Chapter 75

Mary Grace was screaming from the back seat of the car. “Bette…Bette…BETTE – Jake threw up back here. EEEEEEEEEEW – Yuck!”

“Oh man! Jake – yuck! Ok…ok…ok – let me pull over.” Bette pulled the car to the side of the road. She looked at Jake and shook her head.

Jake stared back at her. ‘What did you expect? You fill me with fries and a cheeseburger and then drive me around at the speed of light. Did you really expect me not to throw up? Come on Bette – you’re supposedly intelligent. Anyway – I feel so much better now!’

“Jake…Jake…Jake….you had to throw up on the leather seats huh?” Bette shook her head again.

“Gee Bette – you better get used to this. You DO know that the babies are going to throw up all the time don’t you? Changing diapers – yuck. Cleaning up puke – yuck! Say goodbye to life as you know it Bette.” Mary Grace smiled at Bette.

“You’re really 18 – right?” Bette smiled at Mary Grace. “How do you know so much about babies?”

“I read alot!”

“Oh – I see…what exactly are you reading?”

“Dr. Spock…”

“Really? Me too!”

“I hear you got thrown out of your class on infant care….Is that story true? Were you really playing football with the baby you were supposed to be changing?”

“Yup – I did do that….I’m not proud – but it was fun!”

“You DO know that you can’t do that with a real baby – right?”

“Yes Sweetie – I am very much aware of that!”

“Just checking – you know sometimes I wonder about you….”

“Why am I not surprised to hear that? I have got to remember to call Alice later!”

Bette cleaned up Jake’s mess – with a minimum of gagging – she was proud of herself!!! It was a good thing that she had stocked the car with baby wipes and plastic garbage bags! “Ok – let’s go. The breeder is supposedly just around the corner up here.”

They arrived at the home of the breeder and got out of the car. “Ok – now Jake…Mary Grace…I expect you to be on your best behavior when we go in there – ok?”

Jake stared at Bette – she knew he understood. Mary Grace nodded in agreement.

Once inside – they had six puppies to choose from. Bette was sure she couldn’t pick one – she’d end up with all of them. She turned to Mary Grace and Jake. “Ok – you two need to decide which ONE and I stress ONE, you want.

There was one little black and tan female who stood out in the crowd. She jumped up and down and spun around in circles…she darted in and out of the room…she was THE one! “That one Bette – that one – that one there!” Mary Grace was so excited – she was jumping up and down.

“And Jake? What do you think of that one?” Bette raised her eyebrow at Jake. Jake slowly wandered over to the puppy and looked at her. She looked different than him – but the contrast of her colors compared to his stag red coat was stunning. Her ears went flat. He sniffed her ***** – as if to say ‘where have you been’? Jake stood in his most perfect show stance. He let the puppy sniff him. He looked at her. “Ok puppy – here’s the deal – and I need to know that you understand this before you come home with us…listen up! Number one – see that little kid there – she’s MINE – but you can play with her too – as long as you remember that she’s MINE. Number two – see her – that’s Bette – she’s MINE too – she’s my best friend – you can play with her too – but remember – she’s MINE – ok? Number three – we have a pool – and I have a life jacket and a surf board – remember – they are all MINE. Number four – please use the designated area when relieving yourself – or I’ll get in trouble – because your the puppy and I’m DA MAN – DA MAN always takes the heat. They will assume it is MINE. Number five – just remember that everything is MINE and we’ll get along just fine!” The puppy stared back at Jake – ears back and tail clamped to her little butt.

Mary Grace looked at Jake – then at Bette. “Bette?”

“Yeah Sweetie?”

“Why do dogs sniff each other’s butts?”

“I’m sure I don’t know the answer to that Sweetie…” Bette felt the color drain out of her face as she thought ‘Oh no – here we go again!’

Mary Grace looked at Bette again. She started to giggle. “What if people said hi to each other like that? Sniff! Hey – so where you been buddy? Sniff…sniff. Been anywhere good lately?” Mary Grace broke out into a belly laugh.

Bette began laughing. “Very funny – but gross don’t ya think? Such a sick little mind for an eight year old.”

Mary Grace couldn’t stop laughing.

“Ok – let’s get that image out of your head little one!” Bette grabbed Mary Grace, gave her a hug and hit her on the head playfully. Mary Grace planted a kiss on Bette’s cheek. “I love you Bette!”

“Awww…I love you too Sweetie!” Bette returned Mary Grace’s kiss.

