B: God… I can’t imagine how it would be…

G: Maybe you both want to tell me something about yourself?

Bette and Carey looked at each other. Carey indicated that he would go first.

C: I study Physics. I don’t have a girlfriend. I have a lot of friends. I don’t really know what you want me to tell you…

Gwen smiled and looked at Bette.

B: Oh, my turn. I study Art History. I have a girlfriend and we have two kids. A twin. A boy named Johnny Shane and a girl named Grace Dylan.

G: Two kids? Why did you do that?

B: Well, she was pregnant when I met her and I adopted the children when they were born. They are only a week old.

G: How can you two go to school and have two little kids?

B: They live with Tina now and when they are 1 month they will come to me a few days in the week. After High School we are planning on buying an apartment near a University were we can both study and search for a nanny who wants to care 7 moth old kids.

G: How is Melvin?

C: He’s good. He is in Germany right now. Work or something, I don’t know.

Bette’s ringtone sounded.

B: Excuse me.

She stood up and walked to the hallway. She answered.

B: Bette Porter speaking.

T: Hey, Bette. It’s Tina…

B: Is everything all right?

T: Yes, yes.

B: Why are you calling?

T: Well, you are meeting your mother now… I just figured I should call and ask how it was going.

B: Oh, yes. Off course. Everything is fine. She is a great woman. She told us everything and I believe her. I’m going to ask for DNA – tests. But I’m pretty sure she is my mother.

T: I’m happy for you B.

B: How is everything going with your family?

T: They asked why you weren’t here and I told them that you were meeting your mother. They understand. Dad was in an awe of his grandchildren. My sister was telling me how much Grace looked like her daughter. We talked a lot and daddy seems fine with the fact that they have two moms. I hoped he would be but I didn’t expect it. He thinks it’s really great that you wanted to put your future in danger for me.

B: I would do anything for you, Tee.

T: You are amazing. Okay, go and get to know your mother a little better. I love you, babe.

B: I love you to, honey.

Bette closed her phone and walked back in the living room. Her brother and Gwen were laughing.

B: Sorry.

G: No problem. Come and sit with us.

They talked until 3PM. Five hours they stayed with Gwen but Bette wanted to check on her children and Gwen understood it. On their way to the door Bette decided to bring the DNA-test up.

B: Hey, Gwen. I really believe that you are my mother but I want it on paper, you know? I would like it if we did DNA-test.

Gwen looked at Bette and nodded.

G: I understand. I will do whatever you want me to. When can we do the test?

B: Next week maybe? Tina’s parents are here and I never met them before and I really need some time to process this.

G: Off course.
