“Please, Miss Kennard, you sure are full of surprises… A cup of tea sounds nice right about now. Do you have peppermint?” She replied as she kept Tina’s gaze with this new revelation.

“Yes, I do, that’s sounds like a good choice. Would you like any dessert to go with that?” Tina asked her as she then broke the physical contact and went and filled the electric teakettle. After turning the kettle on, she went to the cupboard and found the peppermint tea and handed Bette the two teabags.

“Thank you, but no, I don’t need the dessert. Tea will be fine.” Bette said as she took the teabags and placed them in the teapot and then leaned against the cupboard. Tina found two mugs for them to use and then got out a lemon and sliced it and placed it on the table along with the honeypot. “So, is it really alright that the boys and I are here in the apartment. I don’t want to be an imposition on Shane and you…”

“I want you here and Shane is fine with it as I called her before she got home and talked to her about it. We’re used to having extended family around us so she’s quite happy with our home filling up as it’s so huge anyway… and I think she likes Ozzie, as he seems to have an infatuation with her as well.  They were very animated when they were talking.” Tina replied.

“Yes, that was so cute of him… You know, this is all so crazy in the way it happened. I could never imagine a situation like this happening to me in this way. I think most people would call it absurd or something like that and walk away from it, but I don’t want to. I feel so comfortable in your energies and I’ve never felt that with anyone before. It fascinates and scares me all at the same time, but I really want to explore everything that I’m feeling and experiencing.

I know that I want to be a mom and these two sweet boys are just my tickets to creating that situation. And, you… Being with you leaves me speechless in what I’m feeling going on inside of me as I never felt it before. I realize now that I’ve always had so many walls up to protect myself from others’ intentions.
