Tina sighed relief and looked to Bette who had moist eyes. She knew having Alice’s blessing meant a lot to her. They had known each other longer than she knew Bette.

“Thanks Al. thank you all really for everything.” Bette said.

“Whoa! Who said you’re entitled to be god mother?” Dana asked, suddenly realizing what Alice had just said.

“Duh Dana!” Alice rolled her eyes. “Bette and Tina their together in the first place you know, because I ditched Bette.”

Bette coughed. “If I remember right I dumped you because I was sure I had met the love of my life!”

Alice narrowed her eyes but knew she had lost. “Anyways I said I was honored to be ‘earth mother’ not ‘godmother!’ I don’t believe in god you all know that.”

Shane watched on shaking her head at Alice’s juvenileness.

“So are you guys using Marcus’ sperm?” Alice asked.  

"Yes we are. And you guys, I’m really glad that you all are so supportive of us after you know… all that’s happened." Tina’s voice faded reminded of her infidelity. She still got a little uncomfortable around her friends knowing that they knew that she had hurt Bette so badly. Bette rubbed her back, letting her know it was in the past and that she was here for her.

Bette tried to lighten up the mood and looked to Dana. "And Dana I love you sweetie, but I don’t want to be having an intervention at my home when Tee and I are all hot, sweaty, and naked with Marcus’ magic juice. So try not disturbing us this time, got it?"

Alice sprayed her juice all across the table while Shane laughed and padded a red faced Dana on the arm.

"Babe that wasn’t very nice." Tina said giggling, not able to hold in her laughter any longer.

Bette acknowledged all the great women who surrounded her. She had been fortunate enough to have met them and get to know them. She started to get emotional. “I’m so happy right now. You all mean the world to me. You guys are my family.” Her eyes filled with tears.  There wasn’t a dry eye amongst them.
