Dana broke the silence by uttering: “What, How, When, ” she couldn’t put a sentence together. Shane stood up and went to congratulate them. She was so happy for Bette and Tina. Seeing them together gave her hope, hope that her relationship with Carmen could work.

Alice was the only one that remained silent. Everybody was watching Alice. She broke into a big grin as she said: “It’s about time!”

Bette and Tina told them the whole story and answered all their questions. When Tina let out several yawns they decided to go home so Tina could take a nap.

Back at their house:

Tina sat down on the couch and took off her shoes. Her ankles were swollen and her feet hurt. Bette sat down next to her and took Tina’s feet into her lap. She started massaging them. “Oh baby, that feels so good!” Tina moaned. Bette continued massaging Tina’s feet as she said: “Baby, there’s something I need to show you.” Tina opened her eyes and looked at Bette. “Really, what is it?” Bette got up and helped Tina up from the couch. They walked to the guest room and waited at the door. Bette turned around. “I hope you like it!” She opened the door and guided Tina inside.

Tina gasped at the site before her. Bette had changed the guest room into a baby room. This is beautiful, Tina thought. Way better than the room at Helena’s place. Bette had put her heart and soul into this room. This was amazing. Tina turned to Bette. “Baby, this is absolutely amazing!” Bette stepped closer to Tina and took her into her arms. “You like?” Bette asked looking around the room. “I love!” Tina replied “And I know she will love it too!” She said as she put her hands on her belly. Bette kissed Tina. The kiss turned more passionate. “Baby, let’s take this to the bedroom.” Tina said as she took Bette’s hand and led her to the bedroom. Tina opened the door and was about to walk in but Bette stopped her. Tina turned and looked at Bette. “What’s wrong baby?” Tina asked her. “I, well I’ve ” Bette took a deep breath before she said: “I haven’t walked into that room since the night that, well since the night you left.” Tina looked into the room. “The bed is made.” Tina noticed. “Yeah, Kit did that. I know it sounds stupid, but I just couldn’t bring myself to it, to walk into the room. Not after what happened. I almost raped you that night Tina.” Bette took a step back. She was ashamed of what she did that night, but she thought that everything was going to be ok. Tears formed in her eyes as she remembered the most horrible night of her life.

Tina was also remembering that night. Horrible things had happened in that room. But that was in the past. She took a step towards Bette and took her hands in her own. “Baby look at me!” she demanded softly. Bette lifted her gaze from the floor and met Tina’s eyes. “It wasn’t just your fault. We both did some terrible things that night. But like you said before, that’s in the past. Now what do you say we face this demon of our past and make some new memories, memories of our future?” Bette just nodded her head. Tina kissed Bette, softly at first, but the kiss soon grew more passionate. While kissing, Tina walked backwards into the room and pulled Bette along with her. When her knees hit the bed she lay down with Bette on top of her.

New memories were made that night!
