The Burden of Control – Chapter 9
Previously
Bette: I
missed that.
Tina: Missed
what?
Bette: You.
Laughing.
Tina: Bette
Bette: I’m
sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Uhlet’s eat and then we can continue where
we left off before we were interrupted.
They eat
their meals in silence. Over the course of a few minutes an uncomfortable
tension once again settles between them. Unable to stand the silence any
longer, Bette looks up and addresses Tina.
Bette: Tina?
Tina: Hmm
Bette: I have
a very important favor to ask you.
Tina: A
favor?
Bette: Yes. I
uhI need you to do something for me.
Tina:
(concerned) What do you need me to do, Bette?
Bette:
(whispers) I need you to eat some of this chicken. (she pushes her bowl closer
to Tina)
Tina smiles
in response.

Chapter 9
Tina: (sighs and looks up) Bette, there’s something I
need to discuss with you. I didn’t
intend on waiting so long, but after a while I didn’t know how to approach you
with this. I don’t want to get you upset, but there’s really no better way to
tell you then just saying it. (pauses) I’m pregnant. (pauses) Smooth, Tinareally
smooth. That’ll go over real well.
Tina runs her hand through her hair in frustration as
she looks at herself in the bathroom mirror. Somehow her prepared ‘let’s tell
Bette’ speech sounded a lot better in the mirror at the apartment. She sighed
again. She had excused herself almost immediately after finishing her salad,
running off to the bathroom in hopes of gaining the nerve to tell Bette that
she had earlier lost. That was almost ten minutes ago.
She briefly studied her expanding waistline. She
didn’t look pregnant, per se, but it was apparent that she had gained some
weight. Bette hadn’t noticed or had and just didn’t comment on it. By
comparison, Tina noted that Bette looked thinner since Tina had last seen her.
And while Bette laughed off Kit’s insistence in eating, Tina could easily read
the concern Kit had for her sister. Was Bette really not taking care of herself?
Tina allowed some guilt to nibble her
conscience at the thought. It’s true that Tina had been the ‘homemaker’ in
their relationship. On the few occasions
that Tina had to go away on business, she almost always returned to a house
littered with take out containers. Was
that how the house looked now?
