Family bonding:

Bette woke to the smell of coffee, Tina was not in bed. Bette got up and headed for the kitchen. Tina was cooking breakfast, Bette watched her and sighed, she was looking so damn ***** in boxers and a tank top. Bette walked up behind her and put her arms around her. She hugged her and then moved Tinas hair to the side to kiss her neck.

Bette: Good morning T. Tina turned to her and put her arms around Bettes neck and gave her a full mouth, tongue invading kiss. Tina pulled back and looked into Bettes eyes.
Tina: Good morning baby.
Bette: Now thats a good morning kiss.

Maggie was sitting at the dining table reading the paper and having coffee. She watched this exchange between her daughter and her lover, she smiled. She could tell they truly loved each other, and shed never seen Tina so happy.
Tina: Baby go have a seat at the table with mom, Ill bring you your breakfast.
Bette: looking and seeing Maggie, blushed deeply. ***** T, why didnt you tell me she was..
Maggie: Bette its okay, I dont mind, I dont want to make you uncomfortable, just act like a normal loving couple, please. I like seeing Tina in love and happy.
Bette took her coffee and joined Maggie.

Bette: Maggie Im sorry, its just,….I love her so much.
she was watching Tina with so much love, Tina was still cooking not knowing Bette was watching her.
Maggie: Bette its okay, feel free to show affection, Ive always told Tina that.
Bette: laughing. So thats where she gets it, youve raised a wonderful daughter Maggie you should be proud.

Maggie nodded to the living room, where Erin was still sleeping. Now that one, shes going to try me, always the rebel. Tina was never any trouble, she knew what she wanted early. A doctor has been what shes always wanted, she set her goals, and she met them. But Erin, my god, she exhausts me, the energy. Shes opinionated and strong, we know art is her passion, but what else, who knows. Shes a free spirit and I suppose thats my doing, I was the same way at that age, but as you can see, Ive mellowed with age.

Bette: Yes Erin is energy, but good energy, I see the artist in her, she could be very good. The talents there I feel it.

Just as Tina brought out plates of eggs, toast, and bacon to the table, Erin woke and came in.
Erin: *****, you guys its early, why are we up?
Maggie: Erin its eight oclock, its time to start the day.
Bette and Tina were laughing at her.
Erin: Oh man, eight oclock, its to freakin early, its Saturday morning for christs sake.
Tina tousled her hair: You want juice?
Erin: No, coffee please.

Tina: So on the agenda today, Bette and I thought we could go to her gallery and look around, then go to the farm and art market mom wants to see, and then we could go to this club called RAIN tonight. Bettes sister Kit is the DJ there, and tonight is karoke night, if your all good girls today, maybe Ill sing.
Erin: Yeah, sounds fun.
Maggie: Okay Im up for a girls night out, first round on me.
They laughed and enjoyed breakfast.

They were all dressed and ready to go. Tina was in jeans and a t-shirt, Erin in jeans and a t-shirt that said Art Lover.
And even Maggie wore jeans, and a t-shirt. Bette came out dressed in khaki slacks and a white blouse.
Erin: Bette, do you own jeans?
Bette: Yes, why?
Erin: looking at her clothes. You need to relax, chill, is all. Be comfy for a change.
Bette: Im comfy. She was looking slightly pissed.
Erin: Okay, but tonight when we go to the club, Im giving you a make over, if your going to be my sisters groupie, or be hanging with the cool Kennard girls, you got to chill, man.
Tina: kissed Bette. Shes young Bette, you dont have to if you dont want to.
Bette: Okay Erin your on, see if you can come up with something cool for me.
Tina; *****, it will be something alright.

They hit the gallery first. Of course Bette was in her element, and Erin was in awe. In awe of the art and of Bette. Bette had definitely found a fan, Erin listened intently at every word, as Bette described some of the displays. Tina and Maggie went looking on there own, knowing Bette and Erin will be awhile. Finally Bette told Erin it was time to find the others.

Erin: Yeah, I forgot that we dragged them here.
Bette: laughing. You really love it dont you, the art I mean.
Erin: I do yeah. I feel alive around it.
Bette: remembers that feeling. I felt the same way at your age and everyday since until I met your sister. My life feels complete now. I have this gallery, and new art every day, and then I have Tina.
Erin: You love her a lot, dont you?
Bette: Yes, yes I do. Does it bother you she loves another woman?
Erin: Not really, Tina is happy, I can tell, and she loves you. Ive never seen her glow like this, so its okay by me.
But dont ever ***** hurt her or Ill kick your *****!
Bette: laughed. Dont worry Boo, shes my life I wont ***** that up.

They all met up and left the gallery to do some shopping at the farm and art market, there were also a lot of little shops along the way. Tina and Erin went one direction and Bette and Maggie went the other.

Maggie: Bette if you want to go with Tina and Erin, go ahead, Ill be fine.
Bette: No way, Id like to stay with you, if you dont mind? They started going booth to booth truly enjoying each others company.

