When Tina pulled in their driveway, she was surprised to see Bette’s car already there. She thought Bette would be a little bit later because she had to pick up the sperm but apparently she had left work earlier. She opened the front door and couldn’t believe her eyes. She dropped her keys out of shock and just stood there with her mouth open. The whole room looked so romantic. She saw Bette walking over to her with two glasses of wine in her hands and a broad smile upon her face.

Bette: “Hey baby. I’m glad you’re home.”

She leaned forward and gently kissed Tina on the lips.

Bette: “How was your day?”

She put the two glasses down on the little table in the hall and took Tina’s coat to the wardrobe. She picked up Tina’s keys and put them on the little table, along with her purse. She handed Tina a glass of wine and looked in her eyes. Tina still hadn’t recovered from the amazement and was in total awe of Bette. She could finally speak again and answered Bette’s question.

Tina: “My day was good, thanks. How was yours?”

Bette: “It was okay. Nothing special happened?”

Tina: “Actually yes, I got this beautiful bouquet of flowers with an even more beautiful note. Thanks babe. Your words really touched me.”

Tina gave Bette a soft kiss and sipped her wine.

Bette: “They come from my hear T. Shall we go to the living room and enjoy our wine or do you want to have dinner right now?”

Tina: “Let’s go to sit down for a while first. God babe everything looks so romantic.”

Bette took Tina’s hand in hers and led her to the couch, where they both sat down. Tina took her shoes and socks off. Bette placed her wineglass on the table and took Tina’s feet and started rubbing them.

Tina: “Mmm, that feels good Bette. Dinner smells really good too. And is that Yann Tiersen?”

Bette smiled at Tina and kissed the back of her hand.

Bette: “Yes it is.”

Tina: “And you cleaned the house too? Everything looks so nice.”

Bette: “Uhuh.”

Tina: “You know you didn’t have to do all this Bette.”

Bette: “I know. Just think of it as my way of saying thank you. Thank you for wanting to start a family with me and carrying our child.”
