya asked.
"Sure!"
Just then the DJ started to play music and they heard him welcome everyone to the wedding.
"Get on your feet," the DJ excitedly demanded. "First we have for Naya, Lauren Potter and Dianna Agron!"
Dianna grabbed Lauren's hand and they danced their way into the restaurant. They went to one side of the aisle where Naya and Heather would walk.
"For Heather it is Jane Lynch and Yolanda Rivera!"
Jane and Yolanda danced into the room and then bowed. They moved across from Dianna and Lauren. They made sure they left enough space for Naya and Heather so they enter.
"Make some noise for Naya and Heather Rivera!"
The doors opened and Naya and Heather walked hand in hand into the room and down the little aisle. The thunderous applause kept going as Naya did the robot move and Heather did her signature "All the Single Ladies" move at the end of the aisle.
Once the excitement died down a little, the DJ asked for anyone who had any requests to let him know. Cory, Kevin, and Harry got on that line.
Naya and Heather sat down at their separate table. Heather sang, "My cup, my cup…Saying what's up to my cup, my cup!" Naya heard her sing this song and burst out in laughter as she remembered the time that Heather and Kevin sang the song in a hotel room when the cast went to New York City. Heather took a sip.
Naya leaned close to Heather and simply said, "Ahhh!" Heather smiled.
Then the shrimp cocktails started to arrive at the tables. Heather devoured hers within five minutes and turned to Naya and asked, "You gonna eat that?"
"Here you go my wife!" Naya beamed and placed a shrimp into Heather's mouth.
"Yum." Heather said and chewed the piece of seafood. Then she kissed Naya on the cheek.
Just then someone clanked their water glass with their fork and within a second everyone else did to tell them to kiss each other.
"KISS HER!" Cory yelled.
"Calm down, my friend," Naya responded and then took Heather's face within her hands and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.
After the appetizers were done, the DJ then got the audience's attention when he asked, "Who wants to see these two pretty ladies have their first dance?"
The guests went wild with applause, hoots, and hollers.
"Ok, Naya what's the name of the song?" the DJ asked and shoved the mike at her.
"It's called, 'Just You 'n Me' by Chicago!" Naya yelled, not really needed the mike.
As the DJ cued the song, Naya extended her hands out to Heather and pulled her into her body.
you are my love and my life,
you are my inspiration.
just you and me.
simple and free.
"You look so beautiful! I love the dress! Thank you for your special words for me during the ceremony! I hope you know how truly in love I am with you," Naya whispered as she held Heather in her arms.
baby your everything, i ever dreamed of.
yea, yea.
give me your own special smile,
promise you'll never leave me.
just you and me.
simple and free.
life is so easy, when your beside me.
oh girl.
"I love the suit too. Makes you look so sexy! Thank you for saying, 'I love you for the person you are right now and for the person I know that you will become in the future.' That was the most special part of the ceremony for me," Heather admitted.
Then Heather spun Naya out of her embrace without letting go of her hand and pulled her back in. Tracey captured that on film.
Then Naya and Heather motioned for others to join them on the dance floor. Dianna ran over to Lea and pulled her out onto the dance floor. Then Yolanda and George followed and Kevin and Crystal joined them too.
come hold me close, never release me.
oh, baby don't release me.
open your arms, let my love in.
let me in, let me in.
love me tonite, love me forever and ever.
you know i can't forget you.
you are my love and my life, you are my inspiration.
just you and me.
simple and free.
baby your everything, i've ever dreamed of.
yea, yea
After the dance was over, the applause grew louder and louder.
"Does anyone want to say a few words?" the DJ asked. Jane got up from her seat and walked over to the DJ and he handed her the mike.
"I just wanted to say that my wife, Lara, and I feel so honored to spend this special day with you, Heather and Naya. I remember, not too long ago, Heather, you sought me out because you needed to talk about 'the letter'. I could see the emotion you had for Naya immediately. I remember saying that Naya wants to love you doubly…Do you remember that?"
Heather nodded.
"Well, I truly feel that she won't just love you doubly…she'll love you triply! I can't wait to see what you two do in the many, many years ahead of you. I feel very happy to be able to spend this time with you. You both know, but I'd like to remind you that I am always here for you. Thank you!"
Heather got up and hugged Jane tightly.
"Anyone else wanna say a few words?" the DJ asked.
Then Lauren got up to speak. She walked over and took the mike from the DJ who smiled at her.
Lauren looked directly at Naya and started her speech by saying, "I want to tell you, Naya, the ways that you have impacted my life…"
Lauren saw Naya start to get emotional, but she kept going.
"You have helped my self esteem immensely. You have shown me that it's okay to be the person I am through your total acceptance of me. When I was going through school, I never felt like a 'cool kid' and I never thought I belonged at the 'cool table' at lunch. Because I know and am friends with you, I feel 'cool' and because of this I feel more secure in myself and in what I can accomplish. You really do make me a better person. Most importantly…you make me feel wanted when I'm in your presence. This is something new for me. You also make me feel like I matter. For all of this, I am and will forever be grateful to you. I will always be there for you, should you ever need someone. I look forward to the future of our friendship…But more importantly, I look forward to watching the wonderful things you two are bound to do and accomplish together…I love you, Nay…Thank you."
The room exploded again with thunderous applause. Naya got up from her seat and went over to Lauren and hugged her tightly.
After the hug ended, Naya crouched down a little to look Lauren directly in her eyes and said, "I will always be here for you! You got that?" Naya smiled and winked.
"I got it, trust me!" Lauren said and smiled widely. Then they turned around and walked back to their separate tables.
Just then Yolanda walked up to the DJ and he handed another microphone to her.
"From the very first time that Naya told us that she met a cool person at work and their friendship started to blossom, I just knew in my heart that we all would end up here today. Really! I did because Naya had so much excitement in her voice when she told us what Heather said to her that day or what how Heather acted out that scene at work…It was always 'Heather this…' or 'Heather that…' So when they called and told us that they had fallen in love with each other and that they wanted this day to happen I was over the moon, but not really surprised…"
The room exploded with laughter.
"So when Heather asked me to stand up for her, I was immediately humbled and there was no doubt in my mind not do it. She makes my daughter overly happy and loved. This in turn makes me, my husband, my daughter, and my son very happy. We don't have to worry anymore about Naya because she will be taken care of by her heart's true love, Heather. They will take care of each other. Heather, we love you so much! You are truly a member of the Rivera family."
Yolanda walked over to Heather and Naya and gave them each a hug while the applause went on.
"Anyone else?" the DJ asked.
"Yes…" Dianna said, stood up, and walked over to get her mike.
"Can one person have two best friends in this life? Well, I hope so because I have two in my life. One I have fallen in love with…"
Dianna looked over at Lea who almost choked on the diet soda that she was swallowing. Naya and Heather looked at each other and smiled.
