Tina now stirred. Heymorning, babe. Oooooooooooooooh, whoa!

Whats the matter, T? What is it?

Tina took Bettes hand and lowered it to her belly and saw the look of wonder and glee spread across Bettes face. Your daughter just woke up, too. Youre going to have to teach her all about art, babe, because right now it seems her only interest is playing soccer and practicing field goals. Whoa, settle down, little one. Ill get some breakfast in there real soon.

Oh, my God, T. Thats incredible! Thats our kid!

Porter, you are so damn cute, I could eat you up realizing what she just said, Tina giggled and wiggled her eyebrows.

Bette smiled, too. Well, as much as Id like to give you that opportunity, youve got things to do today, Ms. Kennard, and at the moment Im not one of them. But hold that thought, okay? She pressed into Tina, leaned over and took Tinas earlobe between her lips and nibbled, moved her mouth up a bit and whispered, Good morning, T.

Want some coffee?

Oh, yeah, real strong and lots of it.

All right. Give me a few moments, do the hygiene stuff, and Ill put a little something together for us.and this kid.

Super. Okay if I just lie here until you finish in the bathroom?

Sure, babe.

Bette watched Tina as she padded to the bathroom. Umm, um, thats my dream come true, thought Bette. Part of her still couldnt believe she and Tina were back and giving their love another goyep, a real dream come true. A little voice in her mind whispered, Dont be an ***** this time around, Porter. Keep your eye on the prize.

Tina entered the bathroom, did all the mundane and routine things one does in the morning. The mirror in her bathroom was a full length horizontal across the sink. She looked up after she finished washing her face and saw her reflection staring back at her. Of course, unbeknownst to her what Bette had been thinking, the very same thought and then words came out, Christ, what a day that was.