“JAKE – so what do you think?” Bette stared at Jake waiting for an answer. “I swear to god – I’m out of my mind…”

Jake let out single bark of approval.

“Ok – so that’s the one then….” Bette went to talk to the breeder and pay for the puppy.

They made their way back to the car. Jake jumped in. Bette buckled Mary Grace in and placed the puppy in her lap. Bette muttered to herself, “What a rip off – $900.00.- GOD – should have looked for a kitten instead.”

“What did you say Bette?”

“Nothing Sweetie…nothing….”

The ride home went quickly as names for the puppy were discussed. Mary Grace had a list of names ready in her head. “What do you think of Jill, Bette?”

“Jake and Jill…hmmmm….Jake and Jill…no – I don’t think so Sweetie-too cutsie!”

“Ok Leigh….how’s that?”

“No – too human….try again Sweetie!”

“Coco – how about Coco?”

“Nope – too close to the word ‘NO’!”

“Ok – last name Bette. How about Mini? Not Minnie as in mouse…Mini as in smaller than Jake!”

“Mini – hmmmm – Mini. I like it! What do you think Jake?”

Jake barked another single bark of approval. ‘Mini – mini – mini me – yup that’s the one Bette!’

“Mini it is then!” Bette let out a heavy sigh. She remembered how the day ended when she and Tina picked out the names for the babies. There went her mind again – back to the fact that she was still finding it impossible to keep her hands off of Tina. She became totally lost in her thoughts. Suddenly she couldn’t wait to get home to Tina. When her mind finally came back to the present – she looked in the rear view mirror and saw that all of her little passengers had fallen asleep. She smile and kept driving.

Time seemed to fly by as Bette enjoyed the silence – blissful silence!

Bette pulled into the driveway – turned off the car, undid her seat belt and got out of the car.

“Sweetie, wake up – we’re home…” Mary Grace blinked her eyes open. She looked so sleepy and adorable. She reached down by her side and nudged Jake. He woke up too. Bette reached down and picked up the puppy. Mary Grace and Jake got out of the car. Jake had one thing on his mind.

‘Boy do I have to pee!’ Jake ran off to the nearest tree. ‘Thank you doggy gods – I didn’t think I’d make it..’

Bette put Mini down on the grass and she stumbled around but finally squated to pee. “Good girl, Mini!” Bette praised the puppy as she picked her up again.

Once inside the house – Bette, Mary Grace, Jake and Mini were greeted by Jackie and Tina.

Tina looked at Bette and smiled. She noticed that Bette was not looking nearly as frazzled as she expected.

Tina took the puppy from Bette’s arms. “So is this the new addition? She’s very cute.”

Bette looked at Tina and mouthed. “I missed you…”

Tina smiled back at her. “So what’s her name?”

“I named her Mini – as in smaller than Jake!” Mary Grace was very proud of herself.

“That’s a very nice name Sweetie. Did you have fun today?” Tina looked at Bette and grinned.

“Yeah – Bette’s alot of fun!”

Tina smiled at Mary Grace and then at Bette. “Yes, I know she’s alot of fun.” Tina winked at Bette.

Jackie picked up on the unspoken conversation between Bette and Tina. She just notices everything it seems!

“Well – alright then…I’ll take the puppy …and I’ll take Mary Grace home. You two can go do what you NEED TO DO! “Jackie smiled and winked at Bette. “So – I guess I’ll see you two in a couple of hours?”

Bette smiled at Jackie and winked. “A couple of hours – at least – at the very least Mom.”

Jackie left the house with Mary Grace, Mini, and Jake.

Bette grabbed Tina’s hand and lead her to the bedroom. She closed the door and then wrapped her arms around Tina from behind. “I missed you…tell me what you did today.”

“Actually, I took a nap when you were gone. I missed you too Babe.”

“So is it a safe assumption that you’re feeling rested?” Bette nuzzled her face into Tina’s hair.

“I guess you could say that I feel rested Babe. Why?” Tina placed her hands on Bette’s hands. Bette was busy caressing Tina’s belly through her shirt – now Tina’s hands were moving with hers.

Bette moved her hands up to Tina’s *****. Tina’s hands were still moving along with them. “God Tina…I love you so very much…you’re so beautiful.” Bette gently rubbed Tina’s nipples with her thumbs. A moan escaped from Tina’s lips. “Tina….your ***** are so – full and inviting.”