Meanwhile:
Erin: Look at these boots, they kick *****. They were black, with a cowboy heel, but not as pointy as a cowboy boot. They had brown also and the leather was so soft.
Erin: Bette needs these to wear tonight, when I make her over.
Tina: laughing. Yeah right, Bette Porter in these boots, theyre not Milano Blahniks. Your funny Erin.
Erin: No really, they are rock star boots.
Tina: Do you want a pair?
Erin: Yes, but Im saving my money.
Tina: Try them on , my treat. And well get Bette a pair.

They bought the boots and moved on. They found t-shirts they loved. Tina bought a couple for herself, some for Bette, and of course Erin. They had a blast.

They all met up later at a out door caf, and had ice tea and salads.
Bette: What all did you buy T?
Tina: Its a surprise, youll see when Erin does your makeover.
Erin: Oh yea. She was grinning.
Bette: Okay , Ill do it but no dying my hair.
Erin: Damn, ok well work that out.
They all laughed and headed home.

They had time to rest before getting ready to go out. Erin put on her walkman headphones and crashed on the sofa, Maggie went to her room to rest, and Bette and Tina went to their room for some alone time.

Bette: T, I need to touch you. She pulled Tina close.
Tina: Mmm, kiss me baby, I need to taste you.
Bette took her face in her hands and kissed her slowly and deeply leaving them both breathless.

Tina: Come lay down with me.
Bette: My pleasure.
When they laid fully clothed on top of the bed they started making out like teenagers. Hands under shirts and bras, hands down pants. They kissed and necked. They brought each other to a quiet release without undressing. After buttoning and straightening their clothes, they napped.

Two hours later Maggie was up and walked by Bette and Tinas bedroom, the door was open. She looked in and saw Bette laying on her side with Tina wrapped in her arms. They were spooning. It was such a sweet picture.
Maggie really loved watching Tina in love. Erin came up behind her.

Erin: We better wake them, to start getting ready.
Maggie: Yeah, its time, Ill go in and…….. she didnt have a chance to finish because Erin went by her and jumped in the middle of them in bed.

Erin: Wake up its time for Bettes make over.
Bette: Oh *****, I thought youd forget.
Tina: laughing. She never forgets.
Bette: groaning. Ill go shower and meet you here to begin the transformation.
Erin: rubbing her hands together. This will be so fun.
Maggie and Tina are laughing.
Tina: kissing Bette. Give in babe, she never gives up.
Bette: Stubborn little *****!
Tina: Umm, reminds me of someone else I know.

Tina dressed in jeans, boots and a pink t-shirt. Maggie was in white jeans, and a blue blouse. They waited anxiously for Erin and Bette. They had been instructed no peaking.

Erin came out first dressed in jeans, her new boots, and a white tank top that had a small peace sign in the middle of it, her hair was stylishly tousled and she looked great.

Erin: Okay guys get ready to be blown away. Drum roll please…………….Presenting the new Bette Porter!!!
Ta Duh!!!!

Bette came out blushing slightly. Tina was standing, staring, with her mouth open she couldnt speak or move.

Bette was wearing a pair of jeans that were low on her hips, they were so tight, Tina didnt know how she got them on. She had on the black boots they had got her, the effect made her legs look even longer than usual.

She had on a black leather belt, the buckle was a silver abstract shape. The sleeveless red t-shirt she had on was about an inch from the waist of the jeans, showing her fabulous flat stomach and her toned arms, it was skin tight and looked like it was painted on. Across the front of the shirt in black letters it said ROCK ON!

She had on three silver bracelets and three black ones on one wrist, on the other she wore a inch wide black leather strap. Her hair was great, it was left natural like Tina loved it, loose and curls every where. She held a black leather jacket over her shoulder. She stood with one hand on her hip, she looked directly at Tina with that come over here and ***** me look in her eyes.

Bette: So T, what do you think?
Tina: Be……babe……I….Bette ….you look….. so damn *****. Jesus you cant go out like that.
Bette: Why? She looked at her wickedly.
Tina: Because all the women will be all over you.
Bette laughed, Erin and Maggie were laughing.
Bette: Do I get to be your groupie now? Do I pass the test?
Tina: Yes, baby but, ….God you look …..so ***** amazing…..she kissed her and whispered in her ear. Im so wet right now.
Maggie: I like it Bette, you look hot!
Tina: Mom!
Erin: She does Tina, she looks hot!
Tina: Erin!
Bette: So should we go?
Tina: I have only one question babe, How did you get those jeans on? Bette whispered in her ear.
Bette: I dont have any underwear on.
Tina: *****, you didnt have to tell me that. Its going to be a long night, Ill never make it.
Bette: Lets Rock and Roll people.
Tina grabbed her hand and led her out the door.

Bette: T, dont worry, lets have some fun. Youre the only one for me, now and forever.And besides I’m coming home with you.
