Bette.. said Marcus on the other end of line. Bette are you there?
YesYes.Marcus I am here.
So, you see Bette, there is no way that the child that was left on your doorstep is mine.
Did.Didnt you say that your sons name is Jack?
Thats right.
When .I mean.I dont mean to prybut how are you and Mayling doing? I mean.are you still together?
Iwellnowe havent been together for a week or so.I left on such bad terms.
I dont know how to tell you this Marcusbut the child that was left on my doorstep was a little boy named JackI think Mayling may have left him here.
Thats ridiculous. She loves our child.and by the way she acted towards Tina.I couldnt see her wanting to give the child to her.
Im just letting you know that maybe you need to call her or somethingbecause you are the father of that little boy that was left on our doorstep
Alright.I will.will you be near your cell phone.in case I need to call you back? asked Marcus.
I have it right here next to me.I.I am really sorry that you had to hear this from me Marcus.
Okay Bettethanks again

A few minutes later, Tina enters the house..
Hey babe.
UmHey said Bette .. How was your day?
Great.seeing as how you made it home before me.thats an unusual treat said Tina walking up to Bette and giving her a kiss then a hug.. I missed you today
And I missed you.as always. said Bette as she walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and grabbed a bottled water..
Baby, is something wrong? asked Tina as she followed Bette.
Nobabywhy?
Bette.you arent a very good liar..Your eyeright there. said Tina as she pointed to the corner of Bettes eye.. It twitches a little when you lie.
Im sorry.I.I just got off the phone with Marcus
You what? snapped Tina.
I said I just got off the phone with Marcus.
NoI heard what you said.I was just hoping that you had said something else.What .why did you call him?
Tinahe had no idea about the child.that little boy.Jackhe is Marcus and Maylings son.
Oh my godwhat?
He and Mayling havent been together for a week or so.so he has no idea what is going on.
Do you realize what you have just done? asked Tina hatefully..
He isnt going to want to give up Jack.now that he knows .he will fight us for him
Tinait is his child and he has that rightas much as I hate to say it and you hate to hear it..he has a right.
God..UgghhI ***** told you not to call him.. said Tina before she stormed into the bedroom and slammed the door.
way to go thought Bette.. bite the bullet..tell her what she doesnt want to hear.how stupid bette slapped herself on the head a few times.. sometimes Betteyou just have to tell her what she wants to heareven though it may not be right.just to keep peace…
Bette took in a deep breathand started towards the bedroom..
She opened the door.to Tina laying on the bed.crying.she went and sat down next to her.
Tinababy.I am sorry.I want Little Jack too.and if we have to we will fight for himokay?
Tina rolled over and looked up at Bette.. I dont think you understand the connection that I felt with Jack.I felt like.like he was the baby that we lost..and I cant lose him againI wont lose him again.
Tinalook.I understand how you feel.but dont get him confused with the baby that we lost.the baby we lost is in heaven.
Bettedo you believe in re-incarnation? asked Tina.
In theory.. Yes
