Tina cut the engine and stared at the Christmas lights that she, Sabrina, and Jenny had put up in the morning. She had purposely circled the neighborhood, ensuring the others time to prepare the food she had made for their Christmas dinner.

“Bette no peeking, okay?” Tina held Bette’s hand, guiding her to the front of their new home.

“They are so fucking cute.” Shane cried. She quickly closed the curtain so Bette wouldn’t see them.

“Oh my god Shane, are you crying?”

“Alice, you really need to learn to shut your mouth sometime.” Sabrina said.

“Baby girl, they day you find out a way to keep that mouth of hers shut.. ya call me, got that?” Kit couldn’t help but laugh.

“Okay, Bette. So you know, I said I was moving out of Sabrina’s?” Tina was standing behind Bette with her hands covering her eyes.

“Yes.” What did this place Tina took her to have to do with that? Bette thought.

“Well I wanted you to know that I’m already moved out.”

“What?” Bette reached up and tried to take Tina’s hands off her eyes. She needed to look at Tina.

“Bette, wait. I’m sorry, but you can’t see just yet. Just listen.” Tina signaled Kelly to go inside the home.

Tina twirled Bette around so that her front was facing their new home.

“Want to know something Bette?” Tina whispered into Bette’s ears.

"I know you aren’t religious, the both of us aren’t really."

"Tee, you sound so serious. Are you okay?" Bette worried Tina had bad news.

Tina kissed her cheek and spoke.

"Today’s Christmas and it’s not about trees, tinsel, lights, and mistletoes. It’s about God and how he sent Christ to fill the deepest of human needs."

Tina lowered her hands, uncovering Bette’s eyes. She stood in front of Bette and looked her straight into her eyes.

"Bette, what I’m trying to say is that you are the greatest gift I’ve ever received and I want this day to be the day we share a beginning. Bette I love you so much.” Tina walked into Bette’s embrace sighing.

“Will you move in with me?" Tina got out of Bette’s way and raised her hand towards the home. “Here, into our new home?”
