Chapter 92

Jackie said hello to Kit and then went to Tina’s hospital bed and whispered to Bette and Tina. “Tina – Sunshine – wake up – you have company…”

Bette’s eyes opened first. Tina took a little longer. They were both exhausted.

Kit walked over to the bed. She looked at Taylor and Dylan. “Oh my God – they’re beautiful….” She leaned forward and kissed Bette. “Congratulations baby girl – what beautiful babies!” Then she kissed Tina. “Tina – my God they’re gorgeous.

The babies both began to stir a little bit – but they didn’t totally wake up.

Kit looked at the babies again. “Bette – Dylan looks exactly the way you did when you were born…he looks just like you. Now how the ***** did you do that?”

“Just luck I guess.” Bette smiled a broad smile. It really felt good to hear that repeatedly. The donor that she and Tina picked certainly was a good choice.

“And my God – a little blonde – amazing!” Kit smiled – she was a happy aunt!

“Yeah – that’s my little T – looks like her mommy – don’t you think?” Bette was so proud.

“Yes -she does – adorable.” Kit smiled back at Bette.

“Kit – would you like to hold them?” Tina offered – not really wanting to let either of them go – but knowing she couldn’t hold them forever. “But – you have to wash your hands first!”

Kit went to wash her hands. She returned a few moments later. “Ok – hand over one of them!”

Tina handed Taylor to Kit.

“Look at that precious little face….just beautiful Tina – great job mommy. Was labor and delivery terrible?”

“Ask Bette if you can see her hand!”

Bette raised her bruised hand and showed it to Kit.

“OUCH! Tina – did you do that to my little sister?”

“Afraid so! I’m not proud of it!”

“So I take it that labor was bad then?”

“I don’t really remember – or maybe I don’t care to remember…It’s over -that’s what matters! Aren’t the babies just perfect?” Tina looked at Taylor and then at Dylan. She smiled warmly.

Bette decided to comment on the labor and delivery experience. “Ah Kit – yeah – labor was pretty intense. My hand took the bulk of Tina’s – ummmmm – ah – wrath.” Tina smacked Bette on the head.

“Hey – no fair – I’m holding Dylan. You can’t smack me if I’m holding a baby!”

“Can to – if the baby is sleeping!” Tina grinned at Bette.

What could Bette do but smile back at her? Bette leaned over and kissed Tina. Their eyes locked – they looked at each other intently. Bette whispered. “I love you Sweetheart!”

“I love you too Baby!”

Kit studied Taylor. What a lovely child she was – the best traits of both of her parents. “Ok – now do I get to hold my nephew?”

Tina took Taylor from Kit and Bette handed Dylan to her.

“Look at him – handsome! The resemblence to you, Bette, is uncanny…he’s beautiful. ***** – you looked just like this when you were a baby – I still want to know how you two pulled this off.”

Tina looked at Kit and smiled. “Good old number 69!”

“Excuse me?”

“The donor was number 69.”

“You’re shittin’ me – right?”

Tina giggled. “Nope – number 69!”

“That’s funny! So Bette – 69 appears to have been ….never mind! These are the two most beautiful children I’ve ever seen….”

At that moment someone else arrived. Arms full of balloons and flowers.

“Daddy! It’s so great to see you.” Bette gave Melvin a hug. “How did you know ? I was going to call you in a little while to tell you.”

“Kit called to tell me. I’m glad she did.” Melvin smiled and walked over to Jackie and said hello. He then went over to Tina. He kissed her gently on the forehead. “Tina – congratulations. So – do I get to hold my grandchildren?”

“Ah…sure…DAD…but you have to wash your hands first.” Tina still could not believe Melvin’s mood – how loving he was being. Alien possession – that had to be it – had to be!

Melvin went to wash his hands. Tina handed Taylor to him. “Dad – this is Taylor…your grandaughter.”

“She’s beautiful – she looks like you Tina – gorgeous.” Melvin handed Taylor back to Tina and then went over to Kit. Kit handed Dylan to him. “What a handsome little boy – you know Bette – you….”

“I know – I looked just like Dylan when I was a baby…so I hear!”

“The resemblence is uncanny!”

“So I keep hearing!” Bette smiled. She too wondered how long Melvin would be able to keep this up. Maybe his attitude toward her life with Tina and the reality of how the babies came to be was something he really did accept.

Melvin handed Dylan back to Bette. “I have something for each of the babies.” Melvin handed Bette two checks. Each of them was made out for $20,000. “I want you to start college funds for both of them. That’s my gift to them.”

“Thank you Daddy!” Bette threw her arms around Melvin. “Thank you so much!”

Bette looked at Tina. Tina mouthed “W..O..W!” to Bette…..She raised her eyebrow. Melvin was certainly losing his mind! She thought to herself that Bette should run directly to the bank and deposit them before he came back to his senses.

Bette and Tina must have looked exhausted. Jackie, Melvin and Kit all decided to leave at the same time so they could be alone and rest before the Babies woke up and the girls arrived.

Jackie was the last to leave. She kissed them both goodbye. “I’m going to tell the nurses that you two need some time to yourselves – an hour or so. If the girls show up during that time – they can wait. You need some family time. Jackie winked at Bette. I love all of you very much. Call me later ok?”

“Sure mom…thank you.” Tina smiiled at Jackie.

Jackie left the room and closed the door behind her.

Bette and Tina put the babies down to sleep. They were sound asleep.

Tina got into bed. Bette stood looking out the window.

“Baby….come here.” Tina motioned for Bette to join her in bed.

Bette walked over to the bed. She climbed in and laid down facing Tina. “I love you T. Are you tired?”

“Yeah – I am. But I just want to be with you for awhile before I go to sleep.” Tina moved her hand up to Bette’s face and caressed her cheek. “You’re so beautiful Baby…” She moved her hand down and touched Bette’s nose and then her lips. Bette kissed Tina’s fingers. She moved her hand down and then up under Bette’s t-shirt. Her hand gently caressed Bette’s *****. “Does that feel good Baby?”

“Tina – I – ahhhh…..God Tina…are you sure you ….you aren’t supposed to….”

“I’M NOT – but you can – so….I figured….”

Tina moved her hand down Bette’s body and into her sweat pants.

“God Tina…here?”

“You have a problem with it? Don’t tell me you don’t want it…”

“I…ok…yeah….I want it…you….”

When Tina’s hand reached its destination, Bette was wet. “God Baby…you.re so wet….” She slipped two fingers into Bette and used her thumb to rub her on the outside. Bette moaned and buried her face into the pillow. Tina kept up a steady pace with her fingers. As Bette became more and more excited, Tina increased the rate at which her fingers moved. She could tell Bette was very close. Bette breathing was becoming labored. She kissed Bette just as she felt her contract around her fingers. Bette moaned into Tina’s mouth.

Tina removed her hand from Bette’s sweat pants. She looked into Bette’s eyes. There was so much love and passion in them. They smiled at each other and shared another kiss before they both fell asleep.
