Chapter 16

Three days has passed since Bette got fired. Tina had made an appointment with Dr. Wilson this afternoon, right after Bette removes her stitches.
Bette is in with Dr. Wilson now.
So how does it look Doc? Bette asks.
It looks fine, it has healed nicely. Dr. Wilson replies as she takes the stitches out one by one. It took only 10 minutes, and she was out. Tina was waiting for her appointment out in the waiting area. She sees Bette come out, and stands up. So, has it healed okay? She asks. Yes, just fine. Bette says and gives Tina a little kiss.
A few moments later, a nurse calls out Tinas name. Bette looks at Tina and signals that shell stay here.
No, please come with me. Tina says and reaches out her hand for Bette to hold. Yeah, I did promise to be with you every step of the way this time, didnt I? Bette says and smiles as she takes Tinas hand and follows.

They are taken to a examine room, where Dr. Wilson leaves the room for Tina to get undressed. Let me help you. Bette says and moves closer to Tina and unbuttons her jeans, and slowly pulls the jeans to the floor.
Bette what are you doing? Tina says as she smiles a bit embarrassed.
Remember last time, Dr. Wilson told me to ***** you right here, get you exited because then it might be easier for the egg to find its way. Bette says and kisses Tina softly on the lips. Tina is now starting to get very exited, she moans as Bette moves slowly down to her neck and up again. Then there is a knock on the door. Tina jumps up on the bed and Bette moves to the other side of the bed and straightens her clothes.
Come in. Bette says and smiles down at Tina. Dr. Wilson enters with the sperm from Marcus Allenwood, the same sperm they used last time.
So are you ready? Dr. Wilson asks. Tina nods her head and smiles up at Bette who takes a hold of Tinas hand. Through the whole procedure Bette never let go of Tinas hand.
You have to keep you legs up for a little while. Dr. Wilson says.
So when are we able to see if Im pregnant? Tina asks Dr. Wilson after shes finished.
Well in about three weeks, you could take a home pregnancy test, and that will give you an idea. Then if that is positive you can call me and well confirm the results. Dr. Wilson replies.
Tina looks at Bette, Bette smiles.
It will be the longest three weeks in history. Bette says and let out a soft sigh. Dr. Wilson leaves the room.
So what do you say about me taking you out to lunch? Bette asks and smiles at Tina.
Yeah, The Planet? Tina says.
Not today, I want privacy with my wife today, and I wont get that at The Planet, Alice is probably there, so Im taking you some place else. Bette replies. Where? Tina asks. Were going for a ride down to Santa Monica. Bette says. Tina is now getting up and put on her jeans and shoes. Bette has to help Tina button up her pants and help her with the shoes. Whats it called? Tina asks very curiously. Its Caf Montana. Bette says. Yeah, Ive heard about that. Tina says. They leave the hospital

They then drive down to Santa Monica and Montana Ave. Park the car and walk hand in hand to the caf. They are seated right away.
Its really nice here. Tina says. I know, I thought you might like it. Bette replies. They both ordered a big salad with bread and juice.
So what do you want to do next, about work I mean. Tina asks.
Well, I have a master degree in art history, I should be able to use it one way or another. Bette replies.
What about teaching? Tina asks. Teaching? Me? You think so? Bette asks curiously. Yeah, why not? I love listening to you talk about art, I bet everyone else would too. Tina says as she smiles.
I never thought about that, I do love talking about art and to share thoughts and knowledge. Bette says as she is a bit surprised that shes even considering it.
Down at the centre, we have several classes and on of them are about art. Its teenagers who enjoy art that want to learn more about it. You would be a great teacher to them. Tina says and takes a hold of Bettes hand and squeezes it gently.
They enjoy the rest of the salad and then leaves.
So are we going home or do you have more planned? Tina asks as she glances over at Bette.
No nothing else planned, at least not now. Bette says and grins at Tina and places her hand on Tinas leg. Tina places her hand on top of Bettes and they stayed like that till they drove into their driveway.