"Then there's my other best friend, Naya. I know you've married your official best friend, but I'm hoping that she would allow me to be your other best friend…"
"If I have too!" Heather responded with a smile on her face. The crowd giggled.
"Well, anyway, Naya, you are just so sure about yourself and about the people you choose to love. You also have the ability to love with your whole heart. I have come to you on several occasions and the advice and wisdom you've given to me is just wonderful. I owe a lot to you. You helped me discover who I was in order to truly discover what love really is. There's isn't a day when I don't thank my lucky stars to have you in my life. You've got a friend for life. Oh, and HeMo, thanks for sharing her! I love you both! Thank you."
Naya got up from her seat and hugged Dianna tightly as the crowd clapped.
"Who's next?" the DJ asked.
Jeannie rose from her chair and the DJ gave her the mike to speak. She walked over to Heather and Naya's table and looked directly at them.
"When Heather first called us, her sisters and me, to tell us that she had fallen in love with Naya, I was, honestly, taken aback. I just didn't understand what this Naya had that Heather felt that no other person could offer her. To be brutally honest, I was not supportive and they knew it. After flying out to LA to Heather's apartment that weekend to meet Naya and help them move, I finally saw what Heather sees you in, Naya. I see the unwavering, unconditional love and support you have given to my daughter. I see the person you truly are, Naya, and she is magnificent! After you let me read the letter that started all of this, I knew you were the real deal. You are now a part of the Morris family, my dear! I truly love you for loving my daughter in the way I know you do. It's so evident to me now. I want to apologize to you, Heather, for not recognizing it when you first called us. I hope you know that I only had your best interest at heart. I know now that your best interest is Naya…Thank you!"
Naya and Heather got up from their table and gave their Mom a big group hug. While they were in the hug, Jeannie said, "I am truly sorry. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Of course, Mom!" Heather replied and kissed her on the cheek.
After the speeches were made the entrees came and the DJ played some dinner music. Some of the guests feasted on lobster and crab with mixed vegetables while others preferred a meaty chicken breast with rice and mixed vegetables. Naya had the crab and lobster while Heather opted for the chicken. They shared their meals anyway so each woman tried the other choice.
When dinner was over the DJ started to play some of the requested songs. When Lauren heard the first few notes of the "Chicken Dance" she shot out of her seat and onto the dance floor.
"I love the Chicken Dance!" She started the song by herself as she clapped her hands and wiggled her body. Tracey snapped a shot of her doing that. Then more guests came out to join her. Soon all of the guests were doing the dance. Lauren noticed Harry's version of the dance and she laughed.
"The next song is going to be Beyoncé's 'All the Single Ladies'," the DJ exclaimed.
Heather turned to Naya and said, "This is my jam!"
Heather got up and did the whole routine in front of people who couldn't help, but stare and cheer for her. Jeannie had never seen her daughter do the dance so she hollered her approval through the whole thing. She came out onto the dance floor and Heather taught her Mom some of the moves. This received thunderous applause.
"Now, we'll take it down a notch with 'I'll Always Love You' by Whitney Houston! If you're a part of a couple…or wanna be…grab that special person and drag them out there!" the DJ said, happily. He cued the song and soon they heard:
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
Lea found Dianna, extended her hand, and asked, "Would you care to dance?"
"Of course, my love!" Dianna said and grabbed Lea's hand. They then walked onto the dance floor with the other couples.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.
"Um, Di, did you really mean what you said in your speech?" Lea asked.
"What part?" Dianna swayed with Lea back and forth with the music.
"The part where you just threw it out there that you're in love with me?"
"I wasn't talking about you…" Dianna teased.
"Oh, wait…I'm confused!"
"Lea, I'm kidding! Yes, I meant it! You know I love you." Dianna said, as she pushed Lea under her raised arm and then back against her body.
"Whew! I almost fainted! I know, but I didn't know that you were that sure!" Lea said and playfully punched her in the arm.
"Well, since I basically came out for us, would you do me a big, huge favor?" Dianna asked.
"What's that?"
"Kiss me…"
"Right here on the dance floor, with everyone we know watching?"
"Yup! Something wrong with that?" Dianna smiled.
"Nope!" Lea said and reached up a little until their lips connected. They lingered in the kiss for a few minutes.
As Lauren and Harry waltzed by, Lauren winked and said, "Get a room!" and continued to dance away. Dianna and Lea smiled.
"OMG, Naya, look over there quick!" Heather screamed.
"What?" Then Naya saw what happened. Lea and Dianna had kissed in front of everyone they knew.
Naya then looked at Heather and said, "The two of us are trail blazers, huh?"
"It would appear so!" Heather said and then dipped Naya, which surprised her.
Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.
You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.
"I will always love you, my beautiful Naya!" Heather sang.
"I will always love you baby!" Naya sang louder.
Then the place got a lot louder with Usher's "Yeah" featuring Ludacris. Heather pulled Naya to where Harry was dancing his heart out. When Harry saw that Heather came by him to dance, they immediately started to club dance.
Conversation got heavy
She had me feelin' like she's ready to blow
(Watch out, watch out!)
She was saying, "Come get me"
(Come get me)
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her I said
Heather pulled Naya close to her and they started to grind together on the dance floor. They gyrated until the song ended.
Dot looked at them in amazement and said, "Wow! Music today isn't what it used to be!"
Afterward Tracey asked if Naya and Heather could meet her by the cake. It was a two tier white icing, chocolate filling cake with two brides sitting on top. It was placed next to the "Always Me & You" bubble lettered standing floral arrangement.
They took some pictures and then the DJ announced, "Cake time!" Everyone gathered around the couple and the cake. Naya and Heather sliced the first piece together so that Tracey could capture it on film and then each cut one.
"Feed it to her, HeMo!" Cory yelled.
Heather took a piece and pretended to feed it to her. At the last moment, Heather decided to "miss" and the cake splattered all over Naya's face. Heather whispered, "If they weren't watching us so closely I would have no problem licking that off of you."
"I'm sure you wouldn't!" Naya said and got ready for her turn to feed Heather.
"Go for it!" Kevin yelled and they all laughed.
Naya cut a small piece and raised her hand up to Heather's mouth, but threw it at her instead. Heather's face was covered in cake also. They all laughed again.
Then Naya pulled Heather in for a sweet, juicy, and messy kiss. This got the most applause and Tracey's camera worked over time. Soon the guests returned to the dance floor while Naya and Heather cleaned up. Naya purposely left a little icing on her nose. Heather noticed that, leaned down, and licked it off of her wife.
"You taste so good with icing…"
"We'll have to try that sometime!" Naya said and winked which made Heather blush.
"Hey Tracey could we take that family photo? And then a GLEE photo?"
"Sure…Family first." Tracey replied.
Naya walked up to the DJ and asked him to announce "family photos" in lobby.
After the announcement the entire Morris/Rivera family gathered in the lobby as requested. Naya's family was on Naya's side while Heather's family was on the other side of Heather. Tracey took a few good photos.
