Stolen Moments 12/? (Part Two)
Chapter Twelve (Part One)
“Happy Birthday Mija,” Callie felt the air shoot out of her as her mother’s arms tightened around her. She felt her mom pull back to look at her; her hands going up to cup her cheeks, “You look well Calliope; those chubby cheeks of yours have finally disappeared.”
“Mom…” Callie whined as she swatted her mom’s hands away from pinching her cheeks. She noticed her mother’s eyes looking past her and immediately pulled out of her arms and stretched her hand out to Erica who was hovering in the background, “Mom this is Erica,” she watched her mom’s eyes dart curiously around the blonde’s face, “My girlfriend,” she added for good measure.
“Why don’t you greet Erica kindly Carla,” all three pairs of eyes travelled to Callie’s dad who was smiling at them brightly as he approached, “Happy Birthday Calliope,” he kissed her cheek and then placed one onto Erica’s cheek, “I’m glad you brought our baby girl home for her birthday Erica; I’m looking forward to making you feel part of the Torres family this weekend.”
Erica smiled at him, “I’ve never been to Florida before and Callie keeps telling me about how great it was growing up here; I’m excited to see the sights,” Erica turned towards Callie’s mom and held her hand out, “It’s nice to finally meet you Mrs Torres. Callie never stops talking about your cooking.”
Callie held her breath as she waited for her mom to react; letting out a deep breath when she pushed Erica’s hand away and pulled her into a hug, “It’s nice to finally meet you to Dr Hahn; My husband and daughter can’t stop talking about you,” Erica laughed and Callie raised her eyebrow questioningly at her father, “And Mrs Torres is what we call Hector’s mother; please call me Carla.”
“Only if you call me Erica,” she felt Callie squeeze her hand and turned to give her a smile, “Dr Hahn is only the costume I wear to work.”
“Well Erica let me give you the tour of our house,” she placed her hand on the blonde’s back and led her towards the house, “Hector, Calliope, you can get the bags,” she called over her shoulder.
Callie watched her mom and Erica chatting and smiling as they disappeared into the house, turning to accept the bag her father was holding out to her, “I would be annoyed at having to carry bags on my birthday but seeing mom being nice to Erica makes me too happy to care,” she lifted the bag’s strap over her shoulder and eyed her father carefully, “What exactly have you been telling mom about her?”
Her father chuckled and lifted his finger to his nose, gently tapping it, “Never you mind Mija…I promised you that Erica would be welcome at our house and as part of our family and that’s exactly what’s going to happen,” he lifted the other bag and nodded his head towards the house, “We better go and make sure that your mother hasn’t talked Erica’s ear off with your childhood stories.”
Callie laughed and then her eyes widened, “Ah shit!” she turned to her dad, “My childhood photo albums!”
He watched Callie hurry towards the house and let out a laugh, knowing that every time his daughter brought someone home for them to meet; whether it friends or partners, his wife couldn’t resist proudly showing their daughters childhood photo albums to them.
------------------------
The rest of the day spent with Torres’ went well…well Callie was upset that Erica got to see her baby pictures and hear all her embarrassing childhood stories but was quickly able to let that go as her father and mother continued to treat Erica with affection.
Her mother had cooked a wonderful meal and when Erica offered to help with the cleaning up Callie had laughed at the shock on her mother’s face…no one had ever asked to help her with that before and she was pretty sure Erica was quickly growing on her…they didn’t mention that the reason no one helped her mother with the dishes was because they had a maid.
Her father…well she couldn’t believe this was the same man who had made her choose between her family and the woman she loved and seeing him and Erica talking and joking as he showed her around some of his favourite places had made her heart melt even more.
“Stop laughing,” Callie called over her shoulder as they headed up the stairs to her old childhood room.
“I’m sorry…I just can’t stop thinking about it,” she let Callie lead her down the hallway and smiled as she look in all the stickers and other bits child Callie must have decorated her door with.
Callie turned to glare at her; crossing her arms over her chest and narrowing her eyes, “I hate my mother for showing you those photos of me…” she opened her door and plopped down on her bed, “Now when you look at me all you’ll see is the chubby weirdo I was as a child and you’ll go off me…those photos always scare people off.”
