The next morning, Bette woke up first, as she did so many times. She propped herself up on the side, watching Tina as she slept peacefully. Last night had been like a dream, finally they had made love, it had been a long time since last time. Every day, she fell just a little bit more in love with her. She didn´t think it was possible, but every day proved her wrong. After a few minutes, Tina started to stirr, she slowly opened her eyes.
“Hi.” Tina sleepily says.
“Morning beautiful.” Bette replies as she leans in and gives Tina a kiss on her cheek.
“Been awake long?” Tina asks, as she streches out her body, trying to wake up more.
“Nah, just a few minutes. I just love watching you sleep.” Bette says with a soft smile.
“Well I love being watched too, as long as it is by you.” Tina replies as she leans in to Bette´s embrace and put her head on Bette´s shoulder as she forces Bette to roll over to her back. Bette put her arm around Tina right away and pulls her just a little more closer.
“So, do we have any plans today?” Bette asks.
“I´m up for anything.” Tina replies softly.
“Are you still tired?” Bette asks.
“Nah, just relaxing.” Tina replies.
“Well, what about taking a drive into town and walk around a bit, then have dinner there?” Bette suggests.
“I would love to, except the walking part. Could we minimize that a little?” Tina asks, as she braces herself for Bette´s reaction.
“Are your leg hurting?” She asks concerned.
“Yeah, a little, but it doesn´t require a trip to the hospital. It feels more like muscel ache.” Tina says.
“Okay, but if any other type or sort of pain errupts, you tell me right away, okay?” Bette says.
“I will.” Tina replies. “So… are there any fun things in town, except shopping?” Tina asks.
“Well, I don´t know really. I haven´t actually spent muh time in there. I know the market… Everytime I´ve been here I´ve just loaded the car up with food, and locked myself up in here for a week or so.” Bette says.
Tina felt the sorrow for bringing something up that would stirr memories for Bette about her late family. Bette saw the look in Tina´s eyes.
“Hey, don´t be sorry for asking that question. Didn´t we agree on not sensoring it?” Bette asks.
“Yes.” Tina says.
“Okay then. So, shall we get up?” Bette asks.
“Yeah, I need a shower.” Tina says as she slowly pulls away from Bette and sits up in bed.
“You need any help?” Bette asks.
“I think I got it. I´ll shout out if I need your help.” Tina says as she turns towards Bette and smiles. She gets up and slowly hobbles to the bathroom.
20 minutes later she walks out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towell. 
“Babe? I´m done. You can go now.” Tina shouts out as she walks back into the bedroom. There she finds Bette getting dressed. “Aren´t you showring?” Tina asks.
“You probably forgot that this house has two bathrooms, didn´t you?” Bette grins.
“Yeah, I did.” Tina replies with a shy smile.
“I even made us breakfast. So get dressed and join me.” Bette says and walks out of the bedroom. 
Tina gets dressed and grabs her hairbrush and a hairband out into the kitchen.
“Hey babe? Could you help with my hair?” Tina asks as she holds up the brush, with her healthy arm.
“Sure, come here, sit down.” Bette says as she takes the brush and band from Tina´s hand and then she leans down and placees a soft kiss on the top of Tina´s head. Then brushes and puts it up into a ponytail.
“Thank you. So what´s for breakfast?” Tina asks.
“Cereal.” Bette replies with a chuckle. “With sugar I might add.” Bette says as she takes out the cerealbox and some milk from the fridge.
“I thought you said you made breakfast.” Tina asks curiously.
“Well, I´m doing it now. See? I´ll even get you a bowl and a spoon.” Bette says still chuckling.
“Okay, I guess. Cereal it is then. It will be sooo much better than egg and bacon or pancakes. Sooo much better.” Tina replies as she pour the milk over the cereal and starts eating. “Mmmm sooo good.” Tina adds.
Bette smiles as she casually takes out a big plate of pancakes, put it infront of her plate and starts eating.
“You big sneak.” Tina says as she stops eating for a moment.
“AH, you want some?” Bette asks.
“What mood are you in today? Is it piss of Tina´s day?” Tina asks.
“I loved your look though, when I brought the plate out. I´ll get you a plate.” Bette says as she takes down a plate for Tina. “I´m sorry, just wanted to have a little fun teasing you.” Bette adds.
“Hmmph.” Tina says and grabs 5 pancakes, leaving only two for Bette.
“Hey, what about sharing? You know, sharing is caring.” Bette says.
“Well, I guess teasing is… Loosing… then. So, shut it.” Tina says and starts to dig in. “ The cereal is really good, you should try it.” Tina says with her mouth full.
After a few minutes of silence, both look at each other and breaks out laughing.
They manage to get through with breakfast and Bette cleans up. She funds Tina standing in the living room by the windows looking out on the ocean. She slides her arms around Tina´s waist as she pulls her close.
“This morning has been one of the best I´ve ever had.” Bette says. Tina turns in her arms so she´s now facing Bette.
“Mine too. I love you, so much.” Tina says as she leans in for a kiss.
“I love you too, more and more each day.” Bette softly says as she smiles down at Tina, and then leans in for another kiss.
After a few minutes of kissing, Bette breaks away. “So, ready to paint the town?” She asks as she giggles.
“Yeah.” Tina replies as she leans in for one more kiss.
“Come on, let´s grab our things. Do you want a jacket?” Bette asks.
“Yeah, I think so. I guess it´s a little more windy here.” Tina says.