"Hey, Mom," Naya asked Yolanda. "Could you ask the DJ to announce all members of GLEE to come to the lobby for photos?"
"You got it!"
In about five minutes all of their GLEE family was in the lobby. Tracey asked for all the "older" GLEE members in the back and the "younger ones" in the front. Naya and Heather were in the middle.
"Ok, guys this one needs to be a serious, all smiles picture." Tracey said. She took that picture first.
"Ok, the next one you can do whatever you want…"
"You sure about that?" Kevin asked, with a devilish look on his face.
"Um, I hope so." Tracey responded, honestly. Everyone did a pose. Lea kissed Dianna on the cheek. Lauren threw her hands up in a "what's going on?" pose. Jane went to slap Matt as Jayma and Dot looked on with their hands covering their mouths. Ryan just laughed. Naya and Heather kissed. Chris acted like Kurt as he looked at his nails. Jenna and Harry stared at each other. Amber pretended to be singing. Kevin did a dance move. Cory had a stupid expression on his face.

"Thank you…that was pretty good. You can all go now!" Tracey said. They all took off like they were escaping from prison. Heather pulled Naya back onto the dance floor then they had the cake and the DJ played for another hour and a half.
"This song is written and sung by an up and coming New York based artist named Lori Michaels. The song is called, 'Unconditionally'," the DJ announced.
All my life I've wanted, just to be loved
without no limits or boundaries, to worry of.
Never thought that I would find, all that I'm looking for-
then you opened up my eyes-to a whole new world.
Will you love me unconditionally
Will you love me now and love me when things just don't go right
Will you give me- unconditionally-the trust that we both need-cause I believe in love...
unconditionally
Lea and Dianna danced very close together and they seemed to enjoy the song a lot.
"Hey, Lea?" Dianna asked.
"Yes, my heart."
"Are you listening to these lyrics?"
"Actually I am. Are you?"
"Yeah, I am. Would it be too early for us to declare this song as 'our' song?" Dianna asked with a hopeful smile.
"Not at all…You know why?"
"No, why?"
"Because I will love you unconditionally." Lea said and leaned up again for a sweet kiss.
"That's settled then…'Unconditionally' by Lori Michaels is our song! I'll Google her and buy the song on iTunes when we get home tomorrow. I'll copy one for you too." Dianna said triumphantly after the kiss stopped.
"Thank you. Kiss me again?" Lea asked.
Dianna leaned down and kissed her again gently, but purposefully on her supple lips as they continued to dance.
I know sometimes it seems like I just don't care
and I'll neglect you and hurt you by just one stare
but, we'll talk it out, we'll work it out together
cause all we know is that we are forever.
Won't you Tell me: Will you love me ...unconditionally
Will you love me now and love me when things just don't go right
Will you give me- unconditionally-the trust that we both need-cause I believe in love...
without the fairy tales. I just want what's real.
As the days go by & the seasons change, I just wanna feel that if I give you less than all that you deserve, can I still count on you-cause I'm so scared to lose you...
Will you love me unconditionally
Will you love me now and love me when things just don't go right
Will you give me unconditionally-the trust that we both need-
cause I believe in love...
unconditionally.
"Ok, the final song of tonight is 'You've Got a Friend' by the legendary Carole King!"
Within seconds, the song started.
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
The GLEE cast immediately ran over to Naya and Heather and pushed them into the middle of the circle that was created instantly around them.
They sang to the couple:
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
While they were in the huge circle which became bigger since everyone at the restaurant was included, Naya and Heather danced together. They felt so extremely happy to be finally married and have the support they did in the circle that was now singing and dancing around them
.
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
The circle ended and the large group separated into couples again.
Cory walked over to Jeannie and asked, "Would you care to dance?"
He extended his hand and Jeannie grabbed it. He escorted her to where Naya and Heather were dancing. When they saw him dancing with Heather's Mom, he laughed.
"Hey Mom…" Heather said as she and Naya moved closer to Cory and Jeannie.
"Yes, dear…"
"Call me if he gets handsy!"
Cory looked at Heather and blushed. Naya cackled.
"He won't!"
"How are you so sure?" Naya asked.
"Because I'd call his mother in a heartbeat!"
They all laughed hysterically.
"Alright, JeMo!" Heather teased. She high fived her mother who slapped her daughter's hand in return.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
Kevin and Crystal were also dancing and they seemed to be hitting it off. "When this song is over, remind me to give you my number?" Kevin said.
"Absolutely." Crystal answered. Just then Amber and Chris danced by and Amber smiled at Kevin and then Chris led her away. Jane and Lara swayed over and smiled at Chris and Amber. Matt and Jayma awkwardly danced by the group.
Harry was spinning Jenna around so much that it looked like she would be sick. Ryan and Lauren were also having a good time dancing and laughing.
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
Naya and Heather danced very close to each other and Naya started to sing to Heather.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
After the song ended, the room exploded with applause again.
Naya asked for microphone, and said, "Heather and I would like to thank you all for coming. This means the world to both of us. We love you all. Since the night is still young whoever wants to go to the boardwalk again tonight since it cleared up meet us at our room in an hour and a half."
Heather also said into the microphone, "I know I can speak for Naya when I say that we were so thrilled with our wedding march song of 'I Knew I Loved You'! Thank you guys so very much. It was another perfect song that described how I feel for her!"
"Yes, thank you guys. It was touching...We love you." Naya said and waved. Cheers could be heard and then they slowly began to exit the restaurant and go back to their rooms to change.
Naya and Heather thanked the DJ for his wonderful work.
"I enjoyed myself," he said.
They waved and then went back to their room to change their outfits.
When they finally reached their room they both wanted to check in on the newly announced couple. They changed really quickly and kissed passionately not so quickly. Heather stuffed her key card in her pocket, but then headed to the bathroom.
Heather said, "Did you have the best time, my wife?"
"It was so amazing. I'm sorry about the cake throwing…" Naya apologized.
"What? That was one of the best parts."
Naya laughed and said, "You're a nut!"
"That's why you married me!" Heather said and flushed the toilet as if on cue.
"I just have to go and then I'll be ready to go across the hall." Naya said from the outer room.
"Hurry up!" Heather said as she exited, Naya went in, did whatever she had to do, and Naya flushed the toilet.
"Ok, you ready?" Naya said as she came out of the bathroom.
Heather grabbed Naya's hand and yanked her out of the room and to the other side of the hallway.
Heather pounded on the door.
Lea ran to the door, opened it, and announced, "Hey, Di! The Riveras are here!" She motioned them to come in.
"I like the sound of that," Heather noted.
"Be right out," Dianna said from inside the bathroom.
"So…" Naya began once they were all together. "How did you like the wedding?" Naya kidded.
"Best damn wedding I ever went to! I loved what Alan said about love." Dianna said.
"It was great…" Lea added.
"Congratulations!" Heather said as she cut to the chase.
