"I swear to god, Janie. I wanted to cry right there. Jimmy couldn't have taken it better. I know Tammy sure needed it. This has to be scaring the shit outta her!" Holly said as she sat next to her lover. "I know it's scaring the shit outta me! I could lose her, and those fucking bastards won't do anything about it!"
Janie put her arm around the woman she loved. "I'll call my lawyer, Jacob, but no one'll touch this case. It'll be viewed as two lesbians trying to force one of their children to become a girl against her will, and make the insurance company pay for it." She kissed the woman on the forehead to comfort her. "Maybe after the company reads the statements by the doctor's and that priest the hospital has, it'll help."
Holly smiled softly. "Jimmy and Tammy know about us. When I warned them that they were going to be facing some problems, Jimmy flat out asked me how you and I handled it. When I tried to deny it, Tammy snorted and said denial wasn't just a river in Egypt. I wonder if Donna and Tina know?"
"Are you serious? Tina likes to watch us when we make love, and I expect Donna to start calling you mom too," Janie said, smiling in return.
"She already does. I guess we aren't fooling anyone anymore," Holly sighed.
"You know ... we'd need to talk it over with the kids, but we could always sell my house to pay for Tammy's surgery, and we could all live in your house," Janie suggested. "By state law, we can't legally marry, but we can set things up so all we're missing is the license.
Holly pulled away to look her lover in the face. "You'd do that for me? Us?"
"Why not? Look, we already make all our decisions together; we sit down together and figure out the bills. We sleep together almost every night, and I really miss you when we don't. Let's just come out of the damn closet, and become one family," Janie said. "Hell, we've been together longer than either of our marriages lasted. I'm willing to bet that the better part of the town knows about us anyway."
Before Holly could reply, her oldest came in and slammed the front door, dropped her book bag, came over to the two loving women, and sat down on the floor in front of them. She leaned in and hugged both womens' knees.
"Why are boys such idiots?" She asked the two women.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Janie asked, kindly.
"That Ass I'm no longer dating! He thought that just because my parents are lesbians, that I should at least like other girls. Well, I do, but that has nothing to do with you guys. Anyway, he decided, that since you two like girls, then I do. Therefore, he decided he could fuck whatever tramp caught his eye and I'd be good with it. All without even talking to me about it. How can they even breathe being that stupid?" Tina asked rhetorically.
"Well, generally, it's a side effect of all the blood in their heads running down to fill the dick. You see the lack of blood to the brain starves it of oxygen, affecting the common sense centers..." Janie began.
Tina looked up at her mother as if to ask if Janie were serious. Holly tried to stop the giggle, but couldn't. Soon all three of them were laughing at the stupidity of the male animal.
"How's Tammy?" Tina asked, after she stopped laughing.
"I think she's doing better. She finally decided to tell Jimmy what was happening to her," Holly replied.
"I think there might have been more between them than even they were aware of until now," Janie added.
Tina was suddenly sullen, and rose. "I'm sure they'll be good for each other." She leaned forward and kissed Janie on the cheek. "Thanks, 'Mom'." She repeated the gesture with Holly before she walked over, grabbed her bag and headed up the stairs.
"I really wish I knew what that was all about. Something happened between her and Jimmy. I don't think Jimmy has a clue what it was, but Tina is definitely holding a grudge over something," Holly said looking after her daughter.
"She's been like that since she got back from that nun factory Bill sent her to. Something had to have happened to her there, but she sure as hell won't talk about it until she's damn good and ready," Janie added.
"Speaking of Bill, that ass has subpoenaed Tammy's medical records, trying to prove that I forced the sex change on her. You know, if he'd just pay the money he owes, instead of wasting all this time on litigation, we'd sure as hell be in a better place. It would really take some stress off Tammy too, Tina flat out hates him, If I didn't know better, I'm sure she'd kill him if she had the opportunity," Holly said.
"Well, to get back to matters at hand. We should talk it over with the tribe before we decide to sell one of the houses. Otherwise, we could get voted off the island," Janie said grinning at the woman she loved.
"I think we both have immunity idols anyway, but let's do a sit down out here after dinner," Holly suggested and snuggled back into her lover. "God, this is nice."
