*Five Years Later...

Ramona Fuller walked into the living room as she said, "Hmm. There's something missing. Now what could it be?" Suddenly a little girl jumped out from under a blanket on the couch and said, "It's me grandma!" A smiling Ramona then went over to the couch and said, "There's my little Lee. Now jump on grandma's back for a horsey ride." The little girl: Lee jumped on Ramona's back as Ramona began to run around in circles in the room. Jackson then walked into the room and smiled as he said, "Having fun, are we?" Ramona then stopped to look at Jackson as she said, "Hey. Being a young grandmother is the coolest thing in the world. I get to spoil this little one here and still have enough energy to get crazy. My life is awesome!" Jackson then said, "Yeah well, awesome time can continue once Lee has a nap."

Ramona made a little sigh, and then said, "Okay. You want to have Lee jump on your back now then?" Jackson then with a matter of a fact smile on his face said, "Of course." Jackson then grabbed Lee and put her on his back as he said, "Quick. It's time to fly to nap time!" Jackson then ran out of the room with Lee on his back as the two yelled, "Weeee!" Ramona smiled as the front door opened and her daughter's girlfriend: Grace walked in. Ramona seeing Grace said, "Oh, hey Grace. How are you doing?" A nervous looking Grace then said, "Um... hey. Uh... can we talk... on the couch?" Ramona raised one eyebrow as she said, "Well... okay."

Ramona and Grace then both sat on the couch together as Grace nervously looked at Ramona and said, "So Mrs. Fuller... um... oh, this is already becoming more awkward than I thought it be." Ramona then with a sympathetic face said, "Grace, whatever it is, please don't be nervous. You have been a tremendous support to Tien, Lee, and even us over the last five years. You're more than just Tien's girlfriend to us. You're practically family. You can feel free to talk to me about anything." Grace then with a still reluctant face said, "Well... you see ever since Tien and Lee moved in with me, Tien has been... well... not receptive to getting intimate." A confused looking Ramona said, "Intimate?" Grace then looked away slightly as she said, "Physically intimate. I... uggh... let me explain..."

*Flashback to One Week Ago:

In their small apartment they lived in, Tien Fuller and Grace stepped out of a bedroom as Grace said, "Well, we finally got Lee to go to sleep." Tien then said, "Finally. Well then... until my new mattress comes in, if you need me, I'll be sleeping on the couch." Grace looked guilty as she said, "No Tien. You don't have to." Tien then quickly said, "Hey. I was the one that I accidentally tore it up. I'm not making you sleep on the couch of your home. I mean, you own this place. I don't mind sleeping on the couch." Grace then cautiously said, "No. I mean... you could sleep in my bed... with me." Tien looked suddenly surprised as she said, "Oh." Grace then looked nervous as she said, "I mean... if you're okay with it. I mean we've been close for so many years, it just seems like we're more than ready to..." Tien then cut Grace off and said, "Yes. I'll sleep with you." Grace then had a big smile on her face as she said, "Okay."

Within minutes, Tien and Grace found themselves laying in the same bed together wearing just their underwear. The two laid on their sides looking at each other smiling as Tien said, "What?" Grace then simply said, "Nothing. Just reminded how freaking hot you are." Tien smiled as she said, "Well... you obviously haven't been looking in the mirror enough, because you clearly forgot how your body redefines what hot is." Grace giggled a bit and said, "Thank you for finally doing this with me. I love you Tien." Grace then moved her face forward and kissed Tien on the lips.

The two girls then wrapped their arms around each other as they continued to kiss. Eventually Tien broke their kiss as she began to make light kisses on Grace's neck. Then Grace kissed Tien on the lips again and moved one of her hands down below the fabric of Tien's panties and then began to gently push one of her fingers into Tien's vagina. Tien then suddenly broke the kiss she was having with Grace, looking scared as she sat up and said, "No. I can't."

Grace then looked confused as she said, "Huh? What's wrong?" Tien then nervously turned away as she said, "I... I'm sorry Grace. I'm so sorry, but... I can't do this." Tien then sat still as her body began to shake. Grace then wrapped her arms around Tien in a loving way as she said, "It's okay Tien. We don't have to do anything you're not ready to do." However Tien just sat silent, her body still shaking as Grace simply hugged her.

