When Kit arrived home she called Bette after she had settled back in and let her know that she had shared the information that she wanted her to with Tina. Kit felt that she was accepting of it and was being thoughtful regarding her future. Kit and Bette had talked about the healing process that needed to occur between her and Tina so that both lives could move forward in a loving, peaceful way so that whether they were together or apart, both could find love and peace in their hearts once more.

Bette shared that she was trying her best to let go of her fears of being a new mom to a baby that she presently and finally felt a responsibility for as her words had assisted in her creation. She had accepted that into her heart. She would figure out the best ways for her to contribute to the new baby’s welfare. She felt strongly that her journey towards healing with her wife had begun.

Tina and Bette were now taking their first steps towards a healing between them with the assistance of their caring family members. As much as outsiders might look upon the situation as interfering from the family, both women were in a different space within their hearts and were quite accepting of the assistance to try and get the healing process started. There were now children involved and both women had to do their best for them and each other.

In addition to Kit’s assistance, Bette and Tina started to reconnect with emails. Starting slowly, hoping to build reconnection through them, it was the beginning of their communication process to figure out what the future held for them, either together or apart. The communication was key in starting and clarifying, forgiving and healing. Both women felt this was a break through for them and seriously wanted to get back to being on the same page with one another.

Life had soon returned back to normal with Bette, Ozzie and the rest of the east coast family. Sunday brunches were now scheduled to be a family occasion when they were available to all meet at Allyn and Maxine’s. Bette was excited to be able to get to know her siblings as both Lynn and Andrew were excited to get to know her and Ozzie. Lynn was a lawyer in a high-powered office in Manhattan and Andrew was psychologist at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
