how did it go..

Tina was unhappy about Bette touching her tummy as it rumbled through the night so she turned over and removed Bettes hand from her scar.

Bette lay awake for a while thinking about how she and Tina were going and where they might be going. Soon she was asleep and woke as she felt Tina jumping up. The girls were crying as they were in a strange room and wanted their mum.

By the time Bette got to them Tina was in bed beside them and was ticking them both. She stood at the door watching and smiling. She loved to see Tina happy and the way she laughed made Bette smile from ear to ear. It was a sound that Bette would love to get used to in her home, their home if Tina was willing someday.

Emma: Bette, come in and tickle mum, she’s too big for us

Tina: less of the big, wee one..

Tina chucked a pillow at Bette and smacked her on the head

Bette: right..this time Kennards, you have had it..

Lucy: oh no her she comes mum, quick under the covers

The 3 Scottish ones hid from Ms USA.

Bette: 3 on one eh.typical of you wee nations,

Tina: oh here comes the brutal might of Ms America.

Everyone was laughing and Bette managed to pin Tina down. She straddled her and was holding her down by pinning her wrists. Bette sat just below her jammie waist band and pushed her down onto the bed. Bette looked at Tina and for a split second and saw a change in her facial expression. Bette looked away and laughed at the girls.

Bette: ive got her, wee ones, she doesnt stand a chance now

The girls: mum, you are about to be tickled to the max

Bette turned her head back to Tina and she could see that Tina had tears in her eyes. At first she thought that they were of laughter from being tickled. However after a few seconds.

Tina: Betteget off me..please

The girls: ha ha mum come on you can get her

Bette: yeah come on Shortbread.where is your Brave heart now?

Tina: (tears spilling from her eyes).Bette please, stop itget off me

Tina began to struggle and gasp for air.

Bette noticed that Tina was not playing and she gently eased off her..

Tina: Bette, PLEASE. stop, GET THE ***** OFF ME..

Tina began to squirm and push at Bette. Bette let go and jumped back pushing the covers off them all. Tina sat up and turned away from the girls.

Tina: breakfast..come on.lets get home

Bette: hey you, Tina.

Tina had walked out of the room and into the kitchen.

Bette: Tina.baby.whats wrong? You can have eats here you know.

Tina: no.dont think sodo you know the number of a lock smith or what ever you call them over here. My keysyou posted them remember

The girls came into the room..

Emma: mummy cant we have breakfast here, Auntie Bettie..

Bette: (turning to look at Emma with a cheeky smile)auntie Bettie come here Nessie..

Bette ran after Emma and tickled her to the floor then made a gesture as if to sayno more auntie Bettie wee one

Tina laughed and reluctantly agreed to let the girls stay.

As Tina and Bette moved around the kitchen Bette asked Tina.

Bette: Tina, did I hurt you earlier?

Tina: NO..

Bette: (looking at Tina).just asking I mean you were crying and insisted that I get off you.

Tina: wellno means no in any language Bette, even the US version of English..(Tina was firm faced and had little tone in her voice)

Bette: (turning to Tina), what the ***** does that mean.it was a game you goof.

Tina: to whom?

Bette scrunched up her face as she wondered where Tina was coming from. Tina served the girls some toast and tea. Her stomach began to rumble again.

Bette: here Tina..take some toast, that rumble would waken the dead

Tina: im not hungry you have it baby

Bette: (baby, am I in the good books again??).not hungryit has been going all night.here dont be silly

Tina: (looking at the ceiling and whispering so the girls dont hear), Bette, how many times do I have to bloody tell you, IM NOT H U N G R Y.

Bette dropped the toast in the bin. She slid up onto the works counter and looked at Tina. Something or somethings didnt make sense.it worried Bette as a few possibilities were clear in her mind
