Cold northern winds swept through the garden, bringing with them rain that lasted all night, and dark clouds obscured the moon and stars. But the ceiling of the bedroom glimmered from a small lamp, and shadows played across Yaz's bare back. Alex lazily traced them with her finger over her silky soft skin and dotted her lips down her length, adoring every inch of the other woman. 

Yaz hummed contentedly, ruffling the pillow under her head. She was enjoying the cool feel of the cotton sheets on her bare skin and her wife's gentle hands running down her curves for the past half hour. 

 

"I'm so happy you don't need to work tomorrow" she smiled. 

 

"Me too, it's been exhausting having every working Saturday, but I took a lot of time off this year, I can't complain," she said, kissing the back of her neck and resting her head in the hollow of her lower back. 

 

"Suppose not...We can sort out the house at the weekend?" 

 

"Definitely...and perhaps...maybe...go get a Christmas tree?" She grinned cheeky and traised her finger down her back sending shivers down her spine. 

 

Yaz giggled "We could...definitely could.... And I can take you to that new restaurant I was telling  you about...finally" 

 

"Mmmm...Christmas shopping date night. I like that" she chirped dropping kisses down her spine. 

 

"I'm cold...C'mere charmer." 

 

Alex sat up and pulled the duvet off the floor then snuggled up to her. 

 

"That's better...You're so cold" she remarked running her palm over Alex and pressed a kiss to her forehead. 

 

"I don't feel it.... Mmmm...this is nice" she relaxed on Yaz's chest as the other woman closed her arms around her. 

 

"It does feel like we've been running a marathon recently." 

 

"It does, and now I just wanna relax and have a lazy winter." 

 

"Lazy winter, fine with me. We've got a con in two weeks." 

 

"Do we now?" Alex chuckled "Let's hope Ollie gets better." 

 

"He better, I can't not have my Davros...I can’t wait...It's gonna be so much fun." 

 

"I'm gonna be bobbin along all confused" Alex laughed. 

 

"Lost behind the TARDIS" Yaz burst out laughing. 

 

"More like lost in time and space amongst you lot." 

 

"You silly sod...We need to get you all dressed up" 

 

"Oh, my days...what did I agree to" she laughed into her chest. 

 

"You're gonna be the most adorable Time Lord" she squeezed her and popped a kiss to her hair. 

 

"Right..." she scrunched her face looking up at her "The most confused one, that's for sure." 

 

"Whaaaa? What's the cute face for?" She smiled. 

 

Alex smiled silly bringing her hand to the back of her neck pulling her into a kiss then wiggled settling comfortably back in her arms. She reached for her hand and played with her fingers. Finally, her mind settled from all the stress, and she started to feel herself coming back. As much as she put up a brave front, somewhere in the back of her mind she was still feeling restless until recently. Somewhere deep inside she also felt anger for her father tinting that which she held so precious in her heart. 

 

"We could put the wallpaper up in the nursery" Yaz said breaking her trail of thoughts, and she was grateful for it. 

 

"Uuuu...not sure we know how to do that Yaz." 

 

"How hard can it be to stick the paper on a wall babe?" 

 

"I dunno...suppose we could try...But that pink has to go first." 

 

"Oh definitely...Looks like unicorn farted up that wall.” 

 

Alex burst out laughing "It does. We can put our photos on the wall" she looked up smiling. 

 

"Yes, we can...and where do want them? Any ideas?" 

 

"Maybe up here in the hallway? I don't want those downstairs they're private." 

 

"I agree ...just for you and me. Now we have the wedding as well." 

 

"We do...They're so pretty." 

 

"They're stunning, I want the one of you and me on my desk. The one by your mums’ roses. I love that one." 

 

"We can have it done tomorrow. Maybe find a nice frame when we're out." 

 

"I'd love that." 

 

.....

 

 

They got up early, had breakfast at home, then quickly got ready and went shopping. Yaz was driving. Which was probably a good idea considering Alex was super excited about buying a Christmas tree. 

 

"Right, so wanna hear what we need to get?" Alex opened up her puppy notebook and wiped out a fluffy flamingo pen then put on her reading glasses which will never stop making Yaz laugh. 

 

"There's a list?" She laughed. 

 

"Of course, there's a list Yazee.... I'm too excited and I don't wanna forget anything." 

 

"Alright" she laughed "Shoot." 

