Bette was playing with Destiny on the floor. She laughed and smiled at her little girl. There was a knock on the door, and she got up. She opened the door and saw Tina at the doorstep.

Youre a bit early. She crossed her arms.

I know, but I thought I could take her out to the park, and you join me. Bette looked at Tina and sighed.

I dont know Tina, I think Ill stay home. Bette stepped away from the doorway. Come in. Tina walked into the house and closed the door. Ill be back with her bags. Bette walked away and to Destinys bedroom. Tina smiled at her daughter and grabbed her off the floor.

Hey baby girl, were you good for mommy? She nodded. Thats a good girl. She gave her a kiss. Bette came back with Destinys things and sat them on the couch.

I just fed her so shes good, and shes already had two naps. So shes well rested for now.

Thank you Bette.

Tina you dont have to thank me for watching our daughter.

I know, but”.

But nothing, go have fun with our little girl. Tina smiled and grabbed Destinys things.

Shell be back over after the weekend. So Ill call you okay. Bette nodded. Bye. Bette waved.

Bye mommy.

Bye baby. Tina opened the door and walked out. Bette began to grab the toys off the floor and put them away. She ran her fingers through her hair and went into her room.
