Oh, this is gonna be a gas!

Monsters Under the Bed.

"Mama!"

"Mama!"

Jo opened her eyes slowly to see two little kids jumping on her. "What?!"

"Mama! Get up!"

Jo smiled "I'm getting up baby what is it?"

"Mommy said we have a visitor and to wake you up." The girl said

"Oh did she now?"

"She did Mama now come on!"

They each took one of Jo's hands pulling her down the stairs. When she walked into the living room Jo felt two hands wrap around her waist "I see the twins woke you."

Jo smiled "They did. Whos here?"

"Your father."

Jo instantly paled "Who?"

"Your father baby."

"Where is he?"

"With the twins-"

Jo took off running through the house toward the back door she ran outside to see her father standing between the boy and girl a hand on each shoulder "Step away from them."

Her father looked at her bewildered "Why?"

"You beat me as a child. I swore you would never come near my kids."

"Sweetie, what are you talking about?"

"Oh come on Dad! You used to wail on Mom until she died then you wailed on me."

"Jo, what are you talking about? Your mothers not dead."

"Where is she?"

"Back here."

Jo turned around to see her Mom behind her "Mama?"

"Yes Josephine,"

"Mama, what are you doing here? Why is Dad here?"

"I don't know honey. You are the one who called me."

"Called you from where."

"Heaven."

"Mama why is Dad here."

"I don't know. You tell me, angel."

"Mama what happened to you."

"Ah. There it is. Those two munchkins back there have you thinking."

Jo turned to see Lizzie squatted in the gardening beds pointing things out to the twins. "Yeah, they have."

"How I was as a mother does not define what kind of mother you will be."

"You were a good mother."

"I left you."

"You didn't have a choice."

"Or did I?"

"What are you talking about Mama?"

"Sorry baby. I have to go."

"Mama?!"

"JO!"

Jo turned to see her father standing over the twin's nightstick in hand. She tried to move so fast but only seemed to go slow. Next thing she knew she was covering the twins just as she was about to feel the familiar crack of the nightstick she bolted upright in bed. She breathed heavily as she looked to her right to see Lizzie fast asleep, She took a sigh of relief before slowly standing. She made her way into their bathroom. She gently closed the door reaching a shaky hand out to turn the lights on. She braced against the edge of the sink letting her head han\g low before bringing her eyes up to the mirror. What she saw was a constant reminder of both the best and the worst of her. She had his lips. She hated that most. The lips he used for hatred reflected on her. Lizzie always said that Jo was meant to have those lips meant to rebrand them into the kind of lips that loved but deep down Jo was always sad to have them. She had her mother's nose and eyes. She let her fingers run along her cheekbones, carbon copies of her Mothers' Grandmother. Her jaw was also from her mother's side. A few minutes had passed and there was a knock on the door "Baby are you okay?"

"Yeah love. I'll be right out." Jo took one last look before closing the door making her way into the bedroom where Lizzie stood wait.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just had to pee."

Lizzie nodded unconvinced but not wanting to push. Whan they laid down Lizzie went to wrap her arms around Jo but Jo gently and quickly flipped her so she could hold her. "Are you okay?" 

Jo kissed the back of Lizzies head wrapping her arms firmly around her. Jo sniffled "I just love you so much."

"Oh, baby I love you too."

Jo wrapped her arms snuggly across Lizzies midsection "And I love our two babies."

Lizzie turned slightly so she could look at Jo "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Not nothing. You said, babies. First I'm not pregnant. second, if I ever do have twins I will kill you because it will be your fault."

"How-" Jo started

"I don't know! I just know it would be your fault."

Jo laughed kissing Lizzies head again "I would die a happy woman."

"I swear to God Jo if you die and I have twins I will hurt you."

"So you would kill me because it would be my fault but then you would hurt me for dying and leaving you with two babies."

"Exactly. Glad we are on the same page."

Jo smiled at her wife "You are trouble. Mrs. Olsen"

"Is that so Mrs. Olsen."

"It is indeed."

"What kind of trouble?"

Jo leaned down whispering in her ear "The best kind."

"Rollover."

"What?"

"Just roll over Jo."

Jo did as she was told going and laying on her stomach. Lizzie removed the covers before sitting on Jo's butt straddling her hips. "I know you have been stressed. I also know you started your period which means more nightmares. When you have nightmares you always try to seduce me."

"I do no-" she paused "oh, I do"

"I love you so much and if doing that after a nightmare makes you feel better then I will be there for you but if you are using sex as a way to avoid sleep I won't be a part of that."

"I just need to feel something after the nad ones."

"Oh baby that's okay. I understand."

"So you aren't mad?"

"Never. I just wish you would have talked to me."

"Well, what are you doing now?"

"Just relax." Lizzies fingers danced across Jos back massaging her. Jo's moans slowly became purrs before she was silent. Lizzie looked down to see her fast asleep. She leaned down kissing Jos back before pulling Jo on top of her.

The next morning Lizzie woke up to bright blue eyes looking back at her. "Thank you for not pushing. For letting me seduce you, well try anyways. Thank you fr taking care of me last night."

"Always."

"I liked the back rub."

"I'm glad." Lizzie smiled gently

"Next nightmare can you do that?"

"You don't want sex after?" Lizzie joked

"Not every time. I just want to feel you and that was I don't know I just felt safe. Not that I don't feel safe after sex-"

"-it's just different." Lizzie finished as Jo nodded "I will do whatever you want me to do. I love you."

"I live you more."

"I love you most."

"Never."

"Never."
