*Bette*

I am sitting watching Tina do laps in the expanded pool that we had constructed during the entire construction process of our home. Weve been in our home for a week now and we couldnt be happier. Well Tina couldnt be happier. Im kind of miserable right now. I feel entirely to huge, want these kids out of me and am feeling guilty for not telling Tina my secrets. Gah

Tina must have sensed my ever panicking mood as she stopped her laps and went over to the edge of the pool.

What is it babe, Tina asks me with concern shining in her hazel orbs

I smile at my love, Just quietly panicking over here is all, I say honestly

Tina pulls herself out of the water and I raise an eyebrow as I watch her lithe body coming toward me. God I want her but I freaking cant. Tina must have seen the look in my eyes because she stopped in her tracks just in front of me and smiled.

I want you too.

I smile weakly as she comes closer as I hold her towel out toward her. She takes it brushing her fingers against mine

Itll be okay, sweetie. Any day now.

I wish they would come already though.

Tina brushes my hair back from my eyes, Its been really tough on you these past few months hasnt it?

I nod my head, Ill be okay, I shrug, Im just feeling a little sorry for myself is all.

Aw honey come here, Tina said pulling me into her arms getting me wet in the process

You should return to your laps T, I say, I like watching you swim.

Tina pulls back from me and raises an eyebrow, Oh really?

I nod my head, Yes really.

Tina looks away for a moment, Bette?

Yeah.

Youll tell me where you were that one day you disappeared wont you?

My eyes widen in surprise, I didnt know that you knew about that.

I do. I figured that you would tell me when you are ready.

I suck in a breath and let it out, Yeah. You arent mad?

I may or may not be depending on what it was that you were doing.
