Shocked and surprised by Bette’s proposal, Tina quickly looked up to find her lover smiling at her, her eyes full of tears. «What do you say T ? Do you want to become my wife?», Bette repeated, her voice dripping with tenderness. Tina brought her hand to her mouth and two trails of tears overflowed onto her cheeks.

«Oh God, baby, yes, I want that very much…», she finally managed to say. She leaned closer to Bette and gave her a gentle kiss. «You were right… Now our happiness is complete», Tina told her, resting her head on Bette’s shoulder. «When do you want to do this?», Bette asked, her hand gently stroking Tina’s golden locks.

«The sooner the better …», Tina responded.

Bette chuckled. «I like the sound of that baby. What about in two weeks ? Do you think you’ll be up for it?», Bette wondered.

«I will be, don’t worry about me», she replied. At that moment, they heard a crying sound from the twins’ room. «Someone woke up hungry», Bette said, standing up and walking to the babies’ room. She came back with Matthew in her arms and sat next to Tina. She helped her with the baby and as soon as their son began sucking on Tina’s nipple, Angelica woke up crying too. Tina and Bette cracked up laughing. «Are you sure will be able to get married between feeding?», Tina asked, smirking. «I’m sure we will», Bette replied, leaving the bedroom again.

«Your Mama B is the best Matthew, but I bet you knew that already», Tina told her son, softly rubbing his head.

«And your Mama T is the love of my life», Bette said to Angelica when she got back to the bedroom. The little girl had stopped crying and was sucking on her little fist. Bette laid down next to Tina, put their tiny daughter between them and she gently rubbed Angelica’s belly. She leaned her cheek upon her head and breathed in the delicious aroma of that sweet baby.

At that very moment, Bette’s heart expanded with absolute adoration for Angelica, Matthew and Tina. Her soul was filled with gratitude and awe, awe at the miracle of life, at the depth of her love for her family. «You’re glowing baby», Tina said softly, breaking Bette’s thoughts.
