Hello…gosh this Glee hiatus is such a downer…Anywho here is another update for you lovely people.
A Few Weeks Later...
~~~ Finding Some Closure ~~~
After learning the truth about that fateful night at the Christmas Party Becky could finally work on finding some closure and move on. Of course knowing that she wasn't a willing participant of that night had thrown the blonde. At first she blamed herself for being so stupid and that she had it coming that it was just karma coming back after all the horrible things she said and did when she was young. But Hannah refused to let her wife think this. She made her go to her therapy sessions and get help dealing with this.
Hannah even came to some sessions with Becky and she even went by herself. Hannah had felt so guilty and horrible for what she had put her wife through. She couldn't forgive herself for doing the exact same thing Becky's parents did. She had kicked her wife out; she had tried to force her out of her life with the divorce all because of something that wasn't her fault. Diane tried to explain to the Aussie that she had no idea of what really happened that night and therefore she can't feel guilty for the way she reacted at the time.
It was just a very bad time for the Marshal family. They tried to not let it affect their boys they had already been through enough. But they could tell something wasn't right they just didn't know what.
It was obviously going to take time for this whole mess to be put to rest and a part of it will always live with them because something like this never truly goes away. You just have to learn to live with it and not let it consume you. So that is what Becky had decided to do. She was so tired. She wanted her life back. She didn't want Valerie to have that power over her Becky was stronger than that. So she focused on the here and now and left her past where it belonged...in the past.
"Your birthday is coming up soon. Anything in particular you want?" Becky asked her wife.
They were currently cuddled up together in the living room. Their two boys were sitting on the floor happily watching the movie that was on TV.
"You don't have to get me anything" Hannah replied
"You say that every year. It just makes my life more difficult because I then have to run around like an idiot trying to find something." Becky huffed
Hannah just chuckled.
"I don't know...I need a new bra you can get me that" She shrugged
"A sexy bra? Oooh I could totally get you a teddy" Becky whispered into her wife's ear with a smirk.
Hannah just bit get bottom lip and giggled.
"You can get me anything you want." She replied
"Noted" Becky nodded
~~~ Not A Baby Anymore ~~~
Quinn walked down the hallways carrying the washing basket she had just come from her own room and was heading to Charlie's. Her daughter was out at the theatre with her rehearsals all day so Quinn went into her room to gather any dirty washing.
Normally Charlie was pretty anal about keeping her room clean but lately she has been a little lazy. Quinn could understand though her daughter spent so much time with her rehearsals she was always so tired when she got home. Fortunately Frankie had kept his word...at least so far. Charlie still raved about him which Quinn found difficult to stomach but she never let on when her daughter talked about him.
Quinn picked up a handful of clothes that were on the floor and started sorting through it making sure nothing was in any of the pockets when she came across something that should not be in a pile of her daughter's laundry! Quinn was horrified she threw the offending item on Charlie's bed then stormed into the girl's bathroom and searched the cabinet draws only to find more evidence of what she feared.
Rachel came home that afternoon a little earlier than usual which she so wasn't complaining about. The last few weeks had surprisingly been uneventful. It was a warm welcome from the past couple of months where everything just happened right after the other. It was getting emotionally draining. But right now everything had seemed to come to a halt and it was like they could all breathe again. Rachel still had her moments when she would think about her father and found herself having a good cry. Usually this would follow after talking to her dad on Skype for a few hours.
The brunette headed upstairs to get changed when she heard the distinct sounds of her wife crying. Filled with concern Rachel rushed to find her wife and find out what was wrong. She found Quinn sitting on their daughter's bed holding a pair of men's underwear in one hand and holding a box of condoms in the other while she sobbed her little heart out.
"Quinn? Sweetheart...what's going on?" Rachel asked softly as she came into the room.
Quinn looked up, her mascara was running all over the place and her eyes were puffy. Rachel moved to sit next to her wife and placed a comforting hand on the blonde's back. Quinn lent into her wife's side and cried.
"Why are you crying?" Rachel asked as she began to rub small circles on her wife's back.
"O-Our baby...s-she's...she's not..." Quinn hiccupped.
