After a while Angie declared “Mommy I am hungry.” 

“Well let’s go fix a snack and then you can take a shower with Momma B.” 

“Can’t we go swimming instead?”  Angie asked with her puppy dog eyes. 

Tina and Bette both just laughed.  “What do you think Momma B?  Would you like to take Angie swimming?”

The smile that lit Bette’s face was blinding.  “Yes, I would love to take my Boo swimming.  Let’s get a snack first and then we can go put on our swim suits.”

Tina went to the kitchen and cut up some fruit while Bette got bottled water and a juice box out of the frig.  The family sat down for their snack and then spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the pool. 

Later that night, Bette did what she had been wanting to do since she found out she had a daughter.  She lay in bed with Angie while Tina sat on the other side and read her daughter a bedtime story.  Angie snuggled under her covers and savored the love of her two mommies.  As the story ended, Angie was almost asleep.  Bette leaned down and kissed her daughter good night.  “Sleep tight Boo.”

“Will you be here in the morning momma?”  A sleepy Angie asked.

“Yes Boo.  I will be here in the morning.  You have sweet dreams tonight.”  Bette said as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

“Ok momma.  I wuv you.”  Angie yawned.

“I love you too Boo.”  Bette smiled.

Tina leaned over and kissed Angie too.  “Sweet dreams baby girl.  I love you.”

Angie was already in dream land. 

Tina reached for Bette’s hand and led her to their bedroom.  They both looked at each other and smiled contently.  Both knowing they were home.  They went through their nightly routine and then snuggled safely in their bed.  “Oh Bette, you don’t know how many nights I have laid here dying to hold you in my arms.  I will never take this for granted again.  Just being with you is so special Bette.  You never realize that until it is too late.  Do you know how lucky we are to have found each other yet again?”  The emotions of the day were finally taking their toll as Tina broke down and cried.

Bette simply pulls her tighter into her loving embrace and whispers “it’s all right T.  Let it out babe.  I am here to catch you.  I will just hold you for a while.”

After a little while, Tina began to calm down.  Bette reached up and wiped away the tears from her face with her thumbs and slowly leaned in and kissed her lips.  “mmm I have dreamed of that too babe.”  Tina sighed. 

“Let me love you T” and with that they began a slow but passionate night of loving.  They were finally home and everything was going to be alright.  They had each other and they had their friends and family.
