We went home last night and Barb initiated a great time. Ha, that thought just sounded funny. My only thought after we made love, after the fact that it was amazing, was that I was going to have to tell my mothers about the engagement. They may have helped me plan the date but they had no idea about the ring.
     This morning I rolled over and smiled at Barb's figure. God I love her so much. I could talk about her all day. I run a hand lightly down her side, smiling and kissing her shoulder. Who would have thought fourteen years ago that I would be here.
Fourteen years ago I was living in a warehouse killing grown men to stay alive, now I'm here with my perfect girlfri.., I mean, fiancé. I have two wonderful, loving mothers, an ass of an almost father in law, my biological father is a world renowned serial killer, and I am friends with some of the biggest superheroes. My life is straight out of a fangirl's fantasy.
Barb stirs slightly in her sleep. I kiss her shoulder again and rest my head there. I wrap an arm around her and begin to drift back off. I wake up close to two hours later and smell cookies in the air. I wrap the blanket around me and walk into the kitchen. Barb is smiling and cleaning a pan. "Hey Baby. I got hungry but didn't feel like a real breakfast." She smiles.
"Damn, You make me love you more everyday." I smile and kiss her before taking a bite of the cookie. "You're a great baker." I take another bite.
"Do you think we should tell your parents today?" Barb says as she dries the pan and puts it away.
I think for a moment. My parents are going to freak the hell out when they find out about the engagement. Mom is probably gonna cry or maybe Ma, or both of them will uncontrollably cry and I won't be able to control the situation. It was all very stressful. I can't even begin to think about telling Jim. I hate the guy, but he is Barb's father and deserves to know. Even if I know his reaction already. 'I always hated that girl. Ruining my daughter, turning her gay and putting her in danger. I hate that dyke.' I'm sure he would throw in more swears and slurs but I am cutting back.
Barb always told me her father was a loving and kind man who loved her unconditionally but I always look at him and see hatred and bigotry. Nothing he does screams doting father. I never say any of this to Barb, she knows my distaste but none of my complete hatred for the man.
"Only if you go with me and you can help me control emotions." I say and sit on the couch curled up in my blanket. "What time is it anyway?"
"About 11. But I think we should head over there soon."
"But Baaaaaaaabe." I groan. "I'm so comfy and it's cold outside my blanket igloo."
She chuckles and then comes over and snatched the blanket. She laughs hysterically as she runs into bedroom with it. I run after her, my naked body gaining goosebumps. I jump onto her and tackle her to the bed. She smiles up at me. "We can't keep doing this." She says looking up and down my nude frame.
I bite my lip and rest my body on hers. "But why not?" I try to act innocent. "Is it distracting?" I kiss down her neck and she moans.
She pushes me off and gives me a peck on the lips. "Not right now baby." She smiles. "We have to go to your moms' house."
"Fine." I sit up and walk toward the dresser. "But I'll get you later." I giggle under my breath.
After about an hour or so of procrastinating, we finally got out the door and were on our way to my parents' house. We walked, hand in hand, only getting the occasional glare from an older person. We arrived at my mothers' and I knocked on the door.
"Hey Vinny." Mom smiles as she opens the door. "We weren't expecting you. What's up?"
"Is Ma around?" I ask with a smile.
"Harl!" Mom calls. "Vin's here."
Ma comes running out and gives me a hug. "Hi. Why are you here?"
"Well Barb and I have an announcement to make." I pause and figit with my hands. "Barb and I are engaged." I say it quickly and almost hope they don't hear.
I feel two sets of arms around me that begin squeezing very tight. "Why didn't you tell me!!" Mom says as she hugs me tightly.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." I say as my voice is small from my oxygen being cut off.
"Sorry." She says as she let's go. "Was that what the date you had last night was?"
      "Yeah but I just didn't want anything to go wrong, not that I think you would have done anything or messed it up or anything.." I blab on until Barb puts her hand on my back and I trail off.
     "It's alright baby girl. I get it." Mom smiles and hugs me again.
