She seems more happy than before, she thought. But she wasn&#8217;t sure why. Duane just saw his happy younger sibling, he was too overwhelmed with the baby and her visit to notice anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let Dolly hold Taylor for a couple of minutes before you go,&#8221; Ashley told Kennedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do you need help?&#8221; Duane offered as Kennedy stood you with baby still in her arms.<br>&#8220;No, I&#8217;m okay,&#8221; She leaned forwards and placed Taylor into Emily&#8217;s arms.<br>&#8220;You are going to be one sexy mummy, doll,&#8221; She whispered into Emily&#8217;s ear, only loud enough for her to hear and then placed a kiss beside the ear. &#8220;I love you, doll. You&#8217;re doing great,&#8221; She whispered and sat back in her own seat next to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They looked to the pair on the bed, who were both staring at her grinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m guessing Dolly&#8217;s real name is Emily, right?&#8221; Ashley asked knowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. How do you know?&#8221; Emily asked back surprised.<br>Ashley&#8217;s eyes flicker from Emily over to Kennedy and back again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are exactly as Kenny described. Every time she speaks to anyone on the phone all she talks about the last couple of months is Emily this, Emily that, oh Emily is so pretty,&#8221; She said trying to sound like Kennedy. &#8220;She knows about\u2026 Now, right?&#8221; She asked Kennedy unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can safely say she definitely knows about me being a man before.&#8221; Kennedy was leaning in her chair closer to Emily and absentmindedly stroking a bare part of her shoulder where her sweater hung off slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her brother and sister in-law looked at them with a smile.<br>&#8220;You two seem close? How does your boyfriend feel about you two&#8217;s friendship?&#8221; Ashley tried to be subtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy smirked &#8220;She hasn&#8217;t got a boyfriend.&#8221; Her and Emily shared a smile. &#8220;Emily is my girlfriend.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh my God!&#8221; Ashley squealed, making Taylor whimper slightly, but Emily quickly soothed her.<br>Duane stood up and smiled gratefully at Emily and thanked her before taking the baby back to Ashley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am happy for you both. You deserve it, little sis.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How come this is the first time we&#8217;re hearing of this? You have been totally in love with this girl since you first started college and you started dating and don&#8217;t even tell us,&#8221; Ashley ranted in a more hushed voice because she was holding her baby again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh, will you look at the time,&#8221; Kennedy said knowing Ashley will be bursting until the next time they talk.<br>&#8220;Me and my pretty little doll should go and let you sleep,&#8221; She said standing up and Emily followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, you can&#8217;t I need more,&#8221; Ashley exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ash, you sleep. We can talk tomorrow when you are out. You are getting out tomorrow, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tonight if everything checks out. But are you in town for long? I need information, we all need to go shopping and I need to get to know your girly, see what she sees in your loud mouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll be around for a while. We need to go shopping anyway, so that would be great.&#8221; Kennedy went over and gave Ashley a loose hug and kissed the baby&#8217;s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duane came around the side of the bed and hugged her. &#8220;I really am happy for you, Kenny. I can tell she makes you happy,&#8221; He whispered before pulling back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then he surprised Emily by giving her a hug too. &#8220;I know you haven&#8217;t been together long, but she really loves you. She tries to act all strong and hard but she is really a softy. Take care of her for me,&#8221; He whispered. &#8220;That&#8217;s enough hugging her, Duane!&#8221; Kennedy told him pulling him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What? I wasn&#8217;t doing anything?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, but you are huge like a bear and she is a tiny dolly.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He looked confused and turned to his wife for translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You scared her, honey.&#8221;<br>He turned again to his sister and frowned. &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. She isn&#8217;t used to you. She will love you too,&#8221; Kennedy reassured him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She isn&#8217;t really used to speaking to men, let alone ones that would scare most wrestlers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I guess,&#8221; He mumbles. &#8220;How about you come to ours for dinner before you go and it will give me a chance to get to know your girly?&#8221; He suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy turned to Emily, &#8220;Is that alright, doll?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. That&#8217;ll be good,&#8221; She answer quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good girl.