Click hereStill... She ached, remembering the look of joy and relief on Kathryn's face this morning in the courtroom. She'd wanted to talk to her afterwards, but once the judge had denied the custody petition, it turned out she hadn't been ready to face her.
She went into the tiny kitchen in the back. "Hey Julio, hanging in there, mijo?" she asked her cook.
"Busy night, hermana" he said, sweating over the grill. "Whatcha got?"
She set her order slips in the clip above the food window. "Table six, chicken nachos, fried cheese and two dozen wings, extra hot. Couple on the bar top, two bacon burgers, both medium with the works and fries."
"You're killing me, Megs," he said good-naturedly, as he set two cheesesteaks, the plates piled high with fries, in the window for her to take.
She went back out of the kitchen, delivering the sandwiches to one of the tables, then checked her customers along the bar top again. Everyone was okay on drinks, so she bent over the sink and started washing dirty glasses trying to catch up on her side work. She sensed someone approach the bar across from her.
"What can I get you?" she asked, without looking up from the sink.
"A second chance," she heard a voice say.
She jerked her head up to find Kathryn standing across the bar from her, biting her lip, with a pensive look on her face.
"Kat," Megan said, stunned. "What are you doing here?"
"Megan, I'm so sorry. I need to... I have to apologize."
Megan stared at her, her face turning hard as she remembered Kathryn's words to her.
"I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose Cait. I thought..."
"Kat..." Megan said, sighing and looking away. "Maybe we should just cut our losses."
"No Megan, no, please..." A tear ran down her cheek. "I'm sorry, I was wrong to push you away."
Megan leaned forward and kept her voice down, checking to see if any nearby customers were eavesdropping. "Kat, you're clearly not ready to accept who you are yet. If you were, your first thought when this shit went down wouldn't have been to throw me away as if I was a liability to you. I wanted us to be a family. I wanted to fight for you. You just saw me as the lesbian that Amanda could use against you."
"You're right, I did. And I was wrong! I did because I was scared, but I've never been more wrong in my life. I wanted us to be a family too, I still want that! Please, give me another chance!"
Megan didn't say anything, she just leaned down and started washing glasses again.
"Why would you do all that work on my case and get MJ to come represent me if you didn't want to be with us?" Kathryn asked.
"Because I love Caitlyn and I didn't want her to lose her mom!" she said in a hard voice, "The fact you'd even ask me that..." She looked up and said, "How do I know next time you get embarrassed that you're with a girl you won't ditch me again, huh?"
"What do you need, Megan? How can I show you how much I want us to be together? How much you mean to me?"
"Nothing comes immediately to mind," Megan said, folding her arms and looking away. "Hang on, I have to help these guys."
She went down to the end of the bar where a couple had just sat down. They ordered a pitcher of beer. Megan pulled two glasses out of the freezer and set them on the bar then started filling a pitcher from the tap, her mind racing. What did I need from Kat? Was there anything that can fix—
"Hey!"
Megan jumped, almost dropping the pitcher, as Kathryn's shout rang out through the bar. She spun her head to see Kathryn standing on top of the bar, looking down at her.
"Everyone shut up!" she yelled again. The crowded bar fell silent except for the music of the sound system. Dozens of pairs of eyes were on Kathryn as she stood over everyone. Julio came through the door from the kitchen and opened his mouth to yell at Kathryn, but Megan caught his eye and shook her head.
"Kat, what the hell?" she hissed.
"I want everyone to hear this!" She looked around the room as she pointed at Megan. "See that woman there? I love her! I may have screwed up one of the best things that's ever come along in my life, but I just want you all to know, everyone here, that I love her! She's smart, she's beautiful, she's sexy, she's funny, and she loves my little girl like she was her own! She's as good a mom to my daughter as I am, and Cait thinks the world of her, and she asks me every day when her Mom-Megs is coming back and all I can tell her is that I hope it's soon!" Tears had started running down her cheeks as she turned back to Megan. "Megan, I love you, and I don't care who knows it. I want everyone to know it. As long as you know it too."
