Off The Field

twenty-eight

'What you cooking?' Courtney asks softly, her arms wrapping around the blonde's from behind.

'You're supposed to still be in bed.' Leah says glancing over her shoulder at the brunette who smiles. Sliding her frying pan off the heat, Leah turns around to face the brunette and walks them backwards until Courtney hops up onto the kitchen island, the blonde slotting in between her legs as her hands move to brush hair out of her face.

'Happy birthday, my love.' Leah says softly.

'Thank you, bubs.' Courtney replies smiling as her hand settles on the blonde's neck pulling her forward to press her lips against hers. Courtney can't help but smile into the kiss as she feels the blonde's hands settle on her hips as she slides her forward causing the brunette to wrap her legs around the waist.

'We really didn't properly think this through, did we?' Leah mumbles against her lips.

'What?' Courtney asks leaning back slightly to look at the blonde who raises her eyebrows.

'Oh... I mean we can still have some fun, you can still have some fun.' Courtney says biting her bottom lip causing the blonde to shake her head.

'Nah, it's not the same... It'll be worth it though when the tests all come back positive.' Leah replies smiling as she presses a kiss against the brunette's lips before turning her attention back to the frying pan.

'I still can't believe you can't cook anything else other than pancakes...' Courtney says laughing as she slides further onto the island and leans back on her hands.

'Couldn't have you not having your pancakes for your birthday every year, could I? Plus you make them for me and Bunny every year.' Leah replies softly as she glances over her shoulder at the brunette who quietly nods her head.

'She'd be so proud of you, you know? Everything you've achieved, everything you've created, the way you've raised Bunny... I know I never got the chance to meet her but she would have been proud. She'll be up there with our little bubba keeping them all safe and warm.' Leah says watching the brunette sigh as her eyes become glassy with tears.

'She would've loved you, Le.' Courtney replies quietly as the blonde makes her way back over to her. Wrapping her arms tightly around the brunette, she smiles as Courtney rests her head on Leah's shoulder. Her birthday is a day that she's struggled with ever since her mum passed away and Leah has gone all out every year in an attempt to make it that little bit more easier.
