“Where do you think you’re going dressed like that?”

“Like what? It’s not like you noticed.”

Bette kissed her neck as Tina pretended to push her away.

“I…*kiss*…always…*kiss*…notice.” They both felt the need for one another intensify in moments but Angie was quick to remind them that they weren’t alone.

“Mama, water!”

Tina slipped away having just about melted at Bette’s touch. “Sorry, slayer, pool-time.”

She swayed her hips suggestively for Bette’s sake. The brunette called out to her as she exited the house. “Uh, not kidding about the bikini, T; way too many horny slayers around leering at my wife.”

“You’re the only horny slayer that I’m interested in baby.” Tina walked back in momentarily for the sunscreen.

The doorbell rang as Bette kept an eye out for the two burly slayers posted in her yard that were now drooling over Tina’s body.

“Freakin, shit.” Bette muttered as she opened the front door.

“Well, hello to you to darlin’. How’s my favorite daughter-in-law.”

Bette smiled, slightly embarrassed. “I’m your only daughter-in-law, Mama. But I’ll take it. I’m fine, how’s your leg?”

“It’s better, the girls did a great job. I still need this cane but I’m moving pretty well on it.”

“Where are my girls?” Bette pointed to the pool and allowed the rest of the crew to file in greeting everyone warmly.  They needed to be around one another and this incident served only to make them closer. 

Bette made her phone calls and got another update on the investigation which had yielded nothing. Denbo was still at large and there were no leads. Bette knew the vampire was biding her time hoping everyone would let down their guard but there was no way she would catch her off guard again.

She walked back out after having changed into a white bikini, feeling good about how close their family was.  She felt the warm hands envelop her from behind and knew instantly from the perfume it was Kit.

“Hey baby sis.”

“Hey, Kit. I’m glad you’re here.”

“Me too, I’m sorry I missed all the excitement. I thought I was going to have an interesting time in NYC. Are you ok?”

“Yeah, Kit I’m fine. Everybody’s ok and Angie doesn’t seem to be having any nightmares about that night. So I guess we’re ok considering.” The sisters continued chatting but Bette could not keep her eyes off Tina and sensing that, Kit made a hasty exit to the patio.
