Tina: What about Alex?

Bette: Oh come on Tina, you were what four or five months pregnant when I left. She stands up and starts to pace around. Why didnt you tell me you were carrying our child?

Tina: Bette we werent even talking and I Bette interrupts her.

Bette: Dont give me that *****, you could have told me. Instead you and Helena try to pass her off as bring both of yours. Did you really think anyone would believe you?

Tina: That was not my ideal. What difference would it have made if I did tell you? You still would have left; you said you did not have anything left here. Tina was starting to get very angry. I tried to talk to you before you left, you did not want to hear anything.

Bette: That is such bullshit. Tina how hard is it to say Bette I tried a few months after we lost our son and I wanted to make sure this one took before I told you. See Tina not hard at all.

Tina: Bette, if you would have paid any attention to me you would have seen for yourself the changes I was going through, but instead again you were wrapped up in your own little world and nothing could have broken through. Just then the door bell rung. Here comes Alex rushing out of her bedroom to answer it.

Alex: I got it mommy. Oh lord Tina thought, who else could possibly show up this morning. Mommy, it is Aunt Alice, Aunt Dana and Kit mommy. Come in, there a lady here she has the same name as me. Well almost her name is my middle name.

Alice: Really, and how is my little munchkin doing this bright and sunny morning? Alice looks up and around to see Bette and Tina standing in the front room. Well good morning to you too. Were not interrupting anything are we? They all walk in and Alex closes the door. She is holding Kits hand and tugging on it. Alex whisper to Kit.

Alex: Kit doesnt Bette look like me? She has the same hair and skin color. Does it she?

Kit: Yes she does little one. That she does. Kit walks into the front room where everyone is.

Tina: So what bring all of you over here this morning? Oh never mind let me guess. You all knew Bette was here in yall just happen to show up to make sure things did not get out of hand. Alex, sweetie I really need for you to go to your room right now, so mommy can talk.

Alex: But mommy I want to visit with everyone. She pouting and Bette walks over to her.

Bette: Hey little one, I know you want to visit with your aunts and Kit, but I really need to talk to your mommy about groan up stuff, but it wont take long ok.

Alex: Ok She runs to her room.

Tina: I could have handled that.

Bette: What just like you handled your pregnancy? Never mind, just answer me this did you use the sperm from that we banked?

Tina looked to Bette then to Kit and Alice.

Bette: Dont look for them to help you out, just answer my question.

Alice: Porter, stop being rude.

Bette: Alice stay out of it. Yall didnt have anything to say four years ago so dont say anything now.

Tina: Yes, but Bette interrupts her. She walks around the couch and gets right into Tinas face and a quietly as for no one else to hear she says.

Bette: Then that is my daughter and I promise you this I will do everything in my power to get my rights to her. I do not care how much time passes you will pay for keeping her from me. You better get use to me coming around to visit. With that said, she walks out the door.

Tina just flops on to the couch, puts her face into her hands, and starts to cry.
