Lost in the Memory

It's Nice to Have A Friend

"'Light pink sky up on the roof
Sun sinks down, no curfew
Twenty questions, we tell the truth
You've been stressed out lately? Yeah, me too
Something gave you the nerve
To touch my hand
It's nice to have a friend
(Ooh)
It's nice to have a friend
(Ooh)"

Breakfast was extremely quiet the next morning. Wynonna picked at her food absentmindedly and Wayhaught shared a concerned look.

"So..." Waverly said, clearing her throat.

"So...pff, we got a big day ahead of us..." Wynonna said, eating a piece of bacon.

"Wynonna...you're pregnant!" Waverly said, biting her lip.

"Ugh, do you have to use that word." Wynonna replied, cringing.

"The giant plus sign says yes!" Waverly, pushed. Wynonna cringed again.

"And besides, we should talk about how this is going to work going further." Nicole added, with  a sad smile.

"Well, I'm really not ready to get into all the juicy details..." Wynonna said, fiddling with a piece of bacon.

"Noted...but Wynonna, you're going to have to deal with this sooner rather than later. You might as well start now, by talking to Doc. He's a big part of all this" Waverly said, giving her a look and motioning to her stomach.

"Well, tough shit. It's my decision when or how I tell people so stop pushing me! And while you're at it, stop judging me. I'm going to meet up with Dolls and discuss this afternoon." Wynonna said, walking out of the homestead in frustration.

Waverly sighed and cleaned up from breakfast quietly. Nicole watched as her girlfriend's stress cleaned the kitchen.

After a few minutes, Nicole stood up and grabbed Waverly's hand gently, taking the rag out her hand.

"Baby...it's going to be okay. Come, let's sit on the couch for a bit." Nicole said softly, as she pulled Waverly over to the couch and sat down. Waverly curled up against Nicole and sighed.

"I was only trying to help..." Waverly said, sighing and resting her head on Nicole's shoulder.

"I know baby, she's just stressed. We all are. You meant well, but she also had a point. She'll tell Doc and everyone else when she's ready to. Until then, all we can do is support her and be there for her." Nicole said, placing a gentle kiss on Waverly's cheek.

Waverly cuddled into Nicole and nodded. "You always know the right things to say to calm me down."

Nicole smiled and held Waverly close to her. They sat in happy silence for a while before either of them spoke again.

"You never did tell me what happened with Champ?" Nicole asked with a slight smirk. Waverly rolled her eyes.

"I finally had enough of his fudgin attitude and him sleeping around with god knows who. And I realized that the one person I've been looking for was right in front of me the entire time. I almost got in my jeep and drove to the big city to surprise you but I kinda got taken hostage by murderous mob shit tickets before I could do anything." Waverly said smiling up at Nicole.

"And to think that I thought you hated me for leaving you. Yet here we are. Cuddled on the couch months later. I never want to leave again. I'm completely content where we are right now." Nicole said, grinning.

"I'm so glad you came back when you did. I don't know what I'd do without you." Waverly said, giving her a quick kiss.

"Don't worry baby, I'm not going anywhere. Like I said, where you go, I go." Nicole replied, kissing her back.
