Turning away from the living room she entered the kitchen. She saw a lot of take-out containers and empty bottles of water waiting to be refilled. She should do that before she leaves. Leaving the kitchen she ventured down the hall and paused outside the master bedroom. Memories of her last visit here filled her head and Tina faltered. Taking in a deep breath she pushed open the door with a turn of the handle.

When the door swung open Tina wasnt sure what she was really expecting to see but the room was how it always was. Knickknacks of their time together strewn about the room. It was also very clean. She had to smile at Bettes propensity for cleanliness. At least in the bedroom.

Grabbing a bag she knew would be in the closet she pulled it out and began packing some of Bettes things. After packed she headed out but stopped outside of the guest room. The door was closed and yet there was the soft glow of light coming underneath the door. She shouldnt go in there just go to the hospital.

Curiosity got the better of her and Tina opened the door and stepped inside. Tina stopped dead in her tracks at what she saw as the bag fell from her hand and hit the carpeted floor with a soft thud.

It was a babies room. When had Bette done this? It looked like it would have taken a long time. Tina could tell that Bette had done it herself. She could see her artistic touches. As if pulled by gravity Tinas eyes fell upon the mobile hanging over the crib. Going closer she reached out to touch one of the globes hanging from the ceiling. The light shown through the multicolored glass balls casting a beautiful light throughout the room.

Tina felt something wet hit her hand. Looking down she saw that it had been a tear. She was softly crying and she hadnt even known it. Tina quietly sobbed as she took in the room around her. This was so much better than the room that Helena had had built for the baby without even considering how Tina had felt about the whole thing. This, though, was amazing and Tina was touched in a way that she hadnt been in a long time. Her feelings toward Bette had been slowly growing back toward love as she took in the changes that Bette had been making since Tina had left.

Their day of passion proved that as well. Slowly backing out of the room taking a mental picture that she would remember for the rest of her life Tina closed the behind her and picked up the bag she had dropped and quietly left this house behind to head to the hospital to help Bette, despite everything, still her love.
