“Does you sister have children?”

“Yeah, two girls. Amy and Lucy. They are 13 and 10. Amy is my Godchild but I don’t see her as much as I want.”

“So, how do you want to tell them?”

“Maybe go to SC for a few days. First tell my parents and then Christa. I want to have the hardest part first…”

“When do you want to go?” Bette asked.

“Maybe in about 2 weeks? Take Patricia and Nathaniel with us. And maybe Fabian could stay with a friend or something… I don’t know.”

“That sounds good to me. You will be 20 weeks pregnant then. Half way through your pregnancy.”

“We are having triplets baby. They will probably come faster.”

“Oh, yeah, that’s true…”

Tina yawned. Bette found it adorable.

“Are you tired, my love?” she sweetly asked.

“Yes. I feel really tired.”

“Then let’s go to bed.”

2 weeks later

Tina had packed everything necessary. They would have to drive for about 2 days. Patricia and Nathaniel where excited about seeing their grand-parents and Aunt again. Bette was also nerves. She knew this wouldn’t end well. Fabian would stay at Jacob’s; she also had stress about that. Jacob and Fabian wouldn’t go too far right? She had talked to Fabian about it and he assured her he wasn’t ready to do ‘that stuff’.

“Hey, baby.” Bette came up behind Tina and wrapped her arms around her blonde.

“Hi, babe.” Tina sighed.

“Everything is going to be okay, you know? Even if they are extremely mad at you, we will still live our lives. Yes, they maybe won’t be in it but you can’t do anything about that.”

Tina turned around and hugged Bette.

“I know, I’m just scared. They are my parents, I love them, and I don’t want them to hate me.”

Bette could just hold Tina tight. She knew she couldn’t do anything else to help her sweetheart. Then Nathaniel walked in.

“Mommy! I want to leave!” He said.

They broke apart. Tina gave Bette a quick peck on the lips.

“Yes, Nathaniel, we are going to leave soon. Where’s your sis?”

“She’s coloring.”

Bette looked at Tina.

“Let’s go, okay?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Bette picked up the suitcases because she didn’t want Tina to lift anything heavy. They collected the kids, said bye to Fabian and then they were out of the door. They sat the kids in the car and after 10 minutes they were driving. The kids kept talking about their favorite TV-program. Bette just hoped they wouldn’t get too bored because then this ride would become hell.

“Hey, Tee, you did tell your Mother you would bring the kids and me?”

“Yes, she thinks I’m bringing a friend. I’m just going to tell her as soon as possible so we can go to my sis. I just wished this s-h-i-t was over.”

Bette took Tina’s hand and squeezed it.

“Yeah, I understand. It won’t be that awful, I promise.”
