This day was the greatest day for Tina in a very long while. Her daughter, the one whom Tina carried in her own body for nine months then nurtured till she grew up into
a beautiful young girl had just done the one thing that Tina had been wanting for months. Her time, her love, her words…all genuine, all real from the heart. Maybe Tina was blowing
things up, but it all felt monumental. It felt even more important considering suspiscions Tina had been harboring for a few weeks now. Her head hurt, a strange pressure had been
increasing since two weeks ago. However seeing both her loved ones so at ease made Tina not tell anyone at all, there was absolutely no way she would go to a doctor either. Tina ahd enough of them…enough.
 Angelica made Tina’s day however, it was the only thing on Tina’s mind as she got herself ready for bed. Her baby girl, her world….well except Bette. At the the thought of her
Tina practically turned into jelly. Her beloved was ***** amazing, and Tina was making it up to her…Bette taking care of everything and all. And she wasn’t trying to act like an
indestructible Goddess anymore, there were a few times, mind you only a few, that Bette had let a few tears out. The past year had not been easy.

 Angelica had come in Tina’s room carrying a large sheet, tilted slighty upwards so Tina could not see the surface. Tina was at her desk going through bills and the like, Bette
was in the yard inspecting the anthill that had somehow sprouted into a large mound overnight. “hi Angie”  “hi mom” Pulling up a wooden chair Angelica sat by her mom’s desk and
sat there grinning. Tina took off her reading glasses and couldnt help but grin too, her daughter’s grin was very contagious.  “well what are you up to then?” Angelica again grinned even
more and stood up, holding the large poster-like sheet so Tina could see. It was entirely black….eexcept for splashes of careful colour and soemthing else…and spots of white everywhere, some
in clusters….ahh..it was spaces, or specifically a nebula. It was beautiful. “it took me a month….charcoal and stuff” Angelica blushed deeply, she had always been rather modest when it
came to her achievements. Tina looked at her……”omg Angie, it’s brilliant, it’s wonderful…i cant believe you did it, wow…double wow”  Tina grinned and Angie grinned back until finally
both doubled up in laughter…Angelica handed it to Tina…”it’s for you really” A look of complete astonishment creeped onto Tina’s face….”really?” “yea…”  Tina took it gently and placed it on
the desk admiring it some more. “thanks” She reached over and placed both hands on Angie’s shoulders, standing up she was now only a few inches taller. Angelica looked a little
taken aback…almost stepping away, but didn’t. She had still not spoken to either Bette nor Tina about wha tHelena Peabody told her, she didn’t intend to…still it felt weird to be with Tina.
In fact Angelica made herself give the gift to Tina, as an obligatory gesture, it still felt good to see Tina lok so happy to recieve it though. Angelica an dtina stood there for a few seconds, before
very slowly Tina drew a bit closer…Angie took a half-step back out of instinct but stopped, her mom drew even closer until very slowly she held Angelica into an embrace. Angie was stiff
as wood, but then relaxed a little, then lifted her arms and hugged back. They stood there in a hug. It was the first time in a little over a year that Tina and Angelica had embraced.
