“All right—choose a glass.” The girls grabbed a glass from the alcohol covered island. “One, two, three,” they took the shots and slammed the glass on the counter.

“I’ll take another one,” Bette raised her glass. “I haven’t been drunk in a while.”

“Remember, I have to get Angelica in the morning from Kit’s.”

“Kit will understand if you’re a little to picking her up in the morning.” Tina sighed.

“All right—I’ll take another one.”

“Do the rest of you like to take a shot? Well it looks like you are,” Helena began to pour the tequila in the glasses. “If you ladies and Max would like to stay, you’re more than welcomed. There’s a lot of room out there in the living room, so you guys can crash and burn.”

“This will be your last shot and drink for tonight Helena, you’re way gone.” Shane squeezed her shoulder softly.

“It will be it will be.” She smiled. “All right—here we go. One, two, three.” They swallowed the tequila and slammed the glasses. “If you guys want to watch some movies or something you can in the living room. I’m already for bed.”

“How much did she drink?” Bette looked around the group.

“Well I was the first person here, and she had already polished half a pack of Bacardi Mojitos and then continued to drink more. So yeah, she’s pretty much done for tonight.”

“She’s going to feel it in the morning.” Tina shook her head.

“No—I’ll be fine in the morning,” Helena bumped into the wall.

“C’mon Helena—I’ll help you to the bedroom.” Max grabbed Helena. The girls walked into the living room and began to find their spots. Shane walked over to the TV and turned it on. She found the remote for the DVD player. She pushed play and took a step back.

“Oh my God—Helena,” it was a homemade DVD of her and Catherine.

“Wow—that’s interesting.” Alice tilted her head, and Shane turned it off. She pushed the eject button and took it out. She went through the collections of movies.

“Is there anything that anyone’s in the mood for?” Everybody shook their heads. “All right—well I’m putting in…Sin City.” She put the disc in and closed the tray. She made her way back to Paige and pushed play. Bette and Tina stood behind the couch, and Bette leaned over.

“You want to go for a walk.”

“Sure.” They walked out of the living room and walked back outside on the beach. Bette held out her hand, and Tina took it. They walked down the beach as the wind softly blew. “Today has been one interesting day.” Tina smiled.

“Yeah, I guess it’s a new start.” Bette squeezed Tina’s hand. “Y’know Tina—I want to start fresh. I don’t want to pick up where we first left off.”

“That was what I was guessing because how we left was me leaving you for Henry.”

Bette shook her head. “Lets not think about it.” She chuckled uneasily.

“I’m sorry.”

“We have hurt each other a lot in the past, but we have both grown from it. I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you.”

“Let’s not think about our past, lets think about our future.” Bette nodded.

“You’re right,” Tina linked her arm with Bette’s and leaned closer to her. “Angelica’s first birthday is next month.”

“I know—I can’t believe she’s going to be a year old. So are we going to do for our little Angel?”

“We can throw her a birthday party. Maybe have the Planet for the night just for us for her birthday.”

“That’ll be a good idea, but I don’t know because Kit will lose business.”

“Bette you know that Kit won’t have a problem closing the Planet for one night for us, for her niece’s birthday.”

“Okay—I’ll—we’ll talk to her about it.” Tina smiled. “Are you happy?”

“Of course I’m happy. I’m happy because I finally have you back in my life.” They stopped, and Bette turned towards Tina. She grabbed her by her waist and pulled her close. Tina smelled the sweet scent of Bette’s perfume. She sighed softly as she looked up at her. Bette kissed her softly, and Tina rested her hands on Bette’s lower back. She pulled away and rested her head against hers. They smiled at each other and held each other hand. They turned back and head back to the house.
