Chapter 180

Mary Grace came running through Bette and Tina’s kitchen door. She surveyed the house and found Bette and Tina in the living room sitting on the couch with the babies. Tina held Dylan and Bette held Taylor. Mary Grace plopped down on the couch between them. She then let out an ear piercing scream.

“HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!” Mary Grace looked at Tina and grinned. She then focused her attention on Bette. A broad smile took over her face.

Bette looked at Mary Grace and raised her eyebrow. “Thank you….you know…if you make me die from a heart attack, Tina is NOT going to be happy.”

Tina smiled at Bette and looked at Mary Grace. “I’d get over it!”

“Gee T…thank you…nice to know I’m so loved….GOD!” Bette began pouting.

Mary Grace glanced at Tina…then at Bette…again and again and again. “You two need therapy! Gee Bette…it was a joke! Lighten up.”

Bette looked into Mary Grace’s eyes. “Therapy huh?”

“Yup…You two should consider it. It might bring you together…spiritually…you know…”

Tina interrupted Mary Grace by laughing. “Spiritually huh?”

“Yup – you two need help…you’re way too sensitive. I’ve known you two for awhile now…and….well…it’ll only cost you $59.99 for 45 minutes.”

“Is this like drive by couples counselling?” Bette smiled at Tina. “What do you think T? Are we spiritually disconnected?”

“Ummmmm….well Bette …actually….I….well….ummmmm….NO!” Tina rolled her eyes at the suggestion.

Mary Grace looked at the two of them again. “See…I told you…you’re both too sensitive….you need professional help…big time.”

Bette and Tina looked at each other and began laughing.

“No Mary Grace we don’t need professional help. We need a vacation!” Bette lightly smacked Mary Grace on the arm. “We need time away.”

“Away from ME?” Mary Grace lowered her head – obviously upset at the suggestion that they might need a vacation from her.

Bette rested her hand on Mary Grace’s shoulder and rubbed it gently. “No Sweetie…not from you.”

“Ok good. I need to go. We’re all going out to dinner for mother’s day…a family celebration.” Mary Grace got up and ran out of the house.

Tina looked at Bette and smiled. “That kid is too much. You guys are whacked…you need therapy…. going out to dinner….bye….later….”

“She didn’t even say goodbye T. Not even a goodbye!” Bette’s face dropped.

“Oh my GOD…she’s right….we are too sensitive……we need professional help.” Tina smiled at Bette.

“Whatever….so T…how are we going to celebrate?”

“I’m going to make a special dinner and you’re going to relax.” Tina leaned into Bette and kissed her gently. “Let’s get these guys into bed for their nap.”

Once the babies were down for a nap….Bette and Tina went to the kitchen.

“Ok Bette – sit….relax….you’re almost eight months and as big as a…..”

“Say it….”

“HOUSE!”

“Well if you were wrong I might be pissed – but the truth is your best defense Sweetie.”

“I know….and I absolutely LOVE your hugeness Babe!”

“Nice….”

“Ok …now remember…just sit there and relax ok….I don’t want you to lift a finger.”

Bette smiled at Tina and sat quietly as she watched her navigate around the kitchen gathering the things she needed to make dinner. Bette smiled as she watched Tina. Her eyes studied her body and eventually zeroed in on Tina’s *****. Bette grinned. She sat as she was told…and grinned…a wide….and somewhat evil grin. Tina continued to prepare dinner. Bette got up from her chair and walked up quietly behind Tina.

Bette placed her hands on Tina’s ***** cheeks as she quite loudly said. “NEED HELP?”

“GOD BETTE! Are you trying to scare the ***** out of me?”

“No…that would be gross….I want to help.”

“No!”

“Come on Tina.”

“NO!”

“Please???? Pretty please?”

“No…come on….I want to do this for you…..humor me…please.”

“Ok.” Bette went and sat back down at the table. Tina chopped vegetables. Bette walked up behind Tina again.

“NEED THESE T?” Bette jabbed a cucumber into the small of Tina’s back and one into her side.

“BETTE – GOD! Are you trying to make me mad? Are you just happy to see me?” Tina chuckled.

“Funny girl aren’t you? No….trying to help you…you forgot the cucumbers Sweetie.”

Tina smiled to herself. “I told you…I’m doing this for YOU! Give me a break….. will you please?”

“But I LOVE you….I want to help you…..”

“Bette…you know…you can be really annoying when you…..exist!”

