Emily's pov

"Watch" I giggle as five children race straight over to me

"Hey Mom" Lily excitedly smiles as Leo jumps onto her back

"Hey darling. Carson how are you?" I smile, pulling his beanie off of his head to reveal his messy hair

"Aunt Emily" he groans, jumping as high as he can to try reach his beanie from my hand which I am hovering over his head

I look up from Carson to find, Grace and Jamie standing hand in hand, giggling at Carson's frantic jumping

"Are you girls ready for your play date?"

"More than ever" Jamie confidently smiles back at me

"Let's get you boys home, and then Jamie, you can meet Snow" I grin back at her, walking towards the car as the kids follow me

"If the cops come, one of you will need to duck" I laugh as four small children climb into the backseat and Lily jumps into the seat next to me

Ali's pov

Lily, Grace and Jamie have been playing outside with Snow for the last two hours as Emily and I take turns looking after Emerson and spying on them. It is Emily's turn to spy on the girls, carefully watching Grace and Jamie as I rock Emerson in my arms

"Ali, come here" Emily whispers; motioning for me to come over

"Quick" she shouts this time, sitting on top of the windowsill so that she can get a better view of the girls

I place Emerson's head under my chin and support him by placing my hand under his bottom, he is curled into a small ball as he makes bubbles with his mouth; I walk over to the window watching as Emily rotates her hand to tell me to come faster. I look out to find Grace and Jamie standing eye to eye, their stare caught within the others, their smiles wide and their hands intertwined through each other's. Jamie inches her small feet closer to Grace before she pulls their hands down to their sides, placing her lips onto Grace's. The kiss only lasts for a second but I remember from my first kiss with Emily that at a young age a second can feel like a lifetime when your lips are pushing against your crush's.

"We probably shouldn't have watched that. I would have died if my mom saw me kissing you when we were young"

"Your mom saw us kissing the other day and I nearly died" I giggle

"She saw us doing more than kissing, I almost had my hand on your bare a..."

"Moms?" Lily says with confusion, cutting Em's sentence short as she sees us huddled up at the window

"Oh hey Lil"

"What are you doing at the window?" She asks, watching as Emily jumps down from the windowsill

At that moment Grace and Jamie walk into the room, looking around with as much confusion as Lily

Emily's pov

Fuck this is the second time we got caught this week; first my mom caught us when we were just about to rip each others clothes off and now Lily caught us spying on Grace and Jamie

"So Jamie has Grace asked you yet?" Alison asks

"Asked me what?" Jamie asks, startled as she looks over to Grace who is now blushing

Alison's eyes dart over to me and I can tell she knows she stepped her foot in it

"Jamie May Dallas will you be my girlfriend?" Grace anxiously smiles

"Of course" Jamie replies, not looking at anyone besides Grace

Ali's pov

Young love is the cutest thing ever and I don't know whether it is because of my rocky experience with my sexuality but in this moment I am so proud of Grace, my daughter has a girlfriend not because she is joining the "new trend" -as my dad said to me- but because she has found love towards a gorgeous little girl called Jamie May Dallas.

Emily's pov

"I can't believe we have a gay daughter" Alison whisper into my shoulder as she hugs into me

"Why?" I laugh, pulling her closer to me as I rub my thumb against the back of her pyjama t-shirt

"I don't know, I just didn't expect it. I wonder if this is what our parents felt like"

"And how do you feel?"

"I feel proud"

"I highly doubt our parents felt proud when we first came out...well maybe your mom would have"

"My mom?" Alison asks, lifting her head up, to look into my eyes through the darkness of our bedroom

"Yeah, remember the conversation I told you about?"

"When she said she couldn't wish for anyone better to love me than you?"

"Yes that one, she said she wished you could love me back, and you do. I think she would be proud to see you today, with me and our three crazy children by your side"

"What do we do about Grace and Jamie now?" She asks, settling her head back under my chin and placing her hand on my chest between my breasts

"We let them figure this out on their own, we act like mature parents and protectively watch Grace, while silently fangirl over how adorable they are" I pause to kiss Alison's forehead before continuing "I mean did you see them playing footsies under the table at dinner? I wish we could've done cute innocent things like that"

"We still could. If you want to play footsies under a table I could definitely make that happen" Alison laughs while slowly planting kisses across my collarbone

"I never thought I would say this but I'm jealous of my daughter. I'm jealous that she was brave enough to admit her true feelings at such a young age"

"I am jealous and proud" Alison yawns before she falls asleep wrapped up in my arms
