Bette walked into her home and kicked off her shoes. She smiled softly as she threw her purse on the couch. Tina walked back in from the pool area and saw Bette. Bette looked up and saw Tina.

I didnt know you would be back so soon. Bette smiled harder when she saw her little girl running towards her.

I had to come back to see my baby girl. She picked up her and wrapped her arms around her. Did you miss your mama B? Destiny nodded her head, and Bette gave a kiss on the cheek. Was everything okay?

Tina nodded. Yeah, everything was fine. I can take care of our daughter.

I wasnt questioning that. I was just asking if you guys were okay.

Oh yeah, we were fine. How was your weekend?

Bette held Destiny tight. It was really nice. I just have a question.

And that is?

Why are you here?

Bette, I”I dont know. I just wanted to bring Destiny back home. Tina raked her fingers through her hair. I didnt think it was a problem.

Well I think it is, since you moved out. I dont think its right that you should be here.

Alright, I understand okay. Ill be leaving. You have Destinys things, and shes all yours. Tina grabbed her purse off the counter and walked towards the door. Ill come and get her in a couple of days. She opened the door and walked out. Bette sighed and went over to close the door. She took a seat on the couch with Destiny in her lap. Bette dropped her head. Destiny touched Bettes face, and she looked up.

Mommy Bette smiled softly and grabbed her little girls hand. I wuv you.

A tear trickle down Bettes cheek. I love you too.

            Shane couldnt believe that she found her mother on the street. She stood back and smiled faintly. Her mother looked at her daughter up and down.

I never thought I would see you again. I didnt think you would make it this far.

Shane shoved her hands in her pocket. You thought wrong, Im still around. H-how are you?