"She's not what?" Rachel asked
"She's n-not our baby anymore!" Quinn cried
Rachel finally understood what was going on. It happened when Grace moved out and it happened when Toby came to them telling them that he had accidentally gotten a girl pregnant. Quinn was realizing that their child is all growed up...and with Charlie being the youngest it meant that now all of the kids are adults and no longer their little babies anymore.
Rachel just smiled and kissed her wife's head before grabbing a tissue to wipe away her tears.
"I...I found these" Quinn mumbled as she held up Ben's underwear and the condoms.
Rachel tried not to laugh at how silly her wife looked right now.
"Well at least we know they're being safe and responsible" Rachel replied.
She had known for a while now that Charlie and Ben's relationship had progressed she just didn't dare say anything about it to her wife because she knew this would happen.
"That is so not the point Rach!" Quinn cried.
"Quinn...honey you knew it would happen one day. Our kids are all grown up now."
"But I don't want them to be! I just want all of them to be little cute babies again!" Quinn pouted.
"Well that's not gonna happen. So you've just got to deal with the fact that they are adults now." Rachel calmly told her
"But-"
"You've got your grandkids to look after and love and spoil." Rachel butted in
Quinn just pouted.
"You love spending time with little Ally...and baby Dave and little Cooper and Max. Soon hopefully Gracie and Sofia will start a family of their own and then that'll be even more grandkids to look after." Rachel replied with a hopeful smile
"That just makes me sound so old!" Quinn burst into more tears.
Rachel sighed and grabbed some more tissues...this was going to be a long night.
~~ Wild Night Out ~~~
Quinn and her best friend Santana Lopez-Pierce were sat together outside complaining about anything and everything as usual. While their wives sat inside watching them from the kitchen window.
"They're like two grumpy old women" Brittany giggled
"God don't let them hear you say that" Rachel laughed.
"Santana's getting worse...she practically has a melt down every morning when she looks at herself in the mirror. She's terrified of finding more grey hair." Brittany rolled her eyes.
"Quinn's the same...only she's terrified of getting wrinkles and that her boobs are sagging. She makes me test them every morning...though I think she just likes me playing with her boobs more than anything" Rachel added
"That is such a good idea...I should do that to Santana" Brittany smirked
Rachel just laughed
"Well its not as if I hate doing it" She added
"They look like they're planning something" Brittany noted.
Rachel turned to look at the pair outside. She had seen them look like that before and it usually ended with them both drunk and in some kind of trouble.
"So I'll pick you up at 9pm" Santana stated
"Awesome." Quinn nodded
That night Quinn had locked herself in their bedroom for a couple of hours while Rachel sat downstairs reading. Charlie was out on a date with Ben and Rachel was looking forward to a quiet night in. She knew that would not be the case when her wife came down the stairs in a little black dress, her hair was sexy messy with smoky eyes...Rachel could only think that her wife did not look bad for a fifty year old woman...she wouldn't dare say that to her though.
"You look hot" Rachel smirked instead.
Rachel couldn't help but notice the glee in her wife's face at that compliment.
"Thank you" Quinn smiled
"Not that I'm complaining but...why are you all dressed up?" Rachel asked
"Santana and I are going out tonight...we deserve to have a little fun." Quinn replied
"Ok then...don't be home late because you know you get grumpy if you don't get enough sleep...oh and don't forget to take your heart medication which means please don't drink yourself stupid" Rachel rambled as she went back to her book
Quinn frowned
"I'm not incompetent Rachel"
"Of course not sweetie" Rachel replied not taking her eyes off the page she was on.
Quinn just huffed and went to the bathroom to take her pills, grumbling as she went.
Santana stood in front of the full length mirror admiring herself in her sexy red dress that made her boobs look amazing, her hair (freshly dyed) hung loosely around her face and her stiletto hills made her legs to die for. With a satisfied smirk she grabbed her clutch bag and headed out.
Brittany was sitting in the living room munching on some chocolate (the non-laxative kind) as she watched the late night news.
"Britt I'm heading out" Santana told her as she entered the room.
"Alright have fun" Brittany replied not looking away from the TV
Santana gave out a small huff at not getting any attention from her wife.
"How do I look?" She asked
Brittany finally looked up and gave her a sweet smile
"You look hot" She replied
Well now that put a smile on her dial, which Brittany knew it would. She wasn't lying her wife did look hot she just knew Santana needed to hear it.