“Aww baby,” Erica quickly moved into the room; hurrying to stand in front of Callie; her hands cupping her warm cheeks and titling her head so that brown eyes were looking up at her, “Nothing, you hear me,” Callie nodded, “Nothing could ever put me off you; you’re beautiful,” she brushed a kiss onto her forehead and moved to sit down next to her on the bed.
“Yeah…well…I wasn’t then and you said you couldn’t stop thinking about them,” Callie mumbled and quickly glanced at Erica; turning to look at the posters covering her walls.
“Baby…” Erica threaded her hand with Callie’s; pulling their hands to rest in her lap and drawing brown eyes to her own, “Everyone has embarrassing childhood photos; trust me…I can even get Troy to show you some of me and him,” Callie smiled at that thought, “I was only talking about that one photo…you know, the one where you had dyed your hair pink to make it look like candy-floss….I mean come on Cal, what the hell was that?”
Callie let out an embarrassed groan as her head fell to rest on the blonde’s shoulder, “I was a chubby child okay? I liked candy-floss.”
Erica laughed, “Is that why you used to chew on your hair? Because you thought it would taste like candy-floss?”
“I don’t want to talk about it,” Callie laughed.
“Well I still think you’re cute…even if you think ‘hair’ is a food category,” Callie turned her head towards blue eyes; pursing her lips together and shaking her head in amusement.
“You’re lucky I love you Hahn because I so wouldn’t have let that hair joke go if it had been anyone else,” Erica leaned forward and nuzzled Callie’s nose with her own, giving her a smile before leaning forwards to close the space between them.
“Mija it’s late you should-” Erica pulled back from Callie’s lips and turned to see Carla in the doorway; a flicker of shock dancing around her eyes at what she’d just seen. She cleared her throat, “Erm…sorry to interrupt…but it’s late and me and your father are going to bed…And I just thought I’d show Erica to one of the guest bedrooms.”
Erica stood from the bed and offered her a smile, “Of course Carla, that’d be lovely, thank you.”
“Mom…” Callie jumped off the bed and moved towards her; lowering her voice so Erica wouldn’t hear, “We’re kind of adults…we were going to sleep together…like in a bed next to each other together.”
“There is no way you’re having sex in this house Calliope!”
Erica’s eyes widened, “Erm I don’t mind sleeping in another room Cal, its fine.”
Callie turned to Erica and shot her a look that said ‘shut-up now’ and then back to her mom, “I wasn’t talking about sex…I was talking about sleeping, like actually asleep…next to each other, in one bed.”
“I have no problem with you two sleeping in the same bed…I’m not naïve Mija,” she shook her head and turned to Erica, “Our Calliope is a bit of a sex addict from what I overheard when she came to visit us with her friend Addison and it’s no offence to you my dear, I just don’t want my daughter having sex in the house I conceived her in-”
“Ew! Mom!” Callie looked at her in shock, “To much information and I am not a sex add-”
“As I was saying Erica, you’re very beautiful and Calliope has always been a rebellious child so I think she’d ignore my rule if I allowed you two to sleep in the same bed…I hope you understand.”
Erica smiled brightly, “I’m fine with it Carla, seriously,” she grabbed her bag; placed a kiss on Callie’s lips, “Night baby,” before heading down the hall to one of the guest rooms.
Callie sighed and flopped down on her bed; her hands running over her face, “Parent’s suck!”
------------------------
Callie reached her hand out and hit her clock on her bedside table, the digital numbers appearing on the ceiling; 3.46am. She’d been awake for hours, twisting, turning, trying to get comfortable, closing her eyes and willing herself to sleep. But her mind just wouldn’t shut down and being an adult in your childhood house kind of sucks….because lets face it, your parents are sleeping somewhere within the house and that means that any noise made will wake them, leading to them getting up and finding the location of the noise and yelling that it’s late and that you should be asleep…no matter how old you are.
Making her mind up Callie let out a sigh of irritation and threw back her covers; swinging her legs of the bed and standing quietly. She tiptoed to her door; her hand grasping the door handle and slowly pulling it down and pulling the door open enough to slip through it.
She turned her head to the left and saw her parents room; unable to see any light shining out from under their door she took that as a green light and turned back to the right; creeping down the hallway and stopping outside the guestroom. Carefully pulling down the handle and opening the door just enough to slip into the room; clicking the door quietly shut behind herself.
