As she was waiting for Bette, to arrive home, she picked up some pictures that were standing on the coffee table. They were taken over the last year.

So much has changed, Tina thought. Bette had quit her job at the CAC and had reopened the Bette Porter Gallery. She spent a lot of time at home now to take care of Angelica and to work from home while James was taking care of business at the Gallery. Yeah, James had also quit his job the moment Bette had asked him to work for her. They made a great team. Then there was Angelica. She was one year old, and she was beginning to speak so everybody had to watch his or her language. They wanted Angelica’s first real word to be mommy and not something like ***** or damn. Now Sarah had changed the most. After mourning for her mother she went looking for a job. She worked at Milk as a bartender. Because of hanging out with Alice and listening to Shane’s advice about being young and not to worry about anything she turned into a player and soon she was being meet tagged. She quit her job at Milk and started working at the Planet. She had gone out with a lot of woman and was being asked out a lot. At first it didn’t bother her, but apparently that had changed.

Tina was brought back to reality by Bette’s car that pulled up at the house. She got up from the couch and went to the door to open it. She stood in the door opening waiting for Bette.

Bette was sitting in her car, glad to be home with Tina and her daughter. As she saw Tina standing in the door opening in a low cut jeans that hugged her hips perfectly and a white tank top she thought to herself: I must be the luckiest woman on this planet.

She smiled and got out of the car grabbing her briefcase. As she got to Tina she dropped her briefcase and hugged Tina close to her. Tina said nothing, but just hugged her back. “I’ve missed you!” said Bette when she pulled back from the hug. “I missed you too babe.” Tina said pulling Bette to her to give her a kiss. As they pulled apart Tina took Bette’s briefcase and took Bette’s hand and pulled her inside the house. She put Bette’s briefcase on the couch and said “Go get comfortable babe, dinner’s almost ready!” Bette did as she was told and got comfortable. She got out of her work clothes and put on a sweat pants and a tank top. Before she went back to Tina, she stopped at Angelica’s door. She opened it quietly thinking Angelica was asleep. When she came at the crib, she saw her daughter wasn’t there. She went to the living room just as Tina was putting dinner on the table. Bette walked up to Tina, held her close and kissed her on the lips. “Where’s Angel?” she asked. “With Kit.” Tina replied, kissing Bette again, a little longer this time. “And Sarah?” “Also.” “So we have the house to ourselves for tonight?” “Yes we do babe!” Bette pulled Tina closer again and kissed her. Her tongue begging for entrance to Tina’s mouth. Tina opened her mouth and let her tongue dance with Bette’s. When they both needed some air, they pulled away. Bette leaned in again, but Tina pulled slightly back, playing with her. “Not now babe, but later for sure! Now you need to eat and get your strength up for later! You’ll be needing it.” Tina leaned in again and quickly kissed Bette on the lips.