"Oh, that!" Dianna finally got the meaning.
"Wait, what?" Lea asked confused.
"My love, they're hinting at the part where I told everyone I have fallen for my best friend!"
"Oh, I get it now!"
"I meant it though I really didn't think it would come popping out like that!" Dianna said, trying to hide.
"Yea yea!" Naya laughed.
"Ok, I give up. I knew what I was saying!" Dianna conceded.
"How did it feel?" Naya asked as she remembered what it felt like for her.
"It felt…"
Lea looked up at her love and waited for an answer.
"Amazing, no life changing…" Dianna looked at Lea and leaned forward to kiss her.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Lea exclaimed.
"What's that?" Heather asked.
"We have 'our song' now!" Lea smiled widely.
"Oh, yeah, what is it?" Naya asked.
"'Unconditionally' by Lori Michaels. The DJ played it before and we both thought it was perfect for us!" Dianna added.
"Good for you!" Naya said.
"You guys coming to the boardwalk with all of us?" Heather asked.
"Wait…do you hear that?" Lea asked, pretending to hear something.
"Um, hear what?" Naya asked a little surprised.
"Dianna, what's going on?" Heather asked, concerned.
"I dunno…" Dianna said and looked stunned.
"You don't hear…the Ferris wheel calling our names?" Lea finally gave them the punch line.
"Jesus, Lea…You had us going!" Naya said and burst out with laughter.
"Whew! I thought we were going to have to go to the hospital." Heather added.
"Me too, baby!" Dianna said, honestly.
Lea just laughed heartily.
Looking at her watch, Naya asked if they could prop the door open so whoever wanted to come to the boardwalk could come into the room across the hall.
Within ten minutes the entire GLEE cast was in the room with Crystal because of Kevin.
"OK, I have a question…" Amber asked. "Dianna, your 'bff' is Lea, right?"
"Yes," Dianna said, matter-of-factly.
"Then you're in love with her?" Jenna asked.
"Yes, I am!" Dianna got excited when she answered the last question.
"And I love her!" Lea confirmed.
"That's cool…I love lesbians!" Cory said not thinking.
Everyone in the room turned to him and gave him a "what the hell?" expression.
"Um, no that's not what I meant…"
"What I think Cory is trying to say is that we'll be there for you." Naya said.
"That's exactly what I meant."
"Yup…I agree," Dot said.
"Yes, I agree," Jane said as she and Lara walked into the room, after they heard the whole conversation from the hallway. Everyone in the room nodded their heads in approval.
"Thank you everyone! We appreciate it!" Lea said, happily.
"Yes, thank you…We just started so we're taking things day by day. We want to get to know each other more before I propose…"
"Um, yea…" Lea was shocked when she heard the word "propose" from Dianna.
"Ok, ok…who wants to go to the boardwalk?" Naya said to lighten the mood a little.
Everyone in the room raised their hands and everyone in the hallway raised their hands when Naya and Heather started to leave the hotel.
They all walked together like a herd of cattle, but as the boardwalk started to appear in the distance they all ran off in small groups leaving Naya and Heather alone.
"Geez, thanks, guys!" Heather yelled, but smiled.
"That's okay. More alone time for us! What rides to you wanna do tonight?" Naya asked.
"I know one ride I really want to go on…" Heather hinted and gave Naya a lustful stare.
"You really are a horny teenage boy, aren't you?"
"Nope…I'm ten horny teenage boys all rolled up…"
Naya laughed, but repeated the question, "What rides?"
"I dunno…Tilt-A-Whirl with Lauren a couple of times, I guess. If she starts to make the vomit sound I'm outta there, though. Ferris wheel with you. Another roller coaster…You?"
"I'd like to hang out with Lauren some more. Her speech today really moved me. I never think I make an impact on other people…"
"Wait? What?" Heather asked totally shocked.
"I know I know…I'm Naya 'fucking' Rivera…"
"Honey, look down at your left hand and tell me what you see." Heather instructed as they stood still for a minute.
"I see the most beautiful wedding band from the most amazing woman around."
"Good…That is how you've impacted my life and it is how you'll continue to impact it every day! I've noticed, and I'm sorry if I'm wrong, that you can give compliments, but can't really take them."
"That's fair. But just to make sure could you give me an example."
"When I tell you that 'you're the most beautiful woman God has ever created' I sincerely hope you take that to heart. I don't really know for sure…but I hope."
"When you say that to me I really believe you, honestly. When I look in a mirror, though, I see my imperfections…" They started to walk slowly toward the boardwalk again.
"Sweetheart, everybody's got imperfections. That's what makes them unique. I love you because of your small imperfections. They're part of the 'Naya Rivera' package. It's what I signed up for."
"How do you do that, baby?"
"Do what?"
"Make me feel like I'm the only woman on Earth."
"I love you so much that it comes naturally. Even before we started this journey, when we were just besties, I always thought that. It's a gift!" Heather said, smiled, and kissed Naya's head.
Naya laughed and then said, "Really? Even when we were just best friends?"
"Yes! It's always been you for me. And from what I've gathered it's always been me for you." Heather said.
"It truly was and is. Ok, let's have some fun?"
"After you." As Naya walked a little bit in front of Heather. Heather couldn't resist the urge to smack Naya's butt and let her hand linger there for a minute or two.
"You'll pay for that later, baby!" Naya laughed.
"You promise?" Heather said and winked at her.
Naya chuckled, grabbed her hand, and they both started to run to the boardwalk. Once there, Naya bought a book of tickets and they went to find Lauren. They found Jeannie first so Heather asked, "Hey, Mom…do you know where Lauren is?"
"Yup, I certainly do." They looked down at her hand and saw Lauren's glasses.
"She went on a rollercoaster? With who?" Naya asked and grew nervous.
"Herself!" Jeannie replied proudly.
"But she's afraid of them," Heather remembered.
"Not any more…and she said it's because of Naya!"
"Because of me?" Naya asked, flabbergasted.
"Yes, ma'am."
Just then Naya ran to the rollercoaster and went to get on it. By the time she climbed the stairs the ride had started. All she could do was pray that Lauren would come off of it okay.
Lauren saw Naya standing there. She waved as the ride started its climb to the top.
Naya watched it climb and then she watched with bated breath as it zoomed past them, went upside down, and then on its side. Naya tried to keep her eyes locked on Lauren the whole time to see if she was in distress. Lauren just screamed, laughed, and held up her arms.
As the ride came to a stop, the ticket taker allowed Naya to help her friend off the ride. She stood waiting to see if she needed help, but Lauren didn't. Lauren nonchalantly walked up to her panic-stricken friend and said, "Hey, Nay…" and smiled. Lauren walked past her like nothing happened at all. Naya stood there, dumbfounded.
Naya caught up with her as she headed to Jeannie and Heather to get her glasses back.
"Thank you, Jeannie!" Lauren said and put them on. "Oh, that's better!"
