“Is Sam seeing someone?” Bette ventured into deeper waters.

“I don’t know.  She tends to be pretty focused when she is working on a project, she reminds me of another brunette I know.”

“Not too much I hope.”  Bette swallowed. “I remember that you don’t think women are particularly sexy after they give birth so I understand you not wanting me right now.  Do you want her?”

Tina’s head snapped up and fire blazed in her eyes.  “Tell me you are kidding.”

“You don’t seem to want me anymore.” Bette looked away the glistening of tears melting Tina’s anger.

Tina rose and knelt before Bette and Laurel who remained asleep.  “I want you so bad I’m dying.”

“You do?”

Ebony searched hazel eyes and the clouds there suddenly made sense. 

Words followed only some of which she heard the relief was so great that was all she could really take in. 

“I am afraid of how much I want you.  I don’t want to hurt you.  Dr. Wilson only gave us the green light a week ago.”

Bette placed Laurel on the loveseat and Tina pushed two chairs against it to ensure she was safe before pulling Bette into her arms. 

“I missed you so much.”  Bette cried as Tina claimed her. 

The kiss went from hot to searing to molten within seconds.  Tina gave her tongue and every nerve ending in Bette’s body surrendered.  She gasped only to find Tina filling her mouth even more.  She held on to Tina’s waist to keep from falling. 

Her nipples were instantly hard and as she rubbed against her Tina moaned her own need.  Bette sucked her tongue and felt Tina begin to tremble.  The barriers they had erected over the past several weeks evaporated and their desire for one another blazed hot.  It was several long minutes until they could tear themselves apart and that really had more to do with Laurel making noises letting them know she was awake than any desire to stop. 

By the time Bette pulled away from the sweetness beneath her lips her world had slipped back into place.  The only thing that ever really tilted her world was almost contained in this room, Tina, Tina, Tina, Angelica and now Laurel.  The only missing piece was Angelica who was at Art Camp today.  She moved to the makeshift cradle and met another set of hazel eyes.