“Yeah, a little.” Bette says as she walks over to the hallway closet and takes out a couple of jackets. “Here, you can borrow one of my windbreakers.” Bette says and helps Tina into it.
“Thanks.” Tina replies.
They close up the house and drives into town.
“It seems nice here. Quiet and… a bit movie like, in a way.” Tina says as Bette drives through the town and down to the little marina, there she parks her car. 
“They have the best pie here and the best coffee. The little café down there” Bette says and points to a building on the edge of the dock that sort of is buildt on poles in the water. “You want to try? Or are you still full after all those pancakes?” Bette teases.
“I think I have a little extra room for a pie and a coffee.” Tina smiles.
“Great, come on.” Bette says and takes Tina´s hand into her own. They walk onto the dock and enter the little café.
“Bette Porter, long time no see.” A middle aged woman shouts out as soon as they enter the café.
“Hey Marge, yeah it´s been a long time.” Bette says as she lets go of Tina´s hand to give the older woman a hug.
“So where is that little boy of yours? He´s what now? 4? Or 5?” Marge says as she looks behind Bette.
Bette cringes a little and she feels Tina´s hand take a hold of her own.
“Come on Marge, can you join us for a few?” Bette asks.
“Sure, let me get you coffee first.” Marge says as she walks back to the counter to get them three cups of coffee.
Bette and Tina takes a seat in a booth in the corner fartherst from the door to get some privacy.
“Are you okay babe?” Tina asks as she softly strokes her hand on Bette´s back.
“Yeah, I´m fine.” Bette replies as she gives Tina a smile.
Then Marge comes back and put three cups of coffee down on the table as she takes a seat on the opposite side of them.
“So, how have you been?” Marge asks.
“You asked about Zach, and I´m sad to say that he´s passed away, about 2.5 years ago.” Bette says as she looks up at Marge and sees the tears in her eyes right away.
“Oh my God, little zachy. How?” She asks.
“He and Caitlin got into an car accident on their way home from the market. They were hit by a drunk driver.” Bette says.
“Oh my, oh my. I´m so sorry to hear, I didn´t know. You weren´t with them in the car?” Marge asks.
“No, I was waiting at home.” Bette says.
Marges face is completely in tears. Bette reaches her hand and cover her hand with her own.
“It took me two years, but I´m finally okay with it and believe they are in a better place. I know I am. Marge, I´d like for you to meet my partner Tina Kennard.” Bette says and gives Tina a smile.
“Hello Marge, it´s nice to meet you.” Tina says as she extends her hand to the older woman.
“Hi, Tina, it´s nice to meet you too.” Marge says as she shakes Tina´s hand. Then dries her tears.
“So that´s why you haven´t been here for so long then?” Marge asks Bette.
“I´ve been here, lots of times, but I just spent it at the house. Didn´t go out.” Bette replies. “So in a way yes.” Bette adds. 
“Well, I´m glad you found love again Bette.” Marge says as she reaches over and squeezes her hand.
“Me too.” Bette replies and smiles at Tina.
“So, what can I get you two? You in for a piece of pie?” Marge asks.
“Yeah, we are. I´ll have the blueberry pie. Tina? What do you want?” Bette asks.
“I´ll have the threeberry pie.” She replies.
“Comin right up.” Marge says as she stands up and walks into the kitchen.
“You okay?” Tina asks once Marge walked away.
“Yeah, I am. I forgot for a moment that I hadn´t talked to Marge for a few years. We were up here about a month before the accident.” Bette says. Tina takes a better hold of Bette´s hand and lift it up and places a soft kiss on it. No words were needed.
A few minutes later Marge walks out with the pies.
“Here you go ladies. It´s on the house.” She says.
“Marge, you don´t have to do that.” Bette replies.
“Bette, please, I want to. Now, you enjoy your pie. And please let me know when you leave. I´m going in the back to do some moneycounting.” Marge says and smiles.
“We will. Thank you Marge.” Bette says and smiles back.
“This was good. You want to try mine?” Tina says and holds up a spoonful. Bette opens her mouth and leans close and takes the offered spoon.
“Mmmm that was good. Here try mine.” Bette says and does the same.
“Yeah, it was.” Tina agrees.
Bette signals for the waitress. Moments later a young girl walks up.
“You want anything else?” She asks,
“Yeah, can we get two whole pies, one with threeberry and one with blueberry to go?” Bette asks.
“Sure.” The young girl replies with a smile and walks over to the cashier.
About ten minutes later she walks back with two pies in a box.
“Thank you. Could you by any chance go and tell Marge, that we´re leaving? She wanted to say goodbye before we left.” Bette asks the girl.
“Sure.” She replies and runs back to Marge´s office to tell her that Bette and Tina were leaving.
Moments later Marge walks out.
“I hope you won´t take this long to come back here.” Marge says as she pulls Bette into a hug.
“I won´t. I´ll come down here, whenever I´m at the cabin. That´s a promise.” Bette says with a smile.
“Good, I´ll hold you to that.” Marge says as she releases her hug.
“It was nice meeting you Tina.” Marge says as she reaches out for her hand.
“Likewise.” Tina says as she smiles widely.
Moments later, they were on their way back to the car.
Bette is silent, the whole way and Tina is a little worried.
“Babe? Are you okay?” She asks softly when they reached the car?
“Yeah, I´m fine, just thinking back, that´s all.” Tina gives her a soft smile. They both get into the car to go to their next adventure in the little town.
