Dana then heads over to the table and asks everyone ‘’Whats going on’’

Bette quietly gets up and moves over toward Tanya, who starts shift in her seat and whispers, just so only the table can hear what she is saying

Bette: ‘’ I expect that sort of comment to come out of Alice’s mouth, who by the way has known me a lot longer than someone who has just hitched a ride on one of my friends coat tails, just to get famous. Say one more thing and you won’t know what’s hit you.

Hey Dana, sorry I gotta go. See you guys later.’’

Bette then straightens her suit and heads out the door. She quickly gets her phone out of her purse and dials Tina’s number. Tina answers and Bette can tell from her voice that she’s been crying.

Bette: ‘’ Hey Tee are you ok? I’m sorry about that, where are you?

Tina: ‘’ I’m ok. It’s not your fault, you were right, we should have gone somewhere else, I wasn’t expecting that sort of reaction from going in there. I just can’t believe that everyone seems to know our business. You know I hate that about being here and a lesbian.

Bette: ‘’ I know..........I know, Look where are you, we haven’t eaten yet, I’ll come and get you and we can go and grab something now if you like.’’

Tina: ‘’ I’m on my way home, I’ll freshen up and wait for you here.’’

Bette: ‘’ Ok, I’ll see you in a bit.’’                                                  

Bette heads over to the house where she sees Tina waiting for her outside and she can see that she has tried to cover up her puffy red eyes.

 They head off to small restaurant to have lunch and try and get some obstacles out of the way.

They order their lunch and sit with an air of nervousness about them, wondering who should speak first.

Bette: ‘’ I’m sorry that you had to go through that Tee, I was silly to suggest the planet, but I must say though you handled that pretty well. I thought you were going to slap her. She won’t be saying anything else like that again.’’ Said with a slight giggle

Tina: Smiling. ‘’ It wasn’t your fault Bette, I expected Alice to come out with comments like that. But somebody was bound to say stuff like that. We still might get comments and we have to be prepared for it.’’

Bette: ‘’ Tee?’’

Tina: ‘’ Yeah’’

Bette: ‘’ Why didn’t you tell me about the baby or that you were even doing the inseminations? I mean I would have been there with you.’’

Tina: ‘’ I know I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you that I had started doing the inseminations again. I just thought that we were so apart and the only way to get us back on track, was to do them on my own and suprise you, if it didn’t take it would just be me that was disappointed and not us. Plus you had the stress of the show, I just didn’t want to add to it.’’

Bette: ‘’ But when I asked you in the shower, if we could start again, you said we would in a couple of months. Why didn’t you just tell me then?’’

Tina: ‘’ I was shocked that you even suggested it, I mean you were so wrapped up in your own world that I thought because I lost our son, that you didn’t want to try in case I lost another baby. I know how you felt when it happened.’’

Tina’s eyes start to well up and she bows her head.

Bette reaches across and places her hand on top of Tina’s
