Waking up felt like more a dream, a heaven that you know exists and out of reach but knowing the feeling of being there. A sense of comfort and security, no more tears and fear of getting hurt..
That's how Justine feel whenever she's waking up next to her lover. A peaceful and quiet place she's ever been to. The sound of Catherine's heartbeat was echoing in her ears and it makes her feel more sleepy, like a lullaby of a mother at night.
Looking up at Catherine, all her features were soft and comforting to even stare at. Tranquility was all over her system, a serene and assurance that everything is going in the right places, that she is in the right place. Touching her lover's right cheek, feeling the softness and warmth that is coming off of her, she closed her eyes and felt it.
This must be a dream, she thought.
But it wasn't, she's there right beside to her lover sharing the same bed and heat that is making them alive. Looking at Catherine, she can feel all the love that is overflowing within her, she's glad that she cameback and claimed what's hers.
"My love.." She heard Catherine's soft and alluring voice like a velvet that is so sweet and comforting. She opened her eyes meeting those brown orbs that never failed to leave a remarkable feeling everytime. "Hmm.." She humed in response.
"Good morning.." Catherine gave her a warm smile that was paired by kissing her in the lips, she closed her eyes and felt it again those soft and sweet lips will always leave her craving for more. "Good morning, sunshine." She smiled still her eyes half closed, still savoring the kiss.
"Hiro is going to come anytime soon." Catherine chuckled tucking a lose strand of Justine's hair behind her ear. "Yeah, we better get off or else—"
"Mama! Mommy!" Not beaing able to finish her sentence, Hiro came bursting through their bedroom door holding his blue dinosaur in his right hand. "You two should get up, we are making a breakfast I am already hungry." Hiro pouted, climbing in the bed and laying between his parents.
"Good morning and yes, darling. Mama and I were about to get up, you should've waited for us in the kitchen." Catherine smiled at him ruffling his already messy hair. "Alright, are we going to make animal pancakes today?"
"Yes, baby. Wait for us in the kitchen." Hugging his son and peckinh him in the lip, Justine did the same and they both watched Hiro walk out the door to wait his parents in the kitchen.
"Hiro is growing up so fast, I'm glad I made it here." Justine looked at her lover's eyes that was obviously full of love and adoration towards her.
"Even if you didn't make it here at his young age, we would still wait for you.." Lifting her right hand to touch her cheeks, Catherine slowly leaned in and kissed her.
The soft, passionate, and full of love kiss. Justine could feel and tell that she wanted to spend the rest of her lifetime with the woman in front of her, all she wanted to do was to make Hiro and Catherine happy as long as she lives.
She never dreamed of having a family, it never came across in her mind, but it changed when she started loving her Mathematics teacher. Looking back, it was a really tough ride but knowing that Catherine was waiting for her at the end of it was all worth it.
They are now living together for almost three years here in New York, sometimes Cath and Hiro are visiting her in her office to eat their lunch together, all of the things that she has right now was all in the right places, she does think that she deserves all of it because she's been through a lot.
"I love you.." She whispered between their kiss, warmth was flooding all over her and it makes her want to sleep again.
"I love you more, mi amoré." Kissing her once again, Hiro opened the door again, but they did not hesistate look at him instead, they continued kissing while smiling because Hiro is probably closing his eyes now.
"Mom! Stop the sweetness, let us make breakfast!" They heard their son and looked at each other while laughing, their eyes were glimmering with so much joy and love.
"Coming, baby!" Catherine shouted, getting up from their bed.
"Come on, love. Hiro is waiting." Lending her hand towards Justine, she gladly accepted it and made their way downstairs.
And then there's Hiro, sitting in one of the stool in their island counter, patiently waiting for them to come.
"Let us make some pancakes, shall we?" Catherine looked at Justine, smirking.
"We shall." Kissing her in the lips again before proceeding to make the animal pancake that Hiro loves so much.
She looked at her small family, taking in every scene and capturing every moment whenever she has the chance. She thought to herself that she wanted and needed this. This completes her, Catherine and Hiro.
And she's not wishing for anything, but happiness in her family that won't fade through the years.
She knows that deep down, this is it. This is what she dreamed of that never crossed her mind until she met Catherine.
And she promises to herself that she will do everything in her possession to make these two humans in front of her happy as long as she lives.
