Fate had other plans however and her walkie-talkie drew the attention of everyone around her before she could even take a step off the sand. She knew avoiding the couple at that point was pointless so she defeatedly walked with them back to the resort for a much needed chat.

The young police officer had always been a bit of a loner before she met Alice and when their relationship became very serious, she panicked and ran away. She was living on the island where Bette and Tina vacationed for months, regretting her decision to leave Alice but at the same time was much too cowardly to face her ex girlfriend. It wasn’t until after a very intense and tear-filled talk with Bette and Tina that Tasha was given the strength to face her fears. She got on the same flight with her two long time friends back to L.A. a few days later.

Bette walked over to the chatty women holding two cups of coffee and a baby bottle in her hands. Alice took one of Angelica’s tiny hands and waved it up and down in Bette’s direction.

“Oh look, here comes Momma B”

Bette smiled at her beautiful daughter before kissing both Alice and Tasha on the cheek, “Hey, what did I miss?”

“Oh not much” Tina took the cup of coffee handed to her and smiled when Bette gave her a loving kiss on the cheek, “Apparently these two here have a surprise for us”

“A surprise?” Bette asked with a raised eyebrow as she took a seat beside her wife. Alice was as eager as ever to explain.

“Well we both know you two haven’t had much time alone since Angie was born and since your anniversary is coming up, Tash and I thought it would be a nice present if we took her for the week and-”

“Just give them the tickets” Tasha chuckled at her girlfriend’s inability to stop talking.

“Oh right” Alice handed Angelica over to Tasha before opening her purse and taking out a white envelope.

She handed it over to the two new mothers with a wide smile, Bette and Tina were confused to say the least. Bette took the envelope with a raised eyebrow and looked to her wife before opening it.

Inside were two tickets for a 7 day trip to Cancun, Mexico. Bette and Tina read the location at the same time, looking up at each other in surprise.

“You guys, this is . . we can’t accept this”

“Oh come on, you have to. Tash got a great discount and since we know how much of a good time you guys in Barbados, why not try Cancun?”

Bette nearly shuddered at the thought of Barbados. Though the rest of the trip went fairly well, the beginning of it was nothing short of a disaster. Bette wasn’t looking forward to vacationing anywhere tropical for a long time.

“The tickets are already paid for so if you two don’t go, it’ll be a waste” Tasha decided it was time to pipe in.

Tina took her wife’s hand in hers and rubbed the back of it lovingly. She gave Bette a soft smile, the look in her eyes said it all. She wanted to go.

“What?” Bette narrowed her eyes as she smiled playfully at Tina. She could shake her head at how easily her wife could win her over.

“Its already paid for babe and they’re right, we haven’t had much down time since Angie. It’ll be fun”

Bette pursed her lips with and seemed like she was about to argue but instead she relented and made all three women happy. Tina kissed her wife’s lips and settled back into her seat, engaging in another conversation with the two women. Bette listened to the three talk in silence as she inwardly grumbled at what she was sure to be another vacation filled with stories.

Oh yeah, a seven day trip in paradise with the love of my life. What’s the worst that could happen?
