But we are the same size other than your feet. So we will share.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ken, I can&#8217;t borrow your clothes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And underwear.&#8221; Before Emily had a chance to say something she quickly added. &#8220;But they are not mine. If we are going to be wives, then what mine is yours and yours is mine and you look better in my clothes. So there!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily was learning fast, &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to change your mind about sharing, are you?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nope,&#8221; She said smirking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Fine. I am surprised and everything fits me, I thought you were smaller than me. Other than in height and boobies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Emily! If you say one more word about you being fat, I will stop this car and tie you to the top of this car naked!&#8221; She wouldn&#8217;t really, but she wanted to prove a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the next half an hour the only sound was the sound of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Emily, please speak to me? I didn&#8217;t mean it. I really love you so much. More than anyone, even myself and you are so beautiful, so perfect. It just pisses me off that you can&#8217;t see that. You haven&#8217;t got one ounce of fat on you, your clothes are all shapeless or too big. I just am trying to prove to you\u2026&#8221; She sighed sadly, but kept her eyes on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m\u2026 I&#8217;m sorry, doll.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No. I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221; Kennedy glance to the side to see Emily teary eyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding a gap in the traffic, she pulled the car over at the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why you crying, doll? I&#8217;m not angry,&#8221; She said unbuckling her seat belt and leaning over to her girlfriend and wrapping her arms around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am so stupid. I keep saying things wrong,&#8221; Emily cried more and buried her face in the crook of Kennedy&#8217;s neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I just want to be perfect for you. I am sorry. I love you. I don&#8217;t want to lose you too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Aww, doll, don&#8217;t cry.&#8221; She covered Emily&#8217;s face in kisses. &#8220;Haven&#8217;t I already told you, you are my soul mate, my one love. I am never letting you go, even if you do become fat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You might change you mind. You are so beautiful and loving, you could have anyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You may think that, but other people don&#8217;t. You are perfect for me. Who else would watch Doctor Who with me and eat fish fingers and custard?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily pulled back and looked at her with a confused expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But we don&#8217;t do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy smirked and moved her hand over Emily&#8217;s denim clad crutch. &#8220;But we could. If you provide the fish fingers, I&#8217;ll provide the creamy custard,&#8221; She said suggestively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily&#8217;s mouth fell open, &#8220;How is it you can turn everything sexual?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have a gift,&#8221; Kennedy said grinning, &#8220;But at least you are not sad anymore.&#8221; She began placing kisses on her neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry I am so emotional.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s alright, doll. It&#8217;s understanding after everything that happened.&#8221; She gave her one last kiss before returning to her own seat and buckling herself back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Here.&#8221; She held out her phone for Emily, who took it and looking unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s on contract, so I have unlimited internet. You can watch or play online so you don&#8217;t get bored.&#8221; She explained as she restarted the car and went back into the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another half an hour later and a bunch of random YouTube videos and the phone began to ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Who is it?&#8221; Kennedy who was still driving asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Umm.&#8221; Emily looked at the caller ID. &#8220;It&#8217;s your mum.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy sighed, &#8220;Put her on loud speaker and hold the phone close, please, doll?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She did as she speak and a moment later a high pitch crying filled the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mum, I&#8217;m driving.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry, darling. Just wanted to let you know baby Taylor is here, a healthy baby girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Taylor?&#8221; She laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, nice right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mum, it&#8217;s stupid.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, it isn&#8217;t,&#8221; Her mum defended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mum, you have a grandson called Tyler and granddaughter called Taylor. I am not calling my child Ticker to make a full set.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily silently giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her mum seemed to get the joke and joined in the laughing. The whaling baby seemed to quieten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kennedy, if you have a baby you will probably name it Kiwi or something just to be different.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ah, damn. You ruined the surprise,&#8221; She joked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll let you go, darling. I just rang to check if you were on your way, if your friend was coming and to tell you about Taylor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, she is here. We will be there in about two hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said there goodbye and hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She seems nice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She is. So are the rest of my family despite the stupid names.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t really call our baby Kiwi, would you?&#8221; She sounded so stupid, Kennedy couldn&#8217;t help but chuckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of course not, doll. I was thinking maybe Dolly, after her mummy and if it was a boy, Buck.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No. I&#8217;ll tell you what, I&#8217;ll name them, you can change the nappies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey, how is that fair?&#8221; Kennedy whined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily shrugged, &#8220;You want to be a mummy, then you got to do what they do. I&#8217;ll be carrying them and feeding them, so you get nappy duty.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Fine, but only if I get you try some milk when it comes?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her girlfriend laughed and agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the drive was speak joking, watching various old BBC comedies on YouTube and taking a short toilet and snack break, before driving the rest of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took a total of three hours, not including stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just before they arrived in Ambleside, Cumbria, Kennedy had Emily call her mum and put it on voice speaker again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asked her where they were and then said they are only twenty minutes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are going to the hospital. Don&#8217;t worry though, we&#8217;ll only be there for about twenty minutes because Ashley is tired, after being up all night,&#8221; Kennedy told her girlfriend knowing she was nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My parents and sister have all gone home, so it will only be us, my brother, his wife and baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Alright,&#8221; She say quietly. &#8220;Are you going to tell them about us?