"Yes, of course, that's why I wanted you to meet her first," Alice explained.

Shelby smiled even more. "I can already tell that you love her, and I haven't even met her." She said softly.

Alice giggled softly at Shelby's words, her cheeks blushing a little. "I don't think I've ever felt that before."

"I know how it feels," Audrey said softly, placing a soft kiss on her fiancé's shoulder.

Shelby smiled before turning her head to kiss Audrey's lips softly. "I know what you mean too."

Audrey giggled as she hugged the woman on her lap tightly.

"Okay... you two are cute indeed." Alice sighed playfully.

Shelby couldn't help but smile even more. "Thanks," she said shyly.

"Thank you," Audrey answered shyly. "I bet you are just like that with Anne."

"A little bit..." Alice confessed shyly.

"Awe," Shelby said softly. "Tomorrow Audrey is going to tease you so much, and I'll probably laugh... I'm sorry."

Audrey laughed along with her sister, nodding as she did so.

"You are nice, I don't mind," Alice said softly.

Shelby smiled even more. "I'm glad you like me." She said softly as she looked down shyly.

Audrey melted at the women's conversation, caressing her lover's waist and squeezing her softly. "Me too."

"I haven't seen you that happy in ages, Audrey." Alice commented.

Shelby smiled even more. "My brother said the same about me."

"I was so glad," Audrey smiled brightly.

"I am, too... it was Hell, almost losing this one," Alice said tenderly.

"I can't even imagine," Shelby said softly as she gently caressed her lover's cheek, looking at her.

Audrey smiled shyly at her lover, her sight falling down.

"It was so scary, Audrey... I don't think I've ever told you that, but when mom called me I didn't think I'd make it... be able to keep living without you." Alice's eyes got a little teary. "I prayed so much, and you know I'm not religious."

Shelby felt a pang in her heart over this. She felt herself tearing up as well. "I would feel the same way..."

Audrey smiled sadly to her sister and then to her lover, feeling her chest tightening. "I'm so much better now... I'd never try something like that again..." the actress said softly.

"I'm just so glad... I love you so much, you twat." Alice chuckled softly, wiping her tears away.

Shelby smiled softly as she nodded. "I'm glad, babydoll."

Audrey smiled to her lover, caressing her waist softly. "I love you too, Alice." She smiled.

"I know." The woman chuckled.

Shelby smiled a little harder. "You guys are great sisters. I always wanted a sister."

"Aw, babe... but your brother is cool, too." The actress said softly.

"Yes, but I always wanted a sister too," Shelby said with a small pout.

Audrey smiled tenderly at her lover, playfully pouting as she did so.
