Expect the Unexpected

The Truth Hurts

It was early, but Alex couldn't help but stare in awe at the woman laying next to her. She was naked, curled up at her side, hair was messy, and her makeup from last night still glowed on her eyelids. Maggie was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and the thought of being with her for her whole life warmed her heart.

Maggie's nose twitched, and her eyes slowly opened up. She looked up to see Alex's hazel eyes beaming down at her.

Alex flashed a smile at her before she leaned down to kiss her.

"Good morning, babe." Alex said softly. 

Maggie sat up and stretched before she responded. She looked over at Alex, who was also naked, and smiled wide. A good morning it was indeed.

Alex got up out of bed and reached for fresh underwear and a t shirt.

"Would you like some breakfast?" She asked as she watched Maggie lay back down.

"Yes please." Maggie responded as she watched Alex get dressed. She could get used to seeing this every morning.

Alex smiled at her one more time before she walked into the kitchen. She had never smiled so much in her entire life, and she was so thankful she had found Maggie. Shortly after she began cooking, the whole apartment filled with the smell of fresh coffee and bacon. She was so focused on her cooking that she didn't even hear Maggie sneak up behind her.

Maggie had slipped into her boxers and one of Alex's t shirts before she joined her in the kitchen. She came up behind her and snaked her arms around her waist, and she buried her face into Alex's hair.

"Smells delicious, Danvers." She said softly. She moved Alex's hair out of the way and kissed the back of her neck.

Alex sat down her spatula and turned around. She wrapped her arms around Maggie's neck and leaned in to kiss her dimples. She was in awe at how cute they were.

"All for you, Detective Dimples." She smiled.

Maggie giggled after hearing her new nickname.

"That's original. You just think of that on the spot?" Maggie asked playfully.

Alex laughed and set the table for the two of them.

"I've been saving it for the right moment."

Both of them went and sat at the table after Alex was finished setting it. She poured coffee for the both of them, and then they began to enjoy the amazing food Alex had fixed. Halfway through, though, Alex received a call from the DEO; She answered quickly, expecting it to just be a pissed off alien that needed to be dealt with, but what she heard was something she prayed she would never hear in her life.

Maggie noticed Alex's concern start to build, so she reached over and rested her hand on Alex's arm for comfort.

After the phone call ended, Alex fell silent. She sat the phone down next to her, and she desperately choked down the lump that had formed in her throat.

Maggie tilted her head and looked at Alex. She wondered what was said that made Alex freak out this much.

"Are you okay?"  Maggie's voice cut through the silence like a knife.

Alex didn't even know what to say back. She took a deep breath and bit her lip before responding.

"Yeah. Um...something really bad happened, and I need to leave. Now." Alex responded and then left the table.
