After being with Bette for over 11 months now Tina still had to tell her family. Her and Bette had just moved into there new home together and Tina knew the time was coming to go home and tell the familyArriving home first she picked up the mail and went into the house.checking her mailwow whats this Oh my God I havent heard from her in yearsWow 25 yearswell I guess I will be going home sooner then I thought. Ill tell Bette tonight after dinner

Babe .I think I am going to go home this weekend to tell my parents ..good Ill come home early on Friday and well goBette please dont be mad, but I want to go by myself..after they know then we can go down for a visit..Bette really didnt like this.are you sure Tina.yeah I think its the best way..I also got an invitation for a 25 Wedding Anniversary Party..I used to spend a lot of time at one of our neighbors ..Her name is Amanda..while growing up my mom would work a lot and Lisa my sister was in day care so Amanda knew this and she would have me come to her house until my mom would come home..In fact she is the one who taught me how to cook.See now I would love to meet her and thank her for thatHer and her husband George had 2 sons..Amanda wanted a girl so bad.I would go over and play with the boys and she would help me with my homework.one day I made a mistake and called her mom..she pulled me in close and said I could call her mom anytime..so when we were alone I would call her mom..and I was her adopted daughter..I also remember the day she told me she was pregnant and as she got bigger she would let me feel the baby kick..she would say I think this is a girl..everything was differentwell when Johnny was born she called me and said well I still have you for a daughtereven when the years passed and I was in high school I would still go over her house.again she told me she was pregnant.I was so happy and she lit up..she told me a lot of so-called friends told her she was crazy—–what another one—-and all kinds of remarks. She told me when 2 people love each other children are a gift from God..sounds like a special lady..Yeah she is .and because of that not many people knew she was pregnant..Ill never forget that Christmas Eve.I was over her house helping her with all the desserts and preparing for Christmas dinner…so we were cleaning up we just finished and all of a sudden she looked funny.told me to wait and went into the bathroom and came out and asked me to stay with the boysI called my mom and she wasnt too happy but understood why I would be late..well that night at about 7:30 Amanda gave birth to her 4th son.Michael he was so cute he weighed only 5 pounds when she took him home. I love that family and then through the years college work .well you know time goes by. And now its their 25th Anniversary and she invited me and a guest .

Thats why I have to go home and tell my family by myself..please Bette let me do thisI dont have a choice..Go..Bette you know I love you I just dont want anything bad said to you.Taking Bette into her arms and kissing her you know we still have tonight and tomorrow morning before I leave.You know I cant stay mad at you.holding each other.lets hit the showers——-Its going to be a long night.as they undress along the way never letting go of each other.They made love all night and when they woke up made love again.

Tina knew this was love and not a mistake and if her family didnt support her thats their problem.she loves Bette and Bette loves her.As she pulled into her parents drive way she held her head up high..Im just going to tell them——–so either I will be here all day or Ill be leaving shortly

Well needless to say her father didnt take the news of his daughter loving another women too well. Her mother said dont worry honey its just a phase.move back home and Ill fix you up with that nice boy from down the streetno one will ever know..Tina stormed out of her parents home..her home—the place where she grew up—-the place where she felt safe—-was no longer that—–home—-No HOME for her was with Bette and only Bette..as she walked to her car her sister came running out after her Tina wait please

Tina turned around OK lets have it—you hate me too..Please Tina just walk with me.Please—so they walked across the road and down to the park..Tina .Do you love her? More that youll ever know. When can I meet her? Why? Tina just because Mon and Dad are ***** holes..I just thank God that we missed that gene..Tina stopsso youre ok .***** yeah..as long as you are happy thats all that matters.they both hug.I cant tell you how happy you made me ..and by the way remember that pact we made as kids..we made so many which one are you talking about? I will need my Maid of Honor by my side in 2 years..What.He asked you Yeah.but no one knows yetand now I will let those two stew even longer .what about Bill.what if he doesnt—–dont even think that..he is not that closed minded.plus he thinks you are so HOT ..So any pictures.Yeahwait till you meet Bette.Oh my God Tina she is beautifulwhat a body.smiling yeah I know.so Tina I have to ask..Tina just looks at her sister with a smileHows the *****?????
