Finally Home: Wayhaught

Once in the living room, Nicole turned to Waverly, leaning against the back of the couch and pulling her close. “I know we’re supposed to see everyone else now, but I don’t wanna.” She breathed, leaning up to connect their lips again and Waverly sighed into the kiss, resting her hands on Nicole’s shoulders.

“Let’s not then, let’s stay here.” Waverly grinned, leaning back down for another kiss and smiling against her wife’s lips.

“I didn’t get to say earlier, but the dress is so beautiful, you’re so beautiful.”

“I think you said that earlier.” Waverly teased, blushing slightly and biting her lip.

“Nope, not about the dress I didn’t.” Nicole smirked, reaching up and rubbing her thumb against Waverly’s cheek gently as she kissed the corner of her mouth.

“Yeah? Do you like it? Was it what you imagined?” Waverly rambled slightly and Nicole’s eyes widened instantly.

“Like it? Waverly you look- this is- it’s so beyond anything I could have imagined. Holy crap you look stunning, the dress is gorgeous, you’re gorgeous.” Nicole leaned up to kiss her again, cutting off her own rambling now and relaxing in the way Waverly giggled softly against her lips.

“And you-“ Waverly pulled away breathlessly, ignoring the fact that out of the corner of her eye she could see her friends making their way towards her. “You look so sexy - remind me again why you don’t wear suits everyday?” She breathed out, not hiding the way her eyes scanned up and down Nicole’s body shamelessly. 

“Because…” Nicole pressed their foreheads together. “They’re uncomfy, plus it would make less of an impact when I did.” She grinned and Waverly shook her head, their forehead’s still connected.

“No I think it would always make an impact baby, always.” Waverly replied. “But I do love your sweats and baseball t-shirts so I’ll take the compromise.” She grinned and Nicole let out a breathy laugh.

“Well I will put them on for you later.” Nicole smirked, connecting their lips again.

“Or you could not?” Waverly teased, but before Nicole could reply, Chrissy, Rosita, Jeremy and Robin bounded up beside them, cheering and very much interrupting the moment.

“MRS AND MRS EARP-HAUGHT!” Jeremy began, clapping Nicole on the back hard.

“THE FOOD HAS ARRIVED!” Robin added with a goofy grin, causing Waverly to giggle.

“Which means I’m pretty sure that’s when the speeches happen right?” Rosita grinned, leaning on Chrissy gently.

“Better hope your sister isn’t drunk already.” Chrissy continued as Waverly took Nicole’s hand again.

“After you my love.” Nicole hummed against the back of Waverly’s head, their hands connected as she planted a kiss and let Waverly lead her outside to the tables.

Outside was everything Waverly had pictured and more. The small tables had been pushed together to form a line and were draped in the crisp white cloth. Even in the midday sunlight, the fairy lights sparkled. Flower arrangements blossomed in the middle of the table and loose petals in matching colours wound between the plates. Still though, it held the homely elements which so characterised the place, with the jumble of different plate designs and range of glasses giving the rustic, homely feel. Waverly had decided it wasn’t worth buying new sets which would never be used again, and only now was she realising the aesthetic outcome of her decision. Shorty had laid out small arrangements of food on each table, mostly vegan with a few meat options at Wynonna’s demand. Four bottles of champagne were in the middle of each table and soft instrumental guitar was now coming from the speaker.

Nicole stopped Waverly with a gentle tug on her hand, causing her to turn to face her. “It looks so beautiful baby, who knew the homestead could look this perfect.” She teased with a small wink.

With a soft giggle, Waverly shrugged. “Just had to give it a little bit of love.” She continued walking, taking Nicole to the middle of the tables.

An hour of chatting later, with the Champagne mostly gone and people increasingly giddy and chatty - everyone except Waverly and Nicole who had decided not to drink - Wynonna stood up, smacking her spoon off her glass in a decidedly inelegant way.

“Oh boy.” Nicole muttered, causing Waverly to bump her shoulder gently.

