After feeding them their desert and all three babies falling asleep on the floor in front of the television, Bette and Tina were finally left alone. Tina grabbed the baby first and slowly rocked him as she walked him to his bedroom. She returned to the living room and picked up Jacky as Bette got Miah. Tina watched as bette gently placed Miah in his bed and brushed the hair away from his eyes and kissed his forehead and then whispered “I love you.” Tina’s heart swelled at the sight. She didn’t know how this woman could do the simplest thing and reaffirm everything she felt for her and more.

“I love you.” Tina whispered across the room. Bette looked up as she was running her hand through Miah’s hair and smiled big at Tina. “I mean I really love you so much.” the night light in the room provided Bette with enough light to see that Tina was almost crying. Bette got up and took Tina’s hand leading her outside the children’s room. She softly closed their door with her other not letting tina’s go. She walked them back to their bedroom and sat tina down on the bed. She leaned forward and kissed her crying wife and a tear tickled her cheek as well.

“I love you too.”

Tina sat there looking into Bette’s eyes marveling at the wondrous beauty that was this woman and said the first thing that came to her mind, “Will you marry me?”

“We already did that.” Bette smiled at her softly touching her cheek.

“I mean have a ceremony with me. I want all of our friends and family there this time. Come on we’ll all celebrate together. And then we can take that honeymoon you’ve been postponing.” Tina smiled at Bette because the last time they were supposed to have a ceremony Bette didn’t want to leave Azi when he was so young.

“I guess we can get married. You already trapped me with three kids.” Bette said in an overly dramatic fashion as she threw her hand over her forehead.

“Yes, ma’am and you loved every minute of it.” Tina said in a heavy southern voice. Tina rose from the bed wrapping her arms around Bette’s waist and kissing her neck. Bette moaned into the touch and dropped her head back on Tina’s shoulder for more. Tina obliged and kissed her slow and tickled her with her tongue. “I want you to strip for me baby.” Bette smirked at the way Tina was so demanding in their foreplay. Bette started to unbutton her shirt until Tina’s hands stopped her and she said, “I want you to do it slow.”
