Bette: Well I’m glad you find this so amusing but I hope you don’t plan to use the word knocked up when you tell your parents about your condition.

Tina thought WTF, condition?

 Before Tina could respond.

Bette: By the way what are you going to tell them about how we got pregnant.

Tina smiling: Porter you just redeemed yourself.

Bette: What? How?

Tina: Never mind about that you’re right we need to have our story together about our pregnancy.

Tina thought for a minute.

Tina: I got it! Your cousin John donated his sperm to the Cryobank for us to have a baby.

Bette: Tina but I don’t have any male cousins. Suppose they want to meet this John fellow.

Tina: They can’t because he died in a car accident shortly after he donated his sperm.

Bette: And suppose they want to meet his parents. Then what brainy act? I don’t know Tina all this lying just seems so wrong and you know what they say, “ the things you do in the dark always comes to the light.” I have a bad feeling about this.

Tina: Okay my intelligent one, you tell me what alternative do we have?

Bette could hear the anger in Tina’s voice.

Bette blew out her breath: Sweet you’re right. I guess I’m over thinking things and just want to make a good impression on your parents and I don’t want any holes in our story.

Tina: I know babe and besides we can say his parents live in England. In fact maybe your hold family lives in England.

Bette: Tina then where in the hell is my accent. You see this is what makes me nervous about this whole thing it just does not make any sense.

Tina: Bette calm down. It’s not like you’re meeting Sherlock Holmes it just my parents.

They pulled up in Tina’s parents driveway. Tina’s parents have a long driveway. She stops the car before pulling all the way up to the house and gives Bette a quick peck on the lips.

Look for all they know you were born in England and stayed there until you were five or six and came to the states shortly after. It will work out you’ll see, Tina said with confidence.

Tina pulled up to her parents’ home and got out of the car and motion for Bette to do the same. Seconds later Tina’s parents opens the front door wearing huge smiles on their faces.

“Lucille!” They said in unison.

Bette: Huh, Lucille?
