“Okay.” Megan says and exit the apartment again.

“Maybe we can take her with us tomorrow?” Tina suggests to Bette.

“Yeah sure.” Bette says.

Bette pulls Tina down on her lap. She starts playing with her hair.

“Are we good?” Tina asks softly, looking up into Bette’s eyes.

“Yeah, we are.” Bette says and leans down and places a soft kiss on Tina’s forehead.

They stay in silence for a few moments, Tina with her eyes closed as Bette keeps playing with her hair.

“It was a camera I wanted. A film camera, which I thought was too expensive in a Christmas gift.” Tina suddenly says after a few minutes.

“A camera, that’s what you want?” Bette asks, just to make sure she heard her right.

“Yes, it was. But not anymore. I don’t need it. It almost ruined us. Not gonna let that happen, ever.” Tina says.

“It wasn’t that, it was me, who got a little too scared for my own good. Please let me buy you a great and nice gift.” Bette says.

Tina sighs and closes her eyes briefly.

“You won’t let this go will you?” Tina asks.

“I’d rather not. I really want to get you something.” Bette replies with a smile.

“Fine.” Tina says.

“Thank you.” Bette whispers before she leans down and kiss her again.

They sit in silence for a few moments more before Tina talks.

“We survived our first fight.” She says and looks up at Bette.

“Yeah, we did. I hope we doen’t have more of them.” Bette says.

“We’re bound to have more babe, but we’ll get through them.” Tina says. “I don’t want to spoil the moment here, but would you help me change the bandage?” Tina asks.

“Off course, come on.” Bette says and pushes Tina up and then helps her up. She takes her hand and starts walking towards the bedroom, where they have the extra stuff. Tina stops and pulls Bette back and into her arms.

“I love you more than anything.” Tina whispers as she hugs Bette tightly. A few tears finds its way down her cheek too.

“I love you too baby.” Bette replies and eases out of the hug to look at Tina. “Oh sweety, it’s okay.” Bette says as she softly strokes Tina’s tears away and kisses her on the forehead. “Come on.” Bette says and takes Tina’s hand again as they walk into the bedroom.

Later that night.

“Tee, would you like to go out afterall?” Bette asks.

“Do you?” Tina asks looking up into Bette’s eyes.

“I will if you want to, but I’m more than happy to stay here with you.” Bette says and smiles.

Tina thinks for a few seconds. She smiles at Bette.

“You want to go out?” Bette asks again, this time seeing that Tina want to.

“Actually yes, I would like that. I would love to show you off.” Tina says with a grin.

“You would?” Bette asks surprised.

“This, me being here, back home and having you with me. Is for me the final step of the coming out process. And with you by my side, I know it will be okay.” Tina says.

“Okay then, we’ll go out. I promised you that meal.” Bette says and leans in for a kiss. “Let’s change this thing then.” Bette says.

“Yeah.” Tina agrees.
