Tina pulls back taking both hands to Bette’s head with hands full of her hair… blowing out the breath she had seem to have been holding sense Bette started talking. I Love you Bette Porter.

Bette Smiles  and says And I love you Tina Kennard…

Tina also says.. My ring is the most gorgeous ring I have ever laid eyes on Bette

Well I am glad you like it because I thought the same thing. Tina is now thinking….

Bette sees this and says .. What?

Just when did you see it I have been with you this whole time except when you was snowed in well snowed out… she laughs

I saw it when I purchased you necklace and key ring in New York.

Saw it?  But it is here … How?

Well I was looking around while Ralph was getting your necklace ready, and I glanced into the engagement ring case and there it was staring back at me. When he came over to give me your gift   I told him I would be back for that … pointing to the ring ….soon. he asked what size and I told him size six and he said it will be waiting for me.

Tina smiles …First of all you’re on a first name bases with your jeweler

Bette laughs Yes!.. is there something wrong with that?…He was my father’s jeweler also and I usually get great prices.

No ..I guess I just never knew someone who was so close to their jeweler. But anyways you haven’t been back or have you?

No I haven’t

So how di….

Bette cuts her off… Peggy, at the airport I had called her and asked could she pick it up for me after I had talked with Ralph. That’s why I sent you to away and told you we were talking business …well we did talk about work for a few minutes but mostly to get the ring from her. But she was the only one who knew what I had planned.

And what did she think ?

About asking you or about the ring?  She says giggling..

Both I guess…giggling back

Well she ask me was I sure this is what I wanted… and I told her yes with all my heart, that I couldn’t turn back  that I could only go forward. And when she gave me the ring she had to take one last look at it and said Tina is a very lucky lady to have someone love her this much. And I said NO I’m the lucky one because she found me, I had been looking for her my whole life and she found me first…and she said no she found her and then you found each other. And that she couldn’t be any happier if we were her own children.

Wow… all this was going on under my nose and I didn’t suspect a thing.

Good that’s how I wanted it…I have to say I was so nervous. I have been waiting for the best time to ask but it never seemed be the right time.

Tina smiles and says .. You did great baby and I love you with all my heart… kissing her

They part and Bette speaks…Tina, I want to give you your dreams…And I promise I will do my best to fulfill them…although three kids may be pushing it. Tina laughs

I know I saw your face when I said it, I Didn’t mean to scare you. And we don’t have to have three.

Bette smiles.. Your carrying them right? This causes Tina to bust out laughing

Kisses Bette… putting her forehead to hers …Yes Baby I’ll carry them ….kissing her again
