"No…Well yea, sort of… I needed to take him for a walk and I got in the car and seemed to drive over here subconciously. I parked and figured that it was now or never, ya know? Mack kind of has a radar for babies." she said smilingly. "They’re beautiful by the way."

"Thank you." Tina said softly.

"I forgave you a long time ago Jus." she said interrupting the brief silence they fell into. "A long time ago. I had to, I owed it to Bette and myself to start with an open heart. No matter how scary and difficult you made that." Tina said and felt a little sad that these words needed to be said between them.

"Thank you. was all she could really say to such a gift she knew she didn’t deserve for all of her actions.

"Hey Jus?" Tina said still looking over to her babies.

"Yes." she said very anxiously.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Immediately Justine stiffened, she knew these questions were going to be asked she just didn’t know it was going to be today. Nonetheless she steadied herself and answered, "Sure."

"That day… if we hadn’t fought. If I hadn’t have gone to see Bette and kissed her, do you think we would’ve gotten married?" Tina looked over to her for the first time and saw the same deep eyes that always pierced right through her.

"Honestly?"

"Always." she smiled back.

"Yes. But I don’t think we would’ve lasted long."

"Damn." she smiled at Justine’s honesty. "My parents had us at 3 years." she laughed and nudged her shoulder.

"No I’m serious. Because eventually you would’ve started to hate me, and I you. And maybe one night someone you or Bette would’ve reacted to what comes so naturally to you two. And your better than the guilt that would’ve been associated with that, ya know?"

"Well I see you’ve put some thought into it." Tina smiled at her very broad hypothetical answer.

"Well before you marry someone, you start to question all the things that brought you to that point in your life, and believe it or not I started to hate myself for what I had and could’ve done to you. So I analyzed and over analyzed myself before taking that step."
