This Is Our Family

Part 15

"Do we really have to do this?" KJ questioned annoyed.

Carina sighed as she knew Karter was dreading having to have "the talk" with her moms.

"Sí, bambina. It is important that we talk about this."

"I don't understand why we have to talk about it when we learn about it in school," KJ complained.

Maya let out a sarcastic chuckle, "Forgive us for not trusting the public school system."

Carina gave Maya the side eye, and Maya knew she better cool it with the sarcasm.

There were a million reasons they needed to have this conversation with their daughter, one of them being Maya and Carina did not trust the public school system to teach their children anything positive about sex education. However, that was not the only reason, and Carina did not want her wife to go off on a tangent about the state of public schools in America.

"KJ, we just want to make sure you are safe and are being safe," Maya began the conversation. "It's important that you understand that becoming....ummmm....physical with someone is serious and a big deal."

KJ squinted her face and groaned uncomfortably.

Carina chimed in, "Bambina, it is important that you are giving consent every time something is happening or something new is going to happen."

"I know Mama...you've told me this before," KJ groaned.

Maya sighed and leaned over and whispered in KJ's ear, "The sooner you just listen, the sooner we can be done with this...and trust me, I want to be done having this conversation just as much as you do."

"Mio Dio, Maya! Questo è importante! (This is important!) What is it with you Americans and talking about sex!" Carina shouted as she scolded Maya.

Maya threw her hands up in surrender.

"Sorry, my love. Please continue," she said as she nudged KJ's side playfully. KJ giggled softly hoping her Mama didn't hear her.

"Bambina, I just want you to be safe. I am NOT trying to become a nonna yet...." Carina said seriously.

KJ rolled her eyes. "Davvero, Mama? (Really, Mama?)"

"Sono serio, bambina. (I'm serious, baby.) Using protection is extremely important. There is no excuse for not using protection when you are this young. We can start you on birth control as well if things are getting serious between you and Jordan," Carina had begun to ramble.

KJ let out a groan as her Mama continued to lecture.

"Mama, fermati, per favore. (Mama, stop, please.) We haven't even.....you know....done anything yet," KJ replied to her Mama in a flustered tone.

Carina knew her daughter was beginning to get frustrated with the conversation and she didn't want to push too hard and risk KJ not feeling comfortable coming to her about the topic.

"Va bene, bambina. But promise me that you will be safe and if something ever feels wrong you will come to Mom or me?" Carina patiently questioned her daughter.

KJ looked at Carina, "Si, Mama. I promise. Can I get ready for bed now?"

Maya rustled her daughter's hair. "Yeah kid. Get ready for bed. We love you and we're always here if you need anything at all."

"Buona notte. Ti amo tanto, Karter," Carina said as she leaned over to kiss KJ on top of her head.

KJ leaned into her Mom for hug before both her moms walked out. As Carina and Maya walked out KJ responded, "Anch'io ti amo. Both of you."

Maya sighed a breath of relief as her and Carina walked out of their daughter's room.

"I think you scarred her for life," Maya giggled and she grabbed Carina from behind.

"No thanks to you!" Carina responded as she pointed her finger at her wife.

The wives made their way to their bedroom to check on Kai and get ready for bed.
