Harmony:  “Well I guess if it has all that.”

 

Bette:  “I just want my baby to be as safe as possible.  I would have gotten something like this when Angelica was born but I couldn’t afford it then.  I can now so I want all my children to be protected.”

 

Harmony motioned for Bette to take the baby and then stood.  She peered through the window.

 

Harmony:  “Leather.  Nice.”

 

She looked back at Bette.

 

Harmony:  “I love it.”

 

Bette:  “Yeah?”

 

Harmony:  “Yeah.”

 

They shared yet another kiss.

 

Bette:  “Ok big man lets load you up here.”

 

Bette strapped in the baby for his first ride home as Harmony climbed, literally, aboard.  Bette quickly ran around the side and got in.

 

Harmony:  “New car smell.  I love new car smell.”

 

Bette:  “Me too.”

 

She gave Harmony a toothy grin.

 

Hamrony:  She’s having so much fun right now.

 

Bette began the drive home.

 

Harmony:  “You know babe you can drive over 25 mph.”

 

Bette:  “With these crazies on the road.  No thanks.”

 

Harmony just shook her head and smiled.

 

As soon as they arrived home Harmony and the baby were both fast asleep.  Bette would sit for hours just watching them.  She had a beautiful basinet made for the baby that Harmony refused to have more then 2 feet away from the bed.  Bette couldn’t wait for Angelica’s reaction when she first saw the baby.  By 6 that evening Dakota was ready to be fed again and the ladies were knocking at the door.  Bette led them to the bed room.  They filled the room with flowers and balloons.

 

Alice:  “Whoa, Harmony.  Pregnancy as done you good.”

 

Bette hit Alice in the arm.

 

Bette:  “I’d thank you to not ogle my wife’s breast as she feeds our new born child.”

 

Alice:  “Sorry.  Geez.”

 

Jenny:  “Oh he’s so beautiful.”

 

Kit:  “He looks just like you Harmony.”

 

Shane:  “How long did it take?”

 

Bette:  “About 2 hours.”

 

Helena:  “That’s not bad.  Winnie took 5 for both children.”

 

Max:  “What’s the little fella’s name?”

 

Harmony:  “Dakota.”

 

Kit:  “Dakota Porter-Scott.  I dig it.”

 

Helena:  “Great name.”

 

Jenny:  “Harmony I bought you this book I loved when I was child.  Maybe you could read it to Dakota.”

 

Harmony:  “That’s very nice of you Jenny.  I will.  Thank you.”

 

Alice:  “I got you an even better gift Harmony.”

 

She dangled the oblong bag on her finger.

 

Harmony:  “What is it?”

 

Alice:  “Booze!”

 

Harmony began laughing.

 

Alice:  “Not being able to drink for 9 months must suck.  I know what you really want.”

 

Harmony:  “Thank you Alice that is actually very thoughtful of you.”

 

Alice smiled to herself.  Harmony yawned as she began to burp the baby.

 

Kit:  “Ok guys let’s let the new family get some rest.”

 

Max:  “Congrats Bette.”

 

Bette:  “Thank you Max.”

 

Helena:  “Good work Dr. Porter.”

 

Bette just rolled her eyes. 

 

Shane:  “Later Bette, see ya Harmony.”

 

Jenny:  “Congratulations guys.”

 

Kit went over to Harmony and kissed her on the forehead.

 

Kit:  “I’m happy for you baby girl.”

 

Harmony:  “Thanks Kit.”

She then went over to Bette.

 

Kit:  “Well baby sis you did it again.”

 

Bette smiled at her. 

 

Kit:  “Take care of my nephew ya hear?”

 

Bette:  “Yes ma’am.”

 

Then Kit too left. 

 

Harmony:  “I think he’s out again.”

 

Bette went and took the baby from Harmony.

 

Bette:  “Out like a light.”

 

She placed him in his basinet.  She then turned off the light and climbed into bed with Harmony.  Harmony wasted no time getting into her arms.

 

Harmony:  “Oh I’ve waited to be here all day.”

 

Bette:  “Me too.”

 

Harmony:  “I’m so proud of you.  You did so well.”

 

Bette:  “Thanks.  You did alright yourself.”

 

Harmony:  “Alright?”

 

She nudged Bette’s side making her laugh.

 

Bette:  “Ok ok.  You did great.”

 

Harmony:  “Much better.”

 

A comfortable silence fell between them.

 

Bette:  “Thank you Harmony.’

 

Harmony:  “No Bette.  Thank you.

 

Bette tightened her grip around Harmony as they shared a sweet kiss.  Then Harmony fell quickly asleep with Bette right behind her.

 

The End.
