Bette smiled at Robin, Thank you, hon. Why dont we just go in, see how it goes? We can play it by ear.

If thats what you want, sounds good to me. How about if you guys are getting along after a little while, Ill leave and let you catch up. I dont want you walking on egg shells because Im around.

That sounds like a plan to me. Thank you for understanding. Even when I lost it earlier. You really have been great. Bette said, leaning in a placing a soft kiss on Robin.

Robin gave Bette a small smile, I just want this to go well for you.

Alice looked over at Bette, You ready? Bette put on her huge smile, I was born ready!

Alice just rolled her eyes. Alice led Bette and Robin into the living room and looked over to Tina. Tina had started to rise when she heard them coming in, but had frozen in place when she looked up and saw Bette. Dana jumped up from her seat and walked over to Bette and Robin to say hello and to give Tina a couple of seconds to pull herself together. Shane followed suit and did the same thing.

After all of the procrastinations were done with, Bette walked over to Tina. She hesitated as she stood in front of Tina. Bette couldnt believe she was looking into Tinas eyes, after all these years. She looked the same, different, but the same. Age didnt seem to be an issue. It suited Tina. She looked more confident and more self assured, but humble at the same time. They stood about a foot away from each other for about fifteen seconds without moving or speaking.

Finally Tina broke the silence. Bette, its great to see you.

You too, T, I mean Tina. Bette smiled demurely, You look great. NY must agree with you. She said as she leaned in and gave Tina an awkward hug.

Tina smiled and blushed, So do you Bette. You look wonderful. Tina looked around the room and saw Robin and walked over to her. Robin, its good to see you again.

Robin smiled at Tina, Good to see you too. Where is Cara?
