Alice looked completely stunned and her face reddened. Tina just nodded and smiled fakely and Bette crossed her arms over her chest with a scoff. Only Shane actually sat up straight and said, "congratulations guys."

"Yeah congratulations," Tina said with a low growl.

"That’s not important really," Alice said waving her hand, "now Tina what was your news?"

Tonya looked monumentally pissed and Dana looked shocked by Alice’s reaction.

"Uh okay," Tina said smiling. "I’m pregnant again, Bette and I are trying again."

Loud chatter came from their friends who said, "oh that’s great!"

"I’m so happy for you!"

"Congratulations, you will be great!"

Then came Tonya’s response, "so you’re the pregnant one Tina?"

Tina nodded tentatively.

"So how is Bette having the baby with you?" Tonya said.

Bette let out a growl of anger and snapped, "that baby is as mine as it is Tina’s. I chose the donor, this baby will look like both of us!"

"That doesn’t make the baby yours," Tonya said.

Bette’s jaw hardened in anger as the harsh words her father said started ringing true in her mind. She banged the table with her hand stood up and walked out of the Planet.

"Hey Tonya," Tina spat angrily, "you’re a real piece of work." With the swipe of her arm the table flipped over surprising everyone in the little cafe.

Bette saw the act through the window and chuckled softly. "I guess there was no avoiding the table flippin thing."

"So you knew it would happen?" Shane’s voice startled Bette who almost jumped out of her skin.

"Oh Shane you scared me," Bette breathed.

"And you’re scaring me," Shane said, "what is up with you Bette?"

"If I told you you’d never believe me," Bette said with a sigh.

"Try me," Shane challenged.

"Bette, baby," Tina said grabbing Bette’s hand, "are you okay?"

"Yeah I’m fine," Bette said, "I just can’t stand that woman, I can’t wait til Alice…"

Shane cocked an eyebrow.

"Until Alice what baby?" Tina asked.

"Never mind," Bette said shaking her head, "let’s get out of here."

Shane gave Bette a look that said ‘you’re not avoiding me.’ Bette tore her gaze away and walked with Tina to the car.

"What the hell am I doing here?" Alice muttered breathlessly as she rang the doorbell of Dana’s mansion. The wind had already picked up and it was about to rain.

Dana opened the door and looked surprised at Alice’s late night visit. "Alice what are you doing here?"

"You can’t marry her," Alice said suddenly.

Dana looked confused, "what?"

"Baby is there a problem?" Tonya called out.

"No," Dana said stepping outside and closing the door behind her. "Now Alice what do you mean I ca…"

Dana was cut off by Alice’s lips pressing firmly against hers. Dana staggered back in surprise and Alice pulled away muttering, "sorry, sorry, I don’t know why I did that."

Then Alice turned to leave but Dana grabbed her arm and twirled her around. She pulled her closer with her strong arms and kissed her hungrily. Alice responded eagerly, touching every part of Dana’s body she could.

They broke apart breathlessly and a guilty expression formed on Dana’s face. Without a word Dana slipped back into the house and shut the door. Alice was stunned and confused.

She had always loved Dana but never in the sort of way where she was sexually attracted to her. She loved the shy introverted Dana like a sister, but this new out in the open Dana turned her on to no end.

But was it just lust?

Everyone lusted after their best friends at one point or another. Alice backed away from the mansion as the rain started to fall. She didn’t mind getting soaked her mind was in flurry of confusion.

Reaching her blue mini cooper Alice said, "yeah it’s just lust." She got in the car, "just lust…right?"
