Tina: And what is that, Mrs. Kennard??

Bette: You aren’t leaving my fucking sight at all, Mrs. Porter! I will be at your side non stop, well almost non stop and I will be monitoring what you will be doing as cooking is concerned. I’m getting rid of the wine, beer, and any alcohol beverage. You aren’t having a single drop for a long time!

Tina (laughing): Not only are you becoming my wife, but parent as well?

Bette (in a dead serious tone): I am serious, Tina. I really do not want to lose you and this is the only way for me to do this. I know you are joking, but this is really not funny, I love you, T.

Tina (putting her hand on Bette’s lap): I love you too, B and I’m sorry for the joke, I was trying to lighten up the moment, but I do understand.

Bette: Good, because this isn’t only for us, but for Angie as well. She needs both of her mothers. We need to be a family.

(About a half hour later, Bette and Tina got home and Bette made her calls, her eyes never leaving Tina, who was lying down the couch. Bette called her older half sister Kit, telling her what had happened and Kit agreed to take care of Angelica a few more days and gave Tina her love. Then Bette called Alice and asked if she could call the moving men and to ask for them to move the furniture out of Tina’s place and into the house, also keeping an eye on them so nobody will still anything. Alice agreed and would stop by the house to get Tina’s keys to the house and to her car, so Shane could drive it back to the house. After getting off the phone, Bette went to the couch and lifted Tina gently so she could sit down and have Tina’s head in her lap. Bette began to stroke Tina’s blonde hair and Tina had a dreamy smile across her face.)

Tina (sighed): You haven’t kissed me on the lips yet, please give me one.

Bette (softly): My pleasure.

(Bette bent her head down to kiss Tina softly on the lips, her tongue gently flickering across Tina’s teeth, begging for her to open her mouth. Tina did and Bette slipped her tongue in, savoring its sweetness. Tina moaned softly and obviously was enjoying Bette’s French kissing. Bette pulled away for a moment to get up from the couch and pulling Tina up with her.)