"Um, young lady…"
Lauren looked up, innocently, and said, "Yes."
Naya tried not to giggle at this and said, "You almost gave me a heart attack, you know that right?"
"Yup." Lauren said and smiled.
Watching their interaction, Heather and Jeannie tried very hard not to crack up. Naya noticed this and said, "That's not helping…what's going to happen when we have kids?"
Jeannie stopped laughing because the conversation turned serious. "I'm going to be a grandma?"
Heather stepped in at this point and said, "Not right now, Mom, but that's the way we are heading in."
Jeannie jumped up and down and Naya and Heather laughed.
"What? You don't think we think about this?" Heather asked her Mom.
"I don't know…"
"Mom, remember when I told you that 'we plan on becoming a family, in every sense of the word. I hope to have children with Heather, live in a beautiful home, and have a family and house that is full of love, admiration, honesty, and compassion.'?" Naya asked.
"Yea, I do. I thought you were being nice for my sake." Jeannie answered honestly.
"Actually, I wasn't," Naya replied, smiled, and continued, "It won't happen like tomorrow, but you will be a grandma one day!"
"Cool!" Jeannie said and surprised all four of them. They laughed.
"Ok, now back to the matter at hand…Lauren, why did you do that by yourself?"
"Oh crap, I thought I was in the clear…" Lauren said and Heather stifled her laughter. Lauren continued, "I wanted to see if I could do it alone."
"You did great!" Jeannie and Heather said.
"Are you mad at me, Nay?" Lauren asked and lowered her head.
"Lauren, look at me…"
Lauren raised her head and saw Naya's ear to ear grin.
"I'm not mad…I'm very proud of you actually!"
"Really?"
"Yup…Could you do me one huge favor though?" Naya pleaded.
"What's that?"
"As far as your parents know you went on a rollercoaster only once with me and Heather…You got that?"
"Oh, I knew that before even going on the ride! My Mom would have crapped herself if I told her I did it by myself." Lauren said seriously.
The group burst out in laughter. After Naya got her breathe back from laughing so hard, she crouched down and hugged Lauren.
"I'm proud of you, my friend," Naya whispered in her ear.
"You're going to make a great Mom one day." Lauren whispered back.
"I'm hungry, Nay! Who wants a funnel cake?" Heather announced.
Naya and Lauren's hands shot up.
"I'll go get one…" Heather said.
"Actually, I'll come with you, if that's okay?" Jeannie asked.
"Sure…"
Naya and Lauren found a park bench and sat down while Heather and Jeannie went for the funnel cake.
"So…you see you two as parents, huh?" Jeannie started the conversation.
"Absolutely." Heather said as she fished out the money from her pocket.
"That's great dear."
"It may not be the traditional way, but…"
"There are other options out there, I know." Jeannie said.
"I haven't really talked to Naya about the specifics, but I'm thinking either adoption or in vitro fertilization."
"Oh, ok." said Jeannie trying to hide her excitement.
"Maybe I'll bring it up this week." Heather thought and then added, "I don't want to pressure her though. There are a few things that Naya wants to do with her life."
"Like what?" Jeannie asked, "Wait…I'm sorry if it's sounding like I'm prying…"
"No worries…Well the first thing she wanted to do is marry me…" Heather looked down at her wedding and engagement rings and said, "Check!" Jeannie laughed. She loved how her daughter had the innate ability to turn any situation into a comical one.
"Ok, what else?"
"She wants to win an Emmy award for GLEE!"
"Really? That's great! I'm sure she can do it!"
"That's what I told her…" Heather hesitated then she asked, "Could I get your opinion on something?"
"Sure…"
"Sometimes when I tell her stuff like 'she's the most beautiful woman God has ever created' or 'she's Naya fucking Rivera'…sorry for cursing…I don't think she truly understands how serious I am when I say it. I feel honored and privileged to not just know her, but to be a major part of her life. I want her to see what I see in her. I want her to see what everyone else sees in her also. Is there a way in which I can achieve this or is it up to her to recognize it for herself?"
They walked up to the counter and Heather asked, "One funnel cake, please?" They paid and started to walk back to where Naya and Lauren were waiting.
"Well…I have no doubt in my mind that she believes you when you tell her those things…"
"But…" Heather waited.
"You can't make a person feel or act like you want them to. You know that right?"
"Of course. I want her to know how proud I truly am to be her wife."
"I know she knows that, dear. I wish there was something I could say that would help."
"Do I stop telling her those things?" Heather asked.
"Absolutely not! If you do, she'll think you're pulling away from her."
"I don't ever want her to think that!"
"How many times do you tell her these things?"
"When I feel that the situation calls for it. I'm not saying those things over and over again. I'd be sick of hearing it!"
"Hehe. As long as you know when it's good and not good, then she'll truly realize it one day."
"Thanks, Mom."
"No worries!"
They walked back to Naya and Lauren and they all shared the funnel cake together.
After they were done, Lauren asked, "Did you two want to do a ride by yourself? It's okay. I can go play a game. I think Dot is back at the 'test your strength' game. I can hang out with them."
"You don't mind?" Naya asked.
"We wanted to hang out on the Ferris wheel for awhile." Heather added.
"I'll hang out with Lauren." Jeannie said.
"Ok…" Heather said.
"No more roller coasters without us, ya hear?" Naya said.
"Yes, Mom!" Lauren teased.
Naya chuckled.
"I'll go on with you one more time later, deal?" Naya said and extended her hand.
"Deal!" Lauren said and shook Naya's hand.
"See you later!" Naya and Lauren said as they walked away.
Naya and Heather leisurely walked all the way down to the Ferris wheel. They saw all of their family and friends along the way. They were all having a great time and this was all that the two could ever ask for.
Then they got to the ride and got on. There was no sign of Dianna and Lea this time around. And the ride was empty.
"Excuse me?" Heather asked the ticket taker. "Since there's no one on could we go around a few times?"
"Sure," the perky ticket taker said.
"Thanks."
They picked the yellow car instead of the purple one, got in, and in a second the ride started.
"So, I loved our Mom's expression when we brought up kids…" Heather said.
"I'm sorry about that…I just got very concerned about Lauren's safety. It just came out! Are you mad?"
"Why in the world would I be mad?" Heather asked.
"Cuz we hadn't really discussed telling anyone especially Mom, yet."
"No worries…"
"Wow! You really go with the flow. If you ever do get 'mad' at me you know you can tell me right?" Naya asked.
"Of course, Sweetheart. I don't go with the flow…"
"No?"
"I go with our flow!"
"Gotcha!" Then Naya reached up and kissed Heather. Heather pulled Naya into her body, shifted in the seat so she could face Naya, and they just stayed in the kiss. Naya decided to grope Heather's chest for awhile. She massaged her breasts and played with her nipples. She could see them get hard through Heather's tee shirt.
"See what you do to me, Sweetheart?"
"Yes, I do." Naya said proudly.
