Home is where the heart is (Berena)

Chapter Twelve

Serena Smiled watching her partner sip her coffee, while sipping on her own before putting her mug down on her bedside table and took Bernie's hand as she started to play with her partners fingers gently

"You know.... I've missed you...while we was on that break..." she spoke softly but a little awkwardly

The blonde looked up at the brunette with a smile "I know you did, Serena"

"How did you?"

"Because I know you.."

"Course you do...and there was no-one else"

The blonde looked at her partner "I wasn't even going to ask that"

"I'm sorry I just thought"

"But you came back to me, that's all what matters" the blonde replied with a soft smile before softly kissing the brunette's cheek. The brunette smiled slightly still feeling guilty about her breaking up with Bernie when the blonde needed her the most.

"Hey, I still love you Serena, I get that you needed more space from us" the blonde replied placing her mug down on the bedside table which allowed her to stroke her partners check again

"But you needed me-" the brunette spoke before getting cut of in mid sentence by the blonde who silenced her with a passionate kiss, Serena smiled into the kiss before softly breaking it looking softly into the blonde's eyes

"If you wanna go shopping then you better get your ass out of bed"

"And what will happen if I don't?"

"Then you can stay here on your own while I go out shopping" the brunette teased.

"You wouldn't dare to"

"Oh I would" the brunette teased again

"Your bluffing" The blonde spoke before smirking at her partner while traced her fingertips in a circular motion on her partners naked chest

"I'm not babe...mmm that feels nice" Serena replied giving out a little moan feeling Bernie's fingertips against her skin

"You know that you could just stay home and stay in this bed of ours for the rest of the day"

"But you really want me to come so that you don't have to carry the shopping bags" the blonde smirked knowing it was the truth

"No I don't I just want to spend time with my baby... if that's alright with you?" Serena replied lying a little as she wanted Bernie to go with her,

"No you don't, you just wanna test how strong your macho army medic really is"

Serena started to blush hearing her partner recall the words that Serena spoke once to a patient when she didn't realise that Bernie was watching her from the office. The blonde watched her before speaking in a teasing tone
"Your blushing"

"No im not"

Yes you are"

"Okay fine, I want my Macho army medic to help with the bags"

Bernie smiled a goofy grin and giggled "I Knew it, it was written all over your face"

The brunette shook her head with a smile before throwing a cushion at her "Shush you,"

Bernie smirked catching the pillow "Oi you, That's it i'm not going with you now"

"well thats fine with me" the brunette smirked getting out of bed and walked over to her wardrobe getting out an outfit ready for the day before showing it to Bernie just to wind her up

"That looks nice but im still not going to get up"

"Oh you will in time" Serena smirked as she got changed into the outfit and headed o as shem was looking for Bernie's car okeys as she knew it was the only way to get her up, once Serena found her partners keys she placed Mm
them into her bag and made sure she had the shopping list.

Bernie sighed as she laid alone in the double bed thinking for a few moments before deciding that she would go shopping with her partner and that some fresh air would do her good after spending most of the night drinking away the pain of breaking up with Alex.a

The blonde slowly got up and got out of bed and headed downstairs to tell Serena that she had changed her mind , she got to the top of the stairs and thought that she would surprise her, e went and found her suitcase and got out a tshirt and a pair of jeans with some clean underwear, she soon headed into the bathroom.

Bernie got underdressed and got into the shower as she needed to wash her hair. After she washed her body and hair she stepped out and dried herself off putting on the clean underwear and then her jeans And tshirt. The blonde walked back into the bedroom and brushed her hair sticking it up in a small ponytail.

The blonde also put a hoodie before walking down stairs putting her boots on and left the house walking towards Serena's car and leant on the hood of the car while she waited for Serena.

Serena was in the kitchen looking over the shopping list over again making sure she hasn't missed anything out before grabbing her set of car keys and her bag and walked out the house and locked the front door.

"You took your time"

The brunette stopped in her tracks and sound around after hearing the familiar husky voice giving her a smile "you said You wasn't coming"

"Well I changed my mind"

"Really?"

"Yes really , now unlock the car before I change it back again"

"Okay darling I'm unlocking it now" the brunette smiled unlocking the car and watched her partner get into true passenger side before she got in the driver's seat and looked at her

"I'm guessing there was no need in me bringing these with me?" She smirked holding up Bernie's set of keys to her car.

The blonde looked at the keys "you thought taking my keys would bribe me into coming with you? Well I don't think it would of worked, anyway I thought I could do with some fresh air.. mind you my head still hurts"

"It would do after the amount you drank last night babe, just take it easy when we're walking around the shops"

The blonde nodded rubbing her head a little "I don't wanna be out all afternoon, I've got plans for another nap"

"We won't Princess I promise, there's a bottle of water in my bag Incase you need it"

"Thank you"

The brunette put her seatbelt on and started the engine before driving out of driveway and drove towards the town, as Serena drove Bernie had put her hand Serena's leg as it was one of Bernie's comfort habits. Serena looked over her for a few seconds and smiled softly at her before looking back at the road.

"You know you didn't have to come, I would of been fine on my own" the brunette spoke breaking the silence a little

"I know babe but I just thought some air would do me good and like you said you wanted to spend time with me"

"I could of waited till I was back from shopping "

"Shush now I'm here with you"

The brunette smiled again and drove around town looking for somewhere to park , before finding a car park and parked the car. Serena got out and went to the ticket machine. Bernie watched from the passenger seat and thought about what was going to happen while the two of them was in town.