"Thanks...So don't wait up its gonna be a late one" Santana smirked
"Ok...just remember not to overdo it your back has been playing up and I don't want you pulling anything." Brittany reminded her.
Santana grumbled and rolled her eyes.
"Yes ok...well I'm going. Love you" Santana replied as she kissed her wife's lips before she headed out.
Not long after their wives had gone out for their wild night on the town Rachel headed over to the Lopez-Pierce house with a bottle of wine and some movies.
Santana and Quinn had arrived at a very 'hip' and 'cool' club that all the young folk go to these days. They sat at the bar as they ordered their drinks and took a look around the place.
"It's really loud in here" Quinn yelled to her friend
"What?" Santana yelled back
"I SAID ITS REALLY LOUD IN HERE" Quinn repeated
"Me too!" Santana yelled not really knowing what Quinn had said
They looked around the dark club that had strobe lights and very loud techno-dance music playing. There was a mass of people dancing and grinding up on the dance floor...they were young twenty somethings that were probably even younger than Grace and Sofia. Quinn and Santana just sat there watching them and complaining about what they were wearing and how they were dancing.
"I mean look at her! How is that even a dress? It's like a tiny piece of material. I mean what would her mother think?" Quinn pointed out
"I know! God have some class puta. I would have strung Sofia up by her hair if she ever wore something like that!" Santana nodded in agreement
"It leaves nothing to the imagination. And then look at that couple over there...they're pretty much a step away from having sex on the dance floor" Quinn added
"It's just nasty" Santana cringed
Brittany bounced into the living room with a bowl of popcorn while Rachel refilled their drinks. They were having a movie marathon of romantic comedies as they snuggled together under the fuzzy blanket.
Quinn and Santana had decided to leave that club and head on to another one after it became apparent that after 9:30 all the weirdos come out and that club turned more into some decadent orgy.
They found themselves at a club called 'Unearthly Delights' which was decked out to look like an old high end burlesque club...it looked promising. That was until they soon realised it was a strip club...a male strip club which left Quinn and Santana horrified and scarred for life.
"Oh Jessica Alba...why are you so dreamy?" Brittany sighed wistfully.
They were watching an old movie.
"Uh uh...I'm disco Barbie"
"You know I can totally see why Quinn has this weird obsession with Drew Barrymore." Rachel nodded
After running from that last place Quinn and Santana found themselves at a more quiet and subdued bar. They ordered a drink and finally began to enjoy their night. That was until two really old men started to try and chat them up and the soon realized that the bar was full of old people!
By the end of the night well technically it was only 10:30 Santana and Quinn decided they'd had enough. Santana's feet hurt and Quinn was getting sleepy. They wandered down the street waiting for a cab both feeling nothing but old.
"This sucks!" Santana pouted
"Tell me about it...have we really become those people?" Quinn asked
"What people?"
"The people who go out to night clubs when they're fifty and only get hit on by dirty old men? I mean it's not even eleven o'clock!" Quinn ranted
Santana pouted.
"Quinn...I don't want to be old."
"I don't either. But then looking at all those young people tonight I don't think I want to be them either it just looked far too exhausting." Quinn sighed
"I know! I barely danced and my feet are fucking killing me" Santana huffed as she sat down on one of the benches.
Quinn came over to join her.
"We're not tragic right?" Quinn then asked
"No...just because we're fifty and we went out on the town and only stayed out till 10:30 does not make us tragic...I mean look at us! We're still hot" Santana replied
"That's true" Quinn nodded
"I'm not sure I want to go home though" Santana admitted
"Why? I'm tired and your feet hurt" Quinn whined
"I know but can you imagine what our wives will say when we get home before midnight?" Santana replied
"I see your point...well what do you want to do?" Quinn asked
"I've got an idea" Santana smirked.
The movie had just ended so they were taking a short break to stretch and go to the bathroom before they put the next one in.
"Do you want to open this bottle of white?" Brittany asked
She preferred the sweeter wines.
"Sure why not" Rachel shrugged.
Brittany nodded and uncorked the bottle and poured out their drinks.
"So how do you think our lovely ladies are doing tonight?" Rachel asked
Brittany just chuckled and took a sip of her wine.