In the present, a wide eyed and slightly caught off guard Ramona said, "Oh my. I... I didn't realize." Grace nodded and said, "Yeah. I mean she's fine with dancing and kissing, but whenever we start to get really... well... intimate, she suddenly starts to freak out and always pull away. I... I think Tien is afraid of being physically intimate because... well... you can probably guess why." Ramona looked a little sad as she sighed, and then said, "Well... have you two talked a lot about when Tien was raped five years?" Grace turned her head and said, "Not since Lee was born. She kind of brushes it off when I start to even mention it. Like she doesn't want to act like it happened. I... I was hoping you could help talk to her about it." Ramona then held Grace's hands with her own and said, "Grace... thank you for coming to me with this."

Several days later Ramona and Tien were taking a walk in the park together as Ramona said, "I'm glad we could do this. We don't get nearly enough mother/daughter alone time anymore." Tien smiled as she said, "Yeah. I know." Ramona then reluctantly said, "So...um... Grace came to see me the other day and... she said you've haven't seemed quite right whenever she tries to get intimate with you." A startled and surprised Tien then said, "What?" Ramona then said, "Please don't be mad at her Tien. Grace loves you and is trying to help you." Tien then began to look very nervous as she said, "I... I just don't feel like doing it with her. I'm just waiting for the right time." Ramona then simply said, "Sounds noble... but people who wait don't typically start to do it, and then suddenly freak out and pull away from their partners." Tien then looked away from Ramona with an upset look on her face. Ramona then put a hand on Tien's shoulder as she said, "Tien, it's okay if you're still not over what happened to you five years ago." Tien then looked right at Ramona and said, "Mom. I am over it. I've been busy being a teen mother. I worked hard to graduate from high school on time so I can hopefully get a good job and provide for Lee properly one day, and I've been working hard to give Lee all of the free time I can. I obviously couldn't do those things if I wasn't over what happened." Ramona then simply said, "Tien, you have done so much good over the last five years. And you've been a very loving and focused mother. But... do you think you've been using the need to be a focused mother as a barrier to deal with what made you become a mother in the first place?"

Tien then looked away from Ramona for a moment and was silent. Tien then looked at Ramona with tears in her eyes as she said, "You think I haven't been dealing with it? Mom, I think about it every day still. How my body was violated. How a sensation that should've felt so pleasurable got mixed with one so horrible. And those feelings have turned into anger mom. So much anger I have for the man that raped me. I hate it so much, and a part of me hopes that if I keep loving my child harder and harder, maybe that anger will go away. But it doesn't. Deep down I'm so angry every day that I don't feel like I deserve to be intimate with anyone, until I find a way to release that anger." Ramona looked down for a long moment, but then raised her head up and said, "There's only one way I can think of that can help you let go of your anger. But it's not going to be easy. I guarantee you: it will not be easy."

A few days later, Ramona and Tien entered a prison. The two sat at a table that had a window in front of it. After a few minutes of waiting, a man in an orange jumpsuit: a prisoner, sat in front of them. Tien looked right at the man as she said, "Do you know who I am?" The man nodded as he had a look of shame on his face. Tien who began to look a bit nervous said, "I... I was told during the trial five years ago that you were diagnosed with some sort of mental illness when you were younger. Some form of depression. Your lawyer tried to use that to help lessen your sentence, even though it failed. I don't think it was a good enough reason to excuse what you did. But it tells me that you were hurting inside. And well... I can relate to hurting a lot inside too. Mostly because of what you did but..." Tien then began to cry as she lost the ability to keep speaking.

The man then said, "I... I'm sorry. I know that's not good enough but... I'm sorry." Tien then brought herself back a bit to being more composed as she said, "I... I... I forgive you. For so long I didn't want to but... my mom said it would help me... and maybe it'll help you too. I forgive you." Tien then took out from her pocket: a picture of Lee and said, "I'm probably never going to let you meet her but... this is your daughter. I named her Lee. Don't worry about her by the way. She's being raised by a loving group of family and friends." The man looked at the picture for a long moment and then said, "Thank you." Tien then got up and said, "Yeah. You're welcome." Tien then stood up as tears began to run out of her eyes. Tien than ran out of the room as Ramona followed her. Once the two were outside the building Tien fell to the ground and began crying. Ramona then held Tien in her arms and held her close as Tien's sobbing continued, but slowly... her crying began to end.

