Bette had made an appointment to meet Tina that next afternoon to talk.  Tina couldn’t possibly imagine what Bette had to talk to her about, but it made her defensive none the less.  With Bette’s strange behavior as of late there was no telling what she had to tell her now.  Tina was wary of Bette’s motives and prepared herself for a Angelica related curveball.  Turning her down, however, never even crossed her mind.  Whatever it was she had to talk to her about she wanted to be privy to it just incase she needed to prepare herself for anything in the near future.  Bette had chosen familiar ground for the two of them.  The Planet seeming like the obvious choice for this impromptu meeting.  Bette opted to seat them at the fancy new seating Kit had put outside in the front of the popular café.  Tina showed up not much later then Bette had arrived.

Tina  “Hey.  I’m not late am I?”

Bette:  “No, no.  I’m a little early actually.”

Tina:  “Ok good”

She sat down at the small round table.  She was a little nervous about what was to come so she thought a little small talk was in order.

Tina:  “These tables are nice aren’t they?”

Bette:  “Yeah they are.”

Tina:  “Kit’s done a fabulous job with the place.”

Bette nodded in agreement.  She could sense Tina’s apprehension.  Bette thought it better to cut to the chase.

Bette:  “Tina I asked her here today to talk about Angelica.”

Tina took a deep breath.

Bette:  “Well actually Angelica and us.”

Tina looked at her a big confused.  “Us” hadn’t existed for some time.

Bette:  “Well the past couple months have been turbulent to say the least…”

Tina nodded in agreement.

Bette:  “…and I’ll admit I’ve made some bad choices in regards to Angelica.”

Tina:  “Bette look…”

Bette:  “No, wait.  Let me finish.”

She too took this time to take a deep breath.  By no means had she forgiven Tina for the things she had done to her.  And she would never forgive her for Henry.  But she had to admit they had a child together and needed to make it work for her sake it nothing else.