"Ten bucks says they get home before midnight" Brittany challenged
"Britt that's not fair. That's like taking candy from a baby" Rachel huffed
Brittany just laughed some more
"Aww they try so hard to not be old but they just fail." The blonde cooed
"Poor things" Rachel chuckled.
Santana smirked as she looked at her friend.
"Am I a fucking genius or not?" She asked
"Just this once...I will agree with you" Quinn smiled.
They found themselves inside the good old Seven Deadly Sins strip club. They hurried over to their table, ordered some drinks and asked if Tina was working that night. She was.
"Hey ladies...it's been awhile. I thought Rachel barred you from this place Quinn?" Tina smirked
"She...may have...but let's just keep this between us three Kay?" Quinn replied a little sheepishly.
"You want me to lie to your wife? To Rachel? One of my dearest friends?" Tina asked
Quinn looked down feeling a little guilty...but that only lasted a few seconds when a topless waitress walked past and totally distracted her. Santana just giggled from her spot as she watched her friend ogle the pretty naked ladies. Tina just rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Madam Tee we've got an issue with one of the girls" A topless waitress came over in a panic.
Tina sighed
"Alright I'll be right there...Q, San this round is on me. And I won't tell your wives...as long as you behave...Quinn I'm looking at you" Tina narrowed her eyes at the blonde.
Quinn just gaped and held out her hands as if to say 'what did I do?'
"Don't give me that look. You know what I'm talking about" Tina smirked
"Hey Tee let me know if you need a hand with that problem. You know I can be very handy when there's naked women in distress" Santana spoke up
"I'll keep that in mind Santana...now if you'll excuse me." Tina replied before she headed off to go deal with whatever the drama was about.
"Not a word to Britt and Rach about this deal?" Quinn asked her friend
"Absolutely" Santana nodded
Brittany and Rachel were cuddled up again on the couch they had decided to just chat and gossip instead of watching another movie.
"You know it wouldn't surprise me if they were" Rachel replied as she massaged Brittany's feet.
They both hand their legs resting in each other's laps.
"I thought you forbid Quinn from going there." Brittany chuckled as she carefully painted Rachel's toes.
"Britt I love my wife and I have her totally whipped but I know even me telling her she can't...she would still go there." Rachel replied.
"That's true...they're so predictable" Brittany nodded
Santana and Quinn knocked back another shot and high fived each other.
"Fuuuccckkk" Quinn hissed
"What?" Santana giggled as she wiped away some dribble from Quinn's chin with a napkin she had managed to get half of the shot in her mouth and other half all over herself.
"I promised my Rachie that I wouldn't...like...get drunked because of my heart...she's gonna be so...so, so, so, so mad at me" Quinn whined.
"Wellz then I'll just sneak you in to my...my treehouse and we'll like camp out there and they'll never know. Trust me it'll totes work." Santana slurred
"Oh my god we should totally roast some marshmallows!" Quinn suggested excitedly
"Or better yet we should totally have sex with our wives...and then roast marshmallows." Santana added
"We should roast them together and then lick the marshmallows off of them!" Quinn ranted
"Oh my god yes! That's like the best idea ever! You my friend are a fucking genius!" Santana raised her glass to the blonde and then took a long sip of her beer.
"You know what I miss?" Quinn murmured
"Mermaids?" Santana asked
"What? No! What?" Quinn asked in confusion
Santana just shrugged
"I miss us!" Quinn clarified
"I don't get ya" Santana shook her head
"Like...us...I miss us. I miss those times in college where we all just snuggled up together watching movies and it was just us four." Quinn rambled
"You know what we should have looked into" Santana spoke up
"What?" Quinn asked as she took a sip of her drink
"Polygamy" Santana replied seriously
Quinn nearly choked on her drink and looked wide eyed at her friend. After she got herself back together she nodded intently.
"Why didn't we think of this before?" She asked seriously.
Santana just shrugged.
Brittany and Rachel had pulled out the sofa bed and were now snuggled under the blankets after they decided to watch another movie after all. They had both changed into their PJs and got themselves all comfortable.
Rachel was resting her head on Brittany's shoulder while the blonde absentmindedly played with the brunette's hair as they watched the girl run after the florist.
"Aww I love happy endings" Brittany sighed
"Me too" Rachel quietly agreed.
