“I was wondering what you felt about us seeing a Life Coach together to work out the stuff from the past so that we understand and learn from it and then let it go for good?” Bette asked her as Tina moved a little away from her to talk again.

“Do you have someone in mind to assist us with this?” Tina asked, feeling quite open to the suggestion and not at all threatened.

“Yes, I do… Ozzie and I both see a woman named Sonia who has been such a Godsend to us both in figuring out our lives. I honestly want to work hard on our relationship and as you want, make it the best one ever and for it to last for as long as possible. You can’t know of how elated I am that you are willing to make that sacrifice for us to be together…”

“Oh, I think that I have a pretty good idea about it… I love you Bette Kennard-Porter! Being with you makes me the happiest I’ve ever been in being with another person. Your energies meld so well with mine and I’ll work hard so that I won’t take my relationship with you for granted any more. I learned my lessons, unfortunately the hard way. I love you so big!”

Bette beamed at her wife, feeling such a strong love in her heart for this woman in her arms, also feeling confident that they would be able to work through the difficult days of their past, learn from them and then move forward with their life together with their babies. She took in another deep breath and let it out, smiling at her wife, and then kissed her on her forehead.

Soon the door opened up and in came the nurse with the bassinet carrying their newborn daughter in it. It was feeding time. The women both beamed at the sight of their daughter.

“Sorry to disturb you both, but little Missy here is hungry and in need of a feeding.” The nurse said to them. She pushed the baby and bassinet up to the bed. Bette let go of Tina and moved off of the bed. She was in need of the bathroom anyway and excused herself to use it as Tina fed the baby. After getting herself more presentable, she exited the bathroom in time to burp the baby girl and hold her while Tina used the facilities.
