As always, Tina prepared a small feast for them. They both were ravenous and finished in record time.

Whew, delicious, T. Bette started to clear the dishes from the table.

Ill take care of them, babe.

No, you sit and relax. Why dont you go in the living room, sit and put your feet up. Ill join you as soon as I finish here.

In a few moments Bette joined Tina on the couch. Tina had her feet on a pillow on the coffee table.

How are you feeling, T?

Big. Very,Very BIG. Three more weeks and Ill be able to see my feet again when I stand.

Three weekswere going to be parentsthree weeks…

Tina took Bettes hand. Baby, youre going to be fine. Youre going to be a terrific mom.

Bette gave Tina a weak smile. God, I hope so, she thought.

Ive got an appointment with Foxworthy in a couple hours. Want to take a ride with me? When Im done, if you feel up to it, we can take a short drive.

That sounds great. Yeah, lets do it.

Actually, could we stop at the house first before the drive?

Absolutely.

They spent the next 45 minutes just relaxing. Bette hit the shower first, then Tina. Each managed to keep their hands off of one another. Not an easy task in this new stage of their relationship.

They were at the door ready to leave. Bette was behind Tina. She took her arm and turned her around, placed both hands on her face and looked deeply into her eyes. T, you are the most beautiful woman I know and I love you so much.

UmmI like the sound of that. I love you, too, babe. Listen, does that mean paybacks coming my way later? Tina arched an eyebrow

Could be, could be. Bette replied.

They headed out the front door and walked to Bettes car. Bette opened the door for Tina, helped her in and walked around to the drivers side. She reached for the door handle and froze. Written in what looked like lipstick on the window were the words:

Watch Yourself
