Tina smiles and pulls herself in closer to Bette. Bette kisses her forehead and holds her tightly.

Tina: “What got into you this evening?”

Bette knows exactly what Tina is referring to, but decides to keep it playful, “What do you mean?”

A shyness creeps into Tina’s voice, “You know…..”

Bette: “Nope, I’m not sure I do.”

Tina: “The way you met me at the door and lured me to the bedroom. It’s like you had it all planned. That’s not like you to take off from work.”

Bette: “I didn’t lure you in here. You came on your own free will.”

Tina: “Uh huh.”

Bette: “Well, I don’t see you complaining. “

Tina: “Never. I was just wonder why I got so lucky today.”

Bette: “I don’t know I just missed you….missed us….these moments.”

Tina climbs on top of Bette and kisses her, “I missed you too.” She sits up straddling Bette’s waist. Bette props her head up on the pillow and looks lovingly at the beauty in front of her.

Bette: “So what all did Dr. Wilson say?”

Tina: “Oh my God, that’s right. I haven’t told you. Well, she said she was glad we finally found a donor so she put me on these pills.”

Bette: “Pills? What for?”

Tina: “Well, since we’re using one of your eggs my body won’t be preparing to have a baby as it would if I released my own egg. So these pills help prepare my uterus for carrying a child.”

Bette: “Oh, I never thought about it, but that does make sense.”

Tina: “Yeah, and you have to go soon to donate your eggs.”

Bette: “Babe, with all that just happened at the CAC, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to take much more work off. How long do I have?”

Tina: “Not long. Dr. Wilson explained to me that timing is very crucial once we get started. I may have to be at her clinic at least every other day and then possibly every day the further along we go.”

Bette: “Why?”

Tina: “Because they have to check the progress of my uterus to see when it will be ready to conceive. Then there’s only like a few hour window to actually implant the fertilized egg.”
