Epilogue
SIX YEARS LATER
“Come on Alice, take the picture!”
“Hey…don’t pressure the artist! I’m trying to get you all centered just right. OK…say presents!!!”
Bette, Tina and Mary all three screamed, ‘Presents!!’ at the same time, and Alice took the picture, capturing the happy family in all their glory.
Bette came around the table that had been set up in the back yard, and walked over to Alice to look at the picture she had just taken with the digital camera. As she looked at the picture, her face turned serious for a moment. She looked over at Tina, who looked back at her, wondering what was causing the look of awe on Bette’s face. “Come over here T.”
Tina smiled down at her daughter, and giving her a kiss on the top of her head, she walked over to the two women. She looked at the picture and let out a small gasp. “Oh my God Bette!”
Bette slowly nodded her head. “I know. Amazing isn’t it?”
Alice just stood there beaming. “I told you I was just trying to get it right.”
Bette put her arm around her friend. “You did Alice. You got it just right.” The three women continued to look at the picture of Bette, Tina and little Mary…a picture that was the exact replica of the painting hanging in their livingroom.
Alice reached over patting Tina’s slightly protruding stomach. “Well…at least you didn’t know everything about your destiny. Just goes to show you…whenever you think you have things figured out…destiny gives you a little nudge, just to show you that you have no control whatsoever!!”
Tina and Bette both laughed. “That is so true Alice…and thank God for that!”
Bette pulled Tina to the side for a moment, just to take in her beauty…just to tell her she loved her. And as they stood in their back yard, holding each other, watching their friends play with their daughter, on her third birthday, Bette looked down at her partner. “Thank you Tina. Thank you for making my dreams…our dreams come true. Thank you for giving us our second chance by coming back to me all those years ago…by loving me.”
Tina laid her head on Bette’s shoulder for a moment, feeling so safe and loved. “Your welcome Bette…but remember that all that we have, has just as much to do with you, as it does with me.” Tina lifted her head and looked into Bette’s eyes. “I couldn’t give us a second chance, if you hadn’t asked me for it. It takes both of us. I don’t know if you remember, but back when we were apart, I’d flown into town to talk with you, and to hopefully get some closure. We were at the garden and I had told you that I could only give you friendship. You told me that you would be praying that I would somehow fall in love with you again, and that when that happened, and I thought about the love I felt for you, that there would be no fear…ever. Well Baby, that happened for me about six weeks later, when you came to me in Vancouver…and I haven’t felt a drop of fear since…and that is because of you, and how you love me every moment of every day. It is because of both of us…all the work we put into our relationship…working together in therapy.” Tina took her arm and swung it around in an all encompassing gesture. “This…everything we have is because of us…together.”
“Come on you two love birds…it’s time for cake and ice cream!!!!”
Bette smiled at Tina and sighed. “Ahhh…Alice’s timing always was perfect…it’s good to know some things never change.”

What a great story with such a great ending. Fairy tales do come true and you made this one come true for me. Thank you for your wonderful talent of story telling.

“And they lived happily ever after…” Thank you, Seahurst for taking us on this journey. Sometimes, in the midst of reading, caught up in the moment, I forgot it’s a series with a beginning, middle and end. They came a long way from initial Tina’s desolation and Bette’s uncertainty with Candace. Thank you for a satisfying end.