"Kat, I—Shit!" she exclaimed, as the pitcher she'd been filling overflowed, covering her hand with beer foam. She shut off the tap, shaking her dripping hand off while she reached for a bar towel. She wiped her fingers as she walked towards Kathryn. "I don't... I don't know what to say." She was acutely conscious that everyone in the room was looking at her.
"I don't care, Megs. You don't owe me anything. I just needed to say it. I needed you to hear it. I needed to tell you that I was wrong and I'm sorry. And that I love you."
Nobody in the bar moved. Megan looked up at Kathryn for what seemed like an eternity. Then she dropped the towel, put her foot on the edge of the ice bin, jumped up onto the bar and crushed Kathryn in an embrace as the bar exploded into hoots and cheers.
Kathryn, buried her face in Megan's hair and whispered in her ear, "Megs... I still can't tell you if I'm one hundred percent heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual or what, but I know one thing for certain."
"What's that Kitty-Kat?"
Kathryn pulled away just enough that she could look Megan in the eyes. "I'm a hundred percent Megan-sexual."
Megan laughed, and then kissed her.
"Hey, Megs!" Eddie yelled at her as the crowd started to settle down.
"What?" Megan turned her head toward him without letting go of Kathryn.
He pointed down at Megan's canvas high tops on the bar, trying to hold back a laugh. "Use a coaster for Chrissake. How many times do we have to tell you?"
~~ Epilogue - Potomac, Virginia, May ~~
They couldn't have asked for nicer weather. It was a sunny and warm spring afternoon, with the lightest breeze blowing, the wind ruffling Megan's shaggy hair as it blew through the nature preserve that overlooked the Potomac River.
"I still can't believe how beautiful you look," Megan whispered, out of the corner of her mouth.
"Focus, Megs," Kathryn whispered back nervously.
Their officiant smiled at both of them before continuing to read from the small book she held.
"A family is a work of art, built by two artists working together with a common vision. Megan, Kathryn, you have brought the pieces of your work of art that is to be your family together, and today you are joining those pieces with the bonds of love."
Kathryn sniffed, and dabbed at her eye with the silk handkerchief she was holding in her free hand, clutching a small bouquet of red tulips in her other. Her long, white silk dress shone in the sun. Megan, resplendent in a matching dress and holding a matching bouquet, smiled at her. Caitlyn stood between them holding a single red tulip, in a pretty white lace dress of her own, complete with pink silk ribbons in her hair and gleaming white patent leather shoes.
"Do you, Kathryn Alice Hayden, take Megan Renée Winerock to be your wife, to love, cherish and support, so long as you both shall live?" the officiant asked.
"I do," Kathryn said, the slightest quiver in her voice.
"And do you, Megan Renée Winerock, take Kathryn Alice Hayden to be your wife, to love, cherish and support, so long as you both shall live?"
"You bet I do, Kitty-Kat!" Megan said with enthusiasm, bringing a soft chorus of laughter from the crowd of friends and family looking on.
"And do you, Megan Renée Winerock, take Caitlyn Alice Hayden, to be your daughter, to love, cherish and support, as though born of your body, so long as you both shall live?"
Megan looked down at Caitlyn and they beamed at each other. "I do, for the rest of my life Pumpkin." She'd signed the adoption papers earlier that morning with Steve's blessing.
"And do you, Caitlyn Alice Hayden, accept Megan Renée Winerock to be your mother, to love and cherish her always?"
"She's my Mom-Megs!" Caitlyn exclaimed, to more laughter.
"Then by the powers vested in me by the state of Virginia, I declare you lawful spouses, and family. Ladies and gentlemen, may I be the first to present, Mrs. Kathryn Hayden, Mrs. Megan Winerock and their daughter, Caitlyn Hayden!"
The onlookers erupted into applause and cheers as Megan stepped forward to kiss Kathryn, then leaned over to scoop up Caitlyn in her arms so the three could share a hug.
"I'll love you always, Megs," Kathryn said, through tears.
"Back atcha, Kitty-Kat," Megan said, then leaned forward to kiss her bride again.
