Chapter Thirty

“Mama.” Evan lets out as he reached for Bette. Bette is shocked and Tina Is surprised, but the surprised look is soon converted into a big smile. Bette however is still shocked as she gather Evan into her arms as he crawls to her and into her lap.

“Breathe Bette.” Tina says chuckling.

“I… did you hear what he said?” Bette asks, still shocked.

“Yes, I did. How do you feel about it?” Tina asks.

“I… I don’t know, I mean, how do you feel about it?” Bette asks back, getting her breathing back.

“I think it’s wonderful. I mean, you will be the other mother, and it’s only natural for him to assume that you are his mother too. I guess I will be mama T and you will be mama B.” Tina says smiling at Bette.

“You sure you’re okay with that?” Bette asks, just to be sure.

“I am more than okay. As I said, it’s wonderful. You’ll be a great mother to our son.” Tina says with a bigger smile than before.

“Our son?” Bette asked in a whisper as she looks into Tina’s eyes, tears threatening to fall.

“I would like that yes.” Tina says, suddenly feeling scared that she’s pushing Bette into motherhood before she’s ready.

“I’m honored Tina, really. That you would share something so precious to you with me. Really… I… I love you, more and more every day.” Bette says as the tears finally slips down her cheeks.

Tina leans over and wipes the tears away and then kisses her lips softly.

“Love you too. So, more at ease now Mama B?” Tina asks with a chuckle.

“I am, Mama T. I’ve never been happier.” Bette whispers back.

“Okay, good. Now, should we continue with our first familytrip?” Tina asks with a smile.

“Yes. What do you say Evan, shall we get going?” Bette asks Evan as she stands up with him in her arms. Only babble is heard, nothing understandable. It makes Bette smile as she kisses his cute little head. Tina is packing down the picnincbasket and putting it into the car, while Bette is securing Evan in his car seat. A few minutes later they are on their way to Chapel Hill and the last lap, at least they hoped it would be. They hoped that Evan would fall asleep and sleep for the next 4 hours. But as it turned out, they weren’t that lucky. After about two hours he woke up crying. He was hungry again, and also, Bette smelled his dirty diaper pretty good.
