Should I keep trying to keep our friendship going or step back to see if she even cares?

I have this friend that I met through an old friend of mine. At first I didn't like her but as we both grew farthur apart from our mutual friend we became closer. We both had a baby only 2 months apart from eachother so we have that in common. It has been bothering me though, lately I am noticing that she only really wants to talk to me or hang out when she and our other friend aren't on talking terms. The other friend slept with her b.f. and is always doing horrible things to her. I on the other hand am a really good friend to her. But they have known eachother since they were little kids, and their families grew up together so they have a lot of history is why she won't cut her out of her life for long. What should I do? Should I just stop trying to talk to her and let her come around if she is interested in keeping the friendship going? She talks bad about our mutual friend to me a lot, but they are "best friends" Our mutual friend got jealous when I would go to her house, and I told her that she was jealous and her response was "well it's her fault that she never has time for her friends" and to me that made it sound like she only hangs out with me because the other girl is busy. I always call or text her, she rarely ever calls or texts me first. I don't have a lot of friends and since we both have a little one I would like to be friends with her but not if she's not that interested.