 

"Right" she cleared her throat like she is in a school play "Christmas tree....of course" she smiled "lights for the tree, we need some decorations, cause we've got none, It don't need to be expensive, we're gonna add to them with time every year, reef for the door, and I thought we get some lights for those bushes outside...that would look pretty...also some nice candles and I thought we get something pretty for Prems room" 

 

"Alright, that seems a reasonable list...what color?" 

 

"Dunno...we will see when we get there what they have..." 

 

"Cool...oh...oh write down glue for the wallpaper and a scalpel for cutting." 

 

"Right" she nodded adding it in "Roller!!" She jumped "We almost forgot, how the hell are we gonna paint”? 

 

"Fingers" Yaz laughed "How much is this all gonna cost?" 

 

"It shouldn't be a lot sweet pea, it fits in a budget for renovation and it's cheaper than paying someone to do it. That's why we can afford Christmas stuff...So, whiles we're there, do you need anything for your room?" 

 

"No babe I'm fine." 

 

"You sure Yazee? You mentioned something about the pad, something for your computer?" 

 

"Oh...Neah...I need a new glove for drawing babe but we're not gonna find it there.” 

 

"Oh, What do you want for Christmas?" 

 

"You" she grinned. 

 

Alex laughed "You have me...what else." 

 

"You in a big bow" 

 

"Yazeeee" she giggled "I'm being serious." 

 

"So am I" she looked at her cheeky 

 

"You have that look..." 

 

"What look?" She laughed "Oh you mean when I just wanna pull up and do you on a parking." 

 

"OMG" Alex screamed "I'm gonna piss myself.” 

 

"I'm not into that...sorry." 

 

Alex choked up laughing "Fuck off!!!! You silly sod" 

 

 

.... 

 

 

As soon as they passed the gate and entered the store, Alex's eyes grew the size of saucers and Yaz knew at that moment that they were in trouble. 

 

"Oh...oh that's just distracting" Alex said pushing the trolley looking around. 

 

"Let's get the tree first then you can have a melt down" she grabbed her sleeve pulling her towards them. 

 

"OMG....OMFG that's stunning...and it's flocked Yazee" she squeaked pointing. 

 

"That's beautiful...waaaw" 

 

"What?...300....300£ for a Christmas tree!!!" Her soul nearly left her body seeing the price. Suddenly all the excitement was drained out of her, and she just stood there completely deflated. 

 

"Whaaaa? Does it spit out the presents as well for that price?" 

 

"I can't get over the price ...Since when is a Christmas tree 300£?" 

 

"And this one 189£...WTF? Who's shopping here, the prime minister?" 

 

"Maybe if we look around somewhere else...I'm not giving 200£ for a tree Yazee, that’s just maddening" 

 

Yaz sighed and looking around "Does it have to be flocked?" 

 

"Nooo, suppose not" she slumped her shoulders "It's just something I always wanted cause we had a plane one at home. But they are all so expensive Yazee, I’m not throwing money away like that." 

 

"Those ones have lights my dear" the older lady leaned into Yaz's ear "But over there they are without so they are cheaper" 

 

"Ooooh" Alex's eyes widened "Really?" 

 

"We just got one, 90£ for almost the same size and with snow" the lady smiled. 

 

"OMG thank you, we're so stupid...Look Alex, it actually says with lights.... right there" she pointed to the sign above. 

 

"Thaaaaaaank youuuuuuu" Alex smiled "I was about to cry." 

 

"I knoooow, what a rip off...and what do you do when they die" the lady remarked "Well, I'm glad I helped...Have a nice day girls." 

 

"You too" Alex smiled "Thanks for that." 

 

"Thanks, that was really sweet" she exhaled relieved "Huh...come on...let's have a look.” 

 

"I almost choked, oooh.... oooh loook at that Yazee" she left the trolley and ran to the tree. Yaz was half expecting her to start hugging it in the middle of the store. 

 

"It's pretty" she giggled "Ylu don't need to cuddle it" 

 

"I doo...I love it...it perfect, and it's not too big...What ya think?" She asked excitedly, eyes open wide like a kid. 

 

"Hmmm...not sure.... Could be better." 

 

"Oh" she slumped "You think? ....I mean...Yeah like 300£ better...suppose we go some place else" 

 

"Got ya!" She laughed. 

 

"What? ...Oh....you.... aaarhhh..." she squirmed. 

