Bette was cleaning up the table and put the plates in the sink. Helena was walking around with Destiny in her arms, trying to get her to go to sleep. She walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter.

“Bette, I’m starting to have second thoughts.”

Bette looked up at Helena. “About what, about us?”

“No, about me having in, don’t you think it’s a little fast for us?”

Bette sighed and leaned against the sink. “I don’t know it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Oh no, you didn’t. I just think that we should just wait; besides I’m just getting comfortable in that beautiful beach house of mine.”

Bette smiled and walked up to Helena. “We’ll have to make some arrangements and have a rendezvous to go to your place.”

“I’m free all this weekend. How about starting tomorrow night? You’ll be mine until Sunday night.”

Bette nodded her head. “I like the sound of that.” Bette leaned forward and kissed Helena softly. They pulled away and smiled at each other. There was a knock at the door, and they both look up. Helena looked at Bette.

“I’ll answer it.” Helena walked out of the kitchen and walked over to the door. She opened it and stood. “Hi Tina.” Tina looked at Helena with Destiny in her hands and then at Bette.

“Can I have my child please?”

“Sure.” Helena handed Destiny to Tina, and Tina walked into the house. Helena closed the door and took a deep breath.

“Bette, we need to talk.” Tina walked down the hall into the bedroom. Bette looked at Helena and then walked down the hall. She walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

“What was that about?”

Tina put Destiny in her playpen in the bedroom. “Why would you let her hold my child?”

Bette crossed her arms and looked at Tina. “One, that is OUR child, and second, Helena is my guest in my house, and she can hold my child.”

“How long has she been here?”
