Kit: Hey daddy, where are Bette and Tina?

Melvin: I believe they are in the bedroom. But I wouldnt go in there if I were you.

Kit thought to herself, this is just great. They must be fighting about something. Melvin must have said something to set them off.

Kit: Why daddy? What on earth is going on with them?

Melvin: I think one would call it a little sexual frustration. But I do believe they are working it out. Theyve been in there for quite some time. (Melvin chuckled to himself) What I wouldnt give to be young and in love again.

Kits mouth dropped open upon hearing her fathers words. There was definitely something going on with this man and she was going to find out what it was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tina headed to the bathroom while Bette quickly got dressed and followed her. They both needed to freshen up before returning to face Melvin. Tina let Bette go out first to test the waters. Bette walked out grinning ear to ear. As she rounded the corner she could smell food so she hesitantly walked to the kitchen where she found Kit, who was looking a little pissed.

Bette: Hey, Kit. I didnt know you where coming over. Whats up?

Kit: Well, I thought I would help the two of you out by bringing over lunch and it seems that it is a good thing I did. Would you like to tell me why daddy is out there in the living room all by his self taking care of Katalina.

Bette: Well, if you must know, Tina needed some assistance in the other room.

Bette was still glowing as Kit thought to herself, yeah, I just bet she did and you were just more than happy to oblige. Kit looked directly at Bette and confronted her.

Kit: Please tell me that you two were not doing what I think you were doing.

The smile erupting from Bettes face said it all.

Kit: Oh, my God, you were. You two were in there romping it up with your own father in the very next room. Has everyone in this house gone completely mad?

Bette: Chill out Kit. Daddy had no idea what was going on.

Kit: The ***** you say. He knows exactly what was going on, but even scarier than that, he doesnt seem to care. The man has gone from a homophobic bigot to wanting to feel young and in love again. Have you all been smoking Alices wacky weed? Just what the ***** has gotten into everybody?

About that time Tina entered the kitchen with a very nonchalant attitude without displaying any indication as to what had just occurred in their bedroom.

Tina: Hey Kit. You brought lunch. That was sweet of you. Hey babe.

Tina leaned over and kissed Bette then headed back out to check on Melvin and the baby.

Tina: Hey Melvin, you two getting along okay.

Melvin: Oh, yes. Shes been a complete angel. But I do believe she is beginning to get a little hungry.

Tina: Yeah, I bet she is. She usually eats around this time and then takes a nap. Why dont you go in and eat with Bette and Kit while I take care of this little one. That will give you some time to talk with your daughters.

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen.

Kit: Im really beginning to wonder about this family. Especially you baby sis, never in a million years would I have thought that you would do something so outrageous with your own father in the house.

Bette is now getting a little agitated with Kit: Jesus Kit, lighten up. Its not like we fucked right there next to him on the sofa. We were in our bedroom for Gods sake.

Kit: I cant believe you are being so blas about this Bette. Good God, Katalina is not even six weeks old yet. Dont you think you should have at least waited until Tina had her 6 week checkup to make sure everything was okay?

Bette looked out into the living room to where Melvin and Tina were talking.

Bette: Look at her Kit. Does it look like shes complaining? Besides I had every intention of waiting, Tinas the one with the wild raging hormones..and when they rage, well, never mind. Im not going to discuss this any further with you. I thought you of all people would be happy for us, but instead youre standing here giving me the third degree.

Kit: I give up. I honestly believe you have all gone stark raving mad.

Just then Tina peeks in the kitchen holding Katalina.

Tina: Babe, Im going to go feed the baby. Why dont you guys go ahead and eat. Ill be out once I get her down for her nap.

Bette: You need any help T.

Kit: Im sure she can handle it baby sis. Besides, your food is right here.

Bette: Ha, ha, Kit, very funny.

Tina heads to the nursery, while Melvin, Kit and Bette sit down and eat lunch. Once again Melvin monopolized the conversation, reminiscing about the past. As soon as Kit finished eating she said her goodbyes as she needed to get back to the Planet, leaving Melvin and Bette to continue their talk.

Melvin: So, Bette, I take it you took some time off from the CAC to help Tina with Katalina.

Oh no, Bette thought to herself, the dreaded conversation that she had hoped to avoid. Oh well, it was going to be now or never, so Bette decided to just tell her father the truth.

Bette: Actually, daddy, Im not with the CAC anymore. Franklin and the board bought out my contract.

Melvin: You mean they let you go?