"Unfortunately, I can't go much lower because we are in public." Naya said and looked disappointed for a moment.
"You can certainly tease me a little, if you want to." Heather said.
"You like to be teased, do you?"
"Only by you," Heather revealed.
Naya laughed out loud.
"Well, I can't travel downward, so I'll go upward." With that Naya lifted Heather's tee shirt up just enough and exposed Heather's bra. She then took her hand and gently removed Heather's breast from the bra. She licked the nipple and it shot out. She then licked the whole breast and that made Heather arch her back so Naya could get full access. Naya gently picked up Heather's breast and put it in her mouth.
Heather screamed, "Oh my God!" as she started to get excited. Naya just smiled as she attended to Heather's other breast and did the exact same thing. As Heather's other breast was in Naya's mouth Heather's body moved up and down and she had her release. Naya was surprised by this, but was over the moon because she knew that even her touch can get Heather to her ecstasy. Naya smiled up at Heather and helped her back into her bra and she pulled the tee shirt back down.
"Ah, thank you."
"You never have to thank me, baby!"
"Can I kiss you then?"
"Go for it." Naya said and didn't expect the kiss she actually received. It was a mind blowing, tongue thrashing, excitement building kiss.
"Wow! Thank you." Naya said after she caught her breathe.
Then the ride stopped.
"To be continued…" Heather said and pulled Naya out of the car and back on the boards. They suddenly realized that Dianna and Lea hadn't been seen.
Just then Chris walked by.
"Hey, ladies. Great wedding today."
"Thanks. Have you seen Di and Lea?"
"Um, yea, I think I saw them walkin' toward a shop…it might have been a jewelry shop in that general area." Chris said and pointed over to a store not to far away.
"Thanks buddy!" Heather said.
"No worries…Kisses!" he said as he sauntered away.
"Wanna go find them?"
"Yea, I wanna see what trouble they're getting into..." Naya said and pulled Heather in the direction of the store.
They walked in they saw them hanging over the glass case.
Naya and Heather tip toed up behind them and Heather yelled, "Come here often?"
Lea must have jumped an inch off of the ground and Dianna had her hand over her heart as if to imply that she almost had a heart attack.
"Don't do that!" Dianna yelled. Naya and Heather smiled widely.
"What cha doing?" Naya asked playfully.
"We're just looking…" Lea said.
Just then the saleswoman walked up with a white bag. "Thank you for shopping with us…"
"That's not ours!" Lea said and tried to act innocent.
"It's not…" the saleswoman asked confused.
Naya and Heather stood there and laughed. Then Dianna reached for the bag and said, "Thank you."
"What did you get? What did you get?" Heather said excitedly.
"No, better question who is it for?"
"If you must know…" Dianna started.
"She bought me a necklace!" Lea answered, sweetly.
"Um, yea, I did."
"Aww! Can we see it?"
Lea took the box out of the bag and opened it for her friends. It read, "Unconditionally!"
"Why does it say, 'unconditionally'?" Heather asked.
"Cuz that's the name of our song!" Dianna reminded her.
"Oh yea, I forgot…sorry!"
Then the saleswoman came back to the group with another white bag. "Thank you."
"Now this can't be ours!" Dianna said.
"Actually it is!" said Lea with a big smile. "It's for you!"
"My love…You didn't?" Dianna said and reached for the bag.
"I don't know…open it and find out!"
Dianna opened the box and found the exact same necklace that Dianna had bought for Lea.
"I love it! You didn't have to, but I'm glad you did."
"I absolutely had to. Now everyone knows that we love each other…" Lea pointed to her neck as she was already wearing hers. "'unconditionally!'"
Dianna leaned and kissed Lea passionately on the lips.
"Do you need help putting it on," Naya asked.
Dianna handed her the necklace, turned around, and smiled as Naya put it on for her.
"It's official now!" Dianna said, happily.
"Yup! It is!" Lea agreed.
"Ok…Who wants to go back outside?" Heather asked.
"I do!" they all said.
Then they bolted out of the door and back to the rides. Dianna and Lea went to the rollercoaster and Naya and Heather went to find Lauren and their Mom.
"Having a good time, girls?" Yolanda and George asked as they walked up to them.
"Yes, a lot of fun!" Naya said and smiled.
"Good…we gotta go find your brother and sister," George said as they hurried off.
"OK, bye!"
They continued their search. When they heard Dot yell, "Come on Lauren…with all your might…" they knew where they were.
As they walked over they saw Lauren begin to swing the big hammer and she hit it almost to the top.
"That's pretty good," Dot said a little surprised. Dot reached out for a high five.
Then Naya said, "Lauren, you wanna go on the roller coaster with me…"
"Sure…You comin', Heather?"
"Nah, you two go and have fun!"
"Yay…" Lauren said and clapped her hands, "Naya time all to myself! Let's go!"
With that Lauren pulled her away from the small group. Once they were away, Naya asked, "You having a good time?"
"Time of my life!"
Naya laughed and said, "That's good. Hey, I have a question for you!"
"What's up?" Lauren answered.
"Do you really think I'll make a good Mom someday?"
"Of course. Why? You don't think so?"
"Sometimes I do…sometimes I don't!"
"Why do you question it? You're gonna have Heather right by your side!"
"Oh, I know that. I just don't want to make mistakes…"
"People make mistakes all the time, Nay…What kind of mistakes are you worried about?"
"Not being a good enough parent. Not following my parents' examples…"
"Well, each new parent develops their own way of parenting, I guess. They use what they learned from their parents and invent new ways of parenting for themselves. Did that make sense?"
"Yea, it did."
"There's one thing that child won't have to want for…" Lauren said.
"What's that?"
"Love…you and Heather have a life time supply of that! You could have a million kids and there still would be love left over!"
Naya laughed and then said, "thank you."
"Can I just suggest one thing?"
"Yeah, please go ahead!" Naya insisted.
"Let them have all of the opportunities in the world. Don't shelter them from anything you think they may not 'understand'. Let them make mistakes, but be there when and if they need you. If they happen to be 'different' always treat them as if they're not!"
"Wow! Thank you. Were you describing some of your Mom's 'mistakes'?"
"Kind of! At the end of the day, every parent questions if they handled their child well that day. Did they instill what they wanted to in them? You know?"
"I get it!" Naya said. As they got to another coaster, Naya said,"You ready?" as she extended her hand.
"Absolutely!"
"Let's go!"
They got in just as the ticket taker stopped taking tickets to secure everyone in their seats. As they started their incline to the top, Lauren grabbed Naya's hand and held it over their heads. Right before they started to go down, Naya yelled, "Love you!"
Lauren yelled, "Love you, too!" as they zoomed down the first steep dip. The ride was over in a few minutes and Lauren got off feeling a little queasy, but okay. Naya stood with her by a nearby garbage can ready if Lauren needed her. It turned out though that Lauren would be okay.
"I think I reached my limit of roller coasters for this trip." Lauren said after she let out a little burp.
