Bette woke up startled and got drowsily out of bed. Angelica had cried almost the whole evening. She really missed her mommy like Bette did, too.

She went half asleep to Angelica’s  room.

Bette stood in front of the little baby bed like she had, what seemed a hundred times this evening, and wanted to hold Angelica to calm her down, but she was peacefully asleep.

“What?”, Bette thought astonished.

“Why did I woke up then?”, she wondered and just thought that it maybe was only the rain that woke her up but then she heard the voice of her wife.

“Oh hey, mommy came home”, Bette whispered smiling and kissed Angelica softly, not to weak her up, on the forehead.

As she stepped silent out of Angelicas room she heard Alice’s voice, too.

Tina came out of the living room towards her.

“Tina you re totally soaked”, Bette greeted Tina smiling wondering why Tina didnt protect herself from getting wet.

“Hey baby”, Tina said and gave Bette a kiss.

“Is everything okay with you?”, Bette asked worried as she saw the look at Tina’s face.

Tina sighed.

“Shanethere was a guy. I think it was a old friend from Shane. They went outside to talk about something. When we came out he seemed to be really pissed. And suddenly he ran toward Carmen and told her straight into her face that Shane was a  little street ***** and gave everyone a hand job who pays enough for it”, Tina told exactly.

Bette just starred bewildered at Tina.

“Who was this *****? Damn, and I think Carmen didnt know anything about Shanes past, right?”, Bette asked angry, couldn’t believe that somebody was interested in destroying Shanes live.

“No, she didnt know. Like we actually didnt know”, Tina replied depressed.

“And how are Shane and Carmen doing? Are they okay”, Bette wanted to know with concern in her eyes.

Tina just glanced into the living room where Carmen sat onto the sofa. She looked pale, her eyes were red and she was trembling. “And Shane ran away”, Tina continued.

Bette just nodded understandably.

Dana and Alice sat both next to Carmen. Dana were holding Carmen with on arm around Carmen’s shoulder.