Callie moved closer to the bed and smiled to herself; Erica was fast asleep, her face completely relaxed and peaceful, and Callie couldn’t help but reach out to brush the stray curl off of her face, she was just so damn beautiful.
Blue eyes fluttered open; her voice laced with sleep, “Cal?”
Callie lifted her finger to Erica’s mouth, “Shh…scoot over.”
“Cal your mom said-”
“Shh…just scoot over Erica.”
Erica gave her a questioning look and shuffled to the left side of the bed, creating enough room for Callie to slip in next to her and pulling the covers back over them; locking them in a cocoon of heat.
Callie instantly snuggled into Erica’s body; their faces only a breath away from each other, “Couldn’t sleep?” she felt Callie sling a leg over her hip; pulling them closer together and moved her hand to rest on her back; lightly moving it up and down soothingly.
“Something like that,” Callie lifted her hand to brush the stray curl away again.
“Want to tell me what’s going on in that gorgeous head of yours?”
Callie shook her head, “Not really,” she saw the look of concern in Erica’s blue eyes and leaned forward so that their lips were brushing, “I’d rather show you,” she heard Erica’s breath hitch and pressed their lips together, letting her tongue instantly dance across the blonde’s lush bottom lip and nipping at it with her teeth before allowing their tongues to stroke in a languid kiss that left them feeling each other everywhere.
Callie let her fingers trace along Erica’s jaw and down her neck; her hand resting on her shoulder and pushing her backwards to lay flat against the bed; moving to instantly straddle her hips.
Callie broke their kiss and sat up lowering her hands to the bottom of her nightie and pulling it off and away from her body in one quick motion; leaving her completely exposed under Erica’s piercing gaze.
“Callie we can’t,” Erica hissed.
Callie laughed quietly at the scandalised look that covered Erica’s face and leaned down to pull the blonde into a sitting position; her hands bunching up Erica’s own nightie enough so that she could pull it off of the blonde’s body; tossing it onto the floor with her own.
She let her lips kiss Erica’s chin and nibbled along her jaw-line; her tongue running across the sweet spot below her ear making the blonde moan. Callie trailed her tongue around the shell of Erica’s ear and huskily breathed, “We’re going to have to do this the quiet way baby,” she nipped the blonde’s lobe with her teeth and leaned back to reclaim her lips; their tongues coming together in a heated duel.
Callie pressed her body further into the blonde’s indicating for her to lay back. She felt hands tangle in her hair as she moved her lips back to the sweet skin of Erica’s neck, continuing a trail of kisses, licks and nips as she slid further down the blonde’s body; flashing her a sexy smirk as she teasingly traced her nails around rosy nipples; loving the way Erica bucked her hips and lifted her hand to cover her mouth to keep in her whimper of approval.
The dark-haired woman lifted her fingers to her lips; sucking her thumbs and index finger into her mouth as lust filled blue eyes watched her carefully. Lowering her hands back to the blonde’s full breasts she used her thumbs and index fingers to tweak and roll sensitive peaks; the moisture on her fingertips allowing them to slide easily under her touch.
“Fuck Cal,” Erica couldn’t help but moan out; her hand quickly going back to her mouth; her teeth biting into the skin on the back of her hand as Callie continued to tease her.
Callie rocked her hips against the blonde’s and smiled in satisfaction as a muffled moan escaped from behind Erica’s hand. Dipping her head down she suck one of the peaks into her mouth; grazing it with her teeth as she continued to tease the other one with her dampened fingers.
Using her free hand she traced small circles down the blonde’s stomach; enjoying the way she shivered under her touch. Erica tangled a hand into dark tresses and tugged upwards drawing Callie’s mouth back to her own; thankful that she silenced her moans with her luxurious lips.
Callie shifted her position and worked her hand between them; her fingers easily finding Erica’s swollen bundle of nerves. Erica head dropped back onto the pillow; Callie’s lips immediately going to suck on her neck as her fingers trailed through the blonde’s wet slit finding easy access to her centre as her thumb continued to add pressure onto her clit.