"You okay?" Naya said as she rubbed Lauren's back.
Buurrrpp!
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine now. Just needed to burp! Sorry about that!"
"Oh, ok."
"You know what?"
"No what?"
"The compassion you have for others is another reason why you'll make an excellent Mom." Lauren said and smiled.
All Naya could do was kiss Lauren on the head and they walked off.
The rest of the night went by so quickly and soon almost everyone returned to the hotel. Naya and Heather walked back together and when they turned the corner to their hotel hallway, they saw Kevin give Crystal a kiss.
"Um, we're not here." Heather said and they ran with their heads down to their hotel room. Kevin and Crystal just laughed.
Once in their room, Naya asked, "Hey, baby, could you just hold me tonight?"
"Of course…I'm still reliving the Ferris wheel action I got earlier tonight!"
"Haha! Good!"
They changed, got into bed, and just held each other.
"I'm sorry I'm not more talkative…When I'm tired I tend to not talk!" Naya said.
"No problem. I'm pretty tired myself. I'm going to actually shut my eyes and probably be knocked out!"
"Ok, just keep holding me! Good night, Heather. Thank you for marrying me!"
"I'll never let you go! Good night my beautiful Naya. Thank you for marrying me!" Within minutes they were both out like lights.
On Sunday morning, everyone slept late and had brunch together. After they packed up their suitcases and said good-bye to Naya and Heather.
"I had such a great time," Lauren said and hugged them both.
"You are a great friend," Naya said and squeezed her tightly.
"You'll always have my friendship, Nay…Anything you need just ask." Lauren said.
"You too. We'll make Friendly's a once a month thing, sound good?" Naya told Lauren.
"Super. I gotta go find Jane and Lara. See you next Monday. Have a great honeymoon," Lauren said and winked.
"Yup. See you soon!"
Just then Ryan walked up and said, "Now, listen up you two. I don't want to see either of you back at the studio until next Monday. Spend this time being the couple I know you are! Got it?"
"Got it!" they said in unison. Then Ryan walked off to say good-bye to their family.
Jenna, Cory, Harry, Amber, Kevin, and Chris walked up to them next and Kevin said, "Awesome weekend, you two. Thanks." The rest of them nodded their heads in agreement. They all shared a group hug and then went to find Ryan.
"Oh, by the way, HeMo," Kevin added, "Crystal and I exchanged numbers and will be talkin' a lot more!"
"That's great, Kev!" Heather replied.
Jane and Lara walked up to Naya and Heather next and Lara said, "Thank you again for a great weekend. You two are truly an example to live by. I had such a nice time."
"Thank you for coming…it was nice to meet you," Heather said and Naya nodded her head.
"And you…" Heather said and looked at Jane, "Thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful to you for all of the advice and for standing up for me. You have no idea how much you have helped me…" Heather said and started to get emotional.
"I think I do, but thank you Heather. I was honored to do that. You'll always have a listening ear, should you ever need one!" Jane hugged Heather tightly. Then they walked away to where Lauren sat. Lauren waved at Naya once more and then they left the hotel.
Dot, Matt, and Jayma walked up and Jayma said, "That was such a special weekend and ceremony. I am honored to have been a part of it!" She hugged the girls.
"That was wonderful!" Matt said and hugged them also.
"It was a blast!" Dot said and high fived the girls, "See you next week!" They left after a couple of minutes.
Dianna and Lea were the last two to say their good-byes to Naya and Heather. "We just want to say that we had a great time celebratin' this weekend." Lea said.
"Yes, thank you, Naya, for everything. I truly love you, girl! You have a friend for life!" Dianna said.
"You have always been there for me, Dianna, I will always be there for you. Anything you need you just have to ask." Naya said and pulled Dianna in for a hug. "Thank you," Naya whispered into her ear. Once the hug broke, Naya could see a smile form on Dianna's face.
Soon all of their guests had left and their family hung around and talked in a small group. Before Naya and Heather walked over to them, Tracey asked, "If there's nothing else…I'll be heading out. Thank you…this was amazing. Here's my card. When you get home next Monday you should have the proofs. I'll get your address from Alan."
"Thank you so much, Tracey," Naya said and shook her hand.
"We can't wait to see the pictures," Heather said and also shook her hand.
"Thank you again! If you never need a photographer, let me know! Bye!"
Tracey said as she walked away. Once Naya and Heather watched her leave the hotel they joined their family and Heather said, "We just want to thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything you did for us during the past three months…."
"Yes, we couldn't have done this without your love, support, and acceptance! We love you all so much." Naya said and Heather nodded her head. They all gathered together for a large group hug.
Then Naya asked, "Jeannie, could I speak with you for a moment in private?"
"Of course!"
Heather was a little surprised, but Naya smiled at her as if to say "it is okay". Then Naya extended her arm and Jeannie leaned on it and they walked away.
Once they were out the small group's attention, Naya said, "I just wanted to thank you personally for accepting me and accepting Heather's love for me. When we first met, I was so nervous that I wouldn't make a good impression with you. I just wanted to convey to you just how much Heather means to me and to my life. You have my promise…and my vow that your daughter will want for nothing. I'd give her the moon if I could. Also I will love her until the day I die!"
Jeannie smiled and said, "Do you remember the time on the phone when you two were telling us that you had fallen in love? Well it was when you stepped in for Heather because she was getting emotional that I realized that you could be special. The first time we met and had our conversation was when I knew that you are special. I really do love you for loving my daughter the way you do. I trust you with her heart and I trust you with her life. I will always be a phone call and a flight away."
"I will never break your trust." Naya said with tears in her eyes.
"I know you won't!" Jeannie said and pulled her new daughter in for a hug. After the embrace Jeannie went into her purse and pulled out a white envelope. "I have something for you and Heather!" She handed over the envelope.
"Should I get Heather?"
"No, I want you to open it and you can show Heather later."
"Ok," Naya said as she began to open the envelope and pull out the piece of paper. It took Naya a minute to process what Jeannie had given to them. It was a check for ten thousand dollars.
"Thank you, Mom!" Naya said and started to cry.
"No, no…none of those! It's just to start you out. I'd like you two to use it for something you both truly want. It's okay if you don't know what it might be now." Jeannie said and wiped Naya's tears away.
Before Naya and Jeannie returned to the bigger group, Heather and her new family were talking. George reached into his pocket and pulled out a pink envelope.
"What's this Dad?" Heather asked.
"Just a little something from us to you and Naya."
"Should I wait for her to come back?"
"Nah, you can show her later," Yolanda said.
"Ok." Heather opened the envelope and inside was a check for twenty-five hundred dollars.
"Wow! Are you sure? This is too much!"
"No, we think it's just enough to start you two off to a good start!" George said and smiled.
Heather hugged her new second parents tightly and then say, "Thank you so much!"
Just then Jeannie and Naya came walking up to them.
