“Thank you,” Bette turned her head back into the toilet. Alice moved Bette’s hair and held it up. Shane walked into the bathroom, and Alice looked up.

“Can you help get Tina off the floor please?” Shane walked over and picked up Tina. She helped her up and helped her into the bedroom.

“Are you done?” Bette nodded, and Alice helped her to the bedroom. Bette sighed and laid next to sleeping Tina. “Are you going to be okay?”

Bette nodded. “Yeah, we’ll be fine now.” She sighed softly as she began to fall asleep again.

“Give Shane or me a call if you guys need anything okay.”

“Yeah—,” Bette fell asleep again.

                Tina woke up and sighed heavily. She rolled over and didn’t see Bette at her side.

“Babe?” She got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. She knocked on the bathroom door and opened. She smiled softly and saw Bette in the bath tub. Bette returned the smile.

“Hey.”

“Hey,” Tina took off her shirt. “Can I join you?”

Bette nodded. “Yeah,” Tina finished undressing and got in the tub with Bette. She sighed softly as the warm water hit her body. She rested her legs on the other side of Bette.

“Three more days, can you believe it?”

Bette closed her eyes and smiled. “No, I can’t, but I can’t wait.” She bit her bottom lip. “I’m so ready to marry you.” She ran her hand up Tina’s leg, and Tina smiled.

“I was thinking while I was intoxicated and vomiting up everything I ate this morning,” Bette chuckled. “Why don’t we have everyone over for dinner?”

“Yeah,” Bette nodded. “But you know we’ll have to get everything arranged.” Tina shook her head, and Bette frowned. “What?”

“We don’t have to plan this. We’ll fix the dinner and just invite everyone over. How hard is it to find a table big enough for all of us to sit at? I can probably get one from my job.”

“Okay, we’ll just do that then.”

Tina smiled. “Thank you.” Bette smiled but began to cry. “Babe—what’s wrong?”

“I really wish my father could be here for this. I know we never saw eye to eye with my sexuality, but I really wish that he was here to see his little girl getting married to the woman that she truly loves.” Tina moved her way between Bette’s legs and cupped her face.

“He will be there. He’ll be looking and smiling down on you. You will make him proud.” She laid her head against Bette’s.

“Do I make him proud?”

“Of course you do, you’ll always make him proud no matter what you do. C’mere,” Bette rested herself in Tina’s arms and cried on her shoulder. “Everything will be okay babe—our day will be perfect.” She kissed Bette’s skin and rubbed her back.

“I love you Tina.”

“I love you too babe.”
