Our fears for whatever, whether it be of love, commitment, intimacy, failure or wearing the color green on Thursdays are part and parcel of our entire being.  We cant separate them and tell them to go to their room.  They get angry and they grow bigger, often breaking out on their terms in the most destructive ways.

And for Bette Porter, they broke out big time.  They grew very big and very angry.   It was only through the anguish and pain of hurting and losing Tina that she came to understand the truth behind revealing your identity with all its flaws to the person you love.

Hindsight is always 20/20.  Its perfect because we know now what we should have done then.  The trick is carrying the knowledge youve learned from that experience into today and tomorrow and all the tomorrows after that – try your best to make Hindsight an every day thing.

And thats just what Bette is going to try to do.   Tina took her back and offered her hand if and whenever Bette faltered.  For Tina, for her daughter and for herself the only true thing to do is give her fears their freedom. 

She didnt realize how deep in thought she was.  Babe, you okay?

Um? Oh, yeah, T, Im fine.  I was just doing a lot of self-processing.  Bet youd never hear me say that now, eh?  A little scary! Bette walked over closer to Tina.

Come here

Oh, T, youre not allowed to say those words for six weeks now.

Bette leaned down and Tina pulled her in for a very heated kiss.  Bette thought back to last night and the fire that erupted within them from just this kind of kiss. 

She pulled back, T, be good now.

Tina arched her eyebrow, Oh, dont worry, baby.  When the six weeks are up I plan on being very, very good.

Oh, jeez, this is going to be the longest six weeks on record

Hey, moms, time for a feeding.

T, if its all right with you, while youre taking care of Angelica, Im going to go put the infant seat in the car so its all ready for when we go home tomorrow.