Several weeks later, Tien was laying in bed, as Grace stepped into the bedroom. Grace then laid down next to Tien, with their bodies pointed in opposite directions, but their heads looking directly at one another. A smiling Grace said, "Mind if I join you in bed?" Tien then made her own smile as she said, "Sure." A curious looking Grace then said, "You sure, you're sure? You usually say no whenever I used to ask you." Tien then simply smiled as she said, "Well that was then... and this is now. I'm better now."

Grace smiled as she said, "I'm so glad." The two young women then moved their bodies as they kissed each other. Soon then wrapped their arms around each other's backs. Then Grace moved her hands down and had them touch Tien's butt. Grace then broke her kiss with Tien and said, "Mmm. Your butt feels so amazing." Tien meanwhile smiled as she said, "Well you are so amazing." The two girls began to kiss again, but this time Grace moved one of her hands under Tien's pants and underwear, and slowly began to move her fingers to Tien's vagina. Suddenly though Tien looked very nervous and scared again. Tien moved away shaking as she said, "You know, I just remembered. I have to get to class early today for a thing. Sorry but uh... I'll see you." Tien then rushed out of the room, leaving Grace looking confused and concerned.

Tien sat in the living room of her parents' home with Ramona, looking ashamed as she said, "I can't believed I bailed on her like that mom. Grace has been so good to me, and I... I just ran away like she was violating me." Ramona had a sympathetic face as she said, "Tien, it's okay. You said you didn't curl up into a ball or freeze up, and you've come to someone for advice. You've made progress." Tien then put her hands over her face as she said, "Ugg, this is just so messed up. I thought once I finally forgave the man who raped me, my road to recovery would be quick. And yet, I'm still... broken."

Ramona then put a hand on Tien's shoulder as she said, "Tien, you're always gonna feel a little off for the rest of your life. When I think back to how people hurt me, I never feel okay with it. But I have to remember that despite what's happened to me, I'm allowed to feel happy." Tien then slowly said, "Well... it's the feelings part that's hard. It's like... every time Grace's hands or even my own hand touch my private region... I just keep remembering what I felt the first time someone ever touched that part of me."

Ramona then curiously asked, "Well Tien, what has your therapist said about those feelings?" Tien then simply said, "That I should try to associate the feelings of being in bed with someone with other happy feelings I have." Ramona then reluctantly said, "Well... this is gonna sound strange coming from your mother, but... maybe you should try pleasuring yourself alone for awhile before being intimate with Grace. You know... put your hands down below and please yourself."

Tien looked a bit shocked as she said, "Wait. You mean you want me to masturbate?" Ramona then simply said, "Yeah, but not like to porn or anything like that. Just pleasure yourself at your own pace, but instead of thinking back on any bad memories, think about all of the good times you've had with Grace. Think about your first date, all the times she's helped you out, and then also think about the future you want with her. Think about how youwant to be intimate with her one day. Let those good thoughts and feelings be associated with sexual feelings." Tien took a deep breath and then said, "Okay."

Tien lay on her bed naked in the evening as she looked up at the ceiling, and then closed her eyes. Tien then brought two of her fingers to her vagina, and then stuck them inside beginning to pleasure herself. As Tien moved her fingers back and forth, giving herself pleasure she said to herself, "I like you Grace. I mean... I really, really like you Grace. I mean... I like you, like you." Tien then moaned a bit and said, "Oh Grace. Oh... I wanna make you so happy. Oh yes. Yes! Oh yeah Grace! Ohhhh!" Suddenly: Grace opened the door to the bedroom and said, "I heard noises and... Oh my!" Tien opened and her eyes and both she and Grace both froze in embarrassment. Tien realized Grace could see she was in the middle of self-pleasure, while Grace's face simply turned red.

Tien then covered herself with a blanket and said, "Um... it's not what it looks like... even though... yeah, it's exactly what it looks like." Grace then looked a bit embarrassed as she said, "Well... to be fair... you know those couple of times I told you loudly not come into my room while I was in there even though I usually let you do?" Tien nodded and said, "Yeah." Grace then slowly said, "Well... I was kind of... doing my own self pleasure too. I mean a girl has needs and..." Tien then suddenly began to giggle. This then caused Grace to giggle too, and then both girls began to laugh.