“I have a speech. When I say I have one, I mean I didn’t plan anything, so we’re just gonna go with the flow here.” She winked at her sister across the table who was already giggling. Something about the sheer happiness at how well the day was going made Waverly giggly and excitable. No alcohol was needed when she already felt this strange wave of almost surreal energy washing through her body creating the same giggles as booze did.

“Can we back out of this?” Nicole leant down to whisper, not taking her eyes off Wynonna across the table. Waverly just shook her head with a small smile, waiting for her sister to continue.

“Well now I have your attention - which was surprisingly easy by the way - I just want to say no one will ever be good enough for my sister.” Waverly felt Nicole’s hand squeeze hers a little under the table, but Wynonna continued before anyone could say anything. “BUT if it had to be anyone, I’m glad it was a cop I guess.” She winked at Nicole who rolled her eyes.

After a pause, Wynonna cleared her throat a little. “Okay, I hope everyone is drunk enough to forget this after today, but here goes.” She dropped her eyes to the table, before looking back up and locking them on Waverly. “Your whole life, you’ve been through some shit babygirl. I’ve always tried to make it better, to be there for you, but I was never going to be enough alone. I mean I can’t help you with any of that yano, which by the way I just want you to know I can definitely hear.” She tilted her head and made a crude hand gesture as Nicole pressed her head into her hands, before shaking her head and continuing.

“I always thought you’d meet someone and they’d be that person and I’d have to step back, to let you move on and to trust you, but then you met Nicole. Well you did a little more than meet if you catch ma drift” She wiggled her hands around again and Waverly squeezed her eyes shut, peeking out of one.

“Wynonna.” She groaned, gently pleading with her sister. Beside her, Nicole looked mortified at the fact her old deputy and boss were sat a few chairs down listening to all of the comments about her sex life.

Quickly, the older Earp flicked her eyes over to Nicole who was listening on edge, her hand locked in Waverly’s under the table. “I uh, when I couldn’t be there for you, there was no one else could have kept it together. You risked everything for Waverly and I never got to thank you for that, for how happy you make my little sister.” She raised her glass again and Nicole lifted her own with water. “But I do want you to know that when you’re making her happy tonight.” She air quoted the word and this time Nicole let out an audible groan. “I’m just downstairs. I mean honestly I can’t believe you decided to stay here on your wedding night, that was a dumb move horny Haught.” With that, Nicole shot her eyes towards Waverly in a panic.

“You said she was going to stop with that!” Nicole hissed and Waverly gave her an apologetic smile, looking back at her sister.

“Okay, that’s enough now… said Haught, never. Okay I am actually done now.” Wynonna let out a breathy laugh. “I’m proud of you babygirl.” She added on more quietly, as everyone lifted their glasses, giving a quick wink at her baby sister before plopping aggressively back down on the chair.

“Alright my turn.” Ash jumped up on the right of Wynonna. “Reckon I can do better than that though.” She winked at Doc who was the other side of Wynonna, cradling the twins gently.

“Nicole has always been a private person, in school she’d cover her weird loner-ness with sports and beer.” Ash teased as Waverly beamed, turning to face Nicole. Never would she tire of hearing Ash’s tales of Nicole’s teenage days. A part of her wished she could have gone back and had her high school romance with Nicole; to cheer for her sports games, to study together in the library after school or sneak out of their windows to meet by the lake. Another part of her though knows that if that was the case, she might never have had this chance with Nicole. Truth was she wasn’t ready to come out in high school and if she’d have met Nicole then, they wouldn’t have lasted and she’d have lost her forever to her own fear.

“She’d never let herself give everything to anyone, she just let them go before anyone got hurt.” Ash looked to Waverly with a softness in her eyes which the young girl hadn’t ever seen from her before. It felt like Ash was talking to her and her alone, as though there was no one else at the table and she was talking only to Waverly. It felt like acceptance and acknowledgement. “I remember when she met you, so clearly. We went for coffee the next day and she couldn’t stop gushing about you and she hadn’t even seen you yet.” Ash shook her head a little and looked down momentarily, before looking back up and locking eyes. “What I’m trying to say is that you gave Nicole the comfort she deserved, you gave her a happiness I wasn’t sure she’d ever accept and you’re the only one who she’s trusted with every part of her. Even when she ran, she couldn’t leave this time, because what you two have is real, it’s true and I’m really happy for both of you. I’ve never met two people who deserve this more and even though I was convinced we’d never be here, I’m really happy we are. So here’s to the two of you.” Ash grinned back at Nicole and connected their glasses, sitting down gently next to Wynonna who groaned at the speech.

