After a few minutes of holding each other, they moved a bit apart and gazed into each other’s eyes and in that moment, they saw that the deep love that they had held for the other at one time had indeed returned and their hearts felt the walls tumble down even more. They held their gazes for a long moment savoring the feelings of love growing ever so abundantly in their hearts. Soon, their lips moved towards the other and they kissed a sweet but gentle kiss to reconnect their hearts.

Their exhaustion was soon talking to them louder than the elation of the reconnection could squeeze through to their souls. The couple realized that they now had time, lots of time to rekindle and reconnect. Bette could see the utter exhaustion in her wife’s eyes and as she looked, she could also feel her own. After one more, sweet kiss, they intertwined their bodies, arms and legs as much as possible and fell into a deep sleep.

They were woken up twice in the night to feed the newborn and in spite of being so tired they were both jubilant in taking care of her, being the new moms that they were.

After hearing the panic in Ozzie’s voice, Kit rose from her chair quickly and was the first one to get to the door and open it. What she saw ahead of her just about made her loose her breakfast. Her nephew was standing there, quite upset and crying, trying to talk but not being very successful with it. Blood was coming from his nose and was all over his clothes down his front… this was the most upset she’d ever seen him. She moved over to him as quickly as possible and was reaching to pick him up when he screamed, shook his head and put his arms up to prevent her from picking him up, “No, no, no! M-Me m-mess! B-Bloody!”

To her it didn’t matter because what he needed most was to be picked up, held and soothed. That is exactly what she did. “Baby Boy, it doesn’t matter to me as these are only clothes and can be washed. You need some attention and that’s exactly what I intend to do, take care of you.”
