“She went to put Azi down.” her mother told her when she saw Tina looking around the kitchen. Tina took a seat at the table and joined in the card game. After a few hands she was still distracted, she noticed that Bette hadn’t come back yet, so she excused herself from the game and went upstairs. The hallway light was on and the door to their room was cracked open she peaked through the slot and saw how Bette was cuddled up with their son. His asthma was bothering him and they both knew that his breathing treatments usually made him sleepy. Bette was in bed with her arm across Azi and he was curled practically under her with his little head resting comfortably in her bosom. The sight alone made Tina smile, she loved seeing Bette so at ease and enraptured by their children. Instead of disturbing them she opted to slowly close the door and leave them to their nap.

Tina came back downstairs with this look of contentment on her face that was almost the complete opposite of what she looked like when she went upstairs.

“What’s with the grin?” Gabriel asked as he stopped at the bottom of the stairs when seeing this hypnotized grin plant itself on Tina’s face.

“Nothing Gabe I’m just happy to be home.” she said before she hopped off of the third step and onto his back.

Bette was coming down the stairs after coming to and realizing that she’d been asleep for nearly an hour. She was rolling up her sleeves getting ready to help in the kitchen again as she stepped down the stairs and she caught Tina’s eye as she was moving about the dining room transitioning some of the food that was already cooked from the kitchen to give her mother more space. Tina put down a huge pan of macaroni and cheese and smiled big at Bette. Her boots and the resonating sound against the hardwood floor gave notice to Bette of her approach.

She walked up to Bette as she stopped on the first step and stood on her tip toes bringing Bette down for a kiss as she looped one finger through a space in between buttons. Bette moaned into the kiss so softly it tickled Tina lightly. She pulled back grinning at her.
