LA.

Tina, are you ok? Bette asked from the other side of the bathroom door. Tina had disappeared about 3 minutes ago.

Yeah, just morning sickness. Tina answered leaving the bathroom looking a shade or two paler.

Well youll forgive me if I dont kiss you then.

Of course baby.

Talking to me or the little one. Bette joked.

The little one of course. Why on earth would I want to talk to you? Tina shot back.

Are you two done, Danas on the phone and she sounds very happy, well either that or shes high. Alice told them.

Ok. Bette went into the living room and out the phone on speakerphone and heard Dana, sounding very happy.

Dana? Tina said.

She said yes.

Yes? They all shared confused looks.

Dana can you explain what she said yes too? Alice yelled. Jesus Bette said she could be inconsistent but this was ridiculous.

Theyre gonna be the next Bette n Tina. Shane yelled, obviously very drunk.

You proposed? Bette asked, she thought this was Dana but this didnt sound right.

Yep, and she said yes. Dana told them, maybe she was a little drunk but she was dying to tell her friends what was going on.

They managed to end the phone call when Beths brothers dragged her and Dana away. In LA Beth and Danas engagement became topic of conversation, with Tina and Bettes imminent arrival seconded just for now.
