Chapter 2

“You’ve got to be shitting me.”

Buying a business meant the crazy bitch was staying in town even after her probation was complete.

“No, I’m not.  She apparently convinced some backers to front the money for this venture.  Maybe she blackmailed them too.  There’s no fucking way that sick freak can get a liquor license in her own name.” 

Dawn Denbo.  That bitch was becoming the bane of her existence.  She hated that the parasite was sucking so much of her attention.  But she was afraid not to be aware of her presence in their lives.  Was she still fixated on her Tina?  Was it Denbo’s ego that wanted Tina or was she pathological?  Bette didn’t know what Denbo was capable of….and she couldn’t chance not finding out.

Tina kisses Bette on the cheek and whispers, “Come on, babe.  We’ll be late if we don’t leave now.  It doesn’t matter what she does.”

Tina turns to Alice and smiles.

“Thanks for the update, Al.  Now move your car.  We’re on our way to find out if our nursery will be pink or blue!”

*********************************

Bette is holding Tina’s hand, watching their 2 babies on the screen.   Tina squeezes Bette’s hand gently and says, “We’re ready to know if we’re having boys or girls.”

Dr. Wilson continues moving the device over Tina’s abdomen then clears her throat.

“Congratulations, Mommies. You’re having…….”

“I hope I’m getting earth daughters!”

Alice, Shane, and Dana are at school having lunch together.  The excitement of finding out the sex of the babies has Alice more hyperactive than usual.

Dana looks at Alice and rolls her eyes. 

“It doesn’t matter if they’re boys or girls…..no 2 kids will be more loved.”

“Of course, that’s true.  But can you imagine Porter with 2 girls?  The poor kids might never get a date!  What boy would want to come to the door to pick them up, knowing Bette is on the other side!  The opportunities to wind Porter up will be endless!”

Shane shakes her head at her crazy friend.

“It would be fun to have some little boys around.  Carmen’s nephews always make me laugh.”
