Denbo went to jail, but a week and a half ago she was released for good behavior and put back on probation.  Kelly was still on probation from her DUI conviction.  Because of their probations, they couldn’t leave Fairview…but at least Bette, Tina, and their friends didn’t have to work with those sick bitches anymore. 

**************************************************

Bette thought back to their last visit to Dr. Wilson’s office as she showered.  They found out that their household was about to double!  They were expecting twins!!  Bette fainted right out on the floor.  Tina was concerned that Bette may have hurt herself.  After a few seconds they were able to get her off the floor and conscious again.  After the initial shock, she was ecstatic.

Now the only surprise left was if they were going to have boys or girls.  Bette smiled thinking of the future she would have with Tina.  She was going to be a mother.  Before she met Tina, the idea of being a mother was the last thing she thought she would ever be.  She loved her own mother, and couldn’t imagine having a more perfect childhood….she just didn’t see motherhood for herself.  The day she met Tina, all of that changed.

When Bette told Maxine and Melvin that they were going to be grandparents, Melvin told every friend he had that he was going to be a grandpa!  They memorized the airline schedule for every flight from Chicago to LA, so that when Tina went into labor there would be no wasted time in getting there.

***************************************************

Tina and Bette walk out of the house to go their appointment when Alice drives up.  Bette opens the door for Tina to get in the car.

“Let’s  hurry…if she starts talking we’ll never get there on time.”

“Porter you can’t leave….I blocked you in.”

Bette looks up and sees the crazy parking job blocking her in to her own driveway.

“Move Alice….we’re on our way to Dr. Wilson’s office.  We don’t have time for your gossip, right now.  Wait.  Why aren’t you at school?  You’re supposed to be in class right now!”

“Don’t worry about school right now.  I’m here because I value my life.  I knew if I didn’t tell you this as soon as I found out that you’d have me killed…especially after we kept that last incident a secret.  I’m just glad Tina is here to keep you from hurting the messenger.”

Bette totally focused on Alice.  Tina got out of the car and put her arm around Bette.  She knew Bette understood why everyone kept them in the dark about the ‘Skank drama’ of 3 months ago…but the control freak in Bette Porter didn’t like knowing that she had no idea of the depth of deception perpetrated on them by Dawn Denbo and Kelly Wentworth.

“What did you find out?”

“You’ll never believe who just bought She-Bar.”