&#8221; Kennedy got lost in Emily&#8217;s eye and the next thing she knew she just snogging her and cupping her butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A throat clearing made them snap back to the present, but only Emily pulled back embarrassed. Kennedy groaned and then pecked her girlfriend&#8217;s lips once more before pulling back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duane had his back to her, but Ashley was watching with a huge smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That was quite the show. If I hadn&#8217;t just had a baby I would be totally turned on,&#8221; She joked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Have they finished?&#8221; Her husband asked and she hummed a yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good. I love you and all, but I don&#8217;t need to see that,&#8221; He said, although he was smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Alright. We&#8217;ll do that dinner, shopping and stuff. I&#8217;ll go now and we&#8217;ll see you tomorrow. Love you both. Bye,&#8221; Kennedy said waving, then taking Emily&#8217;s hand and leaving the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bye, Kenny, Bye, Emily,&#8221; Both called.<br>&#8220;Bye,&#8221; She called back and they left the hospital and went back to the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Are you okay, doll? You are very quiet?&#8221; Kennedy asked once they were again inside the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They hate me,&#8221; She said lowly.<br>&#8220;No, they don&#8217;t. Why do you think that?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They think I am ignorant because I don&#8217;t talk much.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy giggled, &#8220;They really don&#8217;t. Ashley was the same when she first meet the family and not to mention, Duane. They met at my older sister Angelina&#8217;s wedding. Ashley is one of her husband Phil&#8217;s cousins. She was even shyer than you when she first met us and we all know how that turned out,&#8221; Kennedy told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They honestly love you, I can tell. They see how much I love you and how happy you make me and that makes them happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You sure?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure, doll.&#8221; Kennedy leaned over and kissed her. &#8220;God, doll. I missed holding you. I love you so damn much,&#8221; She said resting her forehead against Emily&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I love you too, Ken. But we were only in there about twenty minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, but that was twenty minutes I couldn&#8217;t hold you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Well, we will be at your parents soon and then what? It will be a lot longer than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you worry about that, doll,&#8221; She answered smirking and moving back to her own seat and belting herself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you say so. So, you speak about me often to everyone?&#8221; Emily asked with her own smile as Kennedy started up the car and drove out of the hospital grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that obvious?&#8221; Kennedy answered not denying it. &#8220;Like I told you before, you are my dream girl and my future wifey.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily hid a blush by looking out of the window, but Kennedy saw it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are my dream girl too,&#8221; She almost whispered. &#8220;I am glad you liked me too. I am so lucky.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am the lucky one, believe me. I never thought I would meet a girl who I felt half this strong for, let alone someone as sweet as innocent as my doll.&#8221; Kennedy, with her eyes still on the road, reached over with one hand and squeezed Emily&#8217;s thigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I just have one question,&#8221; Emily asked slightly more shyly.<br>&#8220;Anything.&#8221;<br>&#8220;When we marry, can we both wear dresses?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy burst out laughing, not expecting that. &#8220;Yes. That&#8217;s what I was planning. I can&#8217;t wait to see you in all that white lace,&#8221; She said, getting turned on at the thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I know. You will look so hot in it princess. Especially when the evening ending and you bend me over whilst we&#8217;re still in our dresses and\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Emily, you need to stop speaking about that or I&#8217;m going to have to stop right here.&#8221; Kennedy warned, turned on, but shocked by Emily&#8217;s sudden forwardness. She heard a zipper. &#8220;Pull over the car,&#8221; Emily&#8217;s voice ordered. She did as she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully in the area there was very little traffic, so no cars were about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy turned her head just in time to see Emily remove her seat beat and climb over and straddle her. Kennedy&#8217;s voice and breath got stuck in her throat as Emily, who had removed her own shorts, but still had her panties on, unbuttoned and pulled out Kennedy&#8217;s cock.<br>Emily gasped, &#8220;It is so hard.&#8221; She pulled her panties to the side and rubbed the head the cock across and over her entrance for a moment. Kennedy was about to ask not to tease her when suddenly Emily plunged the length inside her, making them both moaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stay still for a moment, adjusting to the size and kissing Kennedy&#8217;s neck and up to her mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their lips never left each others, even as Kennedy held Emily&#8217;s hips as she moved up and down on his rock hard manhood and moaned into each others mouths.