Jeremy and Robin looked at each other and shared a nod before standing up.

Wynonna looked across at the boys next to Waverly and raised a brow. “You two are doing a speech together?” When they simply nodded at her, she snorted. “That is so gay.”

“Says you!” Rosita tilted her head and Wynonna gave her the  finger as Doc covered Wren’s eyes.

“We were lucky enough to be there the day these two smoke shows met for the first time.” Jeremy began, clearly tipsy enough to stand up in front of everyone and make the speech. “And it was clear from day one when - what is they say Doc?”

“Sparks were a flying.” Doc gave a friendly nod with sparkling eyes, to the young man who pointed his finger excitedly.

“Yup! That’s the one! Sparks were a flying! Anyway, Waves is my best friend and the sweetest person I know. Nicole, I’ve never seen her as happy as when she’s with you, not even when the new animal crossing game came out or we drew birds on our faces to see the new hunger games movie - birds as in actual birds with feathers and beaks and stuff, not like women, yeah okay, Robin you go…” Jeremy trailed off, looking at his boyfriend with wide eyes who just rubbed his back softly, clearly a lot more on the sober spectrum than the shorter one.

“What Jeremy is trying to say is that he’s happy for the two of you and everyone here can see how happy you both make each other.  You both deserve this moment and the ceremony has been as beautiful as your love for each other - I guess all your planning was worth it Waves. Oh and also I’m glad I finally have someone to watch the sports with.” He winked at Nicole who raised her glass with a grin. “This town isn’t an easy place to make home, but I’m really glad you have and that I can now call you one of my best friends.” 

“Hey that space is taken.” Wynonna interrupted, glaring at Robin and getting a breathy laugh from the newly weds as Jeremy and Robin took their seats.

Doc stood up slowly and handed Wren to Chrissy who cradled the baby gently, Rosita sitting beside her, bouncing William on her lap. He headed over to the speaker without a word and gave a nod back to Nicole who rose quickly, holding her hand out for Waverly who placed her water down gently and took it, standing up gracefully.

The opening guitar riff of John Mayer and Katy Perry ‘Who you love' crackled through the old speaker as Nicole pulled Waverly towards the middle of the grass where the confetti was scattered from earlier. In the sky, the sun was beginning to lower and the light of golden hour framed their faces like a honey aura, the forest of their eyes sparkling back at each other as Waverly connected her hands behind Nicole’s neck, the redhead’s finding their place on the smaller girl’s hips.

As the vocals began, Nicole rolled her lips, dropping her gaze for a second, becoming very aware that everyone was watching them. “This feels different to the living room.” She muttered softly, with a gentle laugh in her tone. 

Waverly grinned, biting her lip. “Yeah, because now we’re married.” She tilted her head to catch Nicole’s eye and caught the sparkle in her wife’s eye, knowing instantly that Nicole was trying to hide the fact she was crying.

The musical lilt in the small girl’s voice, brought Nicole back to the first time they met and she lifted her head slowly, finally able to forget everyone else and focus on them and their moment. “We’re married.” She echoed, a goofy grin spreading on her face which made Waverly miss a step, recovering quickly.

“Should we show them our trick?” Waverly winked, twisting the small curls at the nape of Nicole’s neck between her fingers, something which always grounded both of them in moments of intensity.

“I think we should.” Nicole replied with a smirk as they quickly rearranged, Nicole taking Waverly’s hand and spinning her, dipping her so naturally the table behind them all raised a brow. Little did they know, the couple had practiced that move in their living room for weeks, Waverly trying to demonstrate to Nicole who was much taller and stronger than her small, toned self.