Callie felt Erica’s walls begin to tighten and slowed the movement of her fingers wanting to draw out the blonde’s impeding release as much as possible. The muffled moans she’d been hearing now turned to whimpers.
“Callie please…don’t stop…fuck…” Erica felt her eyes roll back in her head as Callie’s fingers picked up their pace again and her lips moved from her neck to nip her lobe; the dark-haired woman’s breath panting against her ear.
Erica felt the muscles in her stomach tighten in anticipation and leaned her head up; her teeth biting into Callie’s shoulder as she felt fingers curl inside her, silencing her scream of release.
Callie groaned as Erica’s teeth pierced her skin; feeling the blonde’s body relaxing beneath her she rolled off her and onto her side; drawing her slick covered fingers to her mouth and licking them clean before sucking them into her mouth and smacking her lips together in delight.
Erica felt her breathing return to normal and shook her head, “You are a sex addict, your mom was right.”
Callie let out a laugh, “She wasn’t right about that…okay maybe she was,” she gave Erica a sexy smirk, “But she was right about one thing…I am rebellious.”
Erica laughed, “We…no, you…broke her rule.”
“Hey, you broke it to and besides who tells a rebellious person that they can’t have something? It only makes them want it so much more,” she placed a chaste kiss on the blonde’s kiss bruised lips, “And getting what they tell you that you can’t have makes it so so much better.”
------------------------
Callie managed to sneak back to her room before her parent’s woke up; hurrying to shower and change so that she could go down stairs. Her eyes caught sight of her favourite blonde and she moved to wrap her arms around her waist; pulling Erica’s back into her chest as her head settled comfortably on her shoulder.
“Morning,” she nuzzled the blonde’s neck; placing a lingering kiss against her skin as arms wrapped around her own holding her closer.
“Morning you,” Erica leaned into Callie’s embrace, “Who are all these photos of?” blue eyes continued to trail across the wall; taking in all the smiley faces of adults, children and babies. Her eyes taking note of Callie and her parents in some of them.
“They’re all Torres’....My mother and father both have six siblings each, so I have a whole lot of auntie’s, uncle’s and not to mention millions of cousins…we’re a big family.”
“I can tell,” Erica smiled as she looked at the pictures of Callie’s uncle’s and auntie’s with their own groups of children, “Do all the members in your family think it’s like a rule to have six children?”
Callie laughed, “You’d think so…I guess they just all wanted big families…my mom and dad did too, but mom had a hard time with her pregnancy with me and she had a lot of trouble giving birth so she couldn’t have anymore children…having these photos of everyone makes her feel better.”
Erica turned in Callie’s arms so that they were facing each other, “I’m sorry…It must seem like I’m being really nosey.”
Callie shook her head and ran her hands up and down the blonde’s back, “You’re not being nosey…you’re part of our family now, so you get to ask all the questions you want…and just think you get to meet all of this lot too,” Callie nodded her head towards the photographs.
Erica pulled out of her arms and linked their hands so that they were both staring up at the photos, “Eh, lots of bratty snot nosed children all wanting to jump on me and crying when they don’t get their own way…I can’t wait-”
Callie felt her heart drop at Erica’s words, “Oh…”
Erica beamed a smile at her and placed a quick kiss on her lips, “I can’t wait for us to settle down, get married and have children of our own…I mean with your looks our kids are going to be gorgeous and of course they’d be smart like us…so we’d have a bunch of wonderfully beautiful intelligent kids,” she squeezed Callie’s hand and headed towards the kitchen, calling over her shoulder, “There’s no way we’re having six though.”
Callie felt her mouth drop open as she watched Erica walk down the hallway…a minute ago she’d felt her heart drop to the floor but as always the blonde had completely surprised her. Being part of a family makes you feel complete; you’re part of something that may not be perfect but is none the less whole…Erica didn’t get to have a family growing up, she didn’t get to feel that safeness of unconditional love but as Callie headed into the kitchen and saw Erica happily chatting away with her parents, she knew that the blonde finally would get to experience being apart of a family; her family and that feeling; knowing that the two most important groups of people in her life were merging into one happy whole family was enough to melt her heart completely…Callie couldn’t help but smile as she watched the woman she loved easily become part of her family…and knowing that one day that family will eventually include their own children…yeah that was pretty damn special.
