With Angie secured in her car seat, the parents drove away in silence lost in their thoughts.  It wasn’t until the third light that Tina spoke out.

“We need to tell Kit” she looked at Bette who exhaled heavily

“We don’t know if he did anything” she knew she sounded like she was defending Angus, but she felt that one kiss didn’t mean that he was screwing around on her sister.

“Bette, he’s” she looked back at Angie “screwing around on her.  They had sex before we arrived” she said frustrated with Bette’s reluctance to see the truth.

“Okay, say he is” Bette turned a corner

“He is” Tina reaffirmed “you can’t say you didn’t see the body language” she challenged Bette

“Alright, but we’re not telling Kit” she added “we’ll just have to stay out of it” she looked at Tina

“Bette she’s your sister” Tina shook her head at Bette’s suggestion

“And this will kill her” she told Tina

“It will be even worse if she finds out that we knew and didn’t say anything” Tina argued

“We’re here” Bette said pulling into the parking garage of the doctor’s office “We’ll discuss it later.”

After Angie’s appointment they drove home in silence.  Although the silence made things awkward for them, they carried on and played with Angie as they normally do.  Angie fell asleep as soon as Bette laid her in the crib, thankfully.  She went into the bedroom and found Tina already changed into her sleep wear.  Bette closed the door behind her as Tina looked up.

“I don’t see how you can be okay with it” she asked Bette

“I’m not okay with it” Bette said irritated with her suggestion “He’s fucking around on my sister” she reminded Tina

“Then why can’t we tell her?” Tina folded her arms as she watched Bette change

“Because they’re in love” Bette let out a breath then added “I know Angus loves Kit” she threw her clothes in the hamper.

“Then why is he doing this?” Tina shook her head in confusion

“I don’t know” Bette went to the bed and sat next to her “But I’m going to confront him about it, he can’t lie to me” she took Tina’s hand “If he truly loves Kit then he’ll stop what he’s doing, and everything will go back to normal” she took Tina’s hand “Kit won’t know and have to suffer a broken heart” but Tina removed her hand and stood away from the bed.
