Teach Me Love

Knowing Love

Stef's POV

Today was amazing and it was going to get even better. We were in a park, next to a little river with Lena, Reen, Rosy and Marcus. We ate and played board games, joked around, chatted and everything and I love this. I never had this growing up, and I'm so glad that my daughter does, that we can make her happy and surrounded by so many people.

Truth be told, I can't get enough of her, and now that I know that I can be a mother, no matter how hard it is, I want even more, and hopefully one day, Lena and I will give Reen a little brother or sister and why not both, for I can get enough of this feeling of love that poor out of me when I'm with my girls. They are both my life, and I still have so much love to give that I can't wait for this family to get even bigger, and I know Lena will be up to that. I know she wants more children, and I'll give them to her. I think we'll adopt because well, we have love to give, and if there a little human out there that needs it, we are more than happy to offer.

With time, my love for Lena all but increased, I'm more in love with her than ever. She has been my rock while adjusting with having Reen back in my life again, and she has been so calm and supportive through all of it that I can't find a way to thank her properly, even though I have some ideas.

"Reen, baby, tell mama that I deserve some desert, please." I say to my little girl who is sitting between my legs eating her cake, and making a mess as it doesn't seem like Lena is going to give me any so I have to come up with a strategy and she can't say no to Reen so...

"What?" she says, looking right into my eyes with a surprised look on her face.

"Oh come on, you're not serious. You're going to give me some of this cake, right? You know I love this one babe." I protest as she doesn't take her eyes off of me.

"No what... what did you... you... you never called me that." she says as I frown my eyebrows a bit confused.

"Call you what?" I ask.

"Mama. You never referred me as her mama. Am I... am I her mama? Really?" she asks so damn surprised.

"Yes, of course you are, wasn't that obvious? Lena... I mean you take care of her, you bath her, you feed her, you tuck her in, of course you're her mama. I thought that... I thought it was logic, babe... she calls you mama for a reason, love." I say, completely confuse because for me that was just natural and Reen call me mommy and when she says mama, I know she wants Lena.

"She... she does??" Lena asks, again more surprise than ever. Where has she been, I wonder.

"Lena, yes she does. When she's with me and she asks for you, she says "mama, mama" and then I bring her to you, I mean... what are you talking about?"

"I... I always thought she was talking about you, I didn't realize that... oh my God, I'm her mama..." she says, like she just had an epiphany or something.

"Well, yes it's been three months babe." I giggle for Lena is the most intelligent woman I know, but I swear sometimes she's blind as she starts crying so Reen stood up to go to her.

"Mama, mama crying." She says with her tiny little voice as she strokes Lena's wet cheeks with her little hands, and Lena just cried even harder, taking Reen into her arms as I rub her back for that woman is something else, but I love her to death.

"Well, I guess now is the right time to tell you that I've been seeing a lawyer to get the adoption papers ready for you to be officially her mama." I blurt out, for I wanted it to be a surprise but since she seems so clueless, I guess I better give her a hand up or she will cry in the lawyer's office and then be angry with me for not telling her.
