Chapter 43

Bette laid in bed next to Tina watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful. It had been difficult for her to fall asleep last night. The babies had taken up permanent residence on top of her bladder – causing regular – rushed trips to the bathroom. Tina had also complained of her hips hurting and not being able to get into a comfortable sleeping position. Bette spent an hour tucking pillows around Tina – trying to give her some relief. That relief finally came around 1:00 AM. Bette wasn’t sure if it was real relief or just exhaustion that finally made Tina pass out.

Bette couldn’t help but smile as Tina wrinkled up her nose and whispered something totally unintelligible in her sleep. She fought the urge to reach out and touch Tina’s cheek. She didn’t want to wake her. Bette slowly moved her body down the bed so that her face was next to Tina’s belly. At some point, Tina’s tank top had moved up her body – exposing the roundness that was home to the babies. Bette lost the battle – her urge to kiss Tina’s swollen belly won out. She kissed her softly. Then she whispered, “Hey you two – try to cut your mommy some slack today okay? She needs her rest you know. Spending the entire day in the bathroom is no fun – you’ll see – when we start potty training. It’s a major drag! If mommy is tired – mommy is cranky. If mommy is cranky – mama is automatically on mommy’s ***** list. Please don’t make me live on mommy’s ***** list for the next three months. You love me right? I love you guys with all my heart and soul – so does mommy – even if she tries to move you around a little so you don’t make her have to pee all the time. Will you guys please….please….be nice to your mommy?”

Tina stirred – she moved her hand down from her side and placed it on Bette’s head. Tina began caressing Bette’s hair. Her touch was gentle and loving. Bette kissed Tina’s belly again. “Now listen Babies – soon we need to pick the decor for your room – now no arguing ok? Something neutral – you two let me know what you decide.” Tina continued to run her fingers through Bette’s hair.

Bette slowly wiggled her way back up the bed. She wanted to look at Tina. She needed to see the face she loved so much. The smile that made her melt.

“Hey Baby…that was sweet…I especially liked the part about my ***** list!” Tina smiled at Bette – a sweet smile – not an angry one. “Have I been cranky?”

Bette looked Tina in the eyes and smiled. “Well – you have had your moments – but I love you anyway! Now kiss me – make it up to me T.”

Tina leaned over and kissed Bette. “I’m sorry if I’ve been bitchy Baby….I really am…” Tears formed in Tina’s eyes. “I don’t mean to be that way…”

“Ahhhh…T….it’s ok – you can be a little cranky – even bitchy – it’s ok.” Bette wiped the tears that had fallen from Tina’s eyes off of her cheeks. “I wuv my wittle bitchy baby…”

Tina smiled at Bette, “Stop….I’m really trying to apologize here.”

“You really don’t need to Tina – I know it must be hard for you – I mean – you’re the one carrying around two little people inside you. I’m sure it’s not all fun – you know?”

“Well, it’s not all fun. But it’s mostly fun – especially with my playmate!”

“And who might that be?”

“Ah – that might be you!”

“Oh – ahha.” Bette kissed Tina on the tip of the nose. “Don’t worry about me – I can handle your moods. Great practice for menopause.”

Tina swatted playfully at Bette. “Menopause huh? Seems to me that you’re the senior citizen in this relationship – not me!”

“Funny Kennard!”

“You think so huh?”

“Yeah – I think so!! You know what else I think?”

“What’s that you old lady?”

“I think I’m head over heels in love with you.”

“You think so huh?”

Bette studied Tina’s face. “Yeah – I really think so…I really think so…”

They both shed their clothes in what seemed like a single movement.

Tina climbed on top of Bette – straddling her waist. “You know what?”

“What?” Bette smiled up at Tina.

“I think I’m in love with you too.”

“Well – at least we’re on the same page MOMMY!”

“Yeah the same page Porter – the same page.” Tina began tickling Bette. Bette was laughing so hard – she was crying.

Bette struggled to speak, “Tina…must you…torture….me?”

“Yes Bette – I’m afraid I must torture you.”

Tina reached down and grabbed Bette by both wrists. She guided Bette’s hands to her belly. She then released her grip. Bette let her hands rest on Tina. Then she moved them to Tina’s hips – then up her sides. “Tina – you are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen.”

“And exactly HOW MANY naked pregnant women have you seen?”

“Well – counting you – ONE! But there is no improving on perfection now is there?”

Bette moved her hands back down to Tina’s hips. Bette raised her hips off the bed – she needed to feel as close to Tina as possible. Tina let out a soft moan and threw her head back.

“Oh God Tina – there you go again – you are so *****!” Bette thrust her hips up again while holding Tina’s hips firmly. They both moaned with desire. Bette thrust into Tina again – and again – and again. They both began breathing heavily. Tina arched her back and threw her head back as she had an *****. Her release threw Bette over the edge. Tina let her body fall forward onto Bette.

“Tina – I love you so much…so much!”

“I love you too Baby! Hey – we should get going before mom wonders what we’re up to.”

“Ah Tina – your mom knows exactly what we’re up to.”

“What are you talking about Bette?”

“Tina – your mother knows exactly what we’re up to! You’re mother is the best.- I adore your mom. I have an idea Tina – about how to help your mom. I feel like I owe her something for giving me you. We can talk later – ok?”

“Ok Babe – let’s talk later.”
