Chapter 5

Bette and I just pulled up outside “The Planet” to meet up with the gang as per usual but today was a very special meeting because today is the day Bette and I announce our pregnancy. So far Alice and Kit are the only ones who know…apart from Bette of course. Once we we’re out of the car Bette’s cell phone rings. It’s James. Sounds like he is worried about losing his job from what I can hear anyway. We just enter “The Planet” when Bette walks near the line to get our coffees but stands back due to her conversation on the phone with James to let people line up. The last I heard of the conversation before I joined the group was Bette saying “James, I don’t think they’re gonna do that. If they do, I’ll make some calls and give you an amazing recommendation, OK?”

I walk over to the group and stand between Dana and Alice. I’m greeted with a depressed Dana “I like your scarf” she complemented I saw how depressed she was. I gently rubbed her back in a comforting manner.

She must still be upset from last night when she was with Lara. I heard that Dana ejaculated when she was having sex with Lara. She is still very new to being open with us about being a lesbian and she doesn’t know everything about being a lesbian so I’m guessing she mistook her ejaculation for peeing and apparently she got really embarrassed and fled her own apartment. Looks like she hasn’t seen or talked Lara since then.

Marina then approaches me holding an “on the go” cup of…something. She hands me the cup as she says “This is for the baby. I made it just for you”. I smile at her and then it clicks that Marina shouldn’t know about the baby yet.

I heard Bette say into her phone “I gotta go”. This could get messy.

I stare at Alice realising that she would be the only one who would blab knowing that big mouth of hers. I see Bette at the corner of my eye as she looks at Alice as well with a confused and hurt look in her eyes.