Caitlyn giggled, then chanted, "Mommy and Mom-Megs sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
The End
Here endeth this story of Cait, Kat and Megs. Thank you for reading, friend. This might be my favorite thing I've ever written, and I hope you had half as much fun reading it as I did while writing it.
If you are hungering for more of Kat and Megs, and you haven't read my series Wheels In Motion, there's a lot of juicy flavor of these characters I've left for you there, so go check it out if you are hankering for another glimpse of their little family.
Kathryn and Caitlyn's cram-berry relish
1 bag of cranberries
1 large apple
1 large orange
1 cup of sugar
1 small box of raspberry Jell-O
Quarter and seed the apple and orange. Finely chop the apple, orange and cranberries in a food processor (with the peels!)
Thoroughly mix the sugar into the fruit in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight (Kat was running behind.)
Mix the Jell-O powder with one (1) cup of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Thoroughly mix liquid Jell-O into the fruit. Re-cover, and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
Enjoy! Shout out to my grandma for the recipe!

New comer working through your literary verse. Off to finish wheels now, been a fun read Jo/Blue; Liz/Addison and now Kat/Megan. Look forward to your next story to love, laugh, and cry with. Thank-you
Yep. Just doing my periodic check in, and can confirm this is still a beautiful story. I love a nice courtroom evisceration of an antagonist. Thanks, BrokenSpokes - hope you’re doing well.
Love this story - one of my favourites to re-read. The courtroom and barroom scenes are such great set pieces, so well executed.
I've just finished rereading Twas... for the third, fourth or fifth time; clearly I like the stories. I can only say that Kat, Megs and Cait are favorite characters in my literary world. I have also read most of your other stories, including, just before I reread these, your most recent short story, for which I posted an anonymous review. I tried to post a review for part 1 earlier but my internet connection didn't let me finish. As I just attempted again, the Captcha thing wouldn't complete.
I’m a complete sap, I love this story. Inject that healthy wholesome stuff directly into my veins.
😏🤔😧😟😤😥😓😟🤨😌😂🤣 Just some of the emotions you have put me through!
This story, this series, YOU are a storytelling magician!
These stories and the owners of the lives you have created for them are simple amazing and I hope you share more of their lives, with us, soon.
I so appreciate you, your talent and your creativity.
Thank you, so much!
I love this story, my third time reading it and I still truly love how it makes me feel!
You write so well!
Thank you so much!
5 stars plus🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is the third time reading this story. I recently re-read hard landing for the third time. It’s great therapy when the world around me is on fire. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read this story . I just love it !!thank you again ..
This was the first story of yours I read. It was so up and down with emotions, something I have learned is so very much your way as author. All of your stories are very well done. In your bio you recommend reading Twas the Night before Christmas #1 then Wheels in Motion #1 - 3, then Twas the Night before Christmas #2. That does not fit in the timeline as Cait is 5 years old in this one, and 12 years old in Wheels. Thank you for sharing with us, 5*. To anyone that has not read your other stories do yourself a huge favor and check them out.
I LOVED the first part of this story, and I adore the 2nd part just as much! You would have a loyal following just keeping this series alive. What a wonderful couple. Anyone in real life would be LUCKY to have a character like Megan in their lives. Thank you SO much for this! 🥹❤️
Oh my word, I absolutely adore this story. The only downside I have, is that it was coming to an end. I loved the characters and their loved for each other & of course, the gorgeous family they've become 🥰. It would be amazing if you decided to write more on Kathryn and Megs.
5 stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My wife and just read these two chapters for the umpteenth tome, and they both just get better. Like fine wine.
This is one of my favorite stories!
Nice characters and good storyline!
Thank you!
I love all our stories, all are so well done. This one was the first story of yours that I read, it was special and still is. Thank you 5*
a wonderful story about love and warmth, I really like this story, you have a wonderful way of writing the different characters
OMG I just realized that in Wheels in Motion, when the face time flour fight happens, they were making pizza! Megs actually learned the homemade pizza dough recipe! That makes me so happy
Just discovered you and this story. Such a joy to read. . . And I’m so glad there are more stories from you. I’m going to devour all of them. Thank you for the gifts of your time and your craft.
