Finding Home

Chapter 2

Lena's POV:

I am so excited for Stef to get home tonight.  After she gets back with Mariana, all of the kids have plans, so I am surprising her with a little at home date night. I am cooking her favorite meal and hoping to have a little "fun" tonight. 

I am upstairs getting ready and putting on a little black dress. Nothing too revealing just in case the kids come home, but definitely something that will get her motivated, if you will.

I hear them open the front door and smile as I am putting my makeup on.  I hear them both come upstairs, and then Mariana disappears into her room.

"Love?" I hear Stef call as she enters our bedroom. My smile widens as I step out of the bathroom and she stops in her tracks.

"Oh wow, is this all for me?" she says, smirking and pulling me close.  "You look absolutely breathtaking, my love," she says, pulling me in for a passionate kiss. My heart beats fast as she slips her tongue into my mouth. Her hands are running all over my body and reach down to squeeze my butt. I can't help but chuckle as she pulls me closer and my hands get lost in her hair.

"I may be sick." Mariana says in our doorway.  Stef moves her hands to my back, but keeps her arms wrapped around me, looking at Mariana laughing. "Please wait until I go," she pleads.

I can't help but giggle.  "Sorry honey," I say.

"I'm not," Stef said, giving me that look.

"Ew, well I am leaving, I will be back by 9:30pm, please finish whatever this is by then." She rolls her eyes, leaving the room.

"Bye baby, we love you!" Stef calls after her.

"You too!" Mariana yells, then opens the front door and leaves. 

As soon as Stef hears her leave, she pushes me up against the wall and starts attacking my neck. I can't help but let out a deep moan.

"Honey, I made us dinner." I say trying to get the courage to push her away. She moves over to my earlobe and tugs on it with her teeth, causing my entire body to shiver.

"Baby, please, it's your favorite and it will get ruined."  She stops and looks intensely into my eyes. I know that look, I don't think she can stop.  She wants to have her way with me.

"You have ten minutes." I say looking at her sex crazed expression. She gives me a victorious smirk and quickly takes over my body, giving me such intense pleasure, I feel like I may pass out.

........

"So honey, how was your day?" I ask Stef as we begin eating dinner.

"Well, since I have been home? Absolutely incredible." She says winking at me. I can't help but giggle as I take a sip of my wine. "The rest of it? Also, very good.  Well, you know how much I have loved working with Daisy so that's always great, but I found some interesting information about her life today.  She has been through so much. She used to struggle with drugs and was a foster kid, who pulled herself together to help her former foster sister get out of the system." Stef says.  She talks about her with such pride and I can't help but smile, I think the way she has been caring for Daisy is super sweet.

"Wow, that's awesome. She is so young and to already turn her life around before going down years of addiction, is super powerful. How has she helped her previous foster sister?" I ask curious.

"She has custody of her. She became her foster parent. I didn't ask why she didn't do guardianship or anything, but I think it was the fastest way to get Callie into her home. That's her name. I actually met her today. She was shy and stressed out about being at the station. I mean, I know it can be intimidating being around all those police officers. Especially for a kid in the system. Daisy said she has had a really hard life, so she probably has had some run-ins with the law. I am guessing they were not pleasant considering she was acting like something bad was going to happen any second."  I listen intently to Stef's explanation.

"Daisy seems like such a great kid. It's crazy to think she is a foster parent already, when she is still a kid herself. I think it's awesome she has Callie. For Callie, but if she used her as motivation to stay clean and get a job, Callie saved her too. That's such a beautiful story," Lena says.

"I know," Stef starts, "I am so proud of her. I know I haven't known her for very long, but I feel protective, like she was put in my path for a reason." I just smile at Stef. I love her compassionate side. She is such a big softy and it was one of the many reasons I fell in love with her. She truly is the love of my life.

"Maybe we should have them over for dinner this week, I would like to get to know Daisy a little better. This young girl that has my wife so mushy." I look at Stef and wink.

"Ha. Ha. She does bring out the mom in me a little bit, but she is very independent. I try to treat her like my coworker as well because I don't want her to feel like I baby her. She definitely needs some nurturing and guidance here or there and I am happy to give it to her. I would like you to meet Callie though." Stef all of a sudden looks a little guilty and won't look at me too long.

"Me, why? I mean I would be happy to, but do you think I can help her with something?" The first thing I think of is maybe Stef thought I could help her with school or maybe because of my degree? I mean I don't practice child psychology as my main career, but I use it every day at school.

"Well, I kind of offered to help Daisy with something." She says, looking at me hesitantly.

"Oh, just spit it out Stef." I say knowing this is not a small favor.

"Daisy has to work three night shifts a week and she was worried where to put Callie, so I offered that she could stay here."  I just stare at her.

"Okay."  I simply answer.

"Okay?" Stef says, a little shocked.

"Yes, I would have preferred you talked with me first, but I know Daisy is important to you and you want to support her. You are my wife. What is important to you, is important to me." She looks up at me. Her face is all soft and loving. I love this look.

"Wow," I see her eyes are a little glossy. "You never cease to amaze me. Thank you Lena. I am sorry I didn't talk to you about it first. I just figured overall you would be willing to try it, knowing you may be a little frustrated at first. I know that isn't the best communication tactic, but I just saw Daisy struggling and couldn't help myself. Besides, I think we could support both of them. Callie is finishing up 8th grade, just like the twins. Maybe they will all hit it off. I will try to be better about talking with you before making a bigger decision like this." 

"Thank you. I appreciate that. Well, we always talked about adopting one more child, we can see how it goes with four kids in the house. It will be good practice."

"Well, we could start by practicing to make one?" I just burst out laughing. Stef and I always make jokes about making babies together, which obviously isn't physically possible, but sometimes we say that when one of us wants to have sex.

I stand up and take her hand, "let's go make a baby then." She picks me up and carries me bridal style upstairs. She plops me on the bed and before she can top me, I push her down and get on top.

"My turn baby, just enjoy" I say as I have my way with her.
