After half an hour, Tina slide down to lay facing the brunette before falling into a deep slumber herself. She didn’t hear the soft whimpering and incoherent phrases that the brunette had uttered in her nightmare…

No…

“Fuck me, Henry… Harder. Fuck me… Harder!”

“Oh, God… Yes, yes…. UH!”

Please, stop it…

“I need you Bette…”

“I’m leaving you…”

“Please, Bette…”

NO… Please…

“Angie is going to be a part of our family…”

“You’re never going to see her again!”

NO, Tina!!!

Cold sweats were trailing down her face, allowing her curls to stick to her forehead. Her shirt stuck to her body a little and she felt suffocated. The pale arm that was draped loosely on her waist were no longer offering comfort but rather sending her a sense of distress. She moved her body away slowly from the bed and quickly dashed to the bathroom. Kneeling before the toilet bowl, she emptied her stomach. It was becoming her habit. The nightmares grew even more frequent after her rekindled sexless romance with Tina. It was the first time she had such intense visions. Bette was beginning to doubt the authenticity of some of her visions. It was such a contrast between the Tina she is now falling in love with and the Tina in her dreams.

As Bette proceed to wash herself, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The pregnancy wasn’t going as smoothly as she hoped. She had a very hard time gaining the necessary weight and it was constantly being a sore point with both Tina and the gang. Kit was already angry with her about moving back to the house after her hospitalization. She felt that everyone was looking out for her. It was supposed to be a good thing that they care so much about her but Bette just couldn’t shake off the annoyance at their behaviour. She was feeling very helpless at the moment with her pregnancy, her inability to e intimate with Tina, and those reoccurring dreams.

Finally, after another dinner party out in her backyard, she confessed about those nightmares but never really revealing the contents of it. She couldn’t tell them that they were all about Tina’s estrangement from her as well as the threat to take Angie away from her. Bette wasn’t sure Tina could take anymore abuse from Kit and Alice over Bette’s insecurities.
