“Eric are you Ok, please says something…” Tina starts to feel uncomfortable. 

“I just…I don’t know what to say right now…” He scratched his neck…”Are you sure…?”

Tina looked at him and shook her head…

“You don’t have to say anything…you don’t have to do anything….I just wanted to tell you…because it’s yours too…”

Eric closed his eyes and sat on the couch….scratching his head…”I’m not ready…I’m not ready to be a father in this stage of my life…I just…”

“It’s enough…stop right here…It’s enough…” Tina lifts her hand indicating him to stop. “I’ll go now…” Tina pointed at the door and start walking….

“Hey wait…wait a minute…” Eric grabbed her wrist gently turning her back…” I didn’t say that I don’t want to be part of the baby’s life…if you need something, anything, just call me…” Eric hugged Tina…”I’ll be there for him…of her…or them…”

Tina nods and patted his back…”Congrats daddy…”

“Same for you… mommy…” Eric said walking her by the door.

………………

  Bette walked in and throws her bag on the floor. She was drenched emotionally; her whole idea about her and Tina flew out of the window. What she’s supposed to do now? She’ll be there for Tina in a heartbeat, but where exactly she was in that picture. She had never been thought about life including a child, and Tina been pregnant was something that she had to get use to.

“Hey…you’re home.” Kit said walking out of the kitchen…She scared Bette causing her to jump of her place.

“Shit…you scared me…” Bette held her hand over her heart.

“So…what happened…?” Kit asked. She knew that something was off with Bette, her eyes were sad and she seemed kind of down.

“Nothing…we had some progress…At least we talked”That was all Bette said. She walked out of the room and head to her bedroom.

“The diner’s ready…”Kit yelled after her…

“I’m not hungry…” Bette yelled back. She changed in her PJ and lied down. Staring at the ceiling her thought were running like a herd of wild horses. She tossed and turns all night thinking and dreaming. Soon the sun rose up and she had to go to work. Another day in the hell called CAC. Franklin was breathing in her neck, prowling for some mistakes. Bette walked in and head straight to her office, trying to avoid her boss’s antics.
