Being Single

54

June and I were at the restaurant to eat breakfast. I drank more coffee than ate my breakfast.
I explained to June what Jane Smith the therapist said to me. June just held my hand and eventually got me to eat a little more than just drink my two cups of coffee. I called home and told Jane, Yilena and Kennedy what the therapist Jane requested and that I signed for Kathryn to go to the hospital to learn and to teach. The one thing in life that made her happy. Kennedy wasn't sure if she wanted to do what Jane wanted her to do and would think about it. Yilena was pissed and threatened to leave Sacramento and fly to Spain to pull our daughter out of this expensive treatment facility.  Kennedy, Jane, myself and June were finally able to calm her down. Yilena suggested I stay the week there with June to relax. I had the week off already. I spoke to the boys who were at Kiki's and Gloria's for the night. They asked me about their sister. Each was sad but glad at the same time. I couldn't blame them on how they felt. I ended my conversation with them telling I missed them, loved them and to be good for their aunties.
Maura let's go to some of the historical places of the old castles and churches than we can have lunch and go to the wineries. Sounds perfect thanks June. No problem June Lamas as your tour guide. June you never changed your name back?Nope his name opened more doors for me when I started in the photography business. Everyone got to know me by the last name so I kept it. 8 could go back to my maiden name and JR Studio would than have my initials.  Instead of Jane's but it's been that way,  since I moved here with my girlfriend.  Lorenzo still is angry for the divorce because I got some much from him and still do. He basically just got to keep the pizzeria. I sold the house and used the money for my home here and to expand the business. 
June drove us around and even though I traveled extensively, there were still some places  hadn't seen historically. The Vineyards yes when Nani left Katelyn and I Everlasting Vineyards.and ranch and other properties.

I was enjoying myself and finally relaxed and not thinking of Kathryn being there  hating us for being lesbian and being in  sexual relationship with my best friend and Yilena the daddy of our twins.
We finally went back to her place. Her girlfriend was out of town for the week. We stayed up watching movies, eating popcorn with soda.
Maura it's three o'clock your bedroom is to the right. I put towels and extra bath salt for you, since I recall you like taking long baths.Thanks June good night.
June went to bed and I took a long relaxing bath. I ended up falling asleep and never  made it to my bed. I woke up and the water was cold when I heard a knock on the bathroom door.
Maura brunch is ready.
I notice the bed was never slept in.
Maura you okay? Yeah fell asleep in the jacuzzi tub. Don't worry. we do that alot.  Do you need help getting out? A little.  It's okay. 
I get Maura's robe and help her out.
I have brunch waiting.  Thanks..

I go to the kitchen and see fresh fruit with mimosas with omelets and toast.
Maura I have to go to work. Here is an extra key to the house,alarm codes and a key for the truck.  Thanks.  Enjoy work. I doubt that but thanks.  I won't be back until 8.
Babe your back early.  Yeah.my business meetings got canceled.  I figured to come back.  Maura this is my girlfriend Norma.  I have to run. You two get acquainted. Babe I  will be back at 8. I kiss Norma bye and leave  .
Maura how did your visit go,,,,?.Is Yilena here or out and about running? No. Yilena had to stay back Jane had her their son a month early. They are home now.  My visit was changed by the therapist so Yilena suggested I stay here as planned and relax. If you like, I can be your tour guide.  Let me unpack and take a shower.  Okay.  Have you eaten lunch yet? Yes. I am going to clean up while you get cleaned up.  Okay.
Thirty minutes later Norma was ready.

Let's go to the country to go horse back riding. If you don't have the right clothes  I am sure you can fit in mine or June's clothes and boots.  I have everything but boots. Size 7 yes. Here is June's. Thanks. I haven't gone riding in a long time. Good. We can take my car.

Very nice. Thank you.. Maura I know alot about you and I  doubt you don't know much about me. June is private person when it comes to us. I knew of your name and you live together. I am a surgeon but work on preferably people who are alive.  I was in Germany to meet with surgeons about some new laser technology but unfortunately the two of them got called away due to family emergency. What type of doctor are you? Cardiologist. 
Norma and I  talk about medical journals.  She told me she recently used one of Kathryn's techniques to cut down on time and it worked wonderful for all involved.Her patient recovered in half the time it normally would.
We arrived at where her horses were kept.
They were gorgeous. Norma and rode for a few hours and returned.

Your horses are gorgeous and well kept up.  Thank you. You ride quite well. I feel awful . I don't get to ride my horse as much so the stable hand is enjoying him more. What a shame  With my hours and the twins I am kept busy.  June and I ride once a week. Your riding her horse. She is a  beauty.  Let's get them cooled down and cleaned up.
I always enjoyed this part with my horse. It was more of a bonding time.
We finished and heard back to the city for a nice glass of wine, crackers and cheese. I got to enjoy spending the day with June's girlfriend and getting to know her. We are headed back to their place when I  receive a disturbing call from Jane Smith  .
She informed me that Kathryn tried to harm another student because she was angry. .

I called Yilena immediately. We discussed it along with June. Norma,  Kennedy and my mother.  We agreed that Kathryn needed to return back home and we would get therapy with Kim.
June and Norma thank you for keeping me preoccupied and taking me to get Kathryn   Kathryn my name is Dr. Norma ladd. I used one of your techniques for a heart patient. His recovery rate was half the time. I am glad it helped you. You and June are a couple?Yes. May I ask a question? Yes.  How can two females love one another when it should be a man and a woman?
We both were married to men but the marriages weren't healthy ones. June moved here and I met her and fell in love with her. I fought it for along time as she did but our feelings for each other was stronger. We communicated alot and when we don't agree on something we discuss it thoroughly the positives and negatives. We compromise.  Any relationship you have requires compromising, healthy conversations. Patience and love.  May I  ask you a question? Yes you may,? Why did you try to hurt the other student?I wanted to go home and be a family again. I don't like my mama and daddy being lesbians with each other and my aunt Jane who really isn't my aunt but my brothers mother. I need to work on my feelings because just because I don't agree with their life style I know they love each other,my siblings and me. Thank you for  being honest with me and not like Jane my therapist who covered up her marriage with me. She is married to a woman with twins. When I  asked her  she said her private life didn't have go deal with me. She was right.I just saved to know how it worked and I  never gave my parents nor any of my other family members a chance nor asked them anything.  I just made my own mind it was wrong.
I listened to my daughter and knew we would be okay as a family.  We just needed to communicate more with her when she sees we have disagreements.
We said our good byes. I whispered in Norma's ear thanking her for her honesty. 
Kathryn you and your family will be okay . Just be honest and communicate. Don't keep it all bottled up. Thank you Dr. Ladd. Your welcome Dr. Salas.  Thank you for recognizing me as a doctor even though I am still not but soon will be.
We boarded the private plane that Jackie and Richard provided us.
Kathryn and I had a long talk about her feelings.  She eventually fell asleep and I text Yilena about her conversation with Dr. Ladd and us.