Several weeks later, Grace was in the middle of taking a warm shower all alone. Suddenly Tien sneaked into the bathroom quietly, took off all her clothes, and got into the shower with Grace. Tien then smirked as she said, "Hey beautiful." A confused looking Grace turned her head as she said, "Tien? What are you doing in here?" Tien put a hand near her hip as she said, "I just thought I'd join you for once in the shower." A surprised but happy Grace said, "Really?" Tien then wrapped her arms around Grace's body as she said said, "Really. I mean... Grace... I don't think I've thanked you enough for being so amazing for letting me and Lee move in with you, even when I asked for us all to sleep in separate rooms. It... it has meant so much to us. You... you mean so much to me." Grace then smiled and said, "Tien, we've been through this before. We love each other, and I'm willing to do anything for you. You're my best friend.

Tien then moved her hands up around Grace's neck remaining fully closed as she said, "Well the thing is Grace, you're more than my best friend. You're my amazing dream. And I don't want anything to keep us apart in anyway whatsoever. And I know you didn't want to take the initiative to do this, since you weren't sure I was ready, so I decided it would be best if I did it." A confused Grace then said, "Did what?" Tien then moved her hands in front of Grace's eyes and opened them up to show she was holding a diamond ring. Grace's mouth opened up and then she moved her hands to her mouth to cover it as her eyes widened in amazement. Tien then nestled her head against Grace's and said, "Grace... will you marry me?"

Grace then looked right at Tien and said, "Yes Tien Fuller. Yes, I will!" Grace and Tien then wrapped their arms around each other and kissed for a long solid minute. Once their kiss ended, Grace then took the diamond ring from Tien and put it on her ring finger. As Grace looked at it she said, "It's beautiful. Wow. I... I'm sorry I didn't get you one or..." Tien then suddenly held up another ring as she said, "I already got one for myself. Wanted to make sure we definitely had a matching pair." A confused looking Grace then said, "What the? Tien, where were you hiding that? You're naked." Tien smirked as she said, "Between my butt cheeks. You can hide a lot there if you just clench them the right way." Grace giggled as she said, "Oh my gosh. You know for the rest of our lives, people are gonna ask about how you proposed to me, and I'm never gonna be able to tell them the truth." Tien giggled too as she and Grace embraced the other and began to kiss again.

A few hours later Tien and Grace were fully clothed and sitting in their living room on the couch kissing each other with their arms wrapped around each other. Eventually their kiss broke as Tien said, "Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't believe we're getting married. We're really getting married!" Grace then said, "I know. We're getting married. I know this is like the 200th time either of us has said it but... we're getting married!" Tien then said, "You know what? We keep saying it to each other but we gotta figure out who else we tell and in what order. I mean there's obviously our parents." Grace then excitedly said, "Then all our uncles. Then our friends from school. And we should call up some our favorite teachers and..." Suddenly the two were interrupted by the sound of a little girl saying, "Mommy, where's breakfast?" Tien and Grace then turned their heads and saw Tien's daughter: Lee in her pajamas step into the room. Tien and Grace then looked at each other as Tien said, "Actually... Lee should be the first to know."

Later: Tien, Grace, and Lee were all sitting in Lee's bedroom that was full of toys. Tien then said in a warm voice, "So Lee. Me and Grace wanted to tell you something. You know how Grace has always been mommy's amazing best friend. Well... the two of us want to be more than best friends. We... we want to get married." With an emotionless face, Lee said, "Married?" Grace then smiled as she said, "Yeah. I love your mommy Lee, and I want to love her forever. And I want you to know, I want to love you the way your mommy does too forever." Tien, with a warm voice then said, "So when me and Grace get married, it'll kind of be like Grace is your second mommy. Is that okay?" Lee simply looked at Tien and Grace with an emotionless deadpan face, as both Tien and Grace began to look and feel more and more nervous.

Lee then held up a plastic tea cup and said, "Will you have a tea party with me Grace?" A surprised Grace then said, "What?" Lee then happily said, "Yeah. Mr. Elephant will make it, and then you, me, and mommy will drink it together." Grace made a little smile and said, "Okay." Lee then held up a toy elephant near the plastic tea cup, and then handed the tea cup to Grace. Lee then said, "Do you like it?" Grace pretended to sip some tea and then said, "It's the best tea in the world." Lee then held her elephant toy near her ear and then said, "Mr. Elephant is glad you have amazing good taste. He says you can have tea with with me and mommy whenever you want from now on." Grace then made a big smile and said, "That's good to know." Tien and Grace then each put an arm around each other and smiled as they continued to play with Lee.

