Bette and Tina spent the first few years of their married life very content, very happy. Alice spent a lot of time with them. They were the best of friends. They had met two more friends, Dana Fairbanks and Shane McCutcheon.

Shane and Bette hit it off immediately. Shane was a heart breaker. Bette saw a lot of herself in Shane. The ladies LOVED Shane. Shane loved the ladies. Shane admired Bette, her style, her successfulness, her love of life, and the fact that Bette gave Shane hope for a long term relationship in her own life someday. IF Bette Porter could settle down, then Shane certainly could.

Dana Fairbanks was an up and coming professional tennis player, struggling with her own sexuality. She was tightly closed in the closet and this caused much teasing with her friends. you are sooo ***** was what they would say. Dana got used to the teasing and started to really enjoy it. There was so much she needed to learn, and she felt she had met the group of people who could teach her.

By their 5th year together, Bette and Tina started to discuss a family. Bette felt that Tina should leave her job and start focusing on having a baby. Tina agreed, she and Alice started researching cyrobanks and sperm inseminations and Bette and Tina began to interview for sperm donators. They wanted a combination of them both. They wanted this baby to be their child.

They located a doctor in LA that focused on artificial insemination. Dr. Wilson. They both loved her. Tina felt very comfortable with her. They also played around with adoption. They wanted to leave no stone left unturned. This whole process scared them, but they knew a family was indeed what they wanted.

Neither of them would realize how much of their life this would consume. After they began the process, Bette noticed how their once very active ***** life seemed to have lost some excitement. At first Bette chalked it up to the change they were embarking on. She actually did not think too much of it, at the beginning. She enjoyed going to bed at night with the woman she loved and enjoyed waking up to her each morning. They had Tinas ovulating schedule, they would schedule appointments for Dr. Wilson to inseminate her, and Bette was always right by her side. The first few times was exciting, but this soon began to put stress on their life. They no longer made love, they tried to reproduce. Looking back on this, Bette realized it was true. Their sexual life became a reproduction session. They were obsessed. Bette even recalled the time Dr. Wilson asked Bette to excite Tina. This aggravated Bette. She usually loved going down on Tina, but not in the doctors office, on a cold table and Tina is a paper gown. It wasnt that Bette did not want a baby, she did, but she also missed her wife. Tension began to grow more each day. Bette began to feel a little out of control.
