Gees, Bette. Tina said walking into the house and closing the door. You look bad. Bette shrugged.

I havent had time to look nice, T. Im going out of my mind and…what are you doing here? She asked taking a seat on the couch and throwing her face into her hands. T, i need you right now. She said forcing the tears away. Tina stumbled to Bettes aid and touched her hand.

Im here. She said helping Bette stand up and holding her in her arms. Im not going anywhere Bette. She promised, whispering that into her ear.

Thanks… She muttered in Tinas ear. Tina silently pulled away.

Bette i mean that. I dont want to leave. I know this probably isnt the greatest time but Ive been thinking and…i want to stay there now. I think its time we have our family. Bette raised an eyebrow.

Tina…are…are you sure? She asked.

I want to yes. I think its time to say goodbye to the past and when i bring our baby back from the hospital…i want to bring her back here. Bette let a tear fall.

Thats the good news i needed to hear. She swore kissing Tina on her check wondering if it would be acceptable to kiss her harder on the lips. However she didnt have to wait for an answer because Tina kissed her and smiled.

Now when i need an ice cream run, youre on call. She joked.

Id be honored. Bette swore holding Tina close to her. Dont leave again okay? Tina didnt plan to.

Carmen came back with a coffee and an unsatisfied look on her face. Youd think a friend of the owner Id get more respect up there. She joked.

See you have to have ***** with the friend first. Shane offered picking up her coffee and taking a sip.

What now i have to sleep with Alice too? She joked setting down her drink and grabbing a newspaper. Hey, do you know any used record stores? She asked.

A few. This one down a few miles always has good *****. I can give you directions, if you want. Carmen drank a little more of her coffee.

Or we could go together. She offered bring a small smile to Shanes face. It could be our first date. she said standing up.

Okay but im L.A. its a rule to have ***** on the first date. Shane swore standing up with her.

Well see how well you do first, okay? she joked walking out of the Planet with Shane following quickly behind. None of their lives were perfect, not even close. But they wouldnt change it for the world. For they were who they were because of the pain, the anger, and the happiness they experienced living their lives. Alice and Dana, Tina and Bette, and Shane and Carmen all had something better then a fairy tale. They had the rest of there lives to live happily ever after, right now they wanted to live. One step, one day, one decision at a time.
