Tina laid on her bed, staring into the abyss and wallowing in self-pity. It was just an ordinary day so it surprised Tina by how fast she had slipped into depression. It was unusual for her now, now that she had made peace with Bette and herself after the cheating. It was hard but no big deal anymore. They were each dating, or at least sleeping with other people. Everybody was happy or put that front up whenever they were out in public.

But with her due date approaching so rapidly she was starting to feel anxious about everything. And she missed Bette, almost wishing she were there laying next to her in bed. Damn, how weird would it be, us in bed together? Tina thought silently. She liked it better though, when they could lay in bed and laugh at each other. Making soft kisses and cuddling each other while the phone rang quietly in the background. Theyd tell each other how much they loved each other and it would be all mushy and cute and it would be ***** and heartbreaking all at once. She missed that. She missed a lot.

However, thinking about it, what she missed more was the time they spent at the Planet. They could be alone or surround by friends and it always felt like the world was revolving around them. Theyd sit together, holding hands and kissing knowing when they got back home theyd really heat things up. Maybe thats what she liked the best, the anticipation. The waiting, waiting to dig her nails into the back of Bette. Tina grinned. They could get so out of hand when they were together. Once they decided to have a baby they naturally cooled down a bit but the passion was always there, waiting to be lit up again.

Obviously Bettes work also got in the way of their passion and not just the baby. Tina was truly happy when Bette got the job she had adored but it started to take a lot of her time leaving less and less for Tina. Im not jealous, im concerned. she quoted to Alice one afternoon when Bette called saying shed be late again. It was always nice to talk with Alice too, Tina thought, because of her and Bettes past relationship together. At first she was jealous of that too but once she saw how Alice was always off doing her own thing she realized that neither were interested anymore.
