Dr. Wilson: “I have one other option you may want to consider that would make the donor decision a little easier. There is a procedure, used sometimes for surrogate mothers, where we would take an egg from Bette and fertilize it with the sperm from you donor choice. Then, we would implant the fertilized egg in the lining of your uterus and you would be able to give birth to a child born of the both of you. Though the child would likely carry on more of Bette’s physical aspects, myself and many other physicians believe, that the child takes on many other charactersitics of the birthmother because it is her blood that courses it veins and nourishes it throught the nine months of development. But also because there is a bond between a child and it’s birthmother that cannot be replicated. I think this type of procedure would suit two people in your situation well. I must tell you, while the risks involved are relatively few, it is a very expensive procedure and can be frustrating because it may take several implantation sessions for one to take. I would recommend the two of you not make a decision now. You should discuss this and let me know what you decide to do.”

Tina: “I would definitely like to consider this, Bette?

Bette: “Me, too, thank you for your time, Dr. Wilson.”

Dr. Wilson: “You’re welcome and good luck to the both of you.”

Bette and Tina leave the clinic deep in thought and begin a silent ride home.



Chapter 4:

The girls arrive home lost in their thoughts. Bette wonders how everything got so far out of hand. This is supposed to be a happy time for them to share.

Bette: (thinking)”I’ve been as selfish as Tina. What should the race of this baby matter as long as it’s born out of love. Why can’t Tina see this? I don’t even know who’s right or who’s wrong anymore.”

As they enter the house Bette is pulled from her thoughts as Tina gently lays her hand on Bette’s shoulder encouraging her to turn around. Bette sees the apologetic look on Tina’s face.

Tina: “I want to go through with the procedure….but I want you to make the final decision. I just want you to know that if it’s something you want to do I’m in, but if not we’ll do whatever else you decide….it’s all in your hands.”

Bette is silent for a moment shocked at Tina’s change of heart. Tina begins to worry because Bette hasn’t responded.

Tina: “Are you there? Did you hear me?”

Bette: “I’m here….I think I heard you.”

Tina: “Well…” Questioning Bette.

Bette: “I’m thrilled…..I would love to do this procedure and be able to share that experience with you, but honestly, I don’t see how it changes anything.”

Tina: “Why not? What do you mean?”

Bette: “Because I’m half-black ,Tina, even if we use a white donor don’t you think there’s still a chance the baby could turn out with a dark complexion? It’s in my gene’s. We’re in the same predicament.”

Tina: “Baby, I don’t care anymore. I’m willing to take that risk because I love you and I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter. I know whatever obstacles cross our path we’ll work past them together. I can’t describe to you the feeling I get when I think about carrying “your” baby. It makes me feel honored and closer to you than I ever thought was possible.”

Bette: “Did you ever think I wouldn’t be there for you and the baby?

Tina: “Well it concerned me that if the baby wasn’t your blood relative you might not feel responsible for it.”

Bette: “So that’s what this whole mess was about? What do you mean about me not feeling responsible?”

Tina: “I don’t know I guess that if we had a bi-racial baby and it wasn’t technically related to you that you might not feel like it was your responsibilty to deal with any discrimination or negativity that was thrown our way. Or my biggest fear is that you might leave me and then I would not only have to raise a child by myself, but on top of that a bi-racial child. I would never be able to empathize with a child in that situation, only you could.”

Bette: “Tina, I can’t believe you didn’t share these concerns with me to begin with. I would NEVER make the commitment to bear a child with you if I didn’t plan on sharing the responsibilty. And I never plan on leaving you, but you should know, no matter what happens, whether we stay together or if it just doesn’t work out…. I will always feel responsible for our child….for you. As long as I live the both of you will always be taken care of…..never forget that….and never question my loyalties to you and this family.”

Tina: (tears streaming down her cheeks) “Thank you so much for everything that you are. I’m sorry I wasn’t honest and open with you and I let this hurt you. (sobbing) I’m so sorry, Bette…..I’m so sorry….”


Tina buries her head into bette’s chest.

Bette: (now unable to hold back her own tears tries to comfort Tina with quivering lips) ” shhhh….it’s okay…..don’t cry……shhhh….”


Bette holds her until Tina’s sobs slowly quieten. Bette pulls Tina’s face close to her’s and gently moves the hair out of Tina’s eyes. Bette softly smiles as her last few tears reside.

