It was a bit strange for Bette to notice how alike Alexandra and Tina were in appearance. It wasn’t that they were exact copies, but there was still some glint that was just so similar. Sometimes, Bette could swear that she saw Tina when she looked into Alexandra’s eyes. She had of course discussed this with her partner, who hadn’t been too comfortable with it at first but who had finally accepted it when she noticed how very straight Alex was and how very much in love with Tina Bette was.

Sam and Dave were growing closer by the day. Of course, they had their struggles to go through, but they had been together for quite some time now and found it easy to forgive each other’s mistakes. Tina was happy to see Sam so in love. Sam had told her all about her youth and past relationships and the blonde sometimes felt sorry for not having been in her life earlier.

Bette had still not heard a single word from her father. She said she didn’t mind, but Tina knew better. They had agreed to just let it rest – Bette didn’t feel like going through all the drama of revealing the truth and having to fight against the hard and sometimes very corrupt world of the law. She knew her dad was stronger. And for her the knowledge of who had truly did it was enough. She was sure her mother would understand that ultimate justice was sometimes just not worth all the shit one had to go through first.

Tina was very happy when one day, she found a mail from her mother in her mail box. It had probably taken the poor woman ages to type it up, but Tina knew her – she would want to prove that she could do it, that she could work with computers. She read only good news.

The next step was telling Bette and hoping she would agree. That Tina had never met Melvin Porter as her girlfriend’s dad was evident. Bette’s mom and Tina’s dad were sadly gone, but Tina felt it was the time that Bette met her mother, the woman who had shaped her. 

It was the third week of school and Bette came back home, a giant smile plastered on her face. They had decided that Bette would move in this term. Their issues had been talked through, Bette did have enough friends, it just wasn’t a reason to stay on campus anymore. She knew what it was like and she had asked herself if she could move in with Tina – something the brunette would have never done only a year ago.
