Tina felt sad, tears were forming she felt hurt, this was something she thought they both wanted more than anything above anything else.

“What?” Tina asked

“I just want to open this Gallery T, I want to be there for you completely and right now I can’t”

 “So you’re saying you’re happy we haven’t been able to get pregnant” Tina sat up.

“No, I’m not saying that at all, you know I’ve been just as disappointed as you when it didn’t happen I’m just saying maybe right now is not the best time.”

Tina got up and walked to the living room. She was crying now.

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck’ Bette said

The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Tina. Bette threw the covers back and walked after Tina.

She saw Tina sitting on the couch tears running down her face.

Bette stood there feeling terribly that she was the cause of Tina’s tears.

Tina threw a pregnancy stick at Bette, Bette caught it and looked at the red (+) sign, she felt her heart stop, she stopped breathing blinked twice making sure her eyes were not playing a trick on her.

She walked over to Tina and kneeled right in front of her she pulled Tina’s legs apart and snuggled closer she brought her hands to Tina’s face and wiped her tears away.

“We’re pregnant?” Bette asked her own tears beginning to fall

Tina nodded

“We’re gonna have a baby?”

Tina nodded again

“Are you sure T?”

Tina nodded again

“I took the test three times, all with the same results”

“Baby, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I tried”

“The phone calls, dinner?” Bette asked

Tina nodded

“Baby, I’m so, so sorry, I’m a self involved, stupid idiot, please forgive me” Bette held Tina face in her hands and stared into Tina’s tear filled eyes.

“I’m sorry T, for saying all those stupid things” Bette began kissing Tina’s face

“I love you so, much baby so much” Bette took Tina in her arms.

“So you’re not mad or upset?” Tina asked

“What!, are you crazy why would I be mad?”

“You just finished telling me how you would rather wait, to have a baby”

“I was being stupid T… I… we’ve… been wanting this for so long. I was just so tired baby, and I want to be there for you I was just scared, my time has been so involved in this Gallery.”

“So you’re ok with this? Are you happy?”

“How can you even ask me that? I am beyond happy T, all you’ve ever done since I met you was make me happy, I’ve never been happier, I’m so proud of you right now, I mean I was proud of you before but now…” Bette leaned in and gave Tina a very passionate and gentle kiss on the lips.

“I love you (kiss), I love you (kiss), I love you (kiss)” Bette repeated

Tina wrapped her arms around Bette and pulled her close she whispered in her ear.

 “We’re gonna have a baby “

“We are, we are” Bette replied

“Did you make an appointment with Dr. Wilson yet?”

“Yes, she will see me tomorrow at noon”

“Us, she will see us tomorrow”

“Bette, I know how busy you are at the Gallery I can go by myself really I can have Alice come with me”

“No, I’ll go, I made a promise to you to be there with you every step of the way and I intend on keeping my promise”

Bette stood up and grabbed Tina’s hand.

“Come on lets go to bed” Bette said as she wrapped her arm around Tina’s waist and led her to the bedroom where they made slow passionate love.