It was gone one o'clock by the time Santana and Quinn came home that night. Both feeling immensely proud of themselves for staying out as long as they did. Ha they were totally not that old! Santana was still insisting on hiding Quinn in her treehouse for the night so Rachel wouldn't know that she got drunk. But as they not so quietly stumbled their way into the Lopez-Pierce house they found their wives curled up together fast asleep on the sofa bed in the living room.
"Aww they're so adorable...I just want to smoosh them" Quinn cooed.
"I kinda wanna fuck them but whatever tickles your fancy" Santana shrugged.
"Well yeah obviously that too" Quinn agreed.
"Do you think there's enough room on there for two more?" Santana asked as she scrunched up her nose and tilted her head to the side.
"I'll make room" Quinn replied as she moved over to the sofa.
"Wait Q...your still in your dress" Santana stopped her.
"Unzip me then" Quinn replied and turned around waiting for Santana to unzip her dress.
The Latina dragged her tired feet over and unzipped Quinn's dress then made her do the same for her.
"You're not wearing a bra" Quinn noted as she undid Santana's dress
"Don't need to with these bad girls" She replied with a smirk as she turned around with her hands holding her boobs.
Quinn couldn't help but stare.
"I'll be right back with some jammies for us" Santana replied before she made the toughest journey up the stairs with sore feet and no clothes on.
Surprisingly she didn't take that long and soon enough both drunken fools were dressed and ready for bed. Quinn snuggled in behind her wife pulling the brunette in close to her body. Santana did the same to Brittany. It was a very tight fit and they were pretty much on top of each other but they really didn't care.
~~~ The Morning After ~~~
Ben and Charlie came down stairs that morning to find their mothers cuddled up in bed together there were arms and legs everywhere.
Ben and Charlie were a little surprised to find one of their moms cuddled up together on the couch after their date that night. Brittany and Rachel just giggled when their youngest both blushed and rambled nervously before they rushed up stairs and weren't seen or heard from again for the rest of the night. Rachel and Brittany agreed to not let Quinn know about that little fact.
"Oh god they better not have done anything" Charlie shivered in horror
"Ew Charlie that's gross" Ben cringed
"Well you can never be really sure anymore with our parents now that we know the true extent of their 'relationship'." Charlie replied
Ben just looked grossed out.
"Should we wake them?" He asked
"I'm going to say no. But only because I don't want my mom to make some big scene about the fact that I stayed the night here with you" Charlie replied with a shy smile
Ben just blushed and nodded.
"I'll make some breakfast." He added as they headed to the kitchen.
Even though they had finally taken their relationship to the next level and have done it more than once they were still a little shy and awkward about it...well Ben more so than Charlie but he was getting better at not being embarrassed.
The young couple moved around the kitchen getting out various ingredients for breakfast and soon began to cook together. Charlie wasn't the world's best cook like her mom and Gracie but she wasn't as bad as her Ma and Sofia.
Back in the living room Rachel began to stir and slowly opened her eyes. She wasn't at all surprised to find two extra bodies in bed with her and Brittany. She and the tall blonde had woken up when their wives not so quietly came home that night. They both tried not to giggle when they heard their respected others nattering away about joining a religious cult where they could have multiple wives and how awesome it would be to lick various foods off their wives bodies and then there was a random conversation about how one would even have sex with a mermaid.
Rachel turned to lay on her back which was slightly difficult with her wife laying pretty much on top of her. Quinn's hair was a total mess and her makeup was smeared all over her face she looked terrible but Rachel couldn't help but smile and kiss her on the lips. Quinn just let out a small whimper and then snuggled closer to her wife making it impossible for her to get up.
It wasn't until they could smell food cooking that Quinn and Santana finally woke up. Brittany and Rachel had been awake already and were talking quietly together as they were pretty much trapped in the sofa bed.
"Morning Sanny" Brittany kissed her wife's cheek
"Mmmm" Was all the brunette could get out.
Santana looked half dead right about now. Her head was killing her, her back hurt and her mouth was all dry and she felt like her stomach was going to betray her any minute now. Brittany noticed and quickly asked if she needed to get a bucket.
"Just leave me to dieee" Santana groaned
"I'll take that bucket" Quinn winced feeling very green right now.
