xxi. farm house visit.
UNITED IN BLOOD
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE !
"I'VE MISSED YOU SO much!" Dina exclaimed as she yanked both Ellie and Danielle into an embrace, the very moment they stepped into the quaint little farm house. Her grip was strong as she held tightly to the pair, refusing to let them go until she was ready.
The two girls struggled against Dina's hold, both trying their best to not manoeuvre themselves around so as to not accidentally collide with the dark-haired girls pregnant belly.
Danielle was quick to pull herself free from the embrace, flashing her friend a smile as she gently How've you been? How's the baby?"
Dina grinned happily at the pair, playfully tapping at her stomach with both of her hands, drumming away a fun little rhythm. "He's good."
"He? You think it's a boy?" Ellie inquired as she stepped further into the front of the house, eyeing the decorative artwork that was upon the walls. From what she noticed, the original artwork that had been on the walls when the two first moved in, was still there.
A derivative, slightly unattractive snort filled the air as Dina laughed at her best friends question. "I know it's a boy, Jesse thinks it'll be a girl though."
"Where is he anyway?"
Danielle followed closely behind Dina as the girl traveled further into her home, leading her two visitors into the living room. "Yeah why isn't he here to greet us? He hates us, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, he can't stand to look at either of you." Dina jokingly replied to the brunette as she shuffled along the wooden floor over to the couch. She sat down right after, immediately letting out a sigh of relief as soon as she was no longer standing on her incredibly sore feet. "No, he's out hunting. He should be back soon. Now come, sit down and tell me everything I've missed."
Ellie just shrugged her shoulders while she moved to sit on the opposite couch from Dina. "Nothing has really changed in Jackson, to be honest."
"Yeah, unless you consider Tommy moving out of his and Maria's home a big change." The Linden girl pointed out before internally cursing her for spilling someone else's personal business.
"No fucking way!" Shock had embedded itself into the features of Dina's face as she sat up slightly, her body clearly showing how surprised she was to hear of Tommy and Maria's break. "That's sad. I thought they would last forever."
Danielle weakly smiled. "I'm sure it's not forever."
The sound of hinges creaking filled the air before any of the girls could say another word as all of their heads turned to glance in the direction of the front door.
"Hey guys!" Jesse called out as he entered the house, shedding himself of his coat that was then hung up on the coatrack by sat by the front door. The raven-haired man stepped into the living room, arms wide as he gestured to the home around him. "Welcome to our humble abode."
"Jesse." Ellie greeted her friend with a smile and a nod.
Dina shifted her body on the couch to face her boyfriend, her gaze sharp as she spoke. "Jesse, wasn't there something you wanted to show Ellie?"
Ellie and Danielle gave each other a sly glance, both confused by Dina's sudden and very clear desire to get Ellie out of the room.
"What? N—" Jesse cut himself off, his voice that had been dripping with bafflement, instantly switched as though he suddenly remembered what he had wanted to show Ellie. The two girls weren't stupid. "Oh yeah, yeah. Come on, El. I've got something to show you outside."
The redhead shot her housemate a small smile as she stood from the couch, sidestepping past the brunette before following Jesse outside the home. The wooden door slowly closed over, thought Dina chose to remain silent until the sound of Ellie and Jesse's footsteps faded away into nothingness.
"So." Dina was so transparent.
Danielle knew exactly what the dark-haired girl wanted to talk about. It was all Dina ever wanted to talk about and it was honestly starting to become exhausting. "So?"
Dina aggressively groaned in frustration at how stubborn her friend was being. Why couldn't the Linden girl just listen to her? "It's been months, Dani. Please tell me you've told Ellie how you feel."
Her eyes grew wild as her violently glanced around herself for any sight of the auburn-haired girl. "Oh my god, can you shut the fuck up?" Danielle couldn't believe how openly Dina would chat about her love life or lack thereof.
"I can't believe you haven't told her yet. I'm telling you, she wants you." Dina was growing more and more annoyed by the brunette, who just refused to take her advice to heart.
"You don't know that, Dina." Danielle lowly muttered while her head fell and her attention became captured by her fidgeting hands that lay in her lap.
"Don't I?"
The brunettes gaze lifted to look over at her friend, scanning the girl who had reclined back into the couch cushions. "Yeah, you said that last time we spoke as well but you didn't explain what you meant then either."
Dina was very quickly becoming frustrated with the brunette. "It means, dumbass, that I know more than either of you and I know that you both are desperately for some lady loving."
"Please don't call it that." Danielle cringed at the words that fell so easily from Dina's lips, her entire body tightening as a reaction. "Can we please talk about something else?"
The way in which Dina spoke so casually about something that Danielle found impossible to even breach the topic of, terrified her. Dina was so brazen, so unapologetically herself and while the brunette admired her for that, she also couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She loved Dina, who wouldn't, but she also wished that she had even half as much bravery as the dark haired girl had. Maybe if she had, Ellie would have known about her feelings long ago.
Sensing the discomfort that the Linden girl was clearly feeling, Dina let out a heavy sigh, lightly rubbing at her protruding stomach. "You wanna chat about how you're gonna help me give birth?"
"I don't remember ever agreeing to that." Danielle jokingly replied, though the shake in her voice was still noticed by Dina.
