“Go talk to her.” Tina shook her head.

“No, she’s having fun. I really don’t want to ruin that.”

“C’mon, just walk over there and ask. It wouldn’t kill you.”  Tina sighed. She put on her mask and walked through the crowd. She walked over towards Helena and Bette. She tapped Bette on her shoulder.

“Can I cut in?” Bette looked and saw Tina. She looked up at Helena and then back at Tina. “I thought we could talk.” Helena pulled away.

“You guys have fun, I’ll be at the bar when you’re done.” She leaned forward and gave Bette a kiss.  Bette watched Helena walk away and looked at Tina. She held her hand out, and Tina grabbed a hold of it. Bette put her hand on Tina’s waist and danced to the music. Bette never looked at Tina and continued to dance.

“I know that I haven’t been the best person in the world to you, but I want to talk about this. I want us to try to work out our differences. I want us to be friends. I don’t want us on bad terms for the sake of our daughter. We need to push our anger aside and be parents to our child.” Bette pushed her mask up and looked at Tina.

“Tina, I—.”

“Let me finish,” Tina laughed softly. “I also wanted to say that I’m happy for you and Helena. I’m glad that you found someone that you’re in love with and share your happiness with. I’m sorry that I was such a bitch about the whole thing. I hated to see that you were happy with someone else, but I guess that I have to live with that. I just hope that we can pushed the past aside and work on being friends. I still love you Bette, and I wish you the best for your life and your life with Helena. You deserve it.” Bette smiled softly.

“Tee,” Bette took a deep breath. Tina smiled softly after hearing that nickname. “I’m happy that we’re talking about this. I really want to push our differences aside for our daughter and try to make this a family thing, even though we’re not together. I’m glad that you’re happy for me and Helena, that’s what I wanted from you. I wanted to know if you were happy for me because of Helena and I past relationship. We didn’t start off on the right foot, but we got to know each other, and it became great between us. I hope that in the long run that you’ll find happiness and love. I would love to have you as my friend, and hopefully, we can hang out again sometimes. I love you still, and I want you to know that I’m still here for you.” Tina smiled and wrapped her arms around Bette.
