Bette let her fingers travel lightly down the side of Tina’s face, while she looked deep into her eyes

“hi” she said with a smile

“hi” Tina said her voice softer then before

“baby not that I’m complaining but what are you doing here, you should be at Kit’s”

“I know but I couldn’t sleep without you beside me, I didn’t awake you did I?” Bette said with concern in her voice

“no baby I was having trouble sleeping without you beside me” she said with a smile

“Tina I love you so much, I cannot wait until tomorrow”

“oh god Bette I love you, you are and always will be my first last and forever” Tina said as her eye’s filled with tears.

Bette moved and brushed her lips gently against Tina’s letting her feel how much she meant to her.

They continued to look at one another until they fell asleep.

Bette woke up with a start her eye’s blinking trying to adjust the light, slowly they adjusted and the first thing she saw was Tina, she raised her hand and brushed her fingers lightly down her face carefully so not to wake her.  She led there just watching her.  In the morning light she looked angelic, her heart leapt.  She had to fight the urge to wake her, all she wanted to do right at that moment was to make love to her. 

She let her eye’s travelle the length of Tina’s body resting on her stomach.  She knew that Tina had started to show and she couldn’t be happier, most nights before going to sleep she kissed the bump, she read to it and talk to it, knowing that she was talking to their child.  Tina would laugh at her but she didn’t care, she was able to do all the things that she missed while Tina was pregnant with Angelica, not being involved from the beginning had nearly killed her, but they had been given another chance and she knew that neither one of them would waste it.

Carefully she moved closer and kissed her forehead, then just as carefully got out of bed, picking up her clothes and slipped them back on, walking to the kitchen she put the kettle on so she could make Tina a tea ready for when she woke up. She also looked around for a pen and paper finding one she then wrote Tina a note, she smiled as she penned it.  She then finished making the tea, picking up the mug and note she walked back to the bedroom, moving to Tina’s side she put it down on the bedside table and started to walk back out.  In the door way she took one final look at Tina, then walked to Angie’s room carefully she walked in lent down and kissed her daughter.  The next time she would see them both would be at the wedding later that day.  She walked back out of the room and left the house.
