"Bette . ." Tina said softly after another minute of silence, "Um . . Can we talk?"

The brunette shrugged with what she hoped to be an uncaring expression. She was such a mess inside and didn’t want Tina to know how deeply she was effected.

"I just wanted to say that I was sorry. You know, about the kiss" Tina was met with silence and though she couldn’t really blame Bette, it still hurt. She placed the empty plate down on the counter and twisted her fingers nervously. "I think . . I think we just got caught up in a moment-"

Bette shook her head as she pushed off the door, "Don’t worry about it. I understand. I told you, you don’t have to explain. It was a mistake. It’ll never happen again"

Tina stepped in Bette’s way and stopped the brunette from leaving the kitchen, looking up at her with annoyance, "Don’t be like that"

Now Bette was the one to look annoyed, "Like how?"

Tina held out her hands in exasperation, "Like this! Dismissive! Stop trying to shut me out. I’m trying to talk to you"

"Oh now you wanna talk? That’s nice coming from you"

Tina couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her as she placed a hand over her chest, "Me? You’re the one who ran out of my apartment before I could even say anything"

"Well maybe I wouldn’t have done that if you hadn’t looked so disgusted by our kiss"

Tina crossed her arms defensively, "I wasn’t disgusted"

"Then what were you, T? You’ve been avoiding me since it happened so you obviously didn’t like it" Alice’s words had planted a seed of doubt inside Bette and though deep down she felt them to be untrue, they still cut deep.

"That’s not true! I-" Tina’s eyes widened as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, her hands immediately going to her round belly. She looked up at Bette with a panicked expression that instantly changed the brunette’s mood.

"Tina? T, are you okay?"

Tina slightly lost her balance due to the pain that shot through her but Bette was immediately at her side with an arm around her waist and a protective one around her stomach. The brunette helped her to a stool before calling out to Shane and the other girls, soothing Tina as best she could. Kit was the first one in the kitchen and grabbed the phone the moment she saw Tina’s condition, dialing 911 as fast as possible.
