Dreams I'll Never See (Intersex gxgxg)

Chapter 32

Everyone on the street had their little specialty to cook up for the street party. We had a big mix of cuisines, and everything from savory dumplings from Hana and Mira, Mexican street corn from Alexa, burgers and hot dogs from my uncles, and my chicken satay, and everyone just chowed down. Elise and Talia had a bunch of patriotic cupcakes, and Alexa had churros for dessert, and it was just a never ending feast. Frida and Bella, once they'd been kind enough to deliver food to everyone doing the cooking, were lighting sparklers, and having a blast.

As the new kids on the block, literally, the girls and I got a lot of people stopping by. Not just from our street, but also from people on neighboring streets who were joining the festivities. It was the most fun I'd had, outside of being in bed with my girls, in years.

I'd been spending a lot of time with all our new neighbors. Talia obviously because she'd done so much work on the house, and Elise because I'd been talking to her about having Bella take classes online in the fall since she was a teacher. Hana had obviously been teaching me some cooking along with Alexa, and then Mira because she'd killed someone. No, don't take that the wrong way! It wasn't like they knew what I'd done in the past, but of everyone here in the neighborhood, she was the only one who had taken a life before. Back when she was escaping Venezuela with Hana, she'd used a machete on a man, and I felt a little bit a kindship with her, not that I spoke of it. When I read the book that she and Hana had written, I was more impressed with the mild mannered women than I had been with anyone in a while. Not for the killing, but for everything else they'd been through together. Their bond seemed unshakable, having trusted each other with their lives through that time.

Honestly, all four of them were amazing people. The fact that they were all hot lesbians made it even more fun to live on our street. But the person I felt best for was Bella. I think that of all of us, Mira was the only one of us who had the support of her family when she came out. Bella now had 7 lesbians and a pair of gay men to look to as good role models in solid relationships. That was something that any of us would have been thrilled to have as a kid. I really hoped it would help her in the future when it came to finding someone and building a stable relationship of her own. Everyone made it clear that she could go to them if she ever needed to talk.

"We hit the jackpot here," Willow said as Bella raced up and down the darkened street with Frida. "I didn't know neighborhoods like this existed."

I shook my head softly. "I don't think they do in most places. But there is no way I'm going to ever want to move. I hope none of the others do either. This is too special."

"I guess that a job or something might make them leave, but I hope not. Hana and Mira travel a lot, but Elise and Talia have local jobs like us," Lexie pointed out.

"We'll enjoy them as long as we can. Long enough to watch all our kids grow old together," Willow said while pulling the three of us into a hug. That was one other things about the other women on the street. None of them seemed freaked out about our relationship at all, almost as if they had been exposed to another poly relationship, and accepted it. Had they? Either way, I was okay with that!

"Well, as soon as we have kids!" I agreed. "Theirs are all still young, so they'll be within a few years of each other."

I saw Willow and Lexie share a look, and then they both pulled out little plastic sticks from their back pockets. "Ours should be here in about 9 months." Lexie whispered.

"Congratulations mommy!" Willow added.

"Holy shit! Is this really happening?" I asked, just as the first of the fireworks burst over the harbor.

"It's early." Willow leaned in, kissing me softly. "But it's real. We wouldn't want to announce it yet, but we have some little peanuts growing."

"I guess we don't have to keep trying to make them then, huh?" I joked.
