…“I’m so in love with you, Bette Porter”

“and I’m so lucky to have you, Tina Kennard”

…“Dana’s bringing her woman. And so is Shane!”

…”Alice, are you high?”

…“This is going to be great!”

…“Bette, she’s stealing my girl” Dana whined, looking at Isabel being fed by Lara

…“That’s my sister, you freak!!”

…“But how do I know what’s it supposed to taste like?” Dana asked

…“Yeah T, come over here!”

“No funny business Porter, this is a decent place”

…“Oh, honey! our baby is growing up!” Alice said dramatically, as she threw her arms around Bette’s shoulders

“They grow up so fast!” Bette played along, tapping Alice’s hand, and mockingly wiping a tear

…“Kid, you’re going to be fine” She said in a caring voice, as she straightened up her tie

“OK, ma…” She said, cracking her knuckles

“Good, now go there and bring your woman” Tina said, smiling

…“There there, Alice…” Bette consoled her, smiling at her T… She imagined Tina dressing up their kids, feeding them… she also imagined how would Tina look pregnant. ‘Gorgeous’

…“Babe, are you ok? You seemed far away”

“Yeah, I’m fine” Bette smiled. She sneaked her arms around Tina’s waist “Did I tell you today that I love you?”

…The girls grabbed a fist of confetti… the sound of keys made them hold their breaths

“We’ll be out in a second, ok? Just let me grab my wallet” …With a quick look, she noticed the shadow of one of the girls behind the wall. In a loud voice, she added “Marisol, don’t stay out there, come in” …

“OK”

Chapter35: Food, new names, a plan in action, unresolved feelings, jealousy, and gifts

“SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!”The gang yelled, throwing the confetti above her head

“Oh my God!” Marisol jumped back. Weren’t Isabel and her supposed to be going to have lunch? Not anymore apparently, but she was happy to see familiar faces in her birthday, well all but two. She vaguely remembered the black haired woman, but the redhaired one didn’t ring a thing. With a mental shrug of her shoulders, she forgot about it, she’d meet them officially in a few minutes. Turning to her right, there she was, the planner of all this.