When Waverly was back up and wrapped in Nicole’s arms, the redhead had the same goofy smile of pride and Waverly wasn’t sure if it was because of the dip, or because of the fact they were married, it was likely both. “Nailed it.” Nicole mumbled and Waverly pushed up slightly to connect their lips, smiling contentedly into the kiss.

“We sure did baby.”

Behind them, the entire table had made their way onto the makeshift dance floor with their respective partners, Nedley standing off to the side with Mikey and the twins, watching on with a grin and chatting animatedly about old stories from the force.

When the song shifted to another slow song, Doc made his way over to the couple and held out his hand to Waverly who smiled with a fondness at the older man. “May I?” He asked both of them simultaneously and Nicole gave a smile and nod as Waverly took his hand, walking away with him. She was vaguely aware that behind them, her drunk sister had definitely jumped Nicole and demanded she dance with her too.

“You look ravishing love.” Doc beamed down with pride at Waverly, who shook her head gently with a blush. In the past they had had their moments, but at the end of the day, Doc had been the only one besides Wynonna who had been there through it all, to see Mamma leave, to see her in her highs - winning prom queen and getting into University - and to help her through the  scary moments - coming out, leaving home, finding her missing sister. They both had their downfalls, but somehow there was this unspoken, familial connection which never left. Waverly truly looked to him as a brother and Doc knew he would do whatever within his power to ensure her happiness.

“You look very handsome.” Waverly replied.

“I have not had the chance to see you much today at all, but you should know that I am so very proud of the woman you have become. If your mamma could see what you have built here alone, the bravery and fearlessness with which you have taken on this scary world, I know she would be so proud of the both of you.” Doc stated and Waverly’s eyes widened. It was rare for them to have this intimate a conversation and she hadn’t been expecting.

“Doc, I- thank you. That uh, that really mattered.” Waverly smiled sweetly and he nodded.

“It is a beautiful ceremony.” He added on and Waverly giggled a little.

“Yeah I might have gone a little overboard on the planning.” She blushed, biting her lip softly.

“I do believe your sister may have mentioned.” He nodded with a deep, rough laugh as they looked over their shoulder at Wynonna batting Nicole’s hands away.

“Hands off the goods Haughty, you’re married now!” Wynonna growled and Nicole snorted.

“Yeah, like I’d ever date you anyway. You’re pretty and all, but you’re no Waverly.” Nicole teased, looking past Wynonna to wink at Waverly who turned back to Doc with a gentle smile. 

“How dare you. I am a phoenix.” Wynonna replied with a straight face and Nicole almost doubled over laughing.

“You’re a what?”

“They’re cool, and beautiful and they rise from the ashes and all that shit.” Wynonna shrugged. “Are we gonna dance or what, you klutz.”

Nicole raised her brow, confused by the back and forth of the conversation. “You’re the one who wouldn’t let me touch you ten seconds ago!”

“Well I changed my mind because you’re laughing at me.” Wynonna reached out and grabbed Nicole’s hands, guiding them to her waist and stepping instantly on her shoes.

“Wynonna!” Nicole complained, shuffling her feet back with a groan. “I just bought these.”

“Ya know most people would be thrilled to be dancing with a hot girl.” Wynonna rolled her eyes and Nicole shook her head.

“Yeah, but she’s over there.” Without hesitation, Nicole fired back,  and Wynonna stuck her tongue out impulsively. It was clear her comebacks were not on their top form today due to the fact she was still catching up on her old drinking habits again; her tolerance had very much declined in those nine months.

“Why are you dancing with me then?” Wynonna scowled.

Again, Nicole snorted, enjoying being the sober one in this situation for a change. “Well, because my wife is dancing with Doc and because you asked me too? Oh and because you’re my sister in law now.” She leant in to whisper against Wynonna’s ear. “I think it’s tradition.”

“If we’re sisters can we still be best friends?” Wynonna asked with a genuine sadness in her eye that caught Nicole off guard.