“Thank you.” Bette put the cucumbers down. “I’ll go sit.” She started to turn to leave and then thought again. She quickly slid her hands under Tina’s shirt. Tina trembled as Bette moved her hands to her ***** and gently pinched her nipples.

“Oh God Bette…you are being so unfair…..so….annoying….and so unfair. I really need to concentrate here. So please – please – please – let me make dinner.”

“Ok T. You win.” Bette moved her hands from Tina’s ***** and ran them slowly down her sides. Tina moaned and trembled again.

“Ok Bette….I give up…you can help.”

“Oh goody!”

“So – go sit at the table and read the recipe to me.”

“Read the recipe to you? That sucks!”

“Don’t start!”

“What are you talking about Tina?”

“Nevermind!”

Bette got it….loud and clear. She lifted Tina’s shirt and kissed her back. She continued kissing Tina’s back over and over again. “So….Tina…..” Bette whispered. “That sucks!” Bette peppered Tina’s back with kisses. “I love you T….”

“Oh God. You know Bette..at this rate I’m never going to finish cooking.”

Bette smiled and continued to kiss Tina’s back. She whispered again. “Well…maybe that’s my gift to you….” Bette kissed Tina’s back again.

Tina quickly turned around. “Bette Porter – Kennard!”

Bette smiled her sexiest smile. “Yes? Have I told you today how beautiful you are Tina?”

“Bette….you are insufferable….do you know that? Ok..what do you want?”

“You!”

“Me?”

“No I’m kidding….I want some other woman…that’s why I’m in the kitchen groping YOU!” Bette rolled her eyes and looked into Tina’s eyes.

“Ok Porter…how bad do you want me?”

“I want to cuddle….I feel a little…I don’t know…..”

Tina cut Bette off. “Weird? Because you are the epitome of weird Bette!”

“Yeah – ok….weird. Can we go to the bedroom….get naked and cuddle? Please Tina!”

“Oh ok….go…I’ll meet you there. Let me talk to mom and see if she wants to go out to eat in a couple of hours with us and the babies….ok?”

“Deal Babe….I’ll go get naked!” Bette scampered off to the bedroom. “Let’s get naked….I wanna get naked….let’s get naked…just you and me.” She stripped out of her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror. “GOOD LORD! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?” Bette noticed that the babies had dropped a little and her center of gravity had once again shifted. I’m going to need a crane soon. Look at those ***** – God. Can’t get any bigger than that! Geez! Bette began singing again. “Totally naked….I’m totally naked….I love being naked.”

Tina appeared in the doorway moments earlier.”You are weird Porter.” Tina let her clothes drop to the floor and climbed into the bed with Bette. She cuddled up behind her and her held her tight. “This is nice Baby.”

“Yeah it is. Touch me T….everywhere.”

“Everywhere? Just touch you?”

“Yeah just touch me….I told you….”

Tina cut Bette off again. Tina caressed Bette’s body everywhere she could reach. Bette closed her eyes and moaned.

“Tina?”

“Yes Baby?”

“I was wondering….could I say something?”

“You can always say whatever you want Beby.”

“Well…you kept cutting me off…I really need to tell you something.”

“I’m sorry…ok…tell me….”

“I think I’m in labor.”

“Oh…you think you’re in labor. WHAT? YOU THINK YOU’RE IN LABOR? And you’re just telling me now?”

“Yeah….I’ve felt…..”

“I know – WEIRD!”

“Yes – weird….like perfectly timed 10 minute weird!”

“***** Bette!”

“I’m fine!”

“Get up and get dressed…I have to tell mom and have her call Dr. Wilson. Bette – next time tell me sooner. You must have some whicked ***** pain tolerance.”

Tina got up – got dressed and ran out of the room. Bette got up….grabbed for her clothes and stopped suddenly. She looked down at the puddle between her legs. Her water had broken. “Oh come on you three – you couldn’t have waited another few hours so I could have my way with mommy one last time before six weeks of no *****. Is this the way it’s going to be? Huh? This is war triplets!” Bette looked down again. “Damn…..TINA…..MY WATER BROKE!”

Tina came tearing back into the room. “You know…this was supposed to be – well – a little less – urgent Baby! But let’s go.”

“Tina…I really think I should get dressed – don’t you?”

“Oh *****…yeah….god….hold on…..”

Tina helped Bette get dressed and got her into the car. Jackie planned to follow later once she found a sitter for the babies.

Tina leaned over and gently kissed Bette on the lips. “We’re having the babies!”

“Yup….and it hasn’t been THAT bad – so far!”

“You’re awfully calm Bette.”

“You wait Sweetie…you just wait!”
