Bette is stunned to see her father waiting at the doors. She pulls Zachary up closer to her chest, and grabs Tinas hand tightly. T, just keep walking she whispers to Tina. Kit also sees their father, she runs up to Bette. Baby girl, I did call him, but did not think he would be at the airport, just go talk to him, you know it took a lot of pride swallowing for him to be here Bette looks at Tina, she looks at the new man in her life. T? Tina looks up at Bette, lets go say HI, if any thing he says makes you upset, then walk away.
Bette holds Tinas hand very tightly, and continues holding Zachary close to her.

Melvin: hello there Bette, I see you have something new in your arms. Good evening Ms. Kennard. Kit.

Bette: Hello Melvin (she sees her dad wince) what are you doing here?

Melvin: your sister told me that Ms. Kennard had the baby, I thought I would see how everything is. Am I interfering?

Bette: daddy, you hurt me so much last year, you turned your back against me, and all I am by words.

Melvin: I understand. I am not just here to see the little man, but to offering my apologies to Ms. Kennard and to you. I guess I wasnt sure how to act. When you told me you were *****, Bette, I thought I accepted it, but I never did, I am truly sorry for the reaction I had. I was hoping I could see, umm.see my grandson.

Bettes eyes filled with tears. Of course you can, here he is, Zach Porter.

Melvin: Porter? Zach Porter?

Tina: yes, Bette is the mother too, I wanted to give him Bettes last name, Melvin. I hope that is not a problem

Melvin: you chose Porter? No no problem at all, he isperfect. Tina, you did an outstanding job. I am not sure how, but he looks like a combination of the two of you. He has a lot of your features, Ms. Ummm Tina, but I see Bette in him to. The fire in his eyes that is my Bette. Bette, may I hold him?

Melvin: hello there, I am your grandpa. I am glad to meet you, you are strong. You will be successful just like your parents. They have a lot to offer you. (looking at Tina) he is amazing, Tina, you did a very good job. Thank you. I always hoped my daughter would get married and have children, you made that happen. I see so much pride in her eyes when she looks at you, and at this bundle of joy. Thank you for making her so happy.

Tina: we make each other happy. (whispering) thank you for coming here tonight, you have made our family complete. You are welcome anytime.

Melvin leans down and hugs Tina, as he hands her the baby, he kisses his little head. He then walks over to Bette, I am very proud of you Bette, I see what kind of man it took t win your heart. Tina is a good person, you take care of her Bette hugs her father, daddy, talk to Kit, she has changed. She is a good person, give her a chance. Please.

Melvin; so much time has passed, Bette. But, I will try.
Melvin walks over to Kit, and pulls her into his embrace Kit, thank you for taking care of your sister, you have been there for her through everything, I can see how much you mean to her. You have come along way, Katie. IIam proud of you. Both my girls have turned their lives into successful ones. That is what all parents want.

Kit: Thank you Melvin, I mean Dad, thank you.

Melvin waved to everyone and disappeared into the airport. Bette and Kit looked at each other smiled. Kit came over to Tina, see you tomorrow baby, get some sleep. Good night little Z, enjoy your home. (turning to Bette) good night, take care of these guys. I love you Bette. Bette pulled her into a hug, I love you too, Kit. You are a great sister
They waved good bye to Alice, Shane and Dana, and walked to the waiting taxi, Bette buckled up the baby and sat next to Tina. I love you Tina Kennard Porter! Tina smiled at the name Bette called her, I love you Bette Porter! They both looked at the son, and then at each other, Bette started singing a Shania Twain song in Tinas ear

When I first saw you I saw love and the first time you touched me I felt love,
And after all this time youre still the one.

Looks like we made it
Look how far weve come now baby
We might a took the long way
We knew wed get there someday

They said I bet, theyll never make it
But look at us holding on, were still together still
Going strong.

Youre still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
Youre still the one I want for life
Youre still the one that love
The only one I dream of
Youre still the one I kiss good night

Aint nothing better,
We beat the odds together
I am glad we did not listen
Look at what wed both be missing.

Tina smiled as Bette sang the words to her. They reached their home and paid the taxi and walked inside the house, as a family, for the first time. Bette opened the door for Tina, welcome home, Zachary, she pulled Tina close to her welcome home Tina.
Tina smiled at her. They closed the door. The Porters were home!

The End!