She may have been a doctor but the thought of being at the business end of her friend wasn't exactly a thought she was willing to think about. The older doctors at the stadium, that had a lifetimes worth of experience, had been the ones in charge of aiding in the birthing process as most mothers hadn't trusted the young Danielle with their babies.
"Tough." Dina said with a simple shrug of the shoulders, a sly smirk on her lips as she stared over at the brunette, who seemed flustered at the idea of being present at the birth of Dina's baby.

THE SUN HAD FADED away and had been replaced by the dark night sky as the pair walked through their front door later that evening. Visiting Dina and Jesse, while it had been fun, had also been exhausting for the two girls. A heavily pregnant Dina was not a force to be reckoned with, which both Ellie and Danielle had learned the hard way when they suggested they leave earlier than Dina had expected.
The two girls breathed a sigh of relief as they entered their living room. Danielle swiftly lit a candle, causing a soft and warm glow to fill the room, before she turned on her heel and headed towards the couch following closely behind Ellie. The brunette grabbed up a stray book that she had left sitting around the house while Ellie held one of her many comics.
Their bodies relaxed back into the plush couch cushions as they sat side by side, both just enjoying the comforting silence that surrounded them. Danielle had long since forgotten her novel which now sat closed upon her lap once again as though it was destined to never be read. Ellie had begun to chat animatedly about her love for the 'Savage Starlight' comics series, telling the Linden girl all about how she would randomly find a new issue whenever she went out on patrol.
At some point during Ellie's excitement filled chattering, the pair had somehow become almost entirely pressed up against one another. Ellie now held the comic in her hand, eyes scanning the artistry with admiration as Danielle sat alongside her. The brunette had begun absentmindedly tracing her fingers over the tattoo and the subsequent chemical burn and bite mark that lay beneath.
Her forearm was littered with raised up scar tissue. Scar tissue as a result of a self inflicted chemical burn that Ellie had done to herself to hide the mess of fucked up teeth marks and cysts that had developed as a result of her unfortunate run-in with the infected. The very same bite that proved her immunity.
The very thought of having never met Ellie Williams sent a wave of chest aching sadness through the brunette. Even the idea of the auburn-haired girl not being in her life was an idea she never wanted to come to fruition. It would be like a piece of her was missing.
Ellie had long forgotten the comic which now lay haphazardly upon her lap. Instead the redhead watched on as Danielle almost lovingly caressed her tattoo and the scars it covered.
The feeling of eyes upon her caused Danielle to raise her head, slowly but surely trailing her gaze up to meet the piercing hunter green eyes staring back at her.
The two girls, both so strong yet at that moment completely weak to one another, kept their gazes locked. Neither wanted to look away.
"Ellie." Danielle breathed.
The name slips out of her mouth before she fully know the intention behind it, but almost immediately, something shifted in the auburn-haired girls eyes, and she leaned that little bit closer until their lips brushed together.
Ellie knew exactly what Danielle was asking for. Their relationship had truly developed and blossomed over the past few months, both women able to read the others body language with such ease, an outsider would have thought they had known each other all their lives.
As if she wasn't desperately wishing to press her lips against Danielle's, Ellie lingered back to test the waters. To determine if the feelings she had would be reciprocated. If she let herself go and do what she truly wanted but it backfired, Ellie didn't believe she would be able to handle it. A life of repressed feelings and Danielle by her side was better than a life of rejection. It would be better to have the brunette as a friend then not at all.
She craved nothing more than to be kissed by Danielle, but she couldn't dare risk ruining the friendship that had built between them.
Unaware of Ellie's internal dilemma and with Dina's insistence that Ellie did feel the same, —Danielle, who had become flushed and suddenly very impatient, pushed herself forward to press her lips fully to the rouge tinted lips of Ellie Williams.
It was slow and closed mouth at first, but it still managed to rouse a sweet little sigh from Ellie, as Danielle released a groan from the back of her throat due to Ellie's hands that reached up to cradle Danielle's jaw. The Linden girls nimble fingers gripped and pulled at the fabric that lay loosely up the redheads slender waist.
Despite the fear she had felt only moments ago, Danielle's actions were fuelled solely by her growing desire for the redhead. Ellie, ever the tough girl, kissed the brunette with such a softness that it almost took her breath away.
Although Ellie masqueraded herself around as someone who was always in control, her head had become light and the only thing she knew to do was to keep kissing the girl in front of her. The beautiful Danielle, who Ellie had been sure would only ever see her as a friend.
The feeling of a tongue brushing against her bottom lip caused Danielle's mouth to open up, their tongues then intrinsically danced as the pair got lost in the feel of one another.
An ache began to developed between her legs causing Danielle to shift on the couch, before the brunette threw caution to the wind and swung her leg over Ellie's lap. The redheads hands flew to her waist to help keep her balanced, all the while they mouths never detached.
The air around them grew hot as the brunette moved her hands to the hem of Ellie's shirt, letting her hands travel under the fabric allowing her fingertips to softly graze along the redheads lower back, sending a shiver up Ellie's spine.
One by one, an article of clothing was removed until both girls were bare, their naked flesh exposed to the slight chill that brushed over them. An overwhelming feeling of exhilaration enveloped the pair as they finally, after so many months of pining, allowed their emotions to flow free.
