She saw that smile, that twinkle in her eyes. Her heart broke over again. If she finds out it will crush her. It was an accident, it was unexpected. Should I tell her? Lena thought looking at Stef across the table.

"Will you pass the salad?" Lena's heart skipped a beat when she heard Stef's voice. She snapped out of her worry and passed the salad bowl down the table. Everyone was giggling about something but Lena hadn't caught it.

"Are you okay love?" Stef asked.

"Yes babe, I'm fine. I'm just tired." She replied with a small smile.

"Lights out in ten guys." Stef said before she closed the door to their room. She walked over to Lena and wrapped her arms around her from behind. "I love you." Stef whispered into Lena's neck. "And I love you." Lena replied. Her whole world was falling apart on the inside. She was terrified when it would actually fall apart in reality.

Lena had the kids walk to school. She was half an hour late now and had been sitting in her car for the past five minutes. I have to go in. I cannot avoid this. But she had not had a chance to think about what happened yesterday. All she could think about was Stef and how she would react. Lena wasn't sure how she felt about it. All she knew was that she didn't want to lose her world, her kids, and her wife.

Walking through the school she could hear the click of her heels echo in the halls and the sound of her heart beat pounding in her ears. After what felt like eternity, she reached the shelter of her office with a sigh of relief.

She had been on the edge of her seat all morning. After each knock on her office door she became less jumpy. While eating her lunch someone knocked on her door. Her heart dropped and her mouth went dry. Before she could manage to say "Come in.", the door opened.

"Hey beautiful." Stef said with a smile, stepping through the door frame. Lena returned the smile as her heart found its rhythm again. Mouth still dry. "Hi, what a wonderful surprise!"

"I figured I would join you for lunch." Stef said leaning over the desk to peck her wife on the cheek."

Their lunch didn't last very long. Lena had already finished but Stef had been called away for work after only eating half the lunch she had brought. The second Stef left there was another knock at the door. "Come in." She said as she collected trash from the surprise lunch date. She heard the door open and saw Monte leaning against the door frame with her arms lightly crossed and a small smile playing across her lips.
