In that moment of darkness, she saw two figures against the door. On the bed kissing and eventually the man took her in her arms towards the door. She stood outside looking in on them. The woman was gasping at this point. Her skirt hiked up as he entered her. One hand in his hair and another hand with curled fingers that left fresh pink marks on his back, she closed her eyes in deep concentration. The motion of their bodies mesmerizing and overwhelming her.

Thud. Bump. Thud. Bump. More gasp.

Her mouth dropped open as shivers ran up her spine. His grunts became louder and more rapid. They were close. A symphony of release broke out. When they finally relaxed on the bed, a picture frame made her crumble.

There, a beautiful couple but it was clearly not the duo on the bed. A happy blonde looking so in love with the tall brunette. Both lost in each other’s sight. A candid snap of love that explains everything she didn’t know before.

“Tina, are you sure you want to do this?” The question brought more anger to the surface although it was never really hidden in the first place.

“I mean it is her daughter too.” She continued to glare at the voice.

“I can’t risk losing Angie again.” She added tightly.

“That’s why she did it in the first place. You were threatening to take her daughter away-“

“And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I don’t fucking believe it. Do you know what I went through not knowing if I’ll ever see my daughter again? She left. She fucking left without any indication whatsoever.”

Amidst her outburst, she realizes something. It settles in her but another part of her refuses to acknowledge that ridiculous notion. The hypocrisy is too much for the others as well. As they continue to stare at her in complete disbelief.

“Kit, come on. It’s ok. Everything is gonna be ok. Right?” The role reversal wasn’t lost on her. She smiled through the tears. The doctors warned her that there may be a chance that this may happen.

“It’s gonna be ok. We’ll through this just fine. Let’s just focus on the good side,” There just wasn’t much if any at the moment. She could only blame on fate. Regardless of everything, Bette was trying hard to let some of her new found positivity shine through the disturbing revelation. Maybe it was a sign. It was a new start for her as well as for the little one. Kit only managed a sad smile at her baby sis. Such strength displayed at times like this. Only Bette. Only her baby Bette.

“Fuck you. Fuck you, Tina.” They watched in horror as the hand landed on her cheeks swiftly. The impact resulted in a loud smack. Kit was beyond livid at this point. Tina was dumb folded at this point. Before she could even react or retaliate, Kit broke down once more onto Angus’s shoulder.

Her loud sobs caught everyone by surprise. Their curiosity is further hiked up when they all managed to notice the absence of their other friend, Kit’s baby sis, Tina’s victim in this matter. Better Porter was nowhere to be found for weeks already and it worried them the most.

It was the eighth week after Bette woke up in the hospital, which was eight days after she was found naked in a dark alley, eight hours after she was left there right after she was raped.

Eight times today she had taken the test and got it confirmed every single time.

Bette Porter was indeed pregnant.
