Bette and Tina had to smile as they walked into the Planet and found all their friends gathered around their usual table. Alcohol wasn’t usually served in the day time, but Kit was willing to make an exception for this particular day. As soon as she saw the couple walk in, the older Porter came over carrying a bottle of champagne which she presented to Tina.

"This is for you baby girl. It’s on the house"

"Kit, you really don’t have to…"

"Nonsense. You’re family and I want to"

"Thanks" the blonde smiled and kissed Kit on the cheek.

"You want a hand getting some glasses?" Bette offered to her sister.

"Please"

The two Porters made their way to the bar and Kit got out a set of champagne flutes from the top shelf.

"So how are you feeling about it all baby sis?" she asked.

"I’m a bit overwhelmed by it all to be honest. It just means so much to see that weight lifted off T’s shoulders. I ought to be mad that he was only convicted of the lesser charge against me, but when I see how relieved Tina is, I really don’t care anymore. He’s out of our lives and that’s what matters"

Kit smiled "She’s definitely had a good influence on you"

"What do you mean?"

"The old Bette would have flown off the handle by now, but you’ve mellowed since you’ve been with Tina"

"Believe me, the firey Bette’s still here"

"Oh I don’t doubt that. But you can control your temper now and save it for when it’s really needed"

Bette thought about it "I suppose you’re right. I’ll be keeping hold of her then" she said with a grin.

"Like you would ever even consider letting her go"

"Not a chance"

The two sisters grinned at each other and carried the glasses back to their friends.

"Who’d have known you even sold champagne?!" Alice exclaimed.

"I’ve been saving a bottle for a special occasion"

"Well today definitely fits the bill" Shane commented.

"Do you want to do the honours T?" Bette asked, nodding at the champagne bottle.

"Ok" Tina smiled "just don’t blame me if I take your eye out"

The blonde bit her lip subconsciously as she held the bottle and turned the cork, looking pleased with herself as she heard it pop. She filled the glasses on the table and made sure that everybody had one before holding her own in the air.