Two months later: Grace and Tien both sat in a hotel room wearing bath robes as a smiling Grace looked at Tien and said, "I can't believe we finally reached this moment. The night of our wedding." Tien smiled and said, "Okay. Bath robes off in one, two, three." The two young women then slipped off their bath robes and looked at each other's naked bodies with smiles. A curious Grace then asked, "You finally ready to go all the way?" Tien nodded, but still looked a little nervous as she bent her knees and hugged her legs. Grace then made a reassuring smile as she said, "It's okay Tien. You're safe. You are loved... and this is going to be the greatest night of your life."

Tien slowly lowered her legs and looked deep into Grace's eyes, as Grace gave her a reassuring smile. Grace and Tien then moved towards each other, put their arms around each other, and then began to kiss as they fell onto the bed together. After a moment, Tien then had her lips part from Grace's and began to make light kisses down her neck. Tien then brought her mouth to Grace's breasts and began to suck on her nipples. Grace began to moan as she then dug her fingers into Tien's long hair. Tien then put her hands on the sides of Grace's breasts and began to squeeze them as she continued to suck her wife's nipples. Grace moaned as she dug her fingers into Tien's smooth butt.

Tien then eventually stopped and said, "Well now it's time I meet your other lips ." Tien covered their two bodies with a blanket, and then began to move her head under the blanket as Grace said, "Wait. Can you see under the blanket? Maybe we should just take it off." Tien then simply said, "No. It'll be fine." Tien then moved her head under the blanket as she began to move her face down Grace's body. After a moment, Grace giggled and said, "So Tien... that's my belly button you have your tongue inside." Tien then stuck her head up from under the blanket and said, "Maybe we should take this blanket off." Grace and Tien then looked right into each other's eyes silently for a moment, and then suddenly burst out in giggling.

Tien then threw the blanket off to the side and then brought her lips close to Grace's vagina. Tien found herself staring at Grace's wonderful womanhood for a moment. Then Tien the suck her tongue into it causing Grace to immediately moan. Grace closed her eyes as she immediately said, "Oh yeah. Ohhh. Oh, Tien. Higher. Higher. No, a bit lower and... There. Oh yeah. There. Oh God, that feels amazing." However before Grace got too wet, Tien sat up as she said, "Okay. My turn." Tien them spread out her legs, as Grace got on her knees as she faced Tien.

Eventually Tien got on her back as Grace crawled towards and said, "You ready?" Tien nodded her head quickly in excitement. Then... Grace pushed her tongue into Tien's vagina. Tien began to moan as she said, "Oh! Oh, wow. Ooooh. OHHHH! Oh Grace. Oh God, I didn't know a tongue could be that long, and... Ohhhhhh! Ooooohhhhhhhh!" Tien then orgasmed, shooting much of her light colored liquids onto Grace's face. Grace then immediately brought her face to Tien's face and kissed her. After a few seconds, Tien broke the kiss with Grace and said, "Gross. That's my own girl juices you just pushed into my mouth." Grace grinned as she said, "Well if you didn't like that, I have other ways of toying with you." Grace then immediately flipped Tien over and began to kiss Tien's butt, causing Tien to moan even more.

Awhile later, Tien then began rubbing her vagina against the top of Grace's right leg, while Grace was rubbing her vagina against Tien's left leg. Tien then said, "Oh Grace. Ohhhhh God. This feels amazing. Ohhhh! Oohhhh! Oooohhh!" Then Grace said, "Oh yeah Tien. Ohhhh! Ohhhh! Ooooohhhh!" Then the two then both moaned loudly as they both experienced an orgasm together, as they hugged each other tightly. Then... it ended. The two girls then sat up as they began to clean themselves off.

As they cleaned themselves off though, Tien looked back at Grace as she said, "Grace... that was... amazing. I never dreamed it could feel that amazing." Grace smiled back as she said, "I'm so glad we did that too." The two women then fell back into bed together as they kissed. Eventually Grace broke their kiss as she said, "Thank you for finally making love to me Tien. I've never felt so happy." Tien then hugged Grace tightly as she said, "And thank you ... for waiting for me to be ready. I love you so much Grace... and I'm gonna love you forever." Tien then nestled her face against Grace's head, and the two young women began to fall asleep together as the night went on.