Tina laughed – “FULL AND INVITING huh? Bette – will you still love me when my ***** aren’t so FULL AND INVITING?” Tina closed her eyes and moaned again.

“Yes T, I will still love you when…when they aren’t so FULL AND INVITING. Maybe we should start planning your next pregnancy.”

“Baby – let’s finish this pregnancy and have these two babies first – ok?”

Bette reached down – their hands parting – and grabbed the hem of Tina’s shirt and pulled it off over her head. She tossed it onto a nearby chair. She leaned back slightly and unhooked Tina’s bra. She removed it and tossed it onto the chair. Bette’s hands once again moved to Tina’s *****. She continued to tease Tina – caressing her nipples – pinching them gently. “Are you sure you know how much I adore you T. I need to know that you feel cherished and loved by me.”

Tina turned around and looked into Bette’s eyes. “Of course I know….have I given you reason to believe that I don’t feel cherished and loved by you?” Tina continued to look into Bette’s eyes. She noticed tears in them. “Baby…please tell me what’s going on.”

“I just missed you – that’s all. Can I kiss you? I need to kiss you.” Tina leaned forward and Bette kissed her gently. “I just need you to know how much I adore you…I need to say thank you for letting me love you.” Bette kissed Tina again.

Tina looked into Bette’s eyes again. “I know…I do know. Babe – remember I’m the one who promised to help you relax when you got home today…please let me make love to you….”

“But T…I….” Tina kissed Bette – cutting her off mid sentence. Tina began removing Bette’s clothes. Piece by piece they fell to the floor along with what had been left of Tina’s clothing.

Tina stared into Bette’s eyes. “Such beautiful eyes…I can see how much you love me Baby…I see it…I feel it.”

Tina took Bette’s hand and lead her over to the bed. She snuggled up close to Bette on the bed. She began caressing her hair. She continued to look into Bette’s eyes. She was convinced that she could see deeper into her soul than ever before. She whispered “I love Babe.” Her hand moved down Bette’s face – taking time to touch every inch of her smooth skin. Her fingers moved down her neck…her chest, and then reached her *****. Tina’s hands skillfully teased Bette’s nipples. Bette’s breathing was more labored – her desire increasing with each touch of Tina’s hand. Tina ran her fingers over Bette’s tummy. “You are so beautiful Bette….look at me please.” Bette looked at Tina. Tina moved her hand further down Bette’s body. As she touched Bette’s hip, Bette’s back arched upward in anticipation. She continued to look into Tina’s eyes. Tina leaned in and kissed her. Her hand moved down past Bette’s hips and soon her fingers came to rest between Bette’s legs. Bette’s hips thrust forward in response to Tina’s touch.

“Tina…please….I need to feel you inside me.”

Tina moved her hand slowly. “Spread your legs for me Baby…please.” Bette did exactly as she was asked. As Tina placed one, then two fingers into Bette’s wetness she continued to look into Bette’s eyes. Tina began slowly moving in and out of Bette. Her motions were gentle – tender. Tina continued to look into Bette’s eyes – eyes that were pleading with her. Pleading for her to continue, to love her, to keep making love to her.

Tina carefully studied Bette’s face – her expressions – as she continued to make love to her. Tina knew that Bette was almost there – beads of sweat had formed on her chest. The look on her face was one filled with desire and love. Tina whispered to Bette…”Baby…I want you to relax and let go…please Baby…I want you to ***** for me. Please ***** for me now.” Bette’s ***** was intense and long. Tina noticed that tears were streaming down Bette’s cheeks. She kissed them away. “Are you ok?” Tina was still looking into Bette’s eyes. Bette didn’t answer her. Instead she rolled over and in one swift motion, had Tina on her back.

Bette kissed Tina’s lips and then made her way down Tina’s body. She gently pulled Tina down the bed until her legs were hanging off the side. Bette knealt on the floor and moved so that Tina’s legs were over her shoulders. Bette spead Tina open with her tongue and gently moved her tongue up and down Tina’s wetness before sinking her tongue into her. Tina was ready to ***** – and all it took was Bette’s mouth touching her – her tongue inside her. Tina exploded into an extremely intense ***** – Bette kept her tongue inside her until it was over. And when it was- Bette helped Tina move back up the bed – she cuddled up next to her and held her tight.

Tina whispered to Bette – “I’m never letting go of you – I adore you Bette.”

Bette whispered back to Tina – “Please don’t ever let go – I don’t know what I’d do without you…I don’t ever want to find out. Let’s just stay like this forever….”
