Pov y/n

We decided to split up after the date again because just in case Rose needs to be picked up from her sleepover for whatever reason, it would be unfitting if I was around.

Besides, Scarlett wanted to tell Rose about us and we settled on Scar telling her alone.

So, she drove me back to my apartment after our date. We may have had a small make out session in the car before I got out.

The evening and night was a full success and the only thought in my head, while I fell asleep last night was, how lucky I am to call Scarlett my girlfriend now.

I wake up with a fuzzy feeling inside my stomach and my brain needs a few more seconds until it remember that I am now in a relationship with the most wonderful woman on earth.

A wide smile forms on my lips and I stare at my ceiling for a few minutes, recollecting the memories of last night's events. Pure happiness fills my body at the memory and with that energy, I get up to make breakfast and get ready for today.

After breakfast I check my phone, to see that Scarlett texted me that she will talk to Rose now and I feel excitement and nervousness building up inside me.

I know that Rose has not really any huge power over what Scarlett and I feel for each other but I also know, that if Rose really dislikes this new connection, Scarlett and I have to rethink the decision.

My nerves make me pace around my apartment a little until I decide that it won't help me to think about it all the time, it'll just make it worse. Maybe I can go for a swim, the training will distract me.

Packing a bag doesn't take long and a few minutes later, I'm on my way to the public pool.

I change into my swimsuit and dive into the water. It feels nice to swim again. Over the last few weeks I didn't quite found the time to do so, except for when I was diving at the aquarium but that's different.

I swim the pool up and down, letting my thoughts float away on the water and the only thing I concentrate on is the way I move and to not swim into anyone or anything. Water makes me feel so free and weightless, as if I'm floating, it's just great.

After I don't know how many rounds, I have enough and get out of the pool. I take a quick shower afterwards and decide to let my hair air-dry.

The sun is obviously higher now and it's gotten nicely warm. My phone vibrates and I pull it out, a smile tugging on my lips as I see that it's a call from Scarlett. I take it and start to walk back to my apartment.

"Hey, how did it go?" I ask and chew on my lip, now worried Rose might not be so happy about it.

"Hey. It went great, that's why I'm calling, actually." Scarlett informs me and I let out a relieved breath and release my lip.

"Rose is really excited about this and has a few questions, that she wanted to ask the both of us. She also wanted to get a muffin and hot chocolate, so I was wondering if you'd be up for meeting us at a coffeeshop?" She asks and I smile at the question.

"Yes, I would love that. I'm currently on my way home from the public pool. Where and when would you like to meet?" I ask and look out for cars before crossing the street.

I hear a bit of whispering on the other end of the line and chuckle when I hear Rose's voice. It's muffled and I can't understand her but I can tell she is happy.

"Rose wants to go to this shop that sells 'fancy cupcakes with sprinkles'. It's over here in Manhattan, so a bit of a way for you..." Scar tells me and by the sound of her voice I can tell that she is quietly asking if I am okay with that.

"Okay, sure. It might just take a while to get there but if you send me the address, I will look it up." I offer and hear Rose cheering in the background, assuming Scar gave her a confirming nod.

"Alright, I'll send it to you and you just tell me when it would fit for you to be there."

"That I can do. See you later." I say with a smile and after she said her goodbye, I put my phone away.

It's only now that I realize that I'm smiling like a crazy person because of meeting my girlfriend and her daughter today. It feels so weird to call her my girlfriend but the good kind.

My steps quicken, so I am home sooner and can search for the route.

I put my stuff away at home and comb my hair to not look like I just got out of bed.

Scarlett sent me the address and I look it up and find a quick connection and make my way outside and to the subway station.

As I'm sitting in it, I text Scar that I'm on my way and when I'm probably arrive and where. She answers fast and tells me she and Rose will come to pick me up at the Subway station.

My heart jumps a little at her cute text and I happily look out the window, today seems to be really great.

A while and some switching subways later, I arrive at my destination and at first I don't see Scarlett and Rose but as a blonde girl comes running towards her, I detect her mother as well and smile before I catch Rose and she gives me a big hug.

"Hey there, little dolphin." I greet her and she pulls away and smiles happily at me.

"Hey, big dolphin." She greets back, her eyes sparkling at the name.

Rose takes my hand and leads me to Scarlett who is a few feet behind her, wearing a cap and sunglasses.

Now I know why she does it but it doesn't keep her from smiling at me and pulling me in a hug as well. I hug her back and enjoy the embrace, my body starting to fill with happiness and contentment.

We greet each other and she leads us back upstairs and onto the streets. Rose looks at all the people passing by and seems a little intimidated by the amount of people. So, I hold out my hand for her, offering her comfort if she needs it. Shooting me a thankful smile, Rose takes my hand and I smile.

I watch as Rose reaches out her hand for her mother as well and Scarlett smiles widely when she looks down at Rose and sees that we are already holding hands. Her eyes sparkle at the sight and just seeing her like this makes me incredibly happy.

We walk down the street and around a corner and soon enter the cupcake shop.

It's really pink and glittery and wouldn't be my first choice as a nice place but Rose seems to enjoy it, so I don't mind. Rose looks at all the different cupcakes that are displayed and almost presses her face into the glass display.

Scarlett and I chuckle at that before I turn my attention to the board above the counter to see what they offer.

I decide on a coffee with sugar and whipped cream, while Scarlett orders her usual coffee and for some reason it makes me smile that I knew her order before she could say it.

We both order a simple muffin while Rose decides on a cupcake with chocolate frosting and colorful sprinkles. Scarlett pays for us and Rose and I look for a table to sit at.

Rose scrambles to sit on the bench and I chuckle and take the chair. Scar also decides on a chair, so we're sitting in a circle, well a triangle but you get the idea.

