Bette returned the gaze, smiling down at the beautiful blonde with so much adoration that Dr. Wilson was floored with the love she saw there. She was afraid to move or even breathe, not wanting to ruin the moment between the two women.

Bette and Tina smiled at each other without a word, happy for the life growing inside Tina as well as being able to share something so sacred together. They felt closer than they ever had before.

It wasn’t until Dr. Wilson accidentally dropped the instrument that Bette and Tina were able to tear their gaze away from one another, shifting their bodies in their embarrassment.

Bette’s phone buzzed in her pocket and she pulled it out to see that Janice was calling her. She had planned to forward it to her voicemail but Tina who had noticed the caller ID nodded that it was okay to answer the call.

"It could be about the gallery"

Bette had been slightly reluctant but she was also still a little winded from the intense stare she and Tina had, finding that some fresh air suddenly didn’t sound so bad. Bette found that she needed a bit of time alone to collect herself.

With a small smile and a single nod, Bette excused herself out of the room to take Jan’s phone call. Tina watched Bette leave before focusing her attention back on Dr. Wilson who had been quiet throughout the entire ordeal, ready to finish the examination.

Bette and Tina strolled through the courtyard of Tina’s apartment complex, playfully bumping against each other along the way. They walked in a relatively comfortable silence, the bliss from the day’s earlier events still humming through their bodies.

"Do you wanna come in?" Tina asked once they had reached her door, nervously fiddling with her keys.

Bette looked at Tina in brief surprise before smiling at the blonde, trying her best to hide her excitement. She hadn’t been ready for the day to end and was happy to hear that Tina hadn’t been either.

"Sure"

With a smile of her own, Tina unlocked the front door to her apartment and stepped in as she held the door open for the brunette behind her.