 

"Go on, park that in a trolley...Your face" she couldn't stop laughing as they lifted the box. 

 

"You're such a meany" she pouted "I'll so get you back." 

 

"Oh, yeah" 

 

"Just wait and see" she laughed. 

 

"I'm already shitting myself." 

 

..... 

 

 

An hour later and 300 m of Christmas lights later Alex stood in front of the shelf with decorations overwhelmed and lost. 

 

"Babe, come on...cream or gold?" Yaz held a box in each hand dangling the decorations. 

 

"I don't knoooow" she whined looking utterly desperate. 

 

A part of Yaz found this utter despair over something as trivial as Christmas decorations irresistibly cute. 

 

"I can't make up my mind. What do you want?" 

 

"Food" 

 

"Sooorry...I'm really sorry.... come on pleaseeee help me...which ones do you like?" 

 

"Honest...." 

 

"Yes honest" 

 

"Nether" 

 

"Whaaa?" 

 

"They're tacky and I fucking hate them..." 

 

"They are a bit, I must admit.... But we need to buy something." 

 

"Yeah, but not this...I've got an idea." 

 

"What? I'll take anything right now I can't think. There's too much stuff, my brain can't cope." 

 

She left the boxes on the side and walked over to her grabbing her hands "Hey, listen...focus." 

 

"Ha?" She replied as her eyes aimlessly roamed around the shelves feeling like she was about to cry. 

 

"On me, focus on me babe." 

 

"Oh, sorry...tell me" she turned. 

 

"Listen, we can buy those pinecones we saw back there, like loads of them and there's a section with arts and crafts. They have little bottles. And you looove little bottles." 

 

"I do...but on a Christmas tree? How's that gonna work?" 

 

"Well, We can fill them with glitter and write our wishes on stripes of paper and stuff them inside, like a message in the bottle thing. Then one day, 10 years down the line we can open them and see what came true" 

 

"Noo way, OMG I love that" she jumped squishing her face between her palms and popped a kiss to her lips "I really, really love it. That's just so perfect." 

 

"Good" she laughed "And since when are we snogging in the middle of the store?" 

 

"Since now.... since right now Yazee...I'm so excited about this I can't help it." she hopped like a kid making Yaz laugh 

 

"Alright silly billy...We can get some bows and I saw over there some little birds and squirrels they were only 50p each we can pop them all over the tree." 

 

"See, that's why you're a designer...." she hooked her arm in hers "Honest Yaz, you're way under paid and underappreciated" 

 

"No babe, you're just way too much into me and you'd admire any shit that comes out of my brain...Which is sweet, and I need it...but still" 

 

"Mmmmm....I really hate when you talk about yourself like that." 

 

They loaded the trolley, got a beautiful vintage green ribbon for bows, little snowy owls, and birds. Alex found bunches of small red berries, so they got a few of those too. With her heart in its place and Alice reindeer headband jingling on her head, Alex pushed the trolley toward the till. Then suddenly she stopped so abruptly that Yaz smashed into her. 

 

"What the..." she could see her eyes fixated on something across the store "What?" 

 

"That...look...it's perfect Yazee" 

 

"What is ?" She was trying to figure out what she saw. 

 

"The reef Yazee, for the door!" She said quickly and zoomed across the shop leaving Yaz by the trolley then grabbed it waving it in the air ecstatically "Look...it's perfect." 

 

Yaz shook her head laughing. 

 

.... 

 

"Soo, happy?" Yaz chuckled as they drove to finally get some food. 

 

"OMG am I... I just can't wait to put everything up now. Thanks for having patience Yazee.  I know I’m a nightmare sometimes." 

 

"You're cute...Right, fooooood...I'm starving." 

 

"I must admit I could do with some as well. So, where is my wife taking me?" She grinned intrigued. 

 

"You'll see, It popped up on my Insta, it looks really good." 

 

 

....

 

 

Yaz parked up and reached for her hand as soon as they got out of the car. 

 

"It's just around the corner from here" she pointed. 

 

"We hadn't had a date night for a long time." 

 

"Is that a request?" 

 

"Might be" she smirked. 

 

"Alright Alex Sigma, I'll take you on a date." 

 

"Cheese date?" She laughed. 

 

"OMG" Yaz burst out laughing "Nooooo...I'm honestly never gonna get over that one...I'm taking you somewhere really fancy.” 

