Cheryl felt herself slowly waking up the morning after the show, her body was aching all over and she groaned. She put her head face down onto her pillow and reached her arm out to touch Kimberley but she wasn't there.
The Geordie turned her head in the direction of the empty space and opened her eyes slightly. She sat up a bit in bed and turned to face the opposite side where she saw Kimberley standing naked in front of the full length mirror.
Cheryl pulled the bed covers back and got out the bed before silently walking over to her girlfriend. When she reached her, she stood behind her and pressed the front of her body up against the older girls.
Kimberley reached back a little and took hold of both of Cheryl's hands, she lifted them carefully and placed them on her bump. Cheryl rested her chin on Kimberley's shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Cheryl quietly, not wanting to disturb the older woman too much as the only other thing that could be heard was the birds outside. Kimberley didn't reply, she just carried on looking.
"Are you thinking about what will happen when the little one is born?" she asked softly. Kimberley nodded, her face showing nothing.
"I promise you baby, things will be more perfect than ever" the younger girl continued after sensing Kimberley's doubt. The pregnant woman nodded her head again, a little unconvincingly.
"I don't want things to get complicated" Kimberley spoke for the first time that morning.
"How would they?" asked Cheryl, burring her head into Kimberley neck with her eyes closed, breathing in her favourite scent.
"I mean with Justin" she simply said. Cheryl rested her chin back on Kimberley's shoulder and looked into her eyes through the mirror. Cheryl's heart started beating faster.
"I don't get what you mean" she said, her voice faltering slightly. Kimberley noticed this and turned around to face her girlfriend properly.
"Don't think what you're thinking. I know you Cheryl, I can see it in your eyes" the older woman replied. Cheryl blushed slightly when Kimberley said this, thinking she probably really did know how she was thinking, how Kimberley would feel being with the father of the baby.
"I just mean with the baby not knowing what's going on, how long he will stay with Justin for at a time, I wont be able to let him take him so soon, what would we say when he asks questions when he's older, what if it causes problem betwe..." Kimberley was stopped by Cheryl, she wrapped her arms tightly around her and held her close and she began to cry.
"Sssh baby, sssh, I'm here" she said to try and calm her down. "I'm not going anywhere" she reassured her.
"I'm sorry" said Kimberley as she continued to sob onto her shoulder.
"Don't be babe, it's just your hormones" replied Cheryl, stroking her hand up and down Kimberley's bare back. She took a look at the two of them in the mirror, a smile made its way onto her face at how perfectly they fitted together, even with a nearly eight month bump between them.
"You're right" sighed Kimberley, trying to get her breath to return normal, still hiccuping now and again.
"Do you want me to run us a shower?" Cheryl asked while running her thumb underneath Kimberley's eyes to wipe the tears away. Kimberley nodded so Cheryl took hold of one of her hands and lead her into the bathroom.
The younger girl kept hold of her hand as she turned the shower on and waited for the water to warm up. The concern on Cheryl's face brought more tears to Kimberley's eyes.
"Oh babe" said Cheryl, once again taking Kimberley into a gentle embrace. She pulled back once she felt Kimberley stop shaking in her arms. She stroked Kimberley's hair out of her face which was stuck there by her tears.
She leant forwards slowly and placed her lips on the older girls, parting them slightly, she let her tongue meet its partners softly and lovingly.
"I'm such a mess today" stated Kimberley as they pulled back and rested their foreheads on each others, their eyes still closed.
"You're my mess" Cheryl replied with a smile. Kimberley giggled.
"Is the water warm enough?" Kimberley asked, looking at the water sprinkling heavily from the shower head.
Cheryl reluctantly pulled away from her and waved her hand underneath the water.
"Perfect" she replied. She stepped into the shower and held Kimberley's hands to help her in. They had placed a mat on the floor of the shower a few months back so Kimberley wouldn't slip in there.
After Cheryl let go of Kimberley's hands, she put some shampoo in her hands and got Kimberley to turn around. She started to rub it onto her hair, watching it foam wildly between her fingers.
She put conditioner in after and rinsed her hair before getting a soft sponge and squeezing a generous amount of body gel on it. She started with the older womans back, watching the white foam then watching it get washed away.
She washed the rest of her body before washing herself and her own hair while Kimberley watched her girlfriend with a smile. When she was done Cheryl got out the shower first and helped Kimberley to step out of it again.
"You're so good to me" smiled Kimberley, relaxing to the feeling of Cheryl drying her hair.
"I've got to look after mummy" she replied sweetly, brushing Kimberley's hair and loving the smell of her conditioner.