BrokenSpokes your ability to make the reader feel the emotions your characters are feeling is priceless. Be it anger, pain, despair, joy, happiness, hope, or most importantly love, the emotions shine through. It is a rare author who can do these as well as you. Trying to pick a favorite story of yours is hard, they all are so well done and emotional. I think I will just leave it at my favorite is the story I am currently reading. Possibly your best story from a most moving point is one you said is set in BGU but does not fit into the story line of any of them. I think The Withdrawal does fit into both Hard Landing and Wheels in Motion. I urge anyone that has not read those 3 stories to do so. ( read Hard Landing, Wheels in Motion, then The Withdrawal in that order. But have a box of kleenex handy.) 5* eagerly awaiting your next story.
Read this again during my time off before the holidays, and it is still amazing. I cannot stop smiling during the courtroom scene. After all these times of reading it I still get misty eyed at the end. BTW if anyone needs a fantastic cranberry relish try Broken's. We made it for Thanksgiving it was amazing.
So glad I'm re-reading your work it is beautiful. It lost none of its wonder or potency. Thank the goddess for great writers.
Came back for my annual reading of this story. The world needs more Kat, Megan, Caitlyn and you. Thank you for your writing. Your kind humanity always shines through.
Megan was so patient, Caitlyn will likely never know how close she was to losing a parent.
This was just beautiful…I loved it, I can’t WAIT to read Wheels in Motion and the rest of your stories! You’ve just earned a new subscriber!
Me: goddammit, can Kat just win the lottery or something to get rid of Amanda?
Broken spokes: objection!!
I would like to give more, but 5 is the limit. I would like to congratulate you on an excellent romantic novel. I even got a little misty while i read it. But I am a helpless/hopeless romantic anyway, so what do i know. You took one Gay woman, and one undecided threw them together and made one hell of a romantic story. (Oops, sorry Caitlyn) One which I am going to read again.
I love your style of writing, you wrote from the hearts of your characters,m expressing their hope’s, fears, an expectations in such a way I was hooked. I am going to read some of your other works, and I don’t think I am going to be disappointed. Don’t ever stop.
P. S. Did Kathryn ever realize that Megan was a Gift of Christmas?
Oh my goodness. I haven't read anything that wonderful in such a long time! Well written, emotional, real. Thank you!!
Love, love, love this. Teared up a couple times and a good cry at the end. Those are my benchmarks for a great story and a wonderful writer and you accomplished it with ease. Thank you, so much.
So have read this beautiful awesome heartfilling soultouching gripping fantastic wonderful enchanting love story again and please may you have an extension in the pipeline, in your back mind ....... Im so impressed with this Miss BIG Spokes
I love them all, and I am so glad that these two women got back together; they love and need each other and Caitlin needs her her Mommy AND her Mom-Megs.
This is my favorite book by far from your series. I wanted to ask you if maybe you could do another story of these two. Their chemistry is amazing and I would love to see other stories with them.
Amazing writing. I got home from a long night shift and could not stop reading this (second time btw). I know what is going to happen, I know how it is going to end but I still could not stop reading. Now I have tears in my eyes and I should been I no bed 30 minutes ago. Thank you so much.
Wow! You tell an amazing story! I didn’t even pay attention to the sex, I just couldn’t stop reading the story.
...as it's already been said by others. Another moving story of true love finding Kat and Megs. Apart from the brilliant writing which is abundant throughout the 3 interconnected stories, I love the little touches of humour, such as when Kat climbs on the bar, makes her declaration causing Megs to join her then to be told by Eddie "Use a coaster for Chrissake. How many times do we have to tell you?"
Then there's the eek from Jill in Hard Landing, the zing from Liz in Wheels In Motion and now the Kitty-Kat for Kathryn here. Lovey use of words throughout.
