MK:  “Babe why are you crying.  You’ve been acting so strangely lately.  Who was on the phone?”

Bette:  “It was Tina.  I…We need to talk.”

MK:  “Clearly.  What’s wrong?”

Bette:  “I have to go Mekayla.”

MK:  “Go where?  To Tina’s?  Is there something wrong with the baby?  I’ll give you a ride if you need.”

Bette:  “No the babies fine.  I don’t need a ride.  I have to…I’m not.”

Bette began to cry full force now.

MK:  “B what is it?  Just tell me.”

Bette:  “MK I love you with all my heart.  You have done more for me then anyone in my life.  You make me feel special in every way.  I love everything about you.”

MK:   “You’re scaring me.  Please just tell me what’s going on.”

Bette:  “I’ve been talking to Tina lately.  She wants to give us another try.  For the baby.  She thinks we can be a family.”

MK:  “So what does that mean?”

Bette:  “It means I have to go.  For Angelica.”

MK:  “Angelica?  So Tina calls and waves Angelica in your face and you go running?”

MK was beginning to get angry.

Bette:  “You’ve got to understand.  You were going to leave me when you thought Jennifer was pregnant.”

MK:  “I would never leave you.  I was begging for you to save me then and you almost let me go!”

MK stood and was pacing in front of the couch they were sitting on.

MK:  “Since we’ve met I’ve been chasing and chasing.  And finally when we’re good your telling me your leaving?!”

Bette:  “Mic you’ve got to understand.  We have a child together.  I owe it to Angelica to try and make it work.”

MK:  “You being romantic with Tina has nothing to do with Angelica.  You can be just as good a mother without being with Tina.  You know that.”

Bette:  “I want to give her a bit of normality.  Its bad enough her family structure will always be seen as different, she doesn’t need that toped off with a broken home.”

MK:  “Who are you doing this for, you or Angelica?”

Bette was stuck.  She was doing this a little for herself.  She wanted to offer Angelica what she didn’t have as a child.  MK got on her knee’s in front of her.