 

"Like really posh?" She laughed. 

 

"Yeah...so you can put on that fake accent, and we can get dirty later." 

 

"OMG" she burst out laughing. 

 

"Here we are..." she tugged her hand and pushed the door open. 

 

"Oooh...this is cute." 

 

"Yap..." she smiled "I called, and they said we didn't need the reservation, so let's find a table" 

 

"I'm sorry baby, but I really have to pee” Alex squirmed pointing awkwardly towards the sign 

 

"Go." 

 

"I'll be quick..." she turned around then stopped "Oh, Yazee...window if they have." 

 

"Sure...go" she rolled her eyes giggling then focused on finding a nice table. It was before the actual lunch time, so it wasn't as busy. 

 

The restaurant wasn't big either, rather small and cozy, and Yaz was keen on having a nice hot meal as the smells from the kitchen hit her nose. After looking around for a moment, a young man spoke to her behind her. 

 

"Can I help you ma'am?" 

 

"Oh, hi" she turned "Looking for the table for two please, preferably by the window.” 

 

"I think we can manage it. Are you first time here?" 

 

"Yes, I saw your add and I read some nice reviews so I thought I bring my wife here" 

 

"That's nice...Here we go....one table, window view. Would you like the menu?" 

 

"Yes please" 

 

He left and soon returned with menus. She decided to wait for Alex, and in the meantime enjoyed watching the people passing by on the street. 

 

Alex was standing by the sink. She wiped her hands and took out her toiletry bag. 

 

"Alex!" The woman chirped behind her. 

 

"Janet, OMG what are the chances."

 

"Almost didn't recognize you in your normal clothes" she laughed. 

 

"I knoooow, I can blend in with the crowd avoiding people I don't like" she said then squirmed embarrassed "...Oh...Sorry...that just came out wrong, didn't mean from you, that didn't sound right" 

 

"Chill out I get what you mean...So what are you doing here? Apart from eating obviously?" 

 

"Oh, I did some shopping with my wife and we came to get something to eat. We got a Christmas tree for the new house.  You?" 

 

"Just Saturday with mum. It's our day." 

 

"That's nice. I miss that with my mum...and my family...Hey, wanna meet my Yazee?...If you want obviously" 

 

"Yes of course I do Alex" she laughed 

 

.... 

 

"Yazee" 

 

Yaz jolted from daydreaming "Oh, sorry...I was...never mind." 

 

"Yazee this is Janet, my new mate I was telling you about, Janet my Yazee" 

 

"Oh, hi..." Yaz got up "Nice to meet you" 

 

"Nice to meet you to Yaz, finally" 

 

"Would you like to join us or you're..." 

 

"Oh, no thank you. I'm here with my mum. But thanks, I appreciate it. I just wanted to meet you cause Alex always talks about you." 

 

"She talks about you too. I'm glad she has a new mate. 

 

"Oh, Janet..." Alex blinked "I'm so stupid I completely forgot. At some point, not sure when but we're planning a small housewarming party. I'd love it if you would come..." 

 

"Absolutely...count me in" 

 

"Aaaa...Goodie" 

 

"Alright, I'm gonna leave you girls to enjoy your meal. First time here?" 

 

"Yap" Yaz nodded. 

 

"Best butter chicken ever and garlic naan to die for." 

 

"Cool...thanks" Yaz smiled. 

 

"Well, enjoy yourselves...I'm glad I finally met your wife" she nudged Alex with a wink. 

 

"Me too" she said proudly. 

 

"See ya" 

 

"Se ya" Alex gave a little waive. 

 

"Nice to meet you Janet" Yaz said as she sat down again "She seems nice." 

 

"She is nice, nice to have a mate at work. Oh, hope you don't mind me inviting her, I just said it and I didn't think..." 

 

"Chill out babe...it's a party and not like you ordered a stripper.” 

 

"I think we would have a lot of explaining to do" she laughed. 

 

"Not to your family" she burst out laughing. 

 

"Mmm...you're probably right. My mum went to a strip club for her 60th" she said casually opening the menu. 

 

"Whaaat?" Yaz almost dropped hers on the floor 

 

"Yeah, men strippers though. In Manchester, and you know, all the women in the family and all her friends went...which flattering or not included me as well" 

 

"OMG...what like a family outing?" 

 

"Yeah" she giggled. 

