“Momma!” Angie was really quick to place the blame on her blonde giggling mother. The scene was one that both mothers had once dreamed of. A family…

“It’s ok honey, Mama B only got you once but you found her three times!” Tina tried to rationalize with their little girl. In the midst of all the laughter, she couldn’t help but to lean into Bette’s tight embrace. It made her feel warm inside. She knew how much they needed each other, seeing the happiness in both of Angie and Bette’s face. The bond was there even after all this time apart. She knew she had finally done the right thing.

“Yay! Angie won!”

“You sure did, honey…” Bette leaned in to give the girl a big sloppy kiss on purpose. She laughed again after seeing Angie scrounged her face at the wet kiss.

“Ice cream?” Her favourite question floated as Bette and Tina got on their feet.

“T?” Tina’s shocked face showed and she instinctively nodded in reply to the loud cries of joy from their angel. Did she just called me T again? Bette walked ahead of her, already helping their baby into her shoes. Breaking out from her thoughts, Tina joined them and the trio soon headed to the nearby park for ice cream.

“So, how are you doing?”

“With the…” She pointed her tummy to clarify.

“I’m doing fine. I just have to get used to the morning sickness…” She knew those. Tina remembered it very well from her first pregnancy with Bette.

“I remember those…” She reached over and placed her hand on Bette’s resting on the bench. They were sitting there watching Angie play after their little sweet treat.

“Angie, be careful!” Tina couldn’t help but to yell out. Angie just nodded in reply, barely acknowledging her mother’s concern.

“Have you tried salted crackers?” She turned to look at Bette abruptly.

“Yeah, no help. It’s getting better though. I can’t believe I’m still getting sick. I mean I’m almost three months…” Tina’s eyes continue to lock with her brown orbs. Finally they were lost in each other. Silence around them. The blonde reached over to push a few stray brown curls from her face, gently tucking them at the back of Bette’s ear. The contact was so tender that it brought out a feeling of love within the brunette.

I love you…

They seem to say to each other as hazel eyes connected with the brown ones. Bette saw her pink lips approaching and braced herself. She leaned forward a little to complete the moment.

It was it.

They were finally lost in each other’s lips. This was their moment.

A moment that Tina hoped would change forever and right her wrong to this only woman that held her heart…
