Tina: “Agreed, so what does this, Dylan, look like? Is he what we’re looking for? and Why is he interested in donating to two people he doesn’t even know?”

Bette: “Ok to answer your questions. First, he’s tall and handsome with similar features to you. Blond hair, green eyes, etc. Which makes him perfect if we’re using my egg because then the baby will look lik you and I. He’s an incredible painter, but doesn’t like to show his work. It’s a shame because from what I’ve seen he’s extremely talented. And as far as his reasons, I don’t know ,but he said that he would like to sit down and talk with both of us, personally, before making any decisions. So that sounds thoughtful, right?”

Tina: “Yeah, he sounds great.”

Bette: “Tina, I think he is better than we could have asked for. Also, he wants to have dinner with us tomorrow night so he can meet you and talk with us. I explained to him that we are ready to get this thing going ASAP, but we’re waiting to find a donor. He said if we all decide to go through with this he would be willing to go to the cryobank as early as next week to donate.”

Tina: “Damn, he sounds almost too good to be true.”

Bette: “I know, I think you’re going to love him and I can’t wait to have this baby with you.”

Tina looks thoughtfully into Bette’s sparkling eyes, “I love you so much. Thank you for working so hard to make me happy.”

Bette kisses Tina’s hand, “No, thank you…..for being my wife and giving me the honor of making you happy.”

Chapter 15……………………

Bette: “Babe, please hurry we’ll never make the reservation at this rate.”

Tina: “I’m trying…..just let me finish my eyeliner…..I want to look good. You know? Make a good first impression.”

Bette folds her arms across her chest and leans up against the frame of the bathroom door. She watches attentively as Tina carefully applies the finishing touches to her make-up.

Bette: “T…..you look beautiful.”

Tina: “I told you, I’m almost done. You don’t have to rush me.”

Bette: “No, I wasn’t. I was just watching you and the thought occured to me that it’s been so long since I just stood back and really appreciated all that you are. You are captivating…..you still take my breath away. I can’t describe the feelings that wash over me at the mere sight of you. You’ll never know just how lovely you are.”