Rachel quickly extracted herself from the sofa bed and ran to get a bucket just in case while Brittany rubbed soothing circles on both Santana and Quinn's back. Rachel soon returned with two buckets and handed them over to the hungover fools.
"Quinn...do you want me to take you home?" Rachel softly asked
"No...I can't move I'll throw up if I do" Quinn pouted and started to tear up.
The blonde had a habit of getting emotional when she was hung over to the point of being sick.
"Brittttt...my everything hurts" Santana whined
"I know...I'll get you both some water. I'll be right back" Brittany got up and headed for the kitchen.
"Morning guys" She gave her son and Charlie a warm smile
"Morning mom" Ben smiled back then went back to eating his food
"Morning, how are they?" Charlie asked
"Well...there's a threat of projectile vomiting so I would stay clear if you don't want to see something gross" Brittany replied as she grabbed a couple of glasses out and filled them with water.
Both cringed
"Mom" Ben whined then pushed his plate away from him
"Sorry Benny" Brittany chuckled and ruffled his hair.
"Nice hicky by the way" She added with a smirk
Ben blushed a deep red while Charlie looked away and Brittany just laughed as she headed back to the living room.
What she saw was not what she wanted to see. Both Quinn and Santana were hunched over their buckets dry heaving with Rachel sat in between them looking a little green herself. It was not a pretty sight.
The rest of the morning saw Brittany and Rachel playing nurse, not the fun sexy kind but the proper looking after the sick kind. Quinn and Santana barely left the living room or the sofa bed. By early afternoon Rachel and Brittany had had enough and were sure their wives weren't as bad as they made out. They just liked the attention.
~~~ Moving On Up, You're Moving On Out, Time To Break Free ~~~
Toby and Maya walked hand in hand as they looked around the fifth house for sale that they had been to that day. Ally was at day care so they had all day to go around and look for a new place.
"I like this one" Maya quietly muttered as they entered the kitchen.
It was a three bedroom home, two bathrooms, a large living area with a decent sized kitchen. It had a moderate sized back yard with space for Ally to run around and play. Toby even thought that he could build a small cubby house out there for his daughter and put up a swing set. The bedrooms were of a decent size and it even had a games/entertainment area.
"Me too...I could totally make this my man cave" Toby smirked as they entered the games room.
"Or it could be the Girls Room. You know you're out numbered" Maya replied playfully.
Toby actually pouted and looked like a sad puppy, which just made Maya laugh.
"It's not too far from your moms either" Maya added ignoring his doe eyes.
"Yeah it's only a few streets away" He nodded
"We could turn the extra bedroom into a study." Maya noted
"Or have more kids" Toby joked
Maya faulted in her footing at that.
"Y-You want more kids?" She asked a little shocked
"Well...I...I don't know...I mean...maybe...later on...I guess...I mean I've always wanted a son...not that I don't love having a daughter. I love Ally to bits." Toby stuttered as he rambled.
Maya just nodded but didn't say anything else, which now made things a little awkward between the couple. Toby mentally kicked himself for bringing it up even if it was a joke. He did want to have more kids though, he wanted a big family.
They continued to look around the house both quietly picturing where they would put their things, what their furniture would look like in different places. Maya still had her apartment and some of her own stuff was still there. She was in the process of trying to sell the place and use some of that money as well as the money she had gotten from the trial to help buy the house.
Toby had been putting money away for a long time now. He had been saving since he was sixteen when he got his first job working as a waiter. At first he was saving for a car but in the end Grace sold him her old truck that she had been using the last few years of high school for a very cheap price and he had been using it ever since. It was pretty beat up by now and he could do with a new one but he decided to use that money to buy his own place instead. Then Ally came along and he knew it wasn't going to be easy so he saved and saved as much as he could.
Once they had looked at the house through and through both Toby and Maya knew it was the one. They just had a feeling from the moment they first stepped into the place. So they put in an offer and now they would just have to wait.
~~~ Up The Duff ~~~
The day had finally arrived. The day they had been waiting for, for a very long time. Sofia was a nervous wreck but super excited. Grace was kinda quiet and just took everything in her stride. Sofia continued to ask if she was sure about this and that there was still time to stop. But Grace just kept telling her that she was doing it.
