Tina had eaten something and had placed her head down on the bed holding Bettes hand. Bette started to stir but wasnt waking up. She was mumbling something Tina couldnt make out. She was dreaming. Bette was getting very agitated thrashing back and fourth in the bed. Tina stood up and crawled into bed next to Bette taking her in her arms. Shh baby Ive got you. I’m right here and I’m not going any where. Tina could hear Bette calling her name. Then she heard Bette calling for Cole. Tears filled her eyes as she hugged Bette. Bette baby wake up. Its Tina. Wake up baby.

Bette opened her eyes slowing turning her head to see Tina next to her. Her body completely relaxed now as they both cried. Tina I saw Cole. He told me I had to come back and take care of you and his sister. Tina youre pregnant. Arent you. Tina held her breath for a moment. Afraid that Bette was going to be angry. Bette I wanted to tell you but so much happened after I did it. I was going to tell you after I knew everything was ok. Then the affair with Candace and your emergency surgery. Then you were recovering. I was just so afraid to tell you. Oh Tina I could never be angry with you. We both wanted a baby so badly. Tina I wont let you down this time I swear. I wont miss a single thing that has to do with our daughter.

Tina couldnt help but smile. You are so sure were having a little girl huh? Bette placed her hand under Tinas chin and pulled her closer. Cole told me baby.

Tina? Yeah baby. Cole told me he forgave me for not being there when he died. Tina gasped at the sound of this. Oh my god Bette. Tears streaming down Tinas face. I forgive you too baby. If our son can then I certainly can.

Tina? Yeah baby. I love you. I know we have a lot to talk about and work through but I love you more than my own life.

You promise?

Forever I promise.
