Just cuz I love them <333

   It was thanksgiving morning, I was hosting a small family dinner at my place. Regina's mom, my parents. So I knew when my alarm went off I couldn't just shut it off and go back to sleep. I groaned dramatically and stretched over and cut it off. Then I sat up, and...Regina? Where was she?

   Then I hear faint music playing as my brain wakes to process. I slide my legs down the side of my bed and I sit there a moment. Just staring at the ground and blinking. I sigh and hop down and walk out. There she was.

   Cleaning the kitchen up some, her messy bun, a speaker playing music, in a pink shirt and gray thong. Just wiping down the counter and was she. She's cooking? Regina can cook? I'd never seen this before.

   I approach her and tuck my hands into the sides of her thong, from behind. I kiss her shoulder and she says. "Hey sleepyhead." I then bit her shoulder, "ouch, what's that for?" I kissed it again and then replied, "love bite." She laughs and says, "not sure about that but thank you."

   Then she turns her attention to the vegan Mac and cheese. "You cook?" I say and she looks at the boiling noodles, "I do!" Honestly I was still shocked.

Time went by and we had a decent amount of food and then there was a knock at the door. I opened it and there was Regina's mom. She hugged me tight, "gosh I missed you girls so much." Regina quickly runs to our bedroom to put pants on.

"I miss you Ms. George, how have you been?" I ask politely, "good, just missing my girls." She says and I smiled and rubbed her shoulder. I took her jacket and she smiled and sat at the island in the kitchen. Then Regina came out, "ma." She says wrapping her arms around her. Her mom hugged her tight like she'd never seen her. Maybe it sans that Regina was treating her better. And that Regina initiated the hug.

"I missed you my princess." Her mom says and she smiled, "how's college?" Her mom asked us both. Regina sat down next to her mom and said, "it's been good, classes are easy, the only bad part is the people. Everyone is so dumbfoundedly stupid." Regina says and her smiled like that was the girl she wanted to hear from.

"Schools great, I get the concepts and I've made a few friends." I say and her mom nods, "oh that's good, you'll have people to be in your wedding." She said nudging Regina. Regina laughs and says "mom we'd only been dating about a year." She shrugs and rolls her eyes, "still" she says stern.

   Then we're graced with the knock of my parents, god they're delightful. I open the door oddly they greet me with a tight hug. I guess sometimes they can prove they love me. Most of the time I don't believe it.

   I walk them over to the kitchen island, I moved two stools to one side, and three on the other. Our parents sat at the three and we sat at the two.

   I brought food out and plates, then all caught up as we ate, school, work, more, all the adulting shit that's boring. Unfortunately extremely necessary. 

   At one point Regina held my hand and my dad made a face. He was disgusted, if he knew the half of it. Regina's mom then again brought up marriage. "Regina are you still friends with Cady, Gretchen, and Karen? Because you'd need braid maids as well?" My dad rolled his eyes, "Sorta" Regina answered but I know she noticed my dad's expression.

    "Are they engaged?" My mom jokes shoving Regina's mom. "No, I just like bugging them, your daughter is my dream daughter in law, she treats Regina very well." She says and my dad sips his water. I knew he rather be anywhere else. Or maybe just not around Regina.

   "Thank you Ms. George." I say and she grabs my hand and rubs it. Then we all finish eating and my dad hugs me and goes to leave. "Oh bye!" I say after I hug him and my mom follows after hugging me. "Bye Y/N/N, and Regina dear."

   They left and after thirty minutes so did Regina's mom. I sighed and locked the door, then I went to my closet. I picked out some clothes and laid them out in the bed.

   Then I walked to the bathroom and started the shower. Sliding off my pants I notice Regina watching from the doorway. "What?" I say and she walks in and closes the door. "Need a buddy, it gets hard to wash your back." She insists, I laughed and then pulled off my shirt. "Sure babe"

   She stripped and then I turned on the shower. I pulled off my final layers of clothes and I get in. Regina following and she puts her hands on my waist. "Are you ok?" She asked.

   I wasn't expecting this, "yes." I answer and she looks me in the eyes, "really? are you really ok?" I shook my head and got teary eyed. She held me in her arms rubbing her fingers through my hair with the water. "All I've ever wanted was fatherly love and I've never had one to go too. You have one but he doesn't know how to love you." Regina says and I nod and cry harder.

   "That's ok love, not everyone is perfect. I will say, you have my love, and someday we'll make a family of our own. You'll love our children the same way I will. We will be accepting and supportive and so loving, so they'll never have to hurt like you do. I will try my best everyday to make sure you forget about how he treats you." She says to me and this was the most emotional thing she's ever spoken on before.

   I suppose with not having a father around it would make her sympathetic for this. I held onto her and slowly my tears dried, and it was just the water of the shower. She drug her thumbs under my eyes and then placed a firm kiss on my forehead.

   "Baby you're hurt but I'll always be here to heal you. So what if he doesn't want to hold your pieces together. I will walk you down the aisle someday, and I know for sure my mom would be MORE than willing to as well." God she hit all the sore spots with an antibiotic. "Thank you" I say and she nods and then kissed all over my face. My cheeks, my forehead, my lips, she kissed me until I wasn't sad, she made me laugh instead.

   "I love you" I tell her and she hugged me close, "I love you."