 

"Bloody hell, dirty Alex, what will I hear next, car racing, bike repairing, strip bars...And you seem so innocent.... Just proves, looks can be deceiving." 

 

Alex just laughed like crazy hiding her face going bright red, behind the menu. 

 

"I can't even imagine my mum doing something like that, or anyone from my family.... Or you" she laughed "I'd pay to see that." 

 

"Yeah...it was an interesting experience" she couldn't stop laughing. 

 

"I bet it was...OMG I just can't...Alex watching men strippers...and Charlie...I can't" she choked laughing. 

 

"My mum and my auntie was screaming and whistling like crazy. It was a side of my family I wasn't ready to see." 

 

"I think my mum would put a paper bag over her head." 

 

"That's what I thought about my mum until I saw her in her element. I don't think I'll ever recover from that" she laughed. 

 

 

....

 

 

The afternoon rolled by quickly, it was two by the time they got home. They quickly unloaded everything from the car and changed into work gear. Alex ran downstairs to get paint while Yaz covered the nursery floor. She moved the shelves into the hallway along with some other bits and pieces and unrolled the floor covering, then stood in the empty room whose pink walls made her cringe. In some unexpected way she found herself excited to make it their own and not just indulge Alex in her obsession with the baby as usual. 

 

"Jesus...I think my soul left my body on the fifth step" Alex huffed dumping the paint pot on the floor and rested her arms on it for the moment trying to take a breath. 

 

"Babeee...I told you it's heavy." 

 

"I didn't think it was that heavy" she looked up blowing the strand of hair form her face "Waaw...that looks empty" she said stretching her back "...and very pink" she laughed. 

 

"I can't wait to get rid of it...it's making my brain scream." 

 

"It's gonna look gorgeous when it's done" Alex smiled leaning her head on Yaz's shoulder and closing arms around her. 

 

"You're starting to dangerously rub off on me" she laughed "I was never so excited about badge." 

 

"Hey, I'm excited about your telephone boxes, so what does that say about me" she giggled. 

 

"That you’re starting to be hooked" she laughed. 

 

.... 

 

Being taller Alex took it upon herself to glue the tape around the windows. Her hyper concentration on making it as neat as possible made Yaz giggle. Board waiting, she started glueing pieces of tape on Alex's bum. 

 

"Oi, I'm wobbling up here.” 

 

"Is that how I make you feel Alex Sigma?" She laughed dropping a kiss to her side. 

"Stop that..." she laughed. 

 

"Surely you can multitask babe" she giggled dropping one more kiss to her hip. 

 

"Depends on what I'm having to multitask." 

 

"Ouch" 

 

Alex looked down and winked, smirking. 

 

....

 

By the time it hit five Alex finished rolling the last wall and Yaz was still up on the ladder finishing the last part of the edges. 

 

"I'm almost done" she said. 

 

"You gotta see this Yazee..." She was looking around elated "My god, what a change." 

 

"Done..." Yaz said passing her a brush and the little paint pot then turned looking around quickly before she stepped off the ladder "Fucking hell...it looks great." 

 

"It doooooes" 

 

"It has to dry out before we put the wallpaper on...I'm really thirsty now." 

 

"Let's go down and take a little break, I fancy some crisps.” 

 

"I do need a break I can't feel my hand" she messed around waiving it floppy making Alex laugh 

 

... 

 

"What are you looking for?" Alex asked as Yaz dug through the shopping bags in the living room. 

 

"That roller we bought for the wallpaper....  found it" she said haply and left it on the side then sat at the table and gulped through the whole glass of juice. 

 

"Bloody hell, you are thirsty" Alex laughed and sat on her lap. 

 

"Aha...my eyes were popping out I just couldn't be bothered getting off the ladder.” 

 

She closed her arms around Alex and rubbed her face into her shoulder. 

 

"Sleepy?" 

 

"Mmmm" she hummed. 

 

"We did get up early today." 

 

"I still don't understand where you get all the energy from...But I'm happy we're doing this. I can't wait to see it finished." 

 

"I'm just worried about the wallpaper." 

 

"It'll be fine, I'm sure we can manage" she said with a yawn "Sooo...when are we having your adopted child here?" She giggled into her back. 

 

"Next weekend?" she grinned haply "We need to pick up our kids tomorrow." 

 

"I knoooow...If you want, I'll do that in the morning." 