“Yeah, uh yeah of course we can, we’re always gonna be best friends man.” She replied slightly awkwardly, not drunk enough for these kinds of conversations with Wynonna.

“Great, just checking.” Wynonna chirped and the light, innocence in her voice reminded Nicole so much of Waverly. Sometimes, in the most intimate moments there were so many similarities between the sisters it took her breath away.

They had been so in the moment that they hadn’t noticed Doc and Waverly making their way back towards them. “Let me relieve you Sheriff.” Doc winked gently, taking Wynonna’s hand and leading her, half carrying her, back to the dance floor. 

Waverly had barely made her way back into Nicole’s arms when she heard her sister yell behind them. “ASHLEY!! I love this song let’s dance!” She stumbled over to the equally as drunk blonde, dancing to an awful pop song which Waverly was almost 90% sure her sister didn’t actually know. She turned back to face Nicole, laughing softly as they danced together to the song, content with the sounds of their friends singing and laughing around them.

Nicole and Waverly had long changed out of their wedding outfits once everyone had moved the celebration into the homestead and out of the cold night air. Now they were cuddled up on the couch, both wearing sweatpants, Nicole with a vest top and Waverly with one of Nicole’s old t-shirts rolled up and tied into a crop top around her waist. Waverly twisted around and pressed her face into Nicole’s neck, leaving gentle kisses along her neck and collarbone. Around them, their evidently more drunk friends chatted and danced to the music, but both of them were feeling the exhaustion of the emotional day.

“Nickerbocker! Nick nack! Nicky Nicky nine doors!” Jeremy stumbled over the back of the couch, and landed on top of Waverly in Nicole’s lap, causing the redhead to let out a grunt, holding on tighter to Waverly as their friend rolled off them and landed on the floor.

“Did he just call you Nickerbocker?” Waverly started giggling so hard she was practically bouncing up and down on Nicole’s abs as she lay there.

Nicole winced as Robin yanked Jeremy up from the floor, wrapping his arm around his waist to support him as they moved to the armchair. Apparently, it seemed to the newly wed’s that their friends had all made some kind of agreement that at least one of them had to stay sober. It had made sense for Wynonna and Doc, needing someone to take care of the children, but Robin seemed to be a lot more sober than Jeremy and Rosita more so than Chrissy. Ash, Wynonna and Jeremy on the other hand, were not so sober.

“Yeah, that’s a first.” Nicole let out a breathy laugh, running her hand through Waverly’s hair. The brunette’s eyes fluttered slightly at the sensation, before the moment was ruined by Ash dragging Jack into the living room, followed by a very drunk Chrissy and a slightly tipsy Rosita. 

“Waves!” Chrissy yelled, slumping to the floor in front of them. Waverly winced a little, knowing that she was probably ruining her beautiful, pale dress from earlier. “Sooooo how does it feel being a married woman?” Chrissy continued, wiggling her brows a little as Waverly blushed and instinctively held on a little tighter to Nicole.

“It feels the same, but also pretty great, because now I can call you my wife.” She smiled sheepishly up at Nicole who just beamed back, getting a collective awe from the girl. Hearing the awe and having no idea what was going on, across the room, Jeremy joined in anyway, yelling out his own awe, causing the group to fall about laughing.

“HOW DARE YOU BE ALL HAVING FUN WITHOUT ME!” Wynonna slurred, stumbling up to them and landing on top of Ash as Jack managed to scoot out of the way quickly. Clearly, Doc had helped Wynonna change too before going upstairs to put the twins to bed, as she was wearing a fluffy dinosaur onesie and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. 

“How could we ever have fun without the one and only Wynonna Earp.” Ash teased with a wink and Wynonna clicked her tongue in response.

“Okay jeez, are you gonna bang everyone in the room?” Chrissy rolled her eyes, flopping back onto Rosita who smirked at Wynonna. The older Earp’s jaw had dropped open in surprise, but she quickly composed herself, even with the alcohol.

“Why, you jealous?” She shot back and Rosita’s face quickly turned into a scowl. “Besides, I haven’t banged everyone. Jeremy’s always been gay and Ash, well the offer has always been there.” She shrugged, turning to the blonde who laughed lightly.

