The two of them had been at work all day and Cordelia texted her girlfriend as she made her way up to her apartment.

Cordelia: Are you home? I'd love to see you.

Misty: You're in luck, I'm home and dying to see you, baby girl.

Cordelia grinned and rounded the corner to see her girlfriend leaned next to her door with a smile on her face. She leaned up and pecked Misty's lips quickly before unlocking her door and pulling the woman inside. Cordelia pulled her through the apartment with her and pushed the woman down on the couch before straddling her and leaning in to kiss her deeply.

Misty was just about to remove Cordelia's top when the woman sat back wide eyed, "What, sweetheart?" Misty's voice was concerned and Cordelia attempted to clear her throat only to panic, "Cordelia, what is it?"

"Peanuts," Was choked out and Misty looked at her strangely for a moment.

"You're allergic ta peanuts?" The woman nodded, "Shit, I ate a Reece's Cup," Cordelia was looking around frantically and Misty had now stood in her own panic, "What d'ya need?" Cordelia pointed a shaking hand to her purse and Misty just dumped the contents on the floor before spotting an epi-pen. Cordelia reached for it but her hand was shaking hard and Misty shook her head, "Where?"

The woman gestured to the outside of her thigh and Misty pressed the pen harshly to the side of her thigh before pushing the blue button on the end of it. She then picked her phone up and held the side of Cordelia's face as she called an ambulance, "I'm so sorry, baby girl. I'm so sorry," Cordelia just shook her head as she could finally breathe somewhat normally again, "Do ya think I could drive ya in instead of waitin' for an ambulance, sweetpea?" Cordelia nodded and Misty relayed the message to the person she was on the phone with before hanging up.

Cordelia stood and was swept off of her feet by her girlfriend before she practically ran out of the apartment.

oooOOooOOooo

Cordelia had had a severe reaction and the hospital insisted on keeping her over night to monitor her. Misty had never left her side and was now sat in one of the chairs in her hospital room still looking worried, "Mist?" She croaked the words out and Misty looked into deep brown eyes, "Come lay down with me, please?"

"No, baby, just get some sleep," Cordelia pouted at her.

"Mist, this wasn't your fault," Misty stood up then and paced the small room while Cordelia watched her.

"It was absolutely my fault, Dee. I never asked if ya were allergic ta anythin'. I shoulda been more careful, peanut allergy is the most common in the US," Cordelia crawled to the end of the bed and grabbed the woman's hand that she was slinging around to emphasize her points. Misty sighed and stopped to look at the woman who was sat on her knees in the bed, "What if I had killed ya?" Cordelia shook her head and pulled the hand in hers.

Misty reluctantly stepped to her and felt the woman wrap her arms around her middle as she looked up at her, "Misty, please don't blame yourself, sweetheart. It's not like I ever told you either," Misty sighed and cupped Cordelia's face, "I'm to blame here. I could have asked before I shoved my tongue down your throat," Misty shook her head and Cordelia pressed her finger to her lips to keep her quiet, "And you didn't kill me. You were so quick and you got everything done perfectly. It's because of you that I'm still here."

"It's because of me that you're in here in the first place," Cordelia sighed and lifted up on her knees to up the woman's face. She leaned forward to kiss her and felt Misty lean back from her.

"What are you doing?" Misty looked sheepish, "You said you brushed your teeth right?"

"Six times," Was whispered out and Cordelia let out a small laugh.

"Then I want to kiss you please," Misty still looked unsure and Cordelia leaned forward and connected their lips. She could feel Misty holding back but grinned nonetheless. The woman hadn't touched her since they'd gotten there. She'd been acting like she would break her if she did, "I love you, sweetheart."

"I love ya too, Dee," Cordelia smiled and pulled her hand insistently, "What?"

"Please lay down with me then," Misty bit her lip unsurely and Cordelia crawled back into the bed and pulled Misty along with her, "Please, baby doll?" Misty finally sighed and slipped into the bed beside her girlfriend, "Thank you, Misty."

Misty just wound her arms tightly around her girlfriend and buried her face into neat blonde hair. She breathed in deeply and felt Cordelia wrap her arms around her waist as well, "Move in with me?" Misty sat back when she finally realized what the woman had said and looked at her funnily, "Move in with me."

"What?" Cordelia smirked at her.

"Your lease is almost up," Misty opened her mouth and Cordelia cut her off, "You left the contract for next year on your counter, sweetheart," Misty bit her lip, "Move in with me."

"Dee, are ya sure?" Cordelia nodded earnestly, "I mean, because livin' with me isn't always a walk in the park. Ask Maddi," Cordelia shook her head and pressed a kiss to the corner of Misty's mouth.

"I don't care. I want you there when I get up in the morning and when we get home in the evenings. I want you there when I go to bed at night. I want you there when I feel awful and I'm binge eating a gallon of ice cream and watching bad reality TV because I have cramps," Misty giggled at that, "I want you at your highest and I want you at your lowest. Misty Day, I love you. Move in with me?"

"I'd love to, sweetpea," Cordelia smiled at the suppressed accent and leaned forward to kiss her passionately, "I'd love to live with you and be there for all of that. I'll love you forever and always, darling. Forever and always."