"Everything okay?" Heather asked with a smile on her face.
"More than okay, dear," Jeannie said. Just then their taxi pulled up in front of the hotel.
"I don't want you guys to leave now!" Heather said and smiled through her tears.
"We have to. But I'd like to come visit you more often though! If that's okay?" Heather's Mom said.
"It's more than okay," Heather said and Naya nodded her head in agreement.
April then hugged her sister tightly and said, "I love you. Enjoy your time here with Naya."
"Bye, sis!" April then said to Naya.
With a huge grin, Naya said, "Bye, sis! Take care!"
"Bye, Heather…" Crystal said.
"I'm sorry we interrupted the 'first kiss'! I hear you got some digits?" Heather asked.
"Yes, I did. He's a great guy! No worries about interrupting!"
"Have fun…and maybe I'll see you more often soon!" Heather said and hugged her sister.
Once the hugs were finished, the Morris women walked out of the hotel, but before Jeannie walked all the way out she turned around and blew Heather a kiss and mouthed, "I love you!" Heather smiled and waved good-bye.
Then the Riveras started to say their good-byes.
"Awesome weekend," Mychal and Nickayla said.
"Glad you two had fun!" Naya said and hugged them both. Heather hugged them next.
"We are so proud of you, Nay. We love you both so much!" George said.
"I love you very much," Yolanda said and hugged Naya. "Thank you for letting me stand up for you, Heather," Yolanda turned to Heather and said.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation to…" Heather said and then looked at all of her new family members and continued, "Also thank you very much for accepting me into your family. I love your daughter with my whole heart and will protect her until the day I die!"
"We know!" George said, proudly.
Then Heather hugged him and said, "Thanks Dad!"
Then they picked up their luggage and Naya and Heather walked with them to the exit.
"Call me when you guys are back in LA!" Yolanda said.
"Sure thing," Naya said.
Then they left. Naya and Heather watched as they got to their car, put the luggage in the trunk, got in, and drove away.
And then it was just them. Before they started to walk to their hotel room, Naya said, "Let's sit down over there! I have something to show you."
"What's up," Heather said as they plopped down on the couch in the lobby.
"Your Mom gave me this!" Naya said and handed her the envelope.
Heather took the envelope from her and opened it. Heather's eyes popped open when she saw the amount. "Holy shit!" she yelled. Naya just laughed.
"That's amazing!"
"I know." Naya said, still shocked.
"Well, when you were talking to her your family gave me something…" Heather said as she handed the pink envelope over to Naya.
"What?" Naya asked. She opened the envelope and pulled out the check.
"Oh my God…" Naya said, flabbergasted.
"Isn't it amazing?" Heather beamed.
"More than I deserve…We are the luckiest two people alive, do you know that?" Naya said, getting emotional.
"I know, Sweetheart. We are more than lucky." Heather said and then kissed her cheek.
They put the two checks into the bigger envelope and Naya put it in her pocket. They then walked hand in hand to their room. Once they were in the hallway of their room, Naya stopped walking.
"What's up?" Heather asked and wiped a tear from her eye.
"Nothing!" Naya yelled as she jumped up and wrapped herself around Heather's body. Heather, though surprised, was able to stand and hold onto Naya. She wrapped her arms under Naya's thighs for support as Naya kissed her. Heather walked as fast as she could to their room.
"Do you have the key card?" Heather asked as she came up for air.
Naya pulled it out of her pocket rather easily. Since Heather's hands were full Naya turned her body slightly while in Heather's embrace and swiped the card in the door and the green light flashed. Naya pushed the handle down and then Heather kicked the door open. She was impressed that she could hold onto Naya and balance on one leg at the same time. The door shut and Naya locked it.
Naya smiled which made Heather start to kiss her again. When they got to the bed, Heather gently got on it while Naya was still attached to her. Once Naya's back hit the mattress she let go of her hold. Heather, who still hovered over her, unbuttoned Naya's shirt feverishly and pulled it off of her. Then she unbuttoned her pants and pulled those off of Naya. Then Naya sat up a little and helped Heather out of her clothes. The only articles of clothing remaining were their bras and underwear. Naya watched with excitement as Heather unclasped her bra and took it off. She tossed it aside. Then she removed her panties and tossed those off to the side. Heather was now completely naked and stood in front of her wife without breaking eye contact. Naya then removed her bra and panties and stood up to be face to face with Heather.
They stood there for a few seconds before Naya spoke, lust in her voice, "Well…Ms. Rivera, what do you want to do now?"
"I don't know what do you wanna do, Ms. Rivera?" Heather asked, playfully.
Then Naya lunged at Heather and gave her the most passionate kiss she could. Heather received it and tried to give one back to her. Somehow gravity took hold of them and they ended up on the floor instead of in bed.
"Well, um, again a first for me!" Naya said a little surprised.
"Do you want to get up and into bed?"
"Nope…I want to have you in me!"
Naya pulled Heather on top of her and gave Heather the control this time around. Heather immediately licked her finger and then gently put it inside Naya. Naya moaned in excitement. With one of Heather's fingers inside her, Naya started to massage Heather's back. She caressed it and played with strands of Heather's head of blonde hair. Heather tried to inset another finger inside Naya and Naya's body allowed her full access.
"Oooohh!" Naya responded to that action. Her breathing became labored as she grew more and more excited. Naya tried to maneuver herself so that she could tease Heather as she slowly traced her finger lower and lower until she reached her final destination. Naya then forcibly entered Heather. They looked up at each other for a moment and kissed passionately again. As they grinded together they both felt each other's fingers go deeper and deeper. All of a sudden, they reached their limits together and then Naya smiled and said, "That's never happened before…us ending together. I so loved that!"
"Yea, me too," Heather said, panting, "Sorry I'm not more poetic right now."
"No worries, baby…"
"I know one thing for damn sure…" Heather said.
"What's that?"
"Our sex life is great!"
"Darn tooting!" Naya said, laughed, and smiled up at Heather.
"I love you so much!" Heather said simply.
"I love you too!" Naya responded. She loved when Heather declared her love. It was the sweetest thing. "Can I hear you say it again?"
"Say what?"
"That you love me! I love hearing you say it."
Heather made sure she looked into Naya's brown eyes and said, "I…love….you!"
After they lay there for awhile in sweet silence. Heather then turned over to face Naya.
"What do you want to do with our gifts from our parents?" Heather asked.
"I think we should put it in the bank!" Naya said.
"Good idea or…"
"Or what?"
"We could go summer house hunting? I know you don't want to commute every day back and forth, but I think we could look at houses for when we're on hiatuses and summer vacations from GLEE!"
"Sure…but we should keep our total future in mind…A house with at least two to three bedrooms for guests and a child or dare I say, children." Naya thought out loud.
"You're so smart. Can we start looking tomorrow?"
"Sure, but remember we're still on our honeymoon…"
"Trust me!" I won't forget that!" Heather said and smiled.
