A crescendo to mark the peak of a moment. Tina falls limp on top of her, the weight of her body the only reality Bette craves.

                                    Is this forever? There is no doubt.

The silence of twilight envelopes them. The dew on their skin the only thing that remains of their shared hunger. Tina makes no movement to untangle herself from this mess of body parts. Bette reaches up to stroke her soft blonde hair, soothing her breathing. The hum of a moan vibrates upon Bette’s body. Tina begins to slide off but is held in place.

            “Not yet.”

The only words that have been spoken since their shared euphoric moment. She stills above Bette and her warmth permeates both their beings. Tina is everything to Bette. Bette is everything to Tina. Once again.

            “Bathroom Babe.”

She slides off of Bette with a peck on her lips. Her taste lingers. Her disappearance makes goose bumps rise on Bette’s mocha skin. The bed seems larger without Tina in it. She gets up to follow.

            “I got lonely in there.” The brunette says with a smile. She leans against the door staring at Tina who is washing her hands. Tina turns to her with a smile.

            “Then what are you doing all the way over there?” Bette quickly closes the gap between them wrapping her arms around Tina’s body.

            “Do you know how beautiful you are?”

            “You think so huh? Even with this?” She slides her hand over her stomach.

            “Especially with that.” Bette follows Tina’s movement. They stared into the mirror for a few moments taking in the contrasts of their skins.

            “How bout a shower T?”

            “How bout a bath?”

            “Perfect. I can always count on you for the best ideas.” Bette pulls away from Tina to draw a warm bath. Tina takes in Bette’s form her sculpted back and shoulders, her breasts, her arms, her stare lingers.

            “Like what you see?” Bette snaps her out of her daze.

            “Mmmm very much.” Bette reaches out for Tina’s hand and helps her into the tub, she follows slipping behind Tina’s soft body. They relax into one another Bette running her hands along Tina’s arms in the lightest of touches.

            “Have you thought of names?” Bette asks gently breaking the silence between them.

            “I have… Can’t really decide though.”

            “Maybe I can help? I mean if you want me to.”

            “Of course.” Tina turns her head to face Bette. “I’d like nothing more.”

            “Which names do you like?”

            “I like the names Alexa, Mia, Marie, Angelica, Ava, Lauren, Grace.”

            “That’s a good list babe.”

            “Which ones do you like?”

            “I mostly have boy names but from your list I love the name Angelica Grace Kennard?”

            “That sounds lovely but you know what I like more?”

            “What’s that?”

            “Angelica Grace Porter-Kennard.”

            “T?”

            “I told you Bette I’m in it all the way.”

            “But T this is huge. Are you sure? I’m happy just being an aunt.”

            “No I mean…” She turns to face Bette. “Unless you aren’t ready?”

            “I’m ready babe. I just we’re moving fast and well I thought we wanted to move slower? I guess I just want you to be sure.”

            “I’m sure.” She kisses Bette. “Stop worrying babe. I’m a big girl I can make decisions.”

            “I know T. I didn’t mean it the way it came out.” She runs her hands down Tina’s arms again.

            “Okay enough. No more worrying.” Tina says sternly. “Though it is cute when you furrow your brow like that.” Kissing her again before letting out a small chuckle.

            “So much for dating huh?”

            “Yeah… this is waaaay better than dating.”

            “You took the words right out of my mouth.”
