“What did you say?”
“Do you want me to repeat it?”
“Yes.”
“Marry me.”
“Why?”
Bette turned around to face Tina. “Why? Why not?”
“It’s so sudden.”
“No it’s not, T. We deserve this. Dakota deserves it.”
“But we’re doing so well together like this.”
“Nothing will be ruined by it. Don’t you want to marry me?”
Tina could sense the hurt in Bette’s voice. “Of course I do.”
“Are you afraid I’ll leave you again?”
“Fear always lingers.”
Bette bit her lip again. “Do you love me?”
“Yes.”
“And I love you. What more do we need?”
“Should I start singing a horrible rendition of the Beatles song?” Tina laughed. Deep down inside she knew she wanted nothing more than to have the most intimate and raw commitment to Bette that she could. Getting there was the hard part, though.
Just then the doorbell rang. Bette cocked her head and looked slightly disappointed. “I would hold off on that song until later.” She went to the door and found Shane, Fred, Damien, Dana and Alice waiting.
Everyone stepped inside and said their hellos. Dakota met Shane and her family for the first time. Instead of taking charge around Damien, she acted shy and quiet. His smallness intimidated her.
“I can’t believe you’re here!” Alice squealed at Shane, excited that the gang was once again together around the same table in the same city.
“Feels like no time has passes.” Shane said. “Then it seems like an eternity.” After that comment she looked at Damien lovingly. Bette felt a twinge of longing grab at her momentarily.
“You guys seem really happy.” Tina commented as she cleared the plates and brought out dessert with Dakota’s help.
“We are. Falling in love, getting married, having a baby…. it gets better with every day.” Fred said.
“You must be one special woman to tame Shane.” Bette laughed.
“I hear that all the time!”
“Well you won’t find a better woman.” Dana said.
“I couldn’t ask for more.” Fred kissed Shane. Everyone made kissy noises and Shane blushed.
“What about you two? How are the girlfriends?” Shane asked Dana and Alice. They shrugged and mumbled something about how nothing ever seems to work out.
Shane shook her head and laughed. “How the tables have turned!” Alice and Dana both threw a spoonful of whipped cream at her at the same time, hitting her on both cheeks. They gave each other a high five and Dakota giggled.
“Well, that was uncalled for.” Shane wiped off her face.
“What about you two?” Fred asked Bette and Tina.
“Us?” Tina stammered. “Well…. we’re doing fine.”
“I can see that. But have you talked about getting married again?” Shane asked.
“Maybe we’re mentioned it….” Tina said, looking at Dakota as a signal not to talk about it in front of her. Shane caught the sign and nodded slightly.
“Looks like you’re off the hook now, but later I’ll ask the same question again.” She said raising her eyebrows. “I can tell this is a sensitive subject.”
“You have no idea.” Bette muttered.
“And don’t give me that look, Kennard.” Shane sassed. “I didn’t travel all this way for your stubbornness.”
“Then what did you travel all this way for?” Tina threw back at Shane.
“To make sure you two were staying in line.”

Yay I’m glad you are continuing! I love this story it’s so sweet. I think the wedding needs to happen and Tina will soon realize that. Great update can’t wait for more! :)
i am so glad you decided to write..i hope Tina say yes i do..lol..cant wait for next chapter..thanks
So glad to see you story back up/ Seems like when we find a good writer and story. Puff they are gone. Thanks hope Tina will say yes.
Far,
As always you have surpassed yourself with this latest installment.
You have no idea how happy I am to see that you will continue on with this work of genius.
How is so few words you manage to capture so much depth of emotions and feelings is awesome.
The interaction between all the character totally blows me away. It is so genuine and lifelike.
The way Dana and Alice never change. The way Shane sees through all the smoke and mirrors to get to the heart of the matter. The way Bette and Tina connect. The way Tina is holding back just a little bit of herself to protect her heart. The way Bette hums and haws before diving in and splashing about as she propose.
All of this makes this a master piece.
I just want to lay back and bask in its glory then grin insanely for the rest of the day as I recall all of the scenes.
Thank you for sharing this talent with me.
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Feel free to spin and twist the characters in all directions because I know that they are safe in your callable hands.
“Why?”
To make an honest child out of Dakota, that’s why!
Thanks!
Very pleased that you are going to continue this story. It has been like looking at a family album and reminiscing and there are still so many pages left to be filled.
Dakota was so cute in her desire to be the big kid on the block, but still such a child when faced with the reality of such a small baby.
Fear lingers…so true for both of them. Communication will continue to be their key to strengthening the bonds of their relationship. Looking forward to more.
thanks for the update and for not bringing it to a close yet. Loved the hesitation and the fears they both still feel. More please.
Realy enjoy reading your story. Waiting for more.
didn’t know that you were entertaining ending this story but so happy to know that it will be continuing. awesome update and thanks!
Yay! It’s back! Great bit with the ‘adult’ Dakota, who then reverted to a little girl when someone littler came alone. Looking forward to what’s next with B&T. Very happy to hear it’s not the last. Spin on…can’t wait.
Thank you for continuing this fine story of yours! I was so happy to see that you posted today.
I really enjoy the little Dakota – she is certainly a very fun addition to the family. But will B & T have another one? and I hope they work out Bette’s marriage proposal. Looking forward to many more exciting chapters with your expert spin on them.
As always …. five heart shaped cookies neatly wrapped and tied with a bow and sent with a huge smile! Thanks again for writing!
No she didn’t so “why” ummm I thought that was a yes or no question???
Poor bette sitting there saying to herself your sunk my battleship LMAO
Far it’s so good to have you back, it’s fucking awesome to know your staying.

Excellent as always. Just love it so much. I hope Tina says yes eventually.
I guess the answer is not always YES or NO, sorry.. we have, why? we can have When? or uumm, i need to think about it..
I’m glad this is going to go longer.. i love this story.. you did a great job since chapter one..
I get so happy when I see you have posted :). I want the wedding, and adopting a new baby (that’s my two cents). And more Dana and Alice too.
Yay! I come back from a few weeks away from the internet and I get two wonderful chapters from Fareast. They were beautiful, and I am SO HAPPY that you are continuing the story :) and congrats on the award, I had my fingers crossed for you.
