Chapter 48

“So mommy, when did you and mama get married?” A very interested wide-eyed girl inquired. Gabrielle was eight years old. Gabrielle was Gina’s biological daughter whereas her brother Seth Angelica’s. Angelica and Gina decided to be impregnated by the same donor at the same time. Although a few days apart, with Gabrielle being the older of the two, the siblings couldn’t be closer. “Did you have a big wedding?”

“Actually sweetie, we didn’t. I asked your mother to marry me her first year of college, and we within a week we got married.”

“Wow.”

“When I asked her it wasn’t supposed to be like that.”

“Ok ok, lets get you to bed.” Angelica interrupted.

“But mom, we are just getting to the good part.”

Angelica gave Gina the ‘what have you done’ look. Tina and Bette had visited the Kenter-Raff household. After Angelica and Gina were married, Angelica decided to change her name to Kenter as the hyphenated Kennard-Porter would be too long to add Raff at the end of it as well. Their family is now Kenter-Raff. As they all waited for young Seth to awake from his coma, in an attempt to ease the anxiety, they decided to reminisce about times past. Bette went as far back as the day she held Angelica and for the first time in days there were actually a few minutes where Tina and Bette saw some tranquil on the worried parents’ faces.

About three days ago Seth was in an accident. He and Gabrielle were riding on the sidewalk when a car lost control hitting him on the sidewalk and throwing him several feet in the air before landing on the lawn. He suffered serious head and back injuries. The doctors said that he was actually lucky to be alive. When they left the hospital a day ago, under much persuasion, there was no change and the doctors advised that it was useless waiting around for a sign of improvement. Tina and Bette had been spending time at their home since the accident.

“Baby it’s getting late, and we have a long day tomorrow.” Gina tried to convince Gabrielle to go to bed.

“Please? I can’t sleep anyway.”