You're definitely an inspiration. Keep up the great writing. 5 stars before so cannot rate again.
great story could not close page till i finished it would have liked more detail at the end of some of the chaps ie "please come alone to next time" would be good to hear that exchange etc, but loved it 5 stars and Fav added and agree with a lot of the posts its a great story i just want more lol
My God.
Well, you've ruined literotica for me. Nothing will compare to this, thanks BrokenSpokes.
But seriously, Thanks.
You are a gift to humanity.
This story is beautiful.
Wow.
you made me cry sad than happy tears, great story, you are an amazing writer
Absolutely extraordinary beautiful ..... Soul fullfillng poetry ..... Caitlyn is the top of it .... Thank you
OMG, What a great story, both parts! Too bad 5* is the top score, as this deserves a 6 or 7, or maybe an 8!
Just another great story. Now on to finish up Wheels in Motion.
Thanks Broken.

I started following this author after Hard Landing, which I could easily see becoming a published novel or even a movie if the author ever decides to submit it for publication (not that I’m a professional or something, but I don’t think it takes a genius to comprehend how good it is). This one felt a little cheesy to me, maybe because it’s shorter than Hard Landing, maybe just because it’s very mushy and I have a hard time with mushy. Nonetheless, I truly believe this author could become a bestseller - I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me it was a bestselling author noodling around online for fun.
I find it really hard to find well written lesbian fiction. I’m so glad I found this story! Reading through this story was super fun! I loved the characters and I enjoyed the character development. I look forward to reading your other stories too!
it feels good to have a true blue partner standing beside watching your back. TK U MLJ LV NV
A heartwarming and well conceived story of love, family, dedication, and perseverance that transcends conventional and outdated conceptions of what couples and families are comprised of. You brought these characters to life and made them real by having them facing struggles that most of us endure and doing so with grace, dignity, and poise. Well done!
Brilliant. Clear. Heart-wrenching. Loving. I will re-read it several times as the days go by when I am feeling down and want a pick-me-up.
I'm a heterosexual male and I found this story enlightening and delightful; will be reading more of your works.
Thank You 5*
It's so nice to finally know ALL that happened after Christmas. This story bares most of the struggles of lesbian relationship and I learned a lot from it. I enjoyed reading every minute of it.
P. S- Am also very glad to know am not the only one struggling with long division😂
Brokenspokes these two stories are fantastic and read them a few times and still enjoy reading these stories and hope you will write more about these three ladies and await your next stories please keep up the writing stories you are brilliant at writing Brokenspokes thank you. xxx
Enjoyed a lot! Thanks, hope to read a lot of awesome stories from you again!
To write a comment when I have water dripping from my eyes.
5* x 10
Having just finished the two part story I must say it was one of my favourite stories I have ever read on Literotica. How you showed the fragility of Kathryn and her love for her daughter above anything for herself, albeit her love for Meghan was wonderful. I was emotionaly drawn in by this beautiful love story. Meghan's part was brought across as an understanding lesbian and who has lovingly demonstrated her patience in this 3 way relationship with Mum, young 3 year old Caitlyn and herself.
Kathryn's eventual public acknowledgement of her love for Meghan brought tears to my eyes. I am now, very much, looking forward to reading Wheels in Motion and your other works. Well done and thank you Spokes :-)
I hadn't really been expecting a part two to this story, but I am glad you wrote it, and it was wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for the sequel. These are two of my favorite characters, and I'm so happy to be able to read how they went from the Christmas date to the happily married couple they are in your Wheels series. They are likeable characters in a good, well written story. I would love to read more with this couple.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Broken Spokes, you might be happy to know that I’ve been playing the Set List as background music pretty regularly since I came across your writings. Tired of refreshing your page everyday to find your newest story submission, I was delighted to hear two new songs on the Set List this week, which told me there was a new story submission to look forward to.
Unsurprisingly, another excellent piece. Touching, heart warming, just lovely. I cannot wait for the next installment of Wheels in Motion!!
Really sexy but restrained sex scenes, beautiful plot direction and use of a realistic tension in the story that was scary even though we know it would be resolved. But really just a beautiful depiction of love (including love between a mother and child)
