Bette appeared torn, desperate to find a reason to stop what they were doing no matter how badly her body protested.

"Angie-"

"-is sleeping" Tina finished for her and raised her eyebrows in challenge, daring the brunette to come up with something else.

She could tell Bette was making excuses and it wasn’t for lack of desire either. It was a subconscious thing but she was still slowly grinding against Tina , the thin fabric of her pajama bottoms moist at the center.

"What’s this about?" Tina asked softly, her eyes searching for an answer in Bette’s.

Before the brunette could answer, there was a light crackling coming from the baby monitor sitting on the coffee table, gaining the attention of both women. They immediately looked over to the device, silently waiting for what would soon follow. Sure enough Angie’s tired cries came though the small speaker, the sound growing louder with each passing second.

Bette looked to Tina and was met with an apologetic smile. So much for the sleeping baby girl.

Tina lifted her head to give Bette a tender kiss, "I’ll go check on her"

Bette nodded and lifted her body high enough for Tina to slide out from under, watching as she disappeared behind the wall.

"She’s teething" Tina called out as she made her way down the hallway 20 minutes later, "I gave her some medicine for the pain and she fell right back to sleep"

She walked into the living room to find Bette sitting upright on the couch, her hands at her sides. Her eyes had been tracing the designs of the rug in the center of the room when the blonde had entered, lifting them to
meet a pair of soft hazel orbs.

Tina walked over to Bette without a word and stood between the brunette’s semi-spread legs, her hands on either side of Bette’s neck. They stared at one another for minutes, both searching the other’s eyes for answers.

"What’s going on?" Tina finally asked, her thumbs lightly caressing Bette’s jawline.

It all sounded so stupid now that she was about to say it out loud and Bette found herself wishing she hadn’t hesitated in the first place.
