Amy: “Christina sweetheart! I’ve missed you so much!”

Amy hugged her daughter very tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Tina: “I’ve missed you too mom. You look good.”

Amy: “Thank you. So do you. And Bette, how are you? Give me a hug.”

Bette did as she was told and also received a kiss on the cheek.

Bette: “I’m great, thank you. It’s nice to see you again Amy.”

Amy: “It’s nice to see you again too Bette. Now let’s grab these bags and go home. Christina honey, these people have been dying to see you again since last year. We hardly get to see you so you can guess what state your sister is in.”

Amy drove Tina and Bette to the Kennard’s house. They took their bags and walked over to the front door. Amy opened it and took off her coat.

Amy: “I gave you the spare room again this year. If you want you can bring up your bags and maybe rest for a while. Your father is at your sister’s house and the rest of the family will be here at 6:30, so you still have plenty of time.”

Bette: “Thanks Amy.”

Bette and Tina took their bags and walked up the stairs to their bedroom. They dropped the bags in a corner and jumped on the bed.

Bette: “God I’m tired. What time is it baby?”

Tina: “It’s 2:30. Do you want to sleep for a while? That way we’ll be able to stay up longer later.”

Bette: “Yeah, I want to hear some of your childhood stories. They never got to tell them last year because we were way too tired. Besides, we have to tell them about the baby. We can’t just say it and go to bed now can’t we?”

Tina: “Yeah, you’re right. We better get some sleep. Sleep well Bette.”

Bette kissed Tina’s lips and stomach and then spooned her from behind.

Bette: “Sleep well you two. I’ll see you guys later and then you little one can meet the rest of Tina’s family. I have to warn you for your Aunt Madison though, she can be a little crazy sometimes.”

Tina: “Bette.”

Bette: “What T? It’s true! She went completely nuts when she saw you last year. But, I have to admit, she’s great and I adore her.”

Tina: “Good. Cause I adore her too. Now get to sleep.”

Bette: “Have a good nap T. I love you.”

Tina: “I love you too.”

With that said, the two lovers drifted off to sleep. Their sleep wouldn’t last very long, because soon they would be disturbed by a woman named Madison.
