Sitting in Bettes living room, Carmen and Shane are looking around. Shane has her head are Carmens lap kissing her belly. Carmen is running her fingers through Shanes hair.

Carmen: Babe, do you think we were right in telling Bette?

Shane: Yes, looking around here, this is not her home. Remember how her house was, she had paintings and different art statues around. There is no warmth here. Just a place she comes to, to sleep.

Carmen: True. But what if she finds out, she is going to be very upset with us.

Shane: Babe, if she does, all we can hope for is that after time passes she will be able to forgive us. I need to call Alice and let her know that Bette is on her way. Shane sits up and dials Alices cell.

Alice: Hello.

Shane: Hey, she is on her way. She should be there around 2am. Are you going to meet her?

Alice: Great, yeah I will be there to pick her up. What flight is she coming on?

Shane: You are not going to believe this, but Bette has her own jet she will be coming in on. So you will need to be around the private jet way to catch her.

Alice: Damn, Bette is living large huh? Ok, how did she take the news?

Shane: Well Alice, how would you take it if you just found out you had a daughter?

Alice: Oh, I see, not to good huh? Well I hope this works.

Shane: Alice stick with the plan, dont let your emotion come into play. We need to get Bette and Tina to talk.

Alice: I know, but Shane you know if Tina finds out she is going to be pissed. We did make a promise to her.

Shane: I know, but that promise was made four years ago and on the condition she was staying with Helena. Helena is out of the picture and Tina needs to face what is going on, I only hope Bette will be able to get her to do that.

Alice: I hope so. I will inform the gang and let them know everything has started.

Shane: Ok, talk to you later. Bye

Alice: Bye

Shane hangs up and starts to wonder around Bettes place. She walks into Bettes bedroom and see a picture on the night stand. She picks it up and Carmen leans over her shoulder.

Shane: See babe, we were right. We are doing the right thing. Bette is still in love with T.

Carmen: they are both still in love with each other. Hopefully they can put their stubbornness aside and work this out.

Shane: They will, I know they will. Shane turns into Carmen and kisses her. Lets go get something to eat.

Meanwhile, on the plane Bette has every emotion going through her body. She has a daughter, her one true love never told her, and there is something wrong. Why didnt she tell me? This would have changed everything. I would not have left; I would have stayed and fought for her. Oh lord please dont let anything happen to Tina, I promise I will do anything to make this right. Five hours later, Bette arrives and the terminal and she see someone familiar.

Bette: Alice, Alice is that you? Bette walks over to her and hugs her.

Alice: Oh Bette, is good to see you. She hugs Bette in return.

Bette: How did you know I was coming in?

Alice: Shane called me. I know this is a shock to you, so I didnt want you to be by yourself. They are walking out of the airport.

Alice: Bette you can stay with me and Dana, we have an extra room.

Bette: Thanks Alice, but I already called Kit and told her I was coming. She has a place for me.

Alice: Alright let me give you a ride to Kits.

Bette: That sounds great. Alice, tell me the truth. What is going on with Tina?

Alice is sitting both hands on the wheel, staring straight out the windshield. She doesnt know how to answer Bette. Damn Shane you didnt cover this.

Alice: Bette, sweetie I not sure where to start.

Bette: It is always best to start at the beginning.
Alice: Ok. Well we all thought after Helena left a couple of years ago, that Tina would get back into her old routine. I mean she was fine, she come out and hang with us, but there was something miss you know? Then we all started noticing she was losing weight and she just became a work alcoholic like you use to be.

Bette: Is she depressed? What about the baby?

Alice: I dont know Bette, she maybe depressed, but she doesnt talk about it. As for Alex, she is so adorable, she talks a mile a minute and she loves to draw.

Bette: Shane showed me a picture of her. She is beautiful.

Alice: Bette, she is you, but a miniature of you.

Bette: Alice, how come no one told me? Were you all that mad at me?

Alice: No Bette, we were not mad at you, we did understand way you left. Helena made it clear to all of us that it was a pregnancy that her and Tina decide on.

Bette: Ok, I know yall are not the stupid to think that a pregnancy only last 7 to 8 months? What did they say she was premature? Bette rolled her eyes when she stated that.

Alice: As a matter of fact, yes. Tina had to have an emergency c-section and Helena said the baby was premature. Bette, we really didnt talk much or see Tina when she was with Helena. It was like Helena did not want Tina around her friends or family. She kept Tina basically hidden at the house by the beach. We didnt see Alex until she was like a year old. That is when Kit notice that Alex really resembled you. Alice pulled up into Kits driveway.

Bette: Thanks Alice, for everything.

Alice: No problem.

Bette: Alice can I ask you something?

Alice: Sure, what is it?

Bette: Where is Tina?

Alice: Umm, she bought your old house Bette.

Bette: Thanks. Good night or should I say good morning (Laughing)

Alice: Goodnight Bette, call me when you get up ok.

Bette: Sure. Cya

Bette started walking up the drive when Kit runs out and grabs Bette for a big hug.

Kit: Hey baby sis, how are you.

Bette: I dont know Kit, I dont know how I am. She hugs Kit and they walk into the house together.
