“Probably but her hormones are telling her something else.  I have yet to meet a pregnant woman who was not almost constantly in need of loving relief.”

                            Tina blushed.  They hardly ever revisited the brief time they were intimate with one another.  

                           “I understand what you are saying Tina but how will you deal with it if she finds comfort in the arms of another?”

                         “Not going to happen.”  Tina declared challenging her would be rivals in her mind.

                         “You could just proposition her?” Helena suggested.

                           Tina just glared at her.

                        “There are quite a few brunettes who keep looking at you tonight.  It’s a good thing I’m not the jealous and possessive type or I would have to put a stop to this.  It is obvious that you are my date tonight. I might have to speak to them just on principle alone.”  Helena mused.  “Still I don’t think Bette will appreciate you having mindless sex with any of them.  That’s why we’re here tonight right?”

                        Tina looked away then back at Helena speaking almost to herself. “I really thought I was over her”

                       Helena laughed, “So your way to prove that is to find the hottest woman here who will look a lot like Bette, tall, slim, sexy, brunette with attitude?”

            “Something like that.”  Tina confessed “at least for tonight. Don’t worry Ma, I’ll use protection.”

            “I thought you were past all that.  I know you have needs and everything but pick up sex?”

            Tina bowed her head examining her hands then defeated she admitted: “I just need a break from wanting her.”

…………………………….

            They made it to the Sahara Club an upscale club for the thirty pushing forty something crowd.  The music was nice and the club was crowded.  Tina had no trouble finding dance partners.  As the night wore on Tina was progressively playful with one particular brunette that Helena swore was a Bette clone from the back.

               After watching them she returned her attention to her own companion but suddenly realized that Bette accompanied by Alice was entering the room.
