Tina: No”we dont fall into that category. We beat the odds. I need you to stop beating yourself up. We are back together because this, what we share could never be considered the same ***** under any circumstances. Our love is special”so much so we are about to go make another person out of it. Do you hear me? Dont you get it? Lets never mention that again its the past its over”its over.
Bette looked at her watch and realized they had exactly 30 minutes and they were 10 minutes away traffic was cooperating, surprisingly. She sped over to a sparsely occupied parking lot.
Tina: What are you doing well be late.
Bette: No we wont. Tina I love you so much sometimes it literally hurts. Do you have any idea what you do to me, for me?
Bette took Tinas hand and held it over her heart Tina felt Bettes heart pound erratically through her blouse. Then Bette brought a pleasantly surprised Tina into a frantic, passionate kiss.
Tina: I love you too Bette Porter”more than youll ever knowkissmore than youll ever know.
****
Bette: Babe I dont want to ever forget the pain I caused you T. Cause I dont want to make that mistake ever again-ever. I just need you to help me”us to move past it.
Tina: Bette just look at you. Youre so open now, so loving. I see it every day in everything you do.
Bette: Thank you Tina. I do love you more than you can imagine. Your love makes me a better person. Lets go make a baby.
Bette leans in and gives Tina a tender kiss that causes Tina moan.
Tina: (laughing) I ask you time and again not to get me so worked up if you arent able to do anything about it.
Bette: Sorry T but I couldnt kiss you and drive at the same time and believe me. You needed to be kissed.

Dr. Wilson was very happy that Tina and Bette had decided to try again to get pregnant. This visit she just wanted to get Tina started on tracking her ovulation cycle and speak to them about any lingering concerns they may have had. According to the test Tina took at the office she happened to be ovulating now. This was very good news to both Bette and Tina. Dr. Wilsons office offered to make the necessary calls to the cryobank to see if Bette and Tina could pick up Marcus Allenwoods specimen today. Tina and Bette agreed they wanted to try immediately. Dr. Wilson quickly began to see that she was in the way and the ladies needed to leave.

Bette and Tina went to the cryobank together and Bette took Tina back to the Community Center to pick up her car. She decided she had to pick up a few things to make their evening a little more romantic so she promised shed meet Tina at the house within the hour.

When Bette got home Tina had already set everything up. Candles were set up everywhere she had ordered take out and chilled Bettes favorite bottle of wine.
Bette: Oh Tina I wanted to set this up and make this special for you.
Tina: Oh believe me Bette youll have plenty of chances to spoil me over the next nine months.
Bette: I cant spoil you before or after that?
Tina: You spoil me everyday now.
Bette: Are you hungry?
Tina: Actually”I have a confession. I already ate a little. I know my wife all too well. You were undressing me with your eyes at Dr. Wilsons office”even before she said I was ovulating. Just think last year you were all freaked out when she told you I should be aroused for the insemination to work.
Bette: I know. Now when I go there I get a little turned on, does that make me a little–freaky or something?
Tina: No, that doesnt make you freaky baby.
Bette: Good, I was getting a little worried.
Tina: I didnt say you werent freaky”I said that doesnt make you freaky.
Bette starts chasing Tina around and catches her on the sofa and tickles her. Tina laughs and suddenly stops laughing and gets serious.
Tina: Bette we are going to make a baby”thank you for this. I love you for giving me this, thank you.
Bette sits up.
Bette: Tina — no sweetheart this is for us this is child is a part of us. This child is a living, breathing, tangible expression of our love. Besides youre the one who will be carrying this child for us I should be thanking you. Tina”T I have to admit something to you before we go through with this. I would have never asked you to go through this again never, and its not because I dont want a baby with you. Its just T, Im so
Tina: Scared.
Bette: (eyes filling with tears”whispering) Yes
Tina: I was too but Bette I look at you and know I want children with you and the fear no longer has a place. I cant explain it. If you werent scared it would probably bother me but Im not scared. Somewhere deep down I know everything will be okay and I trust that feeling.
Tina held Bette for a while as she ran her fingers through Bettes hair somehow her touch turned from comforting and reassuring to sensual. Bette turned to face Tina and Tina saw desire and longing in Bettes eyes. Bette softly kissed Tinas mouth and her tongue gained entry and Tina found her body completely awaken wanting to be touched everywhere by Bette. Bette broke the kiss and saw the desire in Tinas face she collected the necessary items for the insemination and Tina grabbed the wine. They were in for a long night of love making Bette took Tina to places she never knew existed and she wept tears of complete joy. She never knew she could be that happy. She always knew that if that happiness existed that only Bette could show her. As Bette brought her to perhaps her fourth ***** of the night Tina remembers shouting her name and opening her eyes to make sure she wasnt experiencing an out of body experience”she wasnt. Bette watched and her only reply was Ive got you Tina. There was no doubt that if in fact a child was created on this night he or she was created out of love because Bette loved Tina with a thorough passion. She wanted tonight to be all about Tina but Tina had other plans once she could feel her extremities. She woke Bette in the middle of the night and repaid her and of course Bette was pleasantly surprised and greatly appreciative. The lovers woke up in the morning feeling closer in every way their spirits renewed as well as their bodies.

They decided to head to the Planet and were greeted by their friends.
Shane: Bette thanks so much for the tour yesterday. It gave Megan and I a lot to talk about. We may actually drop in next week to look at the two pieces I liked. She likes them too.
Bette: Good. Where is she?
Shane: Shes working”shes working a lot. Shes hoping youll consider her new stuff for a show -I thought you knew that.
Bette: I do”shes looking at next fall I think. Im glad shes working I know shed stopped for a while.
Alice: Well is it any good?
Shane: I think so.
Alice: No offense but Im asking the art lady”Bette is it any good?
Bette: Actually it is good. Ive only seen her portfolio Im going to her studio next week sometime but from what Ive seen its good.

Just then James and Simone walk in.

Alice: Wow two mornings in a row. That young lady is very attractive. Bette whats her story?
Dana: Yeah Bette whats her story?
Alice: God that was so tacky of me Dana I didnt mean anything by it, really.
Dana: Hey Alice”We arent dating yet. You saved me from marrying the wrong woman, thank you. A few kisses here and there”great kisses, sure. Youve never asked me out. So if you want to ask her out fine”***** shes beautiful. Maybe I want to ask her out too.
Alice: No”Hey Dana I just thinks shes pretty I dont want to date her. Im sorry. I really do want to date you its just weird for me thats all.
Dana: Whatever I gotta go.
Alice: Call me never mind”Ill call you.
Tina: Arent you going to go after her?
Alice: No. It would be too strange.
Bette: I thought you were a bit further along than that. I thought you spoke to her weeks ago.
Alice: I chickened out.
Tina: Well you cant use Tonya for an excuse anymore. You may want to get things straight with Dana and soon.
Shane: Bette that Simone IS absolutely hot what is her story.
Tina: Why is she here?
Bette: Well shes going through a rough time and she doesnt have anyone so James and I are helping her out a bit.
Tina: OH you mentioned this.
Bette: Hey
Tina: Well I think its sweet that you want to help but be careful there.
Bette: Tina I will be but theres no need to worry. (Bette leans in and kisses Tina tenderly) Ill be right back.

Bette walks over to James and Simone.
