“I had fun tonight.” Tina said.

“Me too. Did you enjoy my lap dance?” Bette asked a sparkle in her eyes.

“I did.” Tina turned red in an instant. Bette let out a low sexy chuckle.

“I could tell by the look in your eyes.” She commented.

“Bette. I am feeding Dmitri. He’s a little young to hear this kind of stuff.”

“Oh, he won’t remember when he is older…”

“Well, I still don’t want him to hear it.”

“Okay, I will wait until they are sleeping before I continue.” Bette was smiling and Tina rolled her eyes.

Dmitry was done eating and Tina laid him back in his bed and picked Romain up. She sat back down next to Bette, on the bed, and began feeding him.

“Bette?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you think I should let Nathaniel see his Dad if he wants to?”

Bette thought for a moment. She saw Nathaniel as her own son. She thought he had to see his father but he had to be prepared for what he would see and Tina shouldn’t be the one to bring the boy to the prison. Someone else had to that.

“Eric is still his Dad and if Nathan wants to see him, then I think we should let him. However, you should not be the one to take him. I will do it if you want.”

“Really? I mean, can you face him without losing your temper.”

“If I would face him without the kids around, God, no. But, in order to not scare Nathaniel, I will be more than capable of being calm. I know he almost murdered me but I am not scared of him. He is in prison and we’re surrounded by cops.” Bette had determination in her eyes and Tina smiled.

“God I love you.” She said. Bette smiled at her partner.

“I love you to, baby.”

Maleah-Odette was done eating and only seconds later Romain was to. They lay their children in their beds and kissed their brows. After that, they changed into their nightwear and slipped under the covers. Tina snuggled close to Bette.

“Babe?”

“Yeah?”

“I have to tell you something.”

“Okay, tell me.” Bette was beginning to get a little worried.

“I know I’m still at maternity leave but they are having a party at work and I would like to go… with you.”

“That’s fine.”

“But Bette… they don’t know I’m a lesbian.”

Bette frowned. “Why?”

“I never tell them anything about my personal life. They know I was married but that is everything. But don’t even know how many kids I have… I never answer any personal questions. So don’t think I’m ashamed of you.”

“I know you’re not ashamed of me…” Bette smiled a little smile at the blonde.

“Will you go with me?” Tina was still a little scared Bette was angry. When Bette smiled at her, all her doubts disappeared.

“Yes, I will go with you. When is it and how should I dress?”

“It’s next week, Sunday. It’s some sort of Gala, so a dress would be great.”

“Okay. A dress it is. What do we do with the kids?”

“Maybe Shane wants to watch them? Or Alice… no… bad idea… Let’s just ask Shane.”

Both women chuckled.

“Okay, let’s do that…” Bette yawned. Tina kissed Bette’s forehead.

 “Are you tired, babe?” Tina asked, smiling.

“Yeah.” Bette answered, smiling.

“Then let’s sleep. Goodnight Bette.”

“Goodnight, baby.”

They shared a loving kiss and fell asleep in each other’s arms.
