Tina couldn’t possibly imagine what it was that Harmony needed to talk to her about.  Harmony was the last person she wanted to see let alone speak to these days.  She had been less then thrilled with her and Bette’s union and was sure that Bette had made that known to her.  Was that what she wanted to talk about?  What if Harmony wanted to tell Tina to stay away from Bette forever?  She’d have every right.  But then that would make problems in the Angelica department, so that couldn’t be it.  She had considered not meeting her at all.  Nothing she had to speak to her about could be that serious.  Just to air on the side of caution she opted to accept her lunch invitation.  Harmony thought long and hard about what exactly she would say to Tina when she saw her.  She knew she was her least favorite person so she had to be sure to go about this in the right way.  Meeting in a neutral spot like the Planet was her first line of action.  Harmony was already there when Tina arrived.

Tina:  “Hello.”

Harmony:  “Hi.  How are you?”

Tina:  “Fine. Thank you.”

Silence.  Tina wasn’t leaving any room for small talk.

Harmony:  “Ok. I guess I’ll just cut to the chase.”

Tina:  “Please.”

Harmony:  “Bette and I would like to have a baby. I’m going to have it.”

Tina looked like she could puke.

Tina:  “And?”

Harmony:  “And well I wanted to speak to you about using Marcus’ sperm.”

Tina:  “What?!”

Harmony:  “Well I figured it would be nice to give Angelica a little brother or sister and have it be of blood relation.  At least half anyway.”

Tina:  “So you want to use my donor.”

Harmony:  “Well if I heard correctly it was Bette who found Marcus.”

Tina:  “Yeah well it’s still my body that produced Angelica.”

Harmony:  “True indeed but it’s not your body that produced the sperm so you have no exclusive rights to it.”

Tina:  “Well what did you ask me here for if you didn’t care about how I feel.”

Harmony:  “You’re right I don’t care about how you feel, but frankly I have to deal with you.  So for Bette’s sake I would like for us to be able to get along or at least cohabitate.  Now Angelica is going to have a sibling coming real soon, whether you like it or not.  All I’m asking is that we be able to agree even if it’s just to disagree.”

Tina was stumped.  She didn’t know how to respond.  She was livid but Harmony was right.  Their lives overlapped, there was no escaping that.  And now that bond was only going to be stronger.  Tina could either get on board or be left behind.  Harmony was Bette’s family now, which made her Angelica’s family which made Harmony and Tina family.  That was that.

Tina:  “I don’t like it but its clear there nothing I can do about it if your mind is made up….”

She reached in her purse and pulled out a card.

Tina:  “I guess Angelica having a sibling would be nice.  That’s the address of the bank where Marcus’ sperm can be found.”

Harmony:  “Thank you Tina.”

Tina:  “I’m doing this for Angelica, no one else.”

She got up and left.  Harmony didn’t care any, she got what she came from.  She had a surprise for someone very special.  She had plans to make.