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want too. Is that alright with you?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; She paused, &#8220;Do you think they&#8217;ll like me?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You kidding?&#8221; Kennedy asked laughing. &#8220;They will love you more than they do me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I find that hard to believe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily spent the next few minutes of the drive oh-ing and ah-ing at all the pretty scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so pretty here, Ken. How ever did you leave?&#8221; She asked her eyes still glued to the distant mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m honestly not sure myself,&#8221; Kennedy admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I wish I lived here,&#8221; Emily almost whispered, but Kennedy heard her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You will, doll. I promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Doll, you look great,&#8221; Kennedy reassured her, as they walked into the hospital hand in hand. But kept pulling on the shorts with her free hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People are staring,&#8221; She whispered noticing a couple of old men looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That is because you have great legs.&#8221; Kennedy looked them up and down. &#8220;I am about four inches taller than you, yet your legs are the same length as mine. They are so fricking hot.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mum said Ashley is at the maternity centre, in the butterfly unit.&#8221; She looked at the signs on the wall until she found the right one. &#8220;This way.&#8221; She indicated to the sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You know they are staring at your ass too?&#8221; Emily whispered to the men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy was dressed in the same type of shorts, a pair of pink and black checked lace up Vans and a hooded, woolen, fitted, black and pink sweater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stopped abruptly and without warning pressed her lips to Emily&#8217;s. It only lasted about fifteen seconds, but it was far beyond chaste or platonic.<br>&#8220;There,&#8221; She said pulling back from a stunned Emily. &#8220;Now they know neither of us are available,&#8221; She said before continuing to walk to the ward, still holding her girlfriend&#8217;s hand. Leaving behind more than just the two men, shocked yet turned on. Even a few woman watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My brother maybe twenty-six, but he is a little dopey. Thankfully though Ashley makes up for that with her brains.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stopping at the reception desk in the butterfly ward, Kennedy asked which room her sister in-law was in. She thanked the nurse and headed in the direction of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling Emily slow down and her hands getting sweaty, she stopped. &#8220;It&#8217;ll be fine, doll.&#8221; She stroked her girlfriend&#8217;s cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Duane probably won&#8217;t even figure anything out between us, that will be Ashley.&#8221; She looked at Emily with eyes sparkling with amusement. &#8220;I am honestly surprised he figured out how to do it to get her pregnant, let alone anything else. But I think that was probably mostly because of his wife&#8217;s instructions. Get it hard, put it in, no, not there!&#8221; She said the last part in a slightly higher voice. Emily couldn&#8217;t help but giggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;All good?&#8221; Kennedy asked cupping her cheek. Emily nodded. &#8220;That&#8217;s my girl.&#8221; She pecked her cheek and let her hand drop and that hold of Emily&#8217;s again.<br>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second later they were stood outside the correct door and she knocked lightly, not wanting to wake the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Come in,&#8221; A deep mans voice called.<br>Kennedy opened the door and stepped inside to see a very tired, but beautiful woman on a bed, a very intimidating, but handsome looking man on the bed beside her and a baby in her arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kenny!&#8221; The man hurried over from the bed and picked Kennedy up into a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily let go her hand and took a step back. Kennedy noticed this but she couldn&#8217;t do anything at that moment.<br>&#8220;Hiya chicky,&#8221; The girl on the bed called to Kennedy, watching in amusement as the man picked her up.<br>&#8220;We missed you, little sis,&#8221; The man Emily guessed was Duane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy giggled, &#8220;I missed you too, you big idiot and you, Ashley. Couldn&#8217;t wait to see my little niece,&#8221; She said as he put her back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Who is your friend, Kenny?&#8221; The woman on the bed, Ashley asked smiling noticing the smaller girl stood off to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy stepped back from her brother and next to her short girlfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh, hello. Sorry, I didn&#8217;t notice you there,&#8221; Duane said smiling.<br>&#8220;That&#8217;s because your a giant,&#8221; Kennedy teased her brother, who stood at six foot three inches and was very burly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolling his eyes he ignored her and held out his hand, &#8220;Hello, I&#8217;m Duane, Kenny&#8217;s brother and that&#8217;s my wife, Ashley.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hello,&#8221; Emily said shyly and shook his hand. &#8220;I am\u2026&#8221;<br>&#8220;She is Dolly.&#8221; Kennedy interrupted, taking her hand and dragging her over to meet her sister in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They both said &#8216;hello&#8217; to Emily and Duane returned to his wife.<br>&#8220;Such a cute baby,&#8221; Kennedy cooed, looking down at her niece in Ashley&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At least she takes after her mummy and not her other parent,&#8221; She added making her sister laugh. Duane on the other hand took a moment to catch up. &#8220;Hey!&#8221; Kennedy looked to Emily and gave who a look which almost said, &#8216;See what I mean?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s only messing, love.&#8221; Ashley stroked her husband&#8217;s cheek and then turned back to Kennedy and Emily who were stood by the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Want to hold the baby?&#8221; Ashley asked her sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, please.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Okay. Sit in a chair and Duane will pass her to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sit in the chair and hold the baby Kennedy reluctantly let go of Emily&#8217;s hand. But both sit in chairs beside each other.<br>&#8220;She really is a cute little grandma baby,&#8221; Kennedy joked holding the baby as gently as she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That will change when she gets older. I just have to say, you are doing a better job than Duane did. He forgot to cup her head.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started grumbling about not being trained and the three girls all laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She really is cute though. She could be a little baby model. Don&#8217;t you think, doll?&#8221; Kennedy with a large grin and sparkling eyes, held Taylor up slightly for Emily to see.<br>&#8220;For sure. She is gorgeous,&#8221; Her voice was quiet because she was still nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s very quiet, Kenny. How did someone as loud as you make friends with this sweet girl?&#8221; Ashley asked her and then turned to Emily. &#8220;Sorry, it&#8217;s just her friends are normal slightly scary or just plain loud.