“Sexy as that offer is, I am very much straight.” Ash responded with an apologetic pout and Jack sat up beside her just as Mikey plopped down.

“You never tried to bang me!” Jack complained.

“Yeah or me!” Mikey added, bumping shoulders and Wynonna shrugged.

“You’ve been with your girl for years and I’m not a home wrecker.” She pointed to Jack and then turned to Mikey. “And I thought you were gay all through high school honestly.” She laughed at her own joke when the boy gaped.

“I dated like half the cheer team!” He shot back and Nicole sat up quickly, glaring down at Waverly. “Not Waves! No we never dated, just friends. On my life!” Mikey dramatically crossed his heart and Nicole slumped back a little bit in relief.

“Did you really think I wouldn’t tell you if I dated your deputy?” Waverly asked with wide eyes, twisting her hands mindlessly in Nicole’s vest.

Nicole shrugged, relaxing at the touch. “No, I thought maybe it just slipped your mind.”

“Jealous Haught! Jealous Haught!” Wynonna started, gesturing for Ash to join in, but giving up and lying on her back when the blonde ignored her.

Ash twisted so her head was rested on her hands. “You know Nicky hit on me the first time we met too.”

Nicole rolled her eyes. “Not the first time, we were like 9 I wasn’t even out.”

“Oh so you think it makes this better that you hit on me after knowing me for 5 years?” Ash raised a brow and Nicole shrunk back slightly.

“You hit on Ash?!” Waverly’s brows almost shot off her forehead.

Defensively, Nicole shrugged. “You hit on Jeremy!” She shot back and, hearing his name, Jeremy stumbled over to them, dropping down again onto the floor.

“Can we not make them all jealous before they go to bed, my ears can’t deal with that tonight!” Wynonna shuddered.

“Anyway I only hit on Ash because I was trying to check if she was gay or not!” Nicole defended, shifting slightly under Waverly as her legs began to fall asleep.

Ash snorted. “Yeah so you thought the best way to come out to me was to hit on me!”

Again, Nicole shrugged, getting more and more defensive as she sank back into the couch. Waverly noticed instantly and reached up to stroke her cheek gently. “I’m not jealous baby, I’m just teasing.” She promised, pressing a soft kiss to Nicole’s cheek and blushing a little at the way the redhead swooned at the smallest action.

“Look what you’ve done now, idiot, they're all lovey!” Wynonna snarled, slapping Ash’s arm with the back of her hand.

“What! Would you rather I spoke about all the sappy shit!” Ash complained rubbing her arm.

“OOOOOH like how Waverly cried the first time she met Nicole?” Jeremy added completely innocently and Waverly’s eyes widened and she started shaking her head desperately, noticing the direction this conversation was going in. “Or how she named her sims Waverly and Nicole and made them get married.” Waverly turned to press her face into Nicole’s chest, mortified with all of this discussion now. She never thought she’d say it, but she wished they could go back to the conversation about their sex life, it was less excruciating. “Or how she had a Pinterest board for your wedding since the day you asked her to be your girlfriend.” Jeremy shrugged, looking confused when Robin slapped his hand down over his mouth.

“Jer I love you, but please stop talking.” Robin winced a little as Waverly lifted her face up from Nicole’s chest, tilting her head up to catch Nicole’s eye who just seemed to be even more in love than ever. 

Noticing her wife’s embarrassment, Nicole decided not to make a big deal out of any of it, she could always tease her later. “You played sims without me?” She replied sweetly with a hint of pretend hurt that made Waverly smile again, sitting upright and leaning on her shoulder.

“Ugh seriously, does deputy perfect ever get annoyed by anything.” Wynonna groaned and finally Jack spoke up, after a huge laugh and a glare from Nicole.

“Oh yeah, she absolutely does. One time the same kid kept calling the station everyday and she threatened to find his house, put his phone in the microwave and make him watch as she blew it up.” Jack replied and Waverly’s mouth fell open.

