Babies, A Talk, A Scar
Chapter Fifty-Five



T.

Were in the kitchen babe.

Walking in to a full kitchen. A kitchen that used to be full of people drinking, partying and dancing away. Now it was babies, married women, and one good ol son-in-law.

By the time she made her way giving kisses, her lips were chapped. Is it Sunday, she asked and everyone looked at her as if she had lost her damn mind.

Porter, I think you should look into an early retirement.

Babe what do mean by Sunday?

Picking up her grandbaby, Well it looks like were about to have Sunday dinner, and it aint even Sunday.

Making goo-goo eyes at Eli, and asking for Lola.

Shes asleep babe. Her and JJ spent the morning getting to know each other. He doesnt let anyone near her Bette, he watches to make sure shes breathing.

I wonder where he gets that from. Looking at her wife, So no one around my girl then huh?

No,

Good, I dont have to worry about her then.

You catch up on your work boss?

Yes I did. And Im so far caught up that my presence is not needed tomorrow.

Another vacation? Didnt you just come from one?

Handing his son over to him, Having a baby is not a vacation James.

I dont remember you doing any pushing.

All right, Im just going to go change and check up on my babies.

Removing her buttoned up shirt to pull a more comfortable one on, when she felt her hands.

Hmmm,

T.

I missed you today. She knew that tone.

Baby shes right there in her bassinet.

Libby and James are finishing dinner for me.

Why, but she already knew.

Closing the door and pinning her wife against it, Because I wanted my dessert a little early.

To keep her moans from getting out, she softly bit her shoulders and neck thinking she was biting not too hard. But the little marks told a different story. Finishing up and returning to dinner, as Bette was now in need of a shower.

Bette the last to be seated as all eyes were on her. Tina just smiling at the other end of the table, digging in.

Lets eat.

From the left side of the table in a soft whisper, I think you already did.

Alice, please can we just eat.

Shane and Kellie finally made it. Joining at the table, Whatd we miss?

All eyes on Bette.

Never mind, looking at Tina.


Cleaning up their familys mess, JJ sat at the table, Momma.

Yeah sweetie.

Can I go stay with Eli?

Putting up the rest of the dishes, Lets go ask your mami. Trying to imitate the way he called Bette in his accent.

Bette in the chair, feeding Lola, Babe, JJ wants to ask you something.

Mami, can I go stay with Eli?

Um, let me just finish here and well go next door and see.

Bette I can take him. You finish here.

Laying Lola down as she settled in, waiting for Tina. Bette, she heard from the back door as it was being locked.

“In here still. Did Alice talk to you?

About what?

Nothing just wanted to know if you talked to her today.

I talked to Dana.

And whatd she say?

That she wants her and Alice to babysit sometime. It seems that they are doing some thinking about certain things.

What do you think?

I think its great.

Do you think theyre ready?

Maybe in a little while yeah.

What if Al, doesnt think Danas ready?

Is that what she told you?

Yeah,

Funny.

What?

Dana thinks Al isnt ready. Laying her head on her shoulder, Are you thinking what Im thinking?

Running her hands through Tinas hair, An intervention?

Yes, running her hand over Bettes heart.

Sounds like a plan.

Babe.

Hmmm.

Youve never had this scar before?

Putting her hand over Tinas that covered her heart, a silence followed.

Where did it come from?

A ring gave me this scar.

How come Im barley noticing it?

I usually have it covered really well, but its a tiny scar T. You cant see it unless you really look at it.

A ring? Tina taking her left hand and holding it up in the air, My ring.

Taking her hand and kissing the ring, Its healed Tina. Giving a reassuring kiss to her wife, Now we have some planning to do, so lets get some sleep before someone decides shes hungry.


Knowing she didnt have to wake up early, she stayed asleep. Then a small giggle came from next to her and she opened her eyes up to a pair of blue eyes just looking at her.

Tina taking the small hand into hers, Morning sleepyhead. Tell momma its time to wake up Lola. A toothless grin from the tiny baby.

Mmm, waking up to two beautiful girls, that hasnt happened in a long time.

Taking Lola and putting her in her lap, Mommas being bad Lola, we should punish her. Garnering a small laugh from the baby girl.

Morning, JJ taking his usual place at the edge of the bed. Can I hold her?

Yeah, placing the small child in his arms. Shes beautiful momma. But Lola was only interested on letting her breakfast go all over his jammies.

Bette made a face, trying not to be grossed out, as Tina put her hand over her mouth, leaving JJ just not knowing what to do.

T, do something.

Taking Lola in her arms, Hold her for a second.

T, shes dirty. Shes gonna get me dirty.

She already got JJ dirty, and hes ok.

Taking the dirty, smiling girl in her arms.

Here JJ, taking his shirt off and handing him a towel.

Okay come here sweetie, Bette happily giving her back to Tina. Im just going to jump in the shower.

She didnt even get anything on you Bette.

I was going to take a shower anyway.

Yeah right. You okay now JJ?

Si, can I have her back now?

See Bette, nothing to be scared of.

As she made her way into the bathroom leaving her wife, son, and infant daughter laughing at her.
