Chapter Four
Emma felt Addisonâs hands on her shoulders and tipped her head back to look at her wife. âHey,â she placed her hands over Addisonâs. âDid the sprout finally go down?â she asked. Addison looked into Emmaâs eyes silently. She leaned over and kissed Emma softly on the lips. âAddy?â
âIâm sorry that I have been such a jerk lately.â
Emma tugged on Addisonâs hand to prompt her to come sit on the sofa. Addison collapsed beside Emma and promptly placed her head in Emmaâs lap. Emma ran her fingers through Addisonâs hair gently and smiled.
âYou havenât been a jerk,â Emma said.
âYeah, I have.â
Emma shook her head. âNo, you just havenât been yourself the last few weeks. Want to talk about it?â
âEveryone still skating?â Addison asked.
âI would imagine so.â
Skating at night on the small pond that sat on the edge of the Bronsonâs property was a Christmas Eve tradition. Tom and Jackson had spent the afternoon setting up barrels for warming fires and checking the lights that Tom had strung. Addison and Emma had spent about half an hour with the family before Vicki had started to fuss. Addison had offered to take care of everything so that Emma could stay. Emma had acquiesced and allowed Addison the privilege of a stinky diaper, a bottle, and putting Vicki down. But, Emma had also opted to follow Addison back to the house. Addison had been a bit surprised by that fact. Emma loved to skate.
âYou donât have to talk about it,â Emma said honestly.
Addison closed her eyes and let Emmaâs touch soothe her. âDo you ever worry about being a mom?â she asked Emma.
âWorry? You mean that I might screw something up?â Emma asked.
âYeah.â
âAll of the time,â Emma said.
âReally?â Addison opened her eyes in surprise.
âYeah, of course. I remember how my hands were shaking the first time I had to dress her,â Emma said.
âReally?â
âYes, really,â Emma giggled. âWhat? You think you have cornered the market on parental angst?â
âNo. Youâre a fantastic mom, Em.â
âMm. So are you,â Emma said truthfully.
âNot lately.â
âThatâs not true, Addy,â Emma said firmly. She jostled Addison off of her lap and pulled herself up.
âWhere are you going?â Addison asked with concern.
Emma moved to the Christmas tree and fumbled through a few packages. She picked one up and made her way back to the sofa. Wordlessly, she handed Addison the package.
âWhatâs this?â Addison asked.
Emma shrugged. âOpen it,â she suggested. Addison hesitated. âGo on,â Emma encouraged her.
Addison set about the task of removing the ribbon and paper. She looked at the box in her hand and then at Emma. Emma nodded toward the box, and Addison lifted the lid. Addison stared at the contents.
âI hope you like it,â Emma said.
âItâs beautiful,â Addison replied as she lifted the bracelet from the box. She looked at Emma with tears in her eyes. Addison turned the bracelet in her hand and noted the inscription. Three beautiful souls gave me my heart. âEmma,â Addison whispered. She ran her fingers over the stones, her motherâs birthstone had been a diamond.