“He was a little shit!” Nicole defended, quickly. “And it’s not like I was going to arrest or fine him, so I really had no other option.”

Mikey raised his brows as he watched on. “Huh, I never took you for an aggressor Sheriff.” He smirked. “You’re pretty lax with Susie - she calls in all the time?”

Nicole sighed. “I’m not an aggressor, and besides Susie is different, I was trying to teach the kid a lesson, Susie is beyond stopping at this point.” Waverly just smirked a little at the aggressor comment. Nicole was the furthest person from an aggressor, in fact they even joked that Nicole had the worlds longest fuse when it came to getting angry, it took a lot to get a rise out of her, which was probably a good thing given that she was now family with Wynonna Earp.

“I have a long fuse.” Nicole added. “But I get annoyed by you all the time.” She pointed half-heartedly at Wynonna who pouted for a second in thought, before deciding that wasn’t a real answer.

“Doesn’t count, I have that power with anyone.” She admitted almost proudly.

“Oh we know.” Robin nodded, running his hands through Jeremy’s hair.

Throughout the entire interaction, Waverly had zoned out. Without paying any attention to the bickering, she turned away and started kissing gently on Nicole’s exposed biceps. It didn’t take long for Nicole to notice as she looked down and saw Waverly in her own world, contentedly stroking her thigh and kissing her. She knew it was a gentle, maybe even unintentional sign that Waverly was ready to leave and have some time alone and Nicole cleared her throat a little, more for herself to keep herself together and not melt under the touch.

“We’re gonna go upstairs. It’s been a long day.” Nicole tried casually, slipping out from under Waverly who looked up at her gratefully, hiding her excitement surprisingly well.

Ash and Wynonna rolled their eyes at each other.

“Yeah sure ‘long day’.” Wynonna teased and high fived Ash.

“Because the day is totally over!” Ash yelled out, grinning as Nicole flipped her off with the hand which wasn’t entwined with Waverly’s.

Once upstairs Nicole shut the door quickly behind them and was almost knocked over as Waverly instantly kissed her hard, pushing her back into it. “Waves shhh they’re gonna know!” Nicole laughed gently against her lips as Waverly kept kissing her.

“Who cares, they already know. I don’t give a fuck anymore. I just wanna have sex with my wife!” Waverly replied without hesitation and Nicole let her hands Wander under her shirt, scratching at her back gently.

“God that was so sexy.” She growled back, pushing them further towards the bed, their lips only disconnecting when Waverly bounced back on the bed.

Nicole quickly pulled off her vest top, tilting her head to let Waverly kiss down her neck gently. Just as she had reached to pull Waverly’s top over her head the door to their room clattered open and she grabbed for the throw blanket frantically, still on top of Waverly.

“YES SEE I FUCKING KNEW IT!” Wynonna clapped her hands together clearly not at all bothered by the fact Waverly had just been underneath a half naked Nicole. In her drunken state, she was far more focused on the fact that she had been right about what they were doing upstairs.

“WYNONNA!” Waverly and Nicole both yelled in unison, not even embarrassed anymore, just simply more frustrated at being interrupted.

“Yeah I don’t even know why I came with you, I didn’t want to see that.” Ash winced, covering her eyes and stumbling away as Nicole dropped down and pressed her head into the blanket, her legs still entwined with Waverly’s.

“Okay well I’ll leave you both to it, just yano keep it down, kids and all!” Wynonna gave them a wink and pulled the door closed behind her.

Less than a second after the door had closed, Nicole felt Waverly shifting underneath each other and lifted her head to find her wife quickly pulling off her shirt. When Waverly saw Nicole looking up again she pushed forward and connected their lips, indicating that she was not letting Wynonna ruin the moment. Never one to complain, Nicole quickly kissed back, both of them letting out a breathy laugh as they regarded the situation. 

Quickly, though they became lost in the moment again, the surreal nature of the fact they were in the old bed which contained so many memories and which still had Waverly’s high school decoration, yet now could call each other wife was enough to cause everything else from outside to drift away. The walls became the protective barrier again, but this time for an entirely different chapter of her life.