<br>Their breasts rubbed against each others as they moved, the friction causing a tingling in their nipples. With their tongues buried in each others mouths they soon found release, Emily only seconds after feeling the seed of her lovers flood her womb.<br>They continued to kiss for a minute afterwards, before finally pulling back. Both their lips red from kissing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That was unexpected,&#8221; Kennedy said sated and happy.<br>&#8220;But we will be definitely doing it again,&#8221; She quickly added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry. Just the thought of you in a wedding dress turns me on so much. I can&#8217;t wait for you to be mine forever,&#8221; Emily admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No need to be sorry. I fucking love when you just take me, it is so hot. You can do it whenever you want. Just think of me as your slave who will pleasure you when ever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As for the being yours forever, married or not married that is true. As far as I am concerned you are already mine forever and nothing is ever changing that,&#8221; Kennedy told her honest. Several more kisses later and a few I love yous and Emily climbed back into her own seat and redressed herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If we go wedding dress shopping together I think we will have to make sure we have a few weeks, because I am going to want to take you in every dress,&#8221; Kennedy confessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Or maybe you can go under my dress and suck me?&#8221; She added as tided herself up and did her shorts back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a little sore now,&#8221; Emily admitted when they were back on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, doll. We will be at my parents soon and we can have a bath together. The hot water will sooth you, doll.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t mind me staying, right? I mean I don&#8217;t want to be in the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy smiled to herself, &#8220;Like I said, they will you you and believe me, you won&#8217;t be in the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again her phone interrupted her and again Emily answered it and held it out on speaker phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was her mum asking if she or Emily wanted anything from the store, as they were just getting some extra bits in because the pair was staying.<br>Kennedy told her mum as long as she bought orange juice and chocolate she didn&#8217;t mind. Her mum laughed and told her she already had it in the trolley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She told her mum she would be at the house before her and told her they would be taking a shower when got there because they were sticky from the drive.<br>Her mum didn&#8217;t seem to know that her daughter meant together and reminded her where all the spare towels and stuff is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I know, mum. I have lived with you.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I know, darling. Oh, have you got your key and buzzer still?&#8221; Her mum asked sounding worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, mum. I have everything.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Oh good. Well, I&#8217;ll let you go. We&#8217;ll be back in about twenty to thirty minutes. Oh yeah and we saw Clive, he asked how you were doing at college and when you were expected back next. I told him you were in arriving in town today. He asked me to ask you to call him later.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thanks, mum. I&#8217;ll call him in a bit.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I&#8217;ll let you go now, darling. See you soon.&#8221;<br>&#8220;See you soon, mum,&#8221; She said back before they both hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Who&#8217;s Clive?&#8221;<br>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, doll, he is just one of my friends. Remember, I don&#8217;t like men and you are my only girl.&#8221; She rubbed Emily&#8217;s leg in reassurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Is he one of the scary or loud people that Ashley was talking about?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy chuckled, &#8220;You could say both. But he and all the others are really big softies when you get to know them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I hope so,&#8221; Emily said quietly.<br>&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, doll. No matter how worried or scared you get, I will always be by yourself to protect you.&#8221;<br>&#8220;But you are a girl.&#8221;<br>She chuckled again, &#8220;Yes, I am. I&#8217;m glad you noticed. But I can still protect my little dolly.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But I wouldn&#8217;t want you ever to get hurt because of me. You are my woman too, so that means I should protect you too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy felt her heart skip a beat. She loved how protective she was of her and even more when she called her &#8216;my woman.&#8217; The way she treated Kennedy like she was a normal woman &#8211; apart from the obvious part between her legs. She treated her like it was alright to be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many people did that, especially when she first lived in Grimsby before moving here. Even a few people here were funny with her, at least they were until she became best friends with Clive and the guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Okay, doll. We will protect each other.&#8221; Emily smiled happily and nodded her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I never thought I could love you more than I did.
