Bette groaned but didn’t open her eyes.

"Bette, wake up! Please baby, please!" Tina insisted.

Bette groaned as her eyes opened slowly. 

"Bette?" Tina said softly caressing her cheek, "baby?"

"T-Tina?" Bette groaned.

"Oh Bette!" Tina cried kissing Bette’s lips passionately. She pecked her lips over and over again muttering, "oh thank God, thank God."

"Y-you want me," Bette said suddenly.

Tina looked at her questioningly.

"You want me," Bette said with a small chuckle, "I feel it you want me."

Tina felt tears well up in her eyes, it was true. Just a few minutes ago she was ready to leave Bette for a man and now she couldn’t imagine her life without her.

"Oh baby yes, I want you so much," Tina said, "for the rest of my life. I just hate that it took all this to realize it."

"Babe?" Bette said in a scared tone.

"What babe?" Tina said.

"Are my eyes open?" Bette said.

Tina’s eyes widened, "y-yes."

Bette’s breathing picked up, "then why can’t I see?"

Tina started crying, "oh God Bette why didn’t you put your seatbelt! Why!?"

Bette started panicking and tried to move only to howl as pain spread through her body.

"Bette stay still please, the ambulance is coming, maybe it’s not permanent," Tina said.

"Ahh Tina it hurts!" Bette cried.

"I know baby I know, just stay still," Tina said.

"What if they don’t make it on time? What if I die here!" Bette said.

"Don’t say that!" Tina cried gripping Bette’s cheeks, "don’t say that!"

"I don’t wanna die without having seen your face again," Bette said.

"Stop talking like that!" Tina cried.

"Our little girl," Bette whimpered, "I wanna see her. I want my little girl."

"You’re gonna see her again Bette, you are," Tina said.

"Then distract me, get this pain off my mind," Bette cried, "is it true Angie said mama the other day?"

"Yes, she did," Tina said caressing Bette’s hair. "She was calling you."

Bette smiled, "me? Really?"

"Yes because she loves you," Tina said caressing Bette’s cheek, "just like I do."

"Oh T," Bette breathed, "I’m so glad the last thing I’ll ever hear is you. I just wish I could see you."

"Stop saying that," Tina breathed kissing Bette’s cheek, "you’re not gonna leave me you hear me Bette Porter!"
