    Author Notes:

    In the middle.

    "You need to talk to her." Alice said softly, getting up and joining Tina at the dining table. "I don’t know what went wrong, or what she said, but it couldn’t be that bad."

    "No." Tina looked Alice straight in the eye. "It was that bad."

    Alice sighed again. "I know Porter can be such an ***** sometimes, and she can be a little cruel. Trust me, I know. I’ve been there.But she loves you, and right now, despite her actions, we know that she needs you."

    "Alice." Tina said sharply, drawing Alice’s attention. "Bette said things. Things that should never be repeated. I love Bette, we all know that. I have swallowed the bitter pill and I’m here for her, because she called and told me she needed me. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for her."

    "But you–"

    "But I cannot be her emotional punching bag. I’m trying to recover the part of me that loves her unconditionally but I can’t do that if she continues to want to make me the enemy for leaving."

    "But she’s not the enemy either, T. She made a mistake. People do that. We make mistakes." Alice looked earnestly at her friend. "We all make mistakes. And Bette made a catastrophic one, but that’s no reason to strike her off."

    Tina turned back to her laptop monitor. "When’s the funeral?"

    "Wake’s tomorrow, funeral’s the day after that." Alice informed her, acknowledging Tina’s retreat. "You gonna go?"

    "Oh, yeah," Tina said sarcastically. "Because Bette’s gonna love that."

    "Okay, Miss Sarcastic, that’s enough. She needs you. Do you have any idea what it took for her to even admit to that, much less ask you to come?" Alice interjected. "Because if you know her, then you would know that she swallowed a lot of pride to ask you to come. If you haven’t noticed, Bette Porter doesn’t like to ask people for help, even when she needs it. But she called you, telling you she needed you. Are you really just going to let a few harsh words get in the way of–"

    "She said it was no wonder I lost our baby." Tina blurted out.

    Alice stopped, her jaw dropping, and stared at her. "She what?"

    "Yeah." Tina nodded. "So I’m sorry if I’m not measuring up to everybody’s high expectations of how much abuse I can take."
