“Oh good, I’d rather be there early.  I wanted us to pick up those things we picked out from the catalog for the nursery”

“I’ve already taken care of things”

“Oh, did you order them?  I thought maybe it was something we could do together.”

“Don’t worry, there will plenty of things for us to do together”

“You’re right” she kisses Tina on the cheek.

     Bette drives from the doctor’s office holding Tina’s hand in her friend while driving with the other.  They had a good visit with the doctor and were told that everything looked good.  This made them happy as they couldn’t wait to welcome their daughter into the world.  They pull into Bette’s driveway and Bette helps Tina out of the car and into the house.  She goes to check for any messages as Tina walks into the kitchen, Bette mentions as she walks down the hall toward the bedroom.   

“I think we need to get some groceries baby.  I haven’t been spending a lot of time here”

“Okay we’ll go in a little bit, I need to lie down”

“I’m just gonna check…..What the?”

     As Bette walked past the opened guest room door shocked to find the furniture missing, and she closely examined the boxes left in behind.  There in the middle of the room were crib that she and Tina picked out along with the curtains and other items for their baby’s nursery.  For the second time in less than twenty four hours, Bette’s breath caught in her throat.  She covered her mouth to quiet her sob as the tears flowed, at that same time she felt two arms wrap around her waist and she turned around to embrace the source of her happiness.

“Is now a good time to bring up moving in together?  Did you really think I was going to do the sleepless nights by myself?”

Bette cried harder in response.  Tina kissed her forehead and caressed her face.

“I had the girls pick up the items yesterday and move them here”

“So how long have you planned this?”

“The second we gave us another chance”

     They held each other tightly and shared a kiss.  Bette pulled away suddenly and exclaimed.

“No wonder I didn’t get any messages from Alice”

“Yeah, that’s never happening again.  I don’t know what I would have done without them”

“What about the rest of your things?”

“They are packing the rest of my things as we speak and the movers will pick up tomorrow.” 

“God you’re just amazing, do you know that?”

“All without a list”

“I love you baby”

“I love you too babe.”
