“What are you trying to say Tina?” Bette asked confused and a little taken back by Tina’s sudden introvert.  

“Can we wait a little a while? Do you think we can wait after both our schedules are clear? I know you’re busy at the gallery with the show and I’ve got few films wrapping up.” Tina and Bette had already discussed that Tina would remain working until Tina felt it was going to cause her and the baby harm. “Bette I just feel like it would be great for both of us, if we did this without work getting in the way. You know how it was last time for us…” Tina lowered her head not wanting to get into the past. One of the main reasons they started to drift was because they weren’t spending as much time together and Tina felt alone with Bette busy at work all the time.

Bette smiled, relieved that Tina hadn’t changed her mind about having a baby and rubbed her shoulders lovingly. She understood why Tina had asked for this and knew exactly what Tina was referring to—before everything was centered on having a baby and not them being able to connect with one another.  “Baby I think that’s a great idea.” She rubbed Tina’s shoulder and kissed her behind her neck. “I’m fine with that. I’ll be able to spend more time with you.” She smiled and leaned back. “Do you still want to tell the girls?”

Bette and Tina were at the Planet waiting for Shane, Alice and Dana. Shane was the first to arrive.

"Good morning." Shane smiled, lifting her espresso in one hand taking a seat across from them.

"It is a great morning indeed." Bette looked to Tina with dreamy eyes.

Shane grinned unable to stop from saying the words. "You totally got laid!"  Bette shrugged causing Tina to blush and hit her on the arm.

A few minutes later Alice and Dana arrived joining them at the table.

"So what’s the big news Porter that made you wake us all up this early in the morning?" Alice said taking off her dark sunglasses revealing dark circles around her eyes.