"You didn't have to pay for me, you know?" I whisper to Scar after leaning a little closer to her. She searches my eyes for something, her expression soft.

"You want to pay for your order yourself?" She asks, not the slightest bit of judgement in her voice and I am relieved she doesn't seem offended and nod.

"That's absolutely okay." She emphasizes and gives me a smile.

I return that smile and get my wallet out and hand her the money for my order. She takes it and puts it in hers before cupping my face with one hand and giving me a peck on the lips.

Her eyes are soft and my heart flutters at the gesture. Scar takes off the cap and puts it to the sunglasses on the table. I feel Rose's eyes on us, her attention now shifted away from her cupcake.

"I heard you have questions, sweetie?" I ask her, my voice soft so she knows it's nothing bad. Rose nods and looks from her mom to me, thinking about her question.

"You are Mommy's girlfriend now?" She starts off and I nod in agreement and watch Rose grin in excitement, which makes my heart grow soft.

"What does that mean, exactly? Like are you now like my Dad and his girlfriend?" She asks and I think about her question.

I look over at Scarlett, a little unsure on how to answer that. Scarlett gives me a small nod, telling me she'll cover that question.

"That means that we like each other very much and want to be together. And yes, it is kinda like your Dad and his girlfriend but every relationship is different, so there will be differences." Scarlett explains and I am kinda impressed how well she handled that question because I wouldn't have known what to say. Rose nods and taps her chin in thought.

"Does that mean, you will move in?" Rose asks me and her eyes light up in excitement, making my heart melt at that. I smile a little at the question.

"That is something your Mom and I haven't talked about yet but for now, I will stay in my apartment. The relationship is very new and we first have to see how everything works before we make such great decisions, you know?" I try to explain to Rose and she purses her lips in thought. I glance over to Scarlett who nods at me to tell me that she supports my words.

"Will you kiss now?" Rose asks and for a second I'm a little startled at that question, not expecting it but when I hear Scarlett chuckle, I grin a little.

"That might happen, yes. But if you are uncomfortable with it, you can always tell us and we will stop." She makes sure Rose knows but Rose doesn't seem to be bothered as she shakes her head with a happy expression.

Sometimes I feel like Rose secretly ships us more than we know.

"Any other question, little dolphin?" I ask her and take a sip from my coffee. Rose thinks about it and slowly nods, taking a minute to form the question in her head.

"What does it mean that you are now girlfriends? Like is it different than Dad and his girlfriend?" Rose asks curiously.

I take another sip from my coffee as I think about it, I mean it was kinda expected that Rose would ask this kind of question.

Scarlett seems a little overwhelmed by the question and I realize we never talked about how she views her sexuality after that one night a few weeks back. I take her hand from under the table and give it a small squeeze to tell her that it's okay.

"No, it isn't different, at least not in the way we like each other. The only difference is that we are both women but that doesn't change anything about how we feel towards each other. Women can like men but also other women and it's both okay and normal." I explain and look at Scarlett who nods, seeming a bit more relaxed now and I am glad to see that she agrees with me telling her daughter about this.

Rose thinks about my words and I give her the time she needs to process.

It can be a lot for a six-year-old and I don't want to rush her in any way.

I take my muffin and take a bite and hum, this is amazing. It's not too sweet and super fluffy and delicious.

Scar eyes me and chuckles at me reaction before taking a bite herself. By the expression on her face I can tell that she likes it as well.

When Rose speaks up again, we both divert our attention to the girl in front of us.

"So, that means it is normal when a boy likes a girl and when a girl likes a girl?" She asks to make sure she understood it right. Both, Scarlett and I nod in agreement.

"What about a boy who likes a boy? Is that normal as well?" Rose asks further and again, she gets a nod from the both of us.

"That's cool." Rose decides and I chuckle at her expression.

"Yes, it is." I agree and Rose seems to think about it for a few more seconds before she nods.

"I have one last question." She says hesitantly and I give her a reassuring smile and nod.

"Will anything change between me and you? I mean because you're my Mommy's girlfriend now and my Dad's doesn't want to play with me and stuff." Rose mumbles and plays with her fingers, looking down at them. My heart breaks a little at her sad face and I frown.

"No, sweetie. Nothing between us will change. I still love you very much and will play and draw with you whenever I can." I assure Rose and she looks up at me, her eyes showing hope and I get up sit down next to her to hug her.

She accepts it and climbs on my lap before wrapping her arms around my neck. I wrap mine around her back and hold her close, my hands stroking up and down her back.

From the corner of my eye, I can see Scarlett taking a picture of us but I don't mind at all.

I turn my head and press a few soft kisses onto her hair and when Rose pulls away, she smiles widely at me before kissing my cheek.

"I love you." She mumbles a little shyly and my heart completely melts.

"I love you too, Rosie." I reply, making her grin at me.

She seems satisfied with my answer and settles in my lap before turning around to face her cupcake.

"Am I now you're seat?" I ask and poke her side, making her giggle and squirm a little.

"Yes, you are." She agrees with a laugh and I shake my head with a chuckle and wrap my arms around her body to keep her from sliding down my lap.

Rose takes her cupcake and starts to eat it. I look over to Scarlett, who's eyes sparkle with adoration at our interaction. Her expression is soft and her eyes show pure love.

"Would you pass me my muffin?" I ask her, pulling her out of her gaze and she smiles at me before handing me my muffin. I smile at her in thanks and carefully eat it, to not get crumps on Rose.

Scarlett continues to eat hers as well and we just sit together and enjoy our food and the time together like a little family and my heart makes a jump at that thought.

A/n: I thought it was really important to include this little talk.

Hope you liked it :D

Thanks for reading and love to you all