Bette: Yes, daddy, but I had not been happy there for some time and I was actually contemplating leaving anyway. So their decision was really the best thing for me. The buy out was quite a large sum and it will give me time to decide what it is I really want to do.

Melvin: Well, my dear, you must not be wasting too much time. You have a beautiful little daughter in there that you need to provide for and you are going to need a steady income to do that. Raising children is not cheap this day and time and schooling, well you know how expensive that is.

Bette: Believe me daddy, I am quite aware of all of that.

Just then Tina joins them.

Tina: I hope you guys saved something for me. Im really hungry.

Bette: Yeah, T. Yours is in on the counter. Would you like me to get it for you?

Tina: Thats okay, babe. Ive got it.

Tina grabbed her food then came in and joined Bette and Melvin.

Tina: Im not interrupting anything, am I.

Bette: No, T. I was just telling daddy that I wasnt with the CAC anymore.

Melvin: Thats right, and I believe Bette was just about to tell me what her future plans were.

Tina: Wow, babe. Did you decide on something?

Bette: No, T. I would have discussed it with you if I had. You see daddy, my priority right now is taking care of my family.

Melvin: And how do you plan on going about that without a job?

Bette: I have every intention to go back to work, daddy. I just want to do something that I can be happy with.

Melvin: Have you ever considered taking up painting again?

Tina: Wow, Bette. I never knew you painted.

Bette: It was just something I dabbled in T.

Melvin: Who are you trying to fool, Bette? You know very well that you did more than dabble in it. You had a passion for it, just like your mother. You were both exceptionally good at it. I think it was something you let go of when your mother passed away. It just became to painful of a reminder that she was no longer with us. Maybe its time for you to move past the pain and let your passion re-emerge.

Bette: Daddy, it was just something I played around with. It was nothing of any substance.

Melvin: Well, I beg to differ. I happen to have many of your pieces and I believe that they are quite amazing.

Bette: You kept my paintings all these years.

Melvin: Yours and your mothers. I could never part with any of them.

Tina: I would really love to see them.

Melvin: That can easily be arranged.

Bette: T, there really nothing special.

Tina: Well, I would like to judge that for myself. Melvin: I will have them shipped out to us. I think Ill have them send your baby pictures too, Bette.

Bette: Daddy, Ive got plenty of my baby pictures around here somewhere.

Tina: What do you mean, somewhere? They are in the box in the top of the closet.

Melvin: Why dont you bring them on out? I would love to go through them. I just cant get over how much little Katalina looks like you when you were that small.

Bette: Daddy, you know how much I hate going through those pictures.

Tina: Aww, Bette. It will be fun. We havent looked at them for years.

Bette: Whos side are you on T?

Tina: The side that never tires of looking at you babe.

Bette: Dont I get a say in this?

Melvin and Tina answer together: No, not really.

Bette: Fine, Ill bring them out, but Im not looking at them.

Bette goes to get the box as Tina clears the table. Melvin headed back to the sofa. It wasnt long before Bette came back out with the box. She carried it in and placed it on the coffee table in front of her father.

Bette: Here you go. Have fun.

Bette turned to walk away just as Tina grabbed her by the waist and walked her towards the sofa.

Tina: Not so fast Porter. Have a seat and try to enjoy.

Bette pouted as she sat next to her father. Tina then sat down next to Bette. Melvin started looking through the pictures as he explained when, where and why the pictures had been taken. Bettes pout didnt last long as her father pointed out just how much Katalina really did look like her. Bette was actually enjoying herself, that is up until Melvin turned over a picture of a baby Bette lying on her tummy in her birthday suit.

Melvin: Awww, look at this one of you showing your little tushy. Isnt that just so cute? Bette attempts to get up.

Bette: That does it. I am not subjecting myself to anymore of this. You two can look at my cute little tushy all you want, but I am leaving.

Tina grabbed Bette by one of her belt loops and pulled her back to the sofa.

Tina: Awww, come on babe. We are almost done. Besides, you have an adorable tushy.

Tina then leaned in and softly whispered in Bettes ear.

Tina: But a picture just doesnt do it justice, babe. Right about now, I could really use an up close and personal viewing of the real thing. What do you say baby?

With that, Tina nibbled Bettes ear as she ran her hand down the back of Bettes pants caressing her *****. As Melvin finished going through the pictures, Bette leaned back and looked over at Tina, once again seeing that burning rage of desire staring back at her. Oh, my ***** God, thought Bette. Here we go again.
