Tina ran over to her. Bette whats wrong baby? Is your head feeling bad? Bette nodded yes grabbing hold of Tinas hand with tears running down her cheeks. Ok just rest a bit. Let me go get your medicine. By the time Tina came back Bette was sitting up. Tina handed her the pills and a glass of water. Bette pouted looking at the pills. Please baby take them Tina pleaded, itll make you feel all better. OK, Bette said and took them. Hey are you ready for your bath now. Bette smiles again and jumped up. Wow there Tiger Tina said as Bette lost her balance. Bette I swear. No more frosted flakes for you. You are going to eat something else for lunch next time. Bette started pouting again. Awww Bette. Honey you can eat them for breakfast ok. But youve got to eat something else during the day. Otherwise Ill be scrapping you off the ceiling all day long.

Oh lord, bath time Tina thought to herself. Bette completely naked and my hormones all wacky. Tina froze for a minute. Hormones. Oh how am I ever going to explain this to Bette? How will she understand that we are having a baby when her mind isnt far from being a teenager herself Tina thought? Tinas mind jumped started again when she heard Bette giggling loudly from the bathroom.

Tina walked into the bathroom and busted out laughing. Bette what in the world are you doing? Bette stopped. Looking like a kid with her hand caught in the cookie jar. Her eyes began to water and it just broke Tinas heart. Oh honey, its ok. Youre not doing anything wrong. Well maybe you didnt need to use the entire bottle of bubble bath. But hey, if youre having fun thats all that matters. Bette hadnt even noticed her hair was gone. I knew it was growing back pretty fast, but I missed her beautiful long brown hair. It made me so sad not to be able to run my fingers through it.

Bette looked up at me and smiled that 1000 watt smile of hers and Tinas heart just melted. But only for a second before she caught the first wave of bubble bath in her face. Bette, she screamed. Bette dunked under the water and came up laughing so hard she swallowed some of the bubbles. Tina began laughing and sat down beside the tub to watch her lover and her heart began to melt all over again. Seeing her Bette for the first time in so long happy. Not a care in the world.

Bette had settled on the Disney movie, Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis. Tina started the movie and sat down next to Bette. She snuggled up beside Tina with her pop corn and drink. About half way through the movie Bette got a strange look on her face. Hey what up Baby? Bette turned and looked at Tina with her big brown eyes. Is that what I’m like Bette ask? Like what honey? Like them in the movie? Her mom was the adult now she’s like a kid.

Wow, Tina hadnt even thought about the movie and its contents. She had been so tickled that Bette had been laughing so hard at all the funny parts that she hadnt even stopped to think. Bette thats sorta what its like for you? Yes, you are an adult and right now you feel like a kid. Dont let it upset you. Remember what the doctor said. It just takes time baby. That seemed to be enough for Bette and she turned back to watching the movie. Before long laughing her heart out again.
