A Look Into The Life Of Wayhaught

There's A New Sheriff In Town

   It was quite chilly outside as Waverly Earp helped Wynonna Earp, her older sister, bring in wood for the fire inside. Mama Earp was already in the warm homestead putting up decorations for the holidays. She refused to put Waverly's Menstrangel on top of the tree, which disappointed Waverly a tiny bit, seeing as it was a tradition that her and Wynonna kept each year, but Mama was fresh out of prison, so she let it go.

   "I didn't know those were tampons when I made it," she had said with a shrug when Wynonna told her that Mama was putting the normal angel on top of the tree. Wynonna just shrugged and took a swig of what was supposed to be hot chocolate, but Waverly knew better. It was definitely whiskey.

   Outside, they finally gathered enough wood to take inside, and they made their way to the front door.

   "Where is Doc, I thought he said he could bring the wood in?" Waverly asked, her nose and cheeks rosy from the cold.

   "He said something about getting a tree for us to decorate," Wynonna replied, slightly huffing under the weight of the wood in her arms. Waverly stopped by the door.

   "But Mama already has one up and decorated. Even if it is missing my Menstrangel," she added, opening the front door with her free hand.

   "I know. I told him. He seems to think it's a man's job to provide the Christmas tree or some bullshit like that" Wynonna said squeezing through the door. They set the wood by the fireplace and warmed their hands. Smells from the kitchen started wafting in as Mama Earp started baking a few things early for dinner the next night and the girls smiled to each other.

   "When was the last time we had a real pie instead of the frozen ones we usually buy?" Waverly asked.

   "Hey, don't knock on those frozen pies, they are a quality dessert, especially when washed down with whiskey," Wynonna smirked.

   "Not even whiskey can help those pies," Waverly said wrinkling her nose. Mama Earp then called Wynonna into the kitchen.

   "Oh shitstrumets, here we go," she groaned getting up, taking her mug with her.

   "Don't burn anything," Waverly called after her. After laughing at the middle finger Wynonna gave her, she sighed, content and warm, watching the fire, until the doorbell rang. She smiled, knowing exactly who it was. She got up and jogged lightly to the door, opening it and yelping in surprise as soft lips crashed against hers. She melted into Nicole Haught, as Nicole's arms slid around her waist and pulled tight. They pulled apart and smiled brightly at each other as Wynonna yelled from the kitchen:

   "Close the damn door before my titties freeze!"   Nicole laughed and moved inside, Waverly still in her arms, and closed the door behind her.

   "You know, you don't have to ring the bell, this is your house just as much as it is mine," Waverly said, reaching up to tangle her fingers in the taller girls red hair.

   "I know," Nicole said as she bent down to kiss her tiny girlfriend again. "I guess it's just a habit. Besides, my mind is a little preoccupied with some news I have to tell you," she said, big brown eyes shining.

   "Oh really officer Haught? And what would that be?" Waverly asked.

   "I'm not an officer anymore."

   "Wait, what?"

   "Your looking at the new sheriff in town," Nicole beamed proudly, tightening her grip on the smaller girl.

   "Your what?!" Waverly asked. "Seriously? That's amazing babe!" She jumped into Nicole's arms, both of them laughing.

   "What is going on in here?" Mama Earp asked as her and Wynonna walked in.

   "We might not want to know Mama," Wynonna said in an undertone.

   "Nicole is the new sheriff!" Waverly exclaimed excitedly, sliding out of Nicole's arms.

   "Congrats Haughtstuff! It's about time Nedley retired, he's old as fuck," Wynonna said, reaching out to give Nicole a supportive slap on the bicep.

   "Congratulations Nicole, you will make a wonderful sheriff," Mama Earp said with a smirk. "If there is such a thing," she added, and her and Wynonna raised their glasses in agreement.

   "She is going to be the best sheriff Purgatory has ever had," Waverly said with full confidence, looking up proudly at her girlfriend.