For the last few weeks Sofia had been getting her injections to make her eggs mature and more fertile and Grace had passed her blood tests with flying colours. There was a brief moment of jealousy and resentment on Sofia's behalf because of this but she reminded herself that Grace was doing this huge thing for them so she nipped those bad feelings and focused on what was happening. They were getting pregnant and they would be starting their own family. That's what's important now.
Sofia's eggs had been extracted two days earlier and had been fertilized and were ready to go. All they needed to do now was plant the egg into Grace's womb and play the waiting game.
Grace nervously laid on the gurney as she watched her wife, Gloria and a nurse walk around the room getting everything ready for the insemination. Once Gloria had prepped Sofia once again the Latina headed over to her wife with a reassuring smile.
"Hey Gracie...how are you feeling?" Sofia gently asked as she took hold of her wife's hand.
"I'm good" Grace replied.
Sofia could hear the fear and nervousness in her voice so she quickly kissed her to calm her down.
"Last chance sweetie" Sofia softly reminded her
Grace shook her head.
"I'm doing this" She added with confidence.
Sofia smiled and kissed her again.
"I love you"
"You too...it's not gonna hurt right?" Grace asked
"No...I'll be super gentle" Sofia reassured her.
"Alright you ladies ready?" Gloria asked
Sofia looked back at her wife for confirmation Grace just nodded.
"Great...Sofia you know what you're doing?" She asked
"Yep" Sofia replied with a nod.
Sofia moved down to the end of the bed and placed her hands on Grace's ankles.
"Gracie I'm gonna put your legs in the stirrups now ok?"
"Ok" Grace replied in a small voice.
Sofia positioned her wife's legs and got herself settled on her stool as she put her gloves on. Gloria came around to help guide the young doctor. Sofia worked as gently as she could as she prepared Grace it was pretty similar to having a pap-smear so it was slightly uncomfortable. Sofia tried to concentrate on what she was doing but a part of her just could not get her head around the fact that she was about to get her wife pregnant. It was an overwhelming feeling, it wasn't a bad feeling. In fact Sofia was so happy she knew she would probably end up crying at some point. She just needed to take a second to fully comprehend this big step the two of them were taking.
They had pretty much done everything together since they first met when they were just little tiny babies and they would roll around on the floor together while their mothers watched over them. They shared everything, they had their own special language and they could have complete conversations with each other without even speaking one word. There was no doubt in Sofia's mind that they were soul mates and that everything that they had been through was just a lead up to this moment.
"You ok Gracie?" Sofia asked
"Yep" Grace quietly replied
"Ok we're ready to put my embryo in...you ready?" Sofia asked she was suddenly getting a little nervous herself.
"I'm ready" Grace finally replied as she looked down into her wife's eyes.
"I love you Grace" Sofia quietly said
"I love you too"
Gloria and the nurse just look at each other and silently 'awwed' they had to admit they were an adorable couple.
"Ok...here we go" Sofia let out a shaky breath as she readied herself.
And then just like that...it was done. Sofia had to quickly wipe away a stray tear before anyone noticed she was crying after she finished helping her wife get her legs out of the stirrups. Gloria and the nurse cleaned everything up while Sofia moved to go see her wife.
"So that's it huh?" Grace chuckled her voice was still a little shaky.
"That's it" Sofia nodded with a small smile.
"How long before we know it worked?" Grace then asked as she placed her hand over her stomach.
"About sixteen days...If you don't get your period we'll do a blood test to see if you're pregnant." Sofia replied as she gently brushed Grace's hair and placed her other hand on top of her wife's that rested on her tummy.
"This feels very surreal" Grace quietly spoke
"Remember I'll be right here with you ok? I'll do anything you need" Sofia quickly told her
"I know...this is really happening isn't it?"
"You're not gonna freak out on me are you?" Sofia asked with worry
"No...well...not yet" Grace chuckled.
Sofia just smiled and kissed her wife.
"Promise me that you'll tell me if you're scared or...or if you just need reassurance. Gracie I'm doing this with you...maybe not in the physical sense obviously but emotionally I am. I want to be here for you I want you to know without any doubt that I'll be there and I'll do anything for you and...and our baby" Sofia told her quietly. Her voice was shaky and her eyes were tearing up again.
Grace couldn't help but get all teary eyed as well.
"I promise" She replied with a smile.
