Our Family, Our Friends.

The phone ran waking up Bette and Tina.

Tina: Doctor Kennard.
Alice: Morning doc.
Tina: Hey morning Alice what time is it?
Alice: Its 8:00 a.m. Did the moms get in?
Tina: yeah, we are going to the gardens today, well me, mom and Katherine are, Bette and Erin are doing something else.

Bette rolled over and started kissing Tinas stomach.
Tina: laughing and pushing Bette away. So you want to with us Al? Help us plan seating, arrange the gardens. Tina is laughing as Bette is now licking her stomach and moving up to her *****.
Alice: Yeah! That will be fun. Whats so funny? Jesus is Porter trying to take advantage of you while youre on the phone?
Tina: Yep. Giggling.
Alice: Christ do you two ever stop? Shes supposed to be giving that hand a rest.
Tina: The other hand is still able. Laughing.
Alice: I forgot, with Porters talents you just need one hand and her mouth.
Tina: I gotta go Al. Be here at 10:00. laughing. Bye.
Alice: Bye, enjoy your breakfast.

Tina hung up and turned to Bette.
Bette: Alice?
Tina: Mmm. Bette slid up and kissed her. Baby hows your hand?
Bette: Better. Lets go get that x-ray so I can take this damn thing off.
Tina: Wait a minute lets enjoy each other for another minute, you know while we can still be alone.
Bette: Mm, okay. She pulled her close as they looked into each others eyes. They kissed and touched each others faces and places.
Tina: I smell coffee that means our moms are up.
Bette: Yes, it also means we better get up.

They kissed again, letting it get a little more passionate than they should of.
Tina: Mm. baby lets go get in the shower. Ill help you, theyll never know. But you have to be quiet.
Bette: Are you sure? Im not the one to worry about. Youre the vocal one. She winked at her.
They tiptoed to the bathroom and got in the shower. Tina undressed Bette and unwrapped her hand, then herself. They let the water cascade over them, Tina took the wash cloth and soap and ran it over the important parts of Bette, and then Bette did the same to Tina. They started kissing as they were enjoying the touch of one another.

Tina went to her knees, kissing Bettes thighs; she put one of Bettes legs up on her shoulder. She then took Bette in her mouth; she entered her with her tongue. She held Bettes hips to steady her. Tina continued sucking, licking and ***** her with her tongue until the moment of release came. As Bette exploded a low moan escaped from her throat. Tina licked up her juices until Bette pulled her up. Bette took her face in her hands and kissed her deeply.

Bette: Thank you for taking care of me the last few days T.
Tina: My pleasure babe. Im always going to take care of you.
Bette: Well it was actually my pleasure, Ill pay you back later, and I owe you big time.
Tina: I know, Im looking forward to it and Im keeping track. She laughed.

Bette went to the bedroom with Tina following her. They got dressed and joined the family in the dining room.

Maggie: Good morning.
Katherine: Conserving water today are we? Katherine and Maggie smiled at each other.
Bette almost dropped her coffee cup. She turned bright red as did Tina.

Bette: Oh my god, Im so embarrassed. Bette looked at Tina for an answer. Tina just stood there with a nervous look.
Katherine: its okay Bette, I think its great. You two cant seem to ever get enough of each other. Has it always been this way?
Maggie: Yes, I mean since Ive met Bette it has.
Tina: finally finding her voice. Yes, it has since day one. Blushing.
Katherine: Hopefully it always will be.

Erin came out then, already dressed and ready.
Tina: Youre up early.
Erin: Im going to spend the day with Bette. Shes going to help me with my photos.
Bette: Yeah we are going to go to the gallery, and do some other things, like plan the honeymoon and stuff.
Erin: Cool, I get to help?
Bette: Yep! Oh and Tina and I wanted to ask you something, T go ahead.
Tina: Erin, Bette and I would like you to be the photographer at our ceremony. Would you be interested?
Erin: OH my god! Yes! Id love to, are you sure? Im not a professional.
Bette: Yes, were sure. Ill show you some tricks and things. Youll be great.

Bette and Tina went to the clinic and re-x-rayed Bettes hand.
Tina looked over the x-ray. She took it and Bette down the hall to her partner Dr. Goodman.
Tina: Bette this is one of my partners Elliot Goodman, hes our orthopedic doc here.
Bette: Nice to meet you Dr. Goodman.
Elliot: Call me Elliot, so youre Bette nice to finally meet you. Tina talks about you all the time.
Bette: Only good things I hope.
Tina: kissed her cheek. Of course.

Elliot looked at the x-ray and then examined Bettes hand.
Elliot: I think its going to be fine, no fractures the earlier film showed a questionable spot but I dont see it now. I believe its just very bruised and will take time, but youll be fine.
Bette: No more splint?
Elliot: Not unless if feels better with it on.
Bette: ***** no!
He laughed. Tina and Bette thanked him and were leaving.

