“No it’s ok” Tina said, giving Bette a small smile “I just don’t have any contact with my family anymore”

“Oh” Bette said as she took Tina’s hand and walked her out into the living room where Tina had placed a kettle of tea and two cups on the end table by the couch.

“Why don’t you have any contact with them?” Bette asked softly after they had taken a seat on the couch.

Tina sighed “My parents got me when they were young and then my dad left when I was three…my mom blamed me for everything…when she got mad she would tell me that I was the biggest mistake of her life” she said as a tear slowly made its way down her cheek.

Bette stroked the tear away as she looked at Tina with concerned eyes.

“When I was thirteen she met this new guy and got a baby with him…” Tina continued “I was never really a part of that family you know they didn’t care about me… it was like I was just in the way so I left as soon as I could and haven’t seen or heard from them since” Tina said slowly.

“I’m so sorry to hear that Tina” Bette said softly.

“I’m fine, I’ve moved on” Tina said, carefully wiping her eyes before taking the kettle of tea and pouring some into the two cups.

“Hey” Bette said softly as Tina placed the kettle back down. Tina looked at Bette as the brunette cupped her face in her hands “Thank you for telling me” she said before placing a soft kiss on the blonde’s lips.

Tina smiled at Bette as they broke apart “So what about your family, do you have a good relationship?”

“I’m afraid that’s not much of a bright story either” Bette said as she grabbed the cup of tea in front of her and took a sip “My mother died when I was young and my father was always very strict and wanted things his way so when he found out I was gay he wasn’t very happy and broke off his relationship with me”

“I’m sorry to hear that” Tina said, placing her hand over the brunette’s.

“I do have a good relationship with my sister though” Bette smiled “Her name is Kit and she is just the best sister you could imagine”
