"Yes of course Tina," Bette said, "but my opinion doesn’t matter, Duffy’s does."

"I trust Eric," Tina said.

"I do too, if any lawyer can protect us it’s him," Bette said.

"Okay, so step one is done," Tina said, "we talked about everything just like Eric said."

"Yes but there’s still one more thing I wanna talk about," Bette said.

Tina leaned forward nervously, "about Jenny?"

"No, no," Bette said shaking her head, "it’s about us."

"Us?" Tina said nervously.

"Yes, uh," Bette said, "it was something that I talked about during the interrogation. I didn’t mean to just blurt it out but I just kind of broke down."

"W-what is it?" Tina said nervously.

"I feel uh, useless," Bette said.

"Useless?" Tina repeated.

"Yes, useless."

"I make you feel useless?" Tina whimpered.

"Now hang on let me explain," Bette said. "You know how I asked you about having another baby?"

"Yes, wait," Tina looked confused, "you, you don’t want to have a baby?"

"Yes, yes of course I do Tina," Bette said, "please let me finish okay?"

Tina nodded.

Bette cleared her throat, "well when I suggested it, you immediately suggested adoption without discussing, you know any other way."

Tina’s brow furrowed, "you want me to carry another baby? Baby, I understand me carrying Angie created this connection between us and our daughter, but I nearly died giving birth to Angie and I really don’t think I can go through that again."

Bette sighed in frustration, "Tina for god sake, this is what I’m talking about. Did you ever consider me?! I mean I’m a woman ain’t I? Am I not good enough to carry your child?"

"Oh, oh Bette," Tina said covering Bette’s mouth and tackling her down on the bed. She straddled Bette’s hips and said, "Bette, don’t you dare think that. Don’t you dare! I would be honored if you carried our child Bette, I just, I just didn’t know you wanted to do that baby."

Bette mumbled something from behind Tina’s hand but Tina pressed her hand down tighter.

"Now you let me finish," Tina said. "Look Bette, when we first decided to have a child you made this big deal about your body and how you didn’t want to change that, and that being pregnant would really affect your art career. When you suggested another child I figured you had the same mentality so I didn’t think to ask."