Elliot: Lets get together for dinner sometime. Jason loves your gallery Bette; I think the four of us would have a good time.
Bette: That sounds good. Tina and I would love to get together some night.
Tina: Ill talk to you later Elliot. Thanks again.
They left and Bette turned to Tina
Bette: Whos Jason?
Tina: His partner, lover. Hes *****.
Bette: Oh, we should take them to dinner. A thank you for seeing me.
Tina: Sure well do that.

They went home. Alice was already there.
Tina: Hi Alice.
Alice: Hey guys, hows Sugar Ray today?
Bette: Not broken, she smiled.
Katherine: Thats good.
Tina: She can go without the splint. She kissed Bette. But be careful baby.
Alice looking at Erin made a gagging gesture. Erin laughed.
Erin: You crack me up Al.
Tina: So we all ready?

She hugged Bette and whispered in her ear.
Tina: Well se how good that hand is later. Okay?
Bette: Mmm, she kissed Tina. I think a little physical therapy might help.
Tina; well meet you for dinner, say at Rositas at 6:30
Bette: Perfect. I love you T, have fun.
Tina: love you, you too.

Bette and Erin got out Erins photos and Bette looked at each one, considering them all.
They were of people, things, nature. And they were very good.
Bette picked up one of a child playing in a park.

Bette: This is excellent, the light, the distance, the innocence, and this one I love this she picked up another, it was of a landscape with a lone tree in the distance.
Bette: Awesome, so lonely, so touching.
Erin: Really?
Bette: Yes these are all very good. She continued and explaining some subtle changes to one or two of them, but all in all she didnt need to. And the sketch of the sculpture was excellent.
Bette: This will be a moving piece when you finish.
Erin: I loose myself completely when I work on it.
Bette: It shows, you have a gift Erin.

Erin: You know during break this summer I was going to ask Tina if I could stay here for a week or two.
Bette: Of course you can, I mean if its ok with Tina, I bet I can get you a job at a gallery I know for awhile this summer.
Erin: she hugged Bette. Youre the best.

Tina, Alice and the moms were at the gardens they met Janelle the event planner. They walked thru the gardens and decided where to have the ceremony, where to seat people etc.

Bette and Erin were at the travel agency.
Erin: Where are you taking Tina for your honeymoon?
Bette: Somewhere shes always wanted to go, and some place I want to share and give to her.
Erin: thought for a moment. Well shes always dreamed of going to Italy.
Bettes eyes grew big and she smiled.
Erin: Youre taking her to Italy? No *****! Sorry, really Italy?
Bette: Yep, Italy.
Erin: Have you been there before?
Bette: Once during college. Its wonderful; I love Venice, and Rome. Great place to take pictures, that picture in my office and in the hall at our house, I took it when I was there.
Erin: Tinas going to love it.
Bette: Dont say a word Erin, please. I want it to be a complete surprise. Im not telling anyone else, not even your mom or mine. Ok?
Erin: I promise.

They left with the travel plans and Bette was quite pleased with herself.
Bette: Now lets go get Tina a gift.
They went to the jewelry store that knew Bette. She wanted to get something special. They looked at necklaces, bracelets, and ear rings.
Bette: Erin what do you think?
Erin: I like the bracelet, it looks like Tina.
Bette took the silver bangle bracelet, it did look like Tina, she told them what to engrave on the inside and told them that she would pick it up next week.
Bette and Erin went to the gallery then and looked around until time to meet the group for dinner.

Tina had Alice call Dana and Shane to meet them for dinner.
When 6:30 came Bette and Erin went to Rositas to find Tina, Alice, the moms, Dana and Shane laughing and having a good time.

Bette: laughing. Starting without us?
Alice: Porter you made it.
Erin hugged Dana and Shane.
Erin: Good to see you guys.
Tina: Well you two did you get some things done?
Erin smiled at Bette
Bette: Yes we did, a lot actually.

The waitress came and Katherine ordered.
Katherine: Bring us two pitchers of margaritas, one lime and one strawberry.
Bette: Mom you dont..
Katherine: I know, I want to, were celebrating.
Maggie: Katherine I should warn you, these girls can party, and especially our daughters.
Shane: shes witnessed it first hand.
Dana: we practically had to hose them down.
Tina: I thought this was a nice quiet dinner, not a party.

Alice: Well we can turn it to a party like that. She snapped her fingers. A waitress came over.
Alice: Tequila shots all around!
Then to the gang, raising her glass.
Alice: We love you guys; youre our family, so lets get this party started.
Maggie/Katherine raised their glasses and said. ***** ya!

Bette and Tina looked at each other and laughed.
Bette: Im driving, so Im not drinking.
Tina: Me too, Ive done enough partying lately.
They put their heads together forehead to forehead.
Bette: This is going to be funny.
Tina: Our moms and the girls drunk, so funny.
Bette: Well lets let them enjoy, it will be something well always remember.

Bette and Tina laughed and watched as Katherine and Maggie started taking the shots right along with the girls and chasing it with the margaritas.

About an hour later
Tina: laughing and whispering in Bettes ear.
Guess whos making the coffee in the morning?
