She’s got a way of pleasin’
I don’t know why it is
But there doesn’t have to be a reason
Anyway

While Kit’s friend sang, Bette and Tina held each other close, lost in their love. The sun was setting on the horizon, causing the sky to be alit with color, and they felt a refreshing ocean breeze on their faces.

«Feeling good Mrs Porter?», Bette asked as she gently stroked Tina’s face with the back of her hand.

«Never better Mrs Kennard», Tina replied, rubbing Bette’s back. «And I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with you», she whispered in Bette’s ear as they kept dancing cheek to cheek, the object of everyone’s stare. When the song ended, Bette kissed Tina while the guest gathered all around them to wish them all the best.

«I think this little one is hungry», Kit said, suddenly appearing next to Tina with Angelica in her arms. The little girl was crying. Tina laughed and took her daughter. «Let’s go inside», Bette told Tina, but her wife shook her head. «I think someone wants to talk to you», she told Bette, glancing into Philip’s direction. Bette’s brother was looking at them and Tina had a feeling he wanted to have some time alone with the brunette.

«You don’t mind?», Bette asked Tina. «Of course not babe. Kit will help me», Tina said. «Don’t worry about a thing sis», Kit reassured Bette. They went inside the house while Bette walked over to Philip. «I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to take you away from your family», he said.

Bette smiled at him. «You’re my family too», she explained. He smiled shyly. «I just wanted to say that I’m very happy for you and Tina. The love you two share is very special», Philip explained. «Thank you for making part of this day», he added.

«How could it be otherwise ? You’re my brother and I love you», Bette told him, putting her hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. He pulled her into his arms and held her for a few seconds.

«Baby? It’s time for a family picture», Bette heard Tina say behind her. She was holding Angelica while Kit followed with Matthew in her arms. «Excuse me», Bette told Philip. She sat down on the sand and Kit handed Bette her son. Tina sat next to her wife, her head touching Bette’s. The photographer asked them to smile for the camera and pushed the button, immortalizing this perfect moment in time.

Bette then turned to Tina and smiled. «Now my happiness is complete…», she told her new wife. «I’m glad to hear that…», Tina replied, kissing her softly.

«We’re gonna have such a great life together», Bette said, looking down at her two precious babies.

Tina’s eyes welled up in tears.«We will babe, I promise you that…»
