Hey, hey. Tina, whats going on? is just a date not the end of the world you know Calm down, Tina, please, I cant take see you cry

Why didnt you tell me Alice, you should have known

What? Where? How?

I… just wasnt ready to see her Alice Tina cried some more and she could barely even… God Alice, will this pain ever go away? she cried openly now, Alice just hold her she knew there was nothing more she could do.

A couple of hours later she woke up with a start, Alice and Dana where on the kitchen she could hear them, she took a deep breath, just to try to steady herself hoping everything would go away when she exhaled the air out, didnt happen of course, she look at the wall clock 9:22 god will this day ever going to end. She got up, she needed some answers.

Bette was smiling but got a little serious You promise me to be very careful with the all that stuff, right?

You know I am mommy I dont want to get hurt

Okay then, now lets go to bed, you need to be wide awake tomorrow Bette took Jessie to her room and tuck her into bed.

Want me to read you something Bette asked

Nah, I just dont want you to be sad, Mom love us very much, mommy

I know baby Bette wanted to cry, but not in front of Jessie, so she smiled, kissed her one last time and head it to her bedroom, willing her guilt to remain in check. Yes she was sad and yes she was thinking of someone, just that someone wasnt Jessies mom.

Ps: maggie, am sorry for blow up the double date, maybe Ill make it up for you later!!!
