Bette: Baby, are you doing better?

Tina (sighs): Oh yeah, thank god!

Bette: Did I give you what you need?

Tina: You did more than that; you’ve put me off the market forever!

Bette: Good to hear but we still need to talk later but for right now, get out of that dress and into the shower while I check on Angie. I’ll cook breakfast for all of us. (With that, Bette patted Tina on the ass and Tina got up from the bed and gave Bette a strange look.)

Tina: Since when have you become a masochistic pig?!

Bette (taken aback by Tina’s reaction): What did I do to make you say such a thing?

Tina (starting to cry): The way you talked to me and how you slapped my ass!

Bette (pulling the covers off her and getting up from the bed): Tina, I did not mean to make feel you this way; I thought you liked me this way.

Tina (crying harder): I don’t like it when you treat me like an object; in fact I fucking hate it! I love the Alpha Bette not the masochistic Bette!

(Bette slipped on a robe and went over to Tina, gently taking her in arms and holding her tightly.)

Bette (kissing Tina’s locks): You’re right baby, I wasn’t being Alpha, I was being a down right jerk and I am so sorry. You aren’t an object, you are my wife and I love you very much.

Tina (still crying): I love too and I’m sorry for going ape shit on you but my mind is so fucked up at the moment!

Bette: I wish I could do something to make you feel better. How about you take a warm bath and I’ll make you a wonderful breakfast? (Tina looked up at Bette with tears streaming down her face and Bette kissed them away gently.)

Tina: I would like that.

Bette (smiling sweet at Tina): I love you so very much, sweetheart.

Tina: I love you so very much too and could you just hold me a little more, I just need to feel secure.

Bette: Of course, my baby!

(Bette continued to hold and kiss Tina for a few minutes until Tina felt calm enough to go and take a bath. Bette checked on Angelica and she was indeed wide awake. Bette changed her and then brought her out in the dining room and sat her in her high chair.)
