Her Portrait Is Black and White

Bette's Want

Tina was working with her head down, she was working on the final piece for Peggy. It had taken her a month to do the set. Each picture was full of detail and she had made sure to frame the photograph and the drawing together. She had also done something that Bette found very clever she had drawn Peggy into each way of the pictures. She was in the window of each skyline and she was wondering how long it would take Peggy to see it.

Bette walked in, she had just arrived home. She had checked on Xavier and sent the nurse home. She now came out. She grinned at her wife.

"Finished?"

"Yeah nearly, did you have a good day babe?" Tina asked as she finished the last bit and put it beside the photo as they would need to scan that last one.

Bette smiled, she'd been for a check up today with her doctor, just a regularly medical to ensure that her insurance was valid, she'd had a long chat with her doctor and had decided it was time for her to ask for something she wanted. Her life was finally settling. She felt like her doctor had told her enough.

"It was good, quiet at the gallery." Bette smiled.

Tina could read that something else was on her wife's mind,

"Wanna talk about it?"

"What?" Bette asked, cocking her head to one side to look at her wife.

"Something is on your mind babe?"

"A lot of things, shall we go in,"

"Let me shut down the studio, why don't you get changed,"

"Okay,"

Bette turned and walked back towards the house, her mind was racing with so many thoughts. She was coming to many conclusions. She was starting to ask herself the right questions.

Tina smiled softly, before closing the studio up for the evening, making sure everything was in place fo the morning. She locked the place down and walked towards the house. Heading into the kitchen she started to put together a meal for her and Bette. Nothing special just a light salad with some warm chicken and home made dressing that she had made the day before.

Bette walked down the stairs in jeans and tank top her hair pulled back, while Tina had been closing up Bette had decided to have a shower. She hoped it would put her thoughts into order.

"This looks good honey," Bette grinned sitting at the dinning table,

"It's just a salad," Tina smiled, sitting down and picking her own fork up. "What's playing on your mind babe?" Tina asked softly.

"You know today was my medical."

"Everything is okay right?" Tina panicked a little,

"I'm fine, sorry that wasn't what I should have led with,"

"No you shouldn't" Tina smiled softly

"I asked her some questions, I'm forty nearly forty-one and I know I'm fit and well but..."

"What is it?" Tina asked putting her fork down it was very unlike her wife to be this nervous. "You know you can talk to be about anything,"

"I'm not getting any younger Ti and I don't want Xavier to be an only child. I want to know the joys and pains of being pregnant," Bette almost whispered.

Tina smiled softly.

"You want us to have another child?"

"I want to carry our second child." Bette replied softly.
