Jenny sat in her bedroom, thinking about where she could move to next. She certainly wasn’t staying here – not with Shane and Carmen. The two had been in love right from the very beginning, only Jenny had been too stupid to see. Even if Carmen refused to acknowledge her true feelings for Shane, Jenny simply could not live in the triangle that this had become. She read the classifieds through and through, but there was nothing she’d be able to afford. It was almost time for her to go to work; she put on her waitress uniform, slipped on a pair of comfy shoes, and left.

Bette and Tina talked at the Planet for over an hour. Tina had honestly never seen Bette so happy. It made her smile even more.

Bette stopped by Jenny’s to tell her and Shane the good news, but she had just missed her.

Shane “Sorry, Bette. She left for work like five minutes ago.”

B “Damn.” Bette seemed anxious, and unusually excited.

S “What’s with you? Did you win ten million dollars or something?”

B “Even better! Tina’s having twins!”

Shane started jumping up and down

S “Wholly *****, Bette! That’s ***** awesome! Congratulations.”

They moved into the kitchen for a couple of beers.

S “So Bette, what’s up with you and Jenny? If you don’t mind me asking.”

Bette gathered her courage. It was about time she started telling people about her new relationship with Jenny.

B “We’ve been seeing each other here and there.”

S “Yeah? That’s great. To be honest, I wouldnt in a million years have guessed you two would hit it off. You’re so different. I’m happy for you, though, seriously.”

B “Thanks. I never would have guessed it either. There’s just something there that clicks. I don’t know, maybe it’s some kind of mental/physical chemistry. For a while, I couldn’t imagine my life without Tina. I still can’t, but she doesn’t have to be my life. Just being in it is enough. You know?”

S “I think so. Yeah, I get it.”

Just then Carmen walked through the door.

Carmen “Hi Bette.”

Bette “We’re having twins!!” she blurted.

C “You and Shane?”

Both women gave her the sarcastic eye

Shane “Bette and Tina, babe. Bette and Tina are having twins.”
