Now What?

Emy and Tegan wonder what to do

The two women sat on the couch farther apart than normal. They would glance at each other occasionally, unsure of how to interact alone.

"So…" Tegan looked around awkwardly, "What do you want to do?"

Emy peered over at her while mulling over her answer, "What I want to do is have amazing sex with my girlfriend and her twin, but we are one person short for that."

"I meant," Tegan chuckled nervously, "What should we do without Sara here?"

Emy closed her eyes and tried to think of another activity.

They had woken up that morning, all three of them, pressed up against each other in the king size bed. A phone call was what woke them.

"Hello?" Sara spoke groggily into the phone. After listening to the caller talk for a few seconds she was immediately awake, "That's today? Shit, I forgot. What time?" She paused to hear the answer, "Thank you for calling me. I'll be there in an hour." And she hung up.

"Who was that?" Emy asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"The dentist," Sara groaned, "I completely forgot that I had an appointment for a couple of fillings today."

"You have cavities?" Tegan looked incredulously at her sister, "I thought you were the type of person who took perfect care of their teeth and never had cavities!"

"Have you seen how much coffee she drinks?" Tegan laughed at Emy's question.

"So," Sara rolled her eyes at her laughing twin, "This means that you guys will be alone for at least an hour; or more if there's traffic."

"Are you somehow driving yourself?" Emy raised an eyebrow quizzically.

"No. But I don't want to force you to leave Tegan alone at our apartment, so I'll take a cab."

"Are you sure?" Emy rubbed Sara's bare back.

"I'm sure," Sara smiled at her, "You guys can have some fun while I'm getting my teeth drilled. Just not too much fun, please."

"Scouts honor!" Tegan put her hand over her heart.

"That's not how scout's salute," Sara shook her head, "And you definitely were never a scout."

"Whatever," Tegan waved the retort off, "Nothing will happen. Okay?"

"Okay," Sara got out of the bed and walked toward the closet, "I should probably put clothes on before going to the dentist."

Tegan and Emy both started to whine in protest.

"My appointment is in less than an hour guys!" Sara let out an exasperated sigh as she grabbed a shirt, "I have to put clothes on!"

"On one condition." Sara turned toward Tegan as she spoke, "You have to at least give us one last opportunity to kiss you before you get dressed."

"Jesus Tegan," Sara rolled her eyes, "I'm getting dressed, I'm not dying."

Despite her rolled eyes she agreed to Tegan's condition and gave each of them a slow kiss before putting her clothes on. Although they had nowhere to go, Tegan and Emy felt that it was for the best that they get dressed as well.

"Behave you two." She waved as she walked out the door.

"So…" Tegan's voice brought Emy back to reality, "Any clue what we can do?"

"Let's just watch a movie," Emy shrugged, "Something lighthearted."

"Princess Bride is always good." Tegan shrugged along with Emy, "And I'm sure it will help pass the time."

"Sounds good."

They watched (and quoted) the movie while still maintaining their distance on the couch. The credits rolled and Sara wasn't home yet, much to Emy's disappointment and worry.

"I'm gonna call Sara," Tegan nodded as Emy grabbed the phone, "Her appointment should be done now."

"Hello?" Sara picked up after the second ring.

"Hey baby," Emy was relieved, "Where are you?"

"I'm still out," Emy could hear excited voices in the background, "Just ran into a few big fans and got chatting. They're really lovely." Emy heard someone ask a question followed by a muffled, "Yes, it's Emy." More excited voices. "Christa and Jen, the fans, say hi."

"Tell them hi for me." Emy chuckled.

"Emy says hi." Sara chuckled at the still excited voices, "I should be home soon. As soon as I finish talking."

"Okay," Emy nodded, even though Sara couldn't see the gesture, "You don't have to cut your conversation short though."

"Okay," Emy guess that Sara probably nodded too, she usually did when talking to Tegan on the phone, "I'll see you soon!"

"See ya." Emy hung up, "Well," She looked over at Tegan, "It looks like we'll be alone for a little while longer."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Oh."

"You already said that." Emy shook her head.

"Oh." Tegan looked to be in a bit of a daze.

"Are you okay?" Emy snapped Tegan back into focus.

"Yeah," Tegan half smiled, "Just…uh…thinking about…uh…things."

"Things?"

"Yeah," Emy thought Tegan's eyes looked a bit dark, "Things."

As Tegan said "things" Emy saw her eyes rake over her body, "Oh! Things!"

"Yeah," Tegan smiled all of a sudden, "How long until Sara gets back?"

"I'm not sure, possibly very soon."

"Want to risk it?" Tegan raised her eyebrow meaningfully.

"Yeah," Emy nodded slowly, "Very much so."