 

"Alright sweet pea" 

 

"You stay here and unpack. We don't have a lot left. Just those" she pointed to the two big boxes still in the middle of the living room. 

 

"We can put the crimbo stuff up tomorrow" Alex wiggled her bum in her lap wasting through the packet of vinegar crisps. 

 

"We could wriggly worm" she tightened her arms around her and felt Alex melt into her embrace. 

 

.... 

 

"Just hold it like that babe" Yaz said and carefully rolled the first strip of wallpaper onto the wall. She was anxious about it and felt Alex's nervousness jumping off her. She sighed relieved when she came to the bottom. 

 

"Waaaaaw....we actually did it!" Alex chirped excitedly. 

 

"Is it straight? Please tell me it's straight or I'll shoot myself." 

 

Alex squinted critically, taking a few steps away from the wall "Yap looks perfect babe." 

 

"No fucking way? Really?" She jumped to her feet and stood next to her. 

 

"Yap, look, perfect job babe" she gave her high five and smashed a quick kiss to her lips. 

 

"I can't fucking believe it." 

 

"You can't believe it? You were the one convincing me we could do it." 

 

"Honest...I was bluffing" she laughed "And hoping for the best." 

 

"Whaaaa??" 

 

"Yeaaaah...I had to Google it." 

 

"You little fucker" Alex tickled her. 

 

"I just wanted us to save money. And it's fun" she laughed. 

 

"You little liar..." Alex poked at her tickling her. 

 

"Aaaa...no tickles...no no...aaa...fucker" she screamed trying to get away as Alex grabbed her waist from behind swinging her across the room and they both tumbled to the floor "You silly fuck" she laughed squished underneath her "Get off!!" she yelled smacking her bum. 

 

Alex rolled onto her back, pissing herself with laughter, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her in for a kiss, happiness welling up like delirium inside her.  Yaz went pliant giving into it, small broken whimper leaving her lips as Alex's hands went busy trailing across her waist and her back. She broke a kiss with a laugh. 

 

"Listen you" she covered her mouth with her hand as Alex giggled into her palm kissing it "This isn't productive.” 

 

"Mmmm" she nodded laughing. 

 

"Behave..." she giggled. 

 

"Mmm" Alex shook her head and slipped her hand into her jumpsuit grabbing her bum. 

 

"You dirty fucker" she laughed "Did you have a horny pill today?" She laughed moving her hand from her mouth. 

 

"You're cute" Alex giggled "so cute in these" she pulled her shoulder strap with her finger "I wanted to do this all day." 

 

"You're crazy" Yaz laughed and tucked her curls behind her ear "I really fucking love you" she said and kissed her again. 

 

Reluctantly, they parted and continued wallpapering for another hour, then finished it off with a wooden dado rail that Alex had cut with surprising precision. It took another hour to hang all the small pictures and shelves and tidy up the room. Alex hoovered while Yaz washed all the brushes and put everything away. The only thing left to do was to assemble the cot and bring in the large wooden nursing chair along with all the baby stuff Alex had collected over the months since Prem had been staying with them. The room was finally finished, and the two of them were completely exhausted, but content. 

 

The soft evening light fell over the rainbow curtains and illuminated the cot in the corner. It was a small room, but cozy and warm. The smell of wood and freshly painted walls still lingered in the air. 

 

Yaz slumped down the wall and sat on the floor watching Alex as she arranged the story books by color on the small shelf. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart as she watched her wife completely engulfed in what seemed almost like a roll play. She stood up and picked up the teddy bear from the floor, then went over and placed it on the shelf. 

 

Alex looked at her from the side with the happiest smile and Yaz's heart dropped to the floor. 

 

"Isn't it beautiful?" 

 

"It's gorgeous baby" Yaz reached out for her wrist and pulled her in closing arms around her waist "I really love you. You do know that my beautiful silly billy?" she hummed bopping her nose at hers playfully. 

 

"Love you too sweet pea" she smiled and dropped a kiss to her lips "We did a great job" she said contentedly turning in her arms looking at the room once more. In every detail, Alex dreamed about a future that no longer seemed like a distant fantasy. 

 

"We sure did" Yaz kissed her shoulder "And now I need a shower and some food" she dropped another one to the side of her neck "And beeed...I'm dreaming about bed." 

 

"Me too, I'm knackered" she giggled and turned around "Shower together?" 

 

"You speak my language Alex Sigma" she laughed tugging on her hand.
