“Bette Porter chef extraordinaire” a very intoxicated Alice exclaimed gleefully.

“That’s nothing compared to what I’m about to do” Bette said obviously not thinking about what she was letting out of the bag.

“What are you drinking babe?” Tina interjected before Alice could catch on to their little secret.  They decided to have the insemination and wait until it took before telling everyone, she didn’t count on Bette getting drunk and making a premature announcement.

“Um” Bette looked at her drink then said “I think it’s a cosmo.”

“Ooh yummy” Tina looked at “may I have a taste?”  She flirted with Bette.

“Sure” Bette handed Tina the glass.  She watched Tina take a sip then licked her wet lips with the tip of her tongue.

“Mmm that’s good” Tina said never breaking eye contact.  ‘I’m so getting laid tonight’ was going through Tina’s mind.

“Great news everyone” Monique announced “I’m looking at buying a house, hopefully somewhere in Bette and Tina’s neighborhood.”

“Congrats” everyone said.

“Yeah I’m pretty excited, the social worker says all I need is a nice suitable home and then Ben can live with me full time.”  Monique told them while Jodie looked proudly at her.

“She’s a great mother” Jodie kissed her on the cheek.

“These are really good people” Molly told Shane as they were serving up more drinks.

“Yeah they are” Shane said trying to remember how to make a slippery nipple for the group shots.

“You’re surrounded by your best friends” Molly looked at Shane.

“They’re not my best friends” Shane said as she licked the Bailey’s from her finger tip, “they’re my family.”

“Right” Molly nodded “the one thing you missed out on, growing up.”

“What?”  Shane looked at her in confusion.

“Family” Molly said again, “This is you in your element, and I think it’s amazing.  It must have difficult growing up without a family.  I can see why you don’t like being tied down in relationship.”

“Um here” Shane handed her the shots to give out “start passing these out.”  She wanted to change the subject.

From across the street four individuals sat in a black car with dark tinted windows.
