Beka realized that this was true that the only person she had any control what-so-ever over was herself so she decided that later that day she would call Bryan back.

Later that day Bette, Tina, Beka and Angelica were lounging out by the pool when Beka said “I think I’m going to call Bryan now, see you later.”

With that she got up and went into the pool house.  Beka grabbed her phone from the kitchen counter and dialed Bryan’s number.

“Hey, Beks”

“Hi Bry, I just wanted to call you back to finish our conversation from earlier.”

“Yeah, before your landlord came.”

“Yeah, Bry it’s about that actually.”

“What do you mean?”

“My landlord, well, that’s not who that was.”

“Huh, who was it then?”

“Tina”

“Excuse me?”

“It was Tina, our sister.”

The other end of the line was silent, “Bryan?”

“Rebekah, what are you doing with Tina?”  He asked pointedly.

“I found her a few days ago, after I arrived here.  Actually I searched her out, found her and we haven’t been separated since.”

“Rebekah, why would you do that?  She’s not one of us anymore.”

“What do you mean, not one of us?  She’ll always be one of us and always be a Kennard.”

“That’s not what I meant, and you know it.  She’s gay Beka.  She’s no longer a Kennard.  Our parents didn’t raise us to be that way.  They raised us to be good Christian’s.”

“Oh Bryan.”

The silence was deafening on both sides of the line, and then Beka spoke up.  “Bryan I am so sorry for you and your blind following of Dad’s proclamations.  Tina is our sister and I love her.  Gay or not, she’s my sister first.  Goodbye Bryan.”  With that she hung up and threw her phone against the wall.

Meanwhile outside by the pool Tina heard a crash inside the pool house and got up and rushed towards where Beka was.  Knocking on the door, “Beka, Beka are you okay?”

Beka opened the door with tear stained eyes and saw a worried Tina standing there.

“Beka, what’s wrong?”

“It didn’t go that well with Bryan.  He still is close minded about you and still angry at you.  He spouted off the ‘She’s not one of us anymore’ crap and then it was over.  Bryan is not the same person I thought him to be.”

“I’m so sorry Beka; I was hoping that it would go well for you.”

Four months later-

Rebekah had adjusted to living in LA and had become accustomed to the long hours and little sleep of being an OB intern.  She was closer than ever to Tina, had developed a relationship with Bette and the girls and had fallen in love with Angelica.  Now five months pregnant she was showing slightly and was just relishing in the idea that because she could no longer fit in her normal clothing so had to go shopping.

She called up to the main house looking for Tina.

“Hello”

“Oh hi Bette, is Tina there?”

“No, she’s at work with the next up and coming director.”

“Oh.”

“Did you need something?”

“Yeah, I was looking for company to go shopping.  I seem to have no clothes that fit me anymore.”

“I can go with you, there’s actually something I’ve been wanting to get and you’d be the perfect person to bounce an idea off of.”

“Great, how about leave in 15 minutes.”

“Sounds good.”

Later at the mall Beka was incredibly successful with her endeavor having bought more than enough maternity clothing.

“Hey Beka let’s look in here” pointing to a jewelry store.

“Sure, no problem.”

Bette aimed them right towards the engagement ring section of the store, at which point she pointed down to a 2-carat princess cut solitaire platinum ring.  “I’ve picked this out; do think Tina will like it?”

“Bette, are you going to propose to my sister?”

“Yes, as soon as the ring is ready I am going to ask her to marry me.”

“Oh Bette that’s absolutely wonderful, I am so happy for you I think Tina will love that ring.”

“Excuse me ma’am, Ms. Porter is it?”

“Yes.”

“Your ring is ready.”

And so the shopping trip was done and Bette and Beka made their way back home.