Bette: “Baby, I’ve made a decision.”

Tina: (wiping her face) “Already?”

Bette: “I want you to have my baby….Let’s do it.”

Tina: “Baby, I’m so happy.”

Tina ,unable to control herself, leans in and kisses Bette deeply. They pull apart only when they find it hard to breathe. Bette looks into Tina’s eyes and sees the fire burning deep within her. At that moment they both know there is nothing left to be said.

Bette walks Tina to the bedroom and carefully lays her on her back and begins to softly kiss her neck. Tina can feel the aching wetness begin to form between her legs as she starts to moan. Bette sweetly kisses her lips then licks them, beckoning tina to open them. Tina slowly slides her tongue into Bette’s mouth. At this Bette finds it hard to contain herself any longer. She begins to remove Tina’s clothing. They both frantically tear at each other’s garments. Finally, as if she had never seen Tina’s body before, Bette dives into Tina’s ***** as they gracefully fall from her bra. Tina sits up holding Bette’s head into her chest as Bette sucks on her nipple, flicks it with her tongue, and teasingly bites it. Tina pulls Bette’s mouth to her’s and they kiss wildly. Tina begins fumbling wiih Bette’s zipper.

Tina: (desparate) “I need to feel you baby, please.”

At this request, Bette can’t help but to yank her own pants down. As soon as they’re off Tina slides Bette’s panties down and pulls Bette on top of her as they both fall back on the bed. Bette spreads Tina’s legs with her body and places herself on to Tina.

Tina: “Oh my God! Baby, you feel so good….I can feel your hot, wetness all over me.”

Bette: “I know, baby, I love the way yours feels sliding against mine.”

Bette grinds into Tina’s ***** eliciting moans from her. Bette notices the intensity that is building and she slows down teasing Tina.

Bette: “uh, uh, uh….not just yet.”

She slowly moves down Tina’s body placing kisses on every inch of skin. She moves to Tina’s naval and licks all the way down her soft, blond trail until she reaches her curls. Traveling further she soflty blows on tina’s hot center sending chills through her body. Bette can see Tina’s juices forming a stream down her valley and onto the bed slowly drenching the sheets. Bette places her tongue at Tina’s core and licks up her crevice to her hardened ***** tasting her sweet nectar. This is almost unbearable for Tina as she unsuccesfully tries to force herself into Bette’s mouth. Bette still teasing pulls away from Tina’s allure.

Bette: “I want you all over me.”

Unsure what Bette means, Tina submisses to Bette’s control, as she would do anything to feel Bette release her from this ache, alleviate this throbbing between her legs…. Bette moves back up Tina’s body and kisses her as she rolls Tina on top of her. She pulls Tina up until she is straddling her abdomen. Taking Bette’s gentle pulling as a hint, Tina continues to move further up until her core is just above Bette’s mouth….

Bette: (begging) “Please, Tina, I can’t wait to taste you.”

Needing no encouragment, Tina sits down on Bette’s face. She can feel Bette moan between her legs as Bette begins to lick her swollen nub.

Tina: “Bette…oh my God…that feels so good.”

Tina grinds herself into Bette as Bette starts sucking her *****…..Tina grips the headboard as the feeling intensifies.
Bette can feel Tina’s juice all over her face. She slowly slips one arm through Tina’s legs and slides two fingers into her. Tina screams with pleasure as Bette pumps in and out of her. Tina is thrusting into Bette’s face as Bette adds a third finger and pushes harder.

Tina: “Don’t stop, Oh God, Bette! Don’t stop…uhh …yeah like that….uuhhhhh”

Tina’s entire body stiffens as her walls tighten around Bette’s fingers.

Tina: (screaming) “Bette…..I’m cummming.”

Bette can already taste Tina’s ***** as it pours from inside her. Bette slows her pumping as Tina rides out the last wave. Exhausted and breathless Tina is too weak to move. Bette pulls Tina’s limp body back down on top of hers. As Tina’s breathing returns to normal, she looks up to see Bette smiling at her.

Bette: (in her most *****, seductive tone) “Come Here”

Tina lifts up and licks her wetness off of Bette’s face then kisses her deeply, their tongues encircling one another. Tina props herself up on Bette’s chest.

Tina: “You are ***** amazing. You make me feel like no one has ever made me feel. “

Bette: “Oh really….why don’t you tell me just how it feels?”

Tina: “uh uh…..let me show you.”
