“We meant everything we said baby girl” Kit smiled and rubbed my arm. I smiled, looking around the table at my friends, feeling very emotional.

We spent the rest of the night chatting happily. I persuaded Dana to live a little by making a huge and highly unhealthy cheesecake, even I know I would be regretting that over the next few days when I’m trying to get her to come home from the gym.

Bette and Tina were the first to leave as Tina was very tired. She was due to give birth within the next few days and we were all very excited. As she stood at the door to leave Alice crouched down and hugged her bump and said “see you soon little one, don’t take too long I’m too excited!”. We all laughed at her.

“I don’t want it to come too soon Al I’m so not prepared” Tina told us as she chuckled.

The other girls left in groups soon after Bette and Tina left. I went through to the kitchen to start the washing up, filling the sink with water and pulling on my marigolds.

As I hummed to myself and washed up the plates I felt Alice’s arms wrap around my back. “Leave that for the morning baby” I heard her say before kissing my neck lightly.

“I might as well do it now” I told her, receiving a groan from my girlfriend.

“Come to bed” Alice moaned and I turned my head to see her pouting at me. I couldn’t resist those adorable puppy dog eyes. I turned my body to wrap my arms around her and leaned into a slow and lingering kiss. The kiss got heated and I reached my hands up to cup Alice’s face. Suddenly she pulled away with a disgusted face.

“Eew you got me all wet! Take off the gloves!”

“Oops, sorry baby I totally forgot I had them on” I flicked my fingers to spray water in Alice’s face and chuckled, then pulling the gloves off my hands with a snapping sound. Our lips met once again and this time I was able to cup Alice’s face without receiving a disgusted expression.
