“Here are your baggage tickets to collect your bags.  Have a fun time in the Big Easy!”

“Thanks,” Shane said as she walked off the plane into the airport. 

She and Alice rushed to get their bags and to the car rental place, rented a car, got directions to Bourbon Street, and found The Planet without any problems.  They called Kit and let her know they were there and both of them climbed in the bed and crashed.

The kids got in the back of the van re-enacting their momma defending her children.  Mark pretended to punch Chris who fell down, moved over to Casey, and said with a feminine voice, “You O.K. baby?”  Everybody laughed.

Tina felt a little disturbed about what had happened.  “Come on you guys.  Cut it out.”

“Yes ma’am,” Mark said.  Michael was getting worried about his mommy, momma, Mark, and Angelica.  He knew that his momma and Angelica would be all right, but his main concern was his mommy and Mark.  What did that awful lady do to them to make them act this way?  He wanted to find out, but would have to start his investigation when they got back to mommy’s house.

Tina pulled into a parking space and said, “All right now everybody on their best behavior.”

All the kids, including Bette, said, “Yes ma’am!”

Tina laughed at Bette joining the kids.  Bette knew that what happened was bothering Tina, but she wasn’t going to pry.  ‘If Tina really does want to be back with me, she’ll tell me on her own time,’ Bette thought.  “Alright Angie, are you ready to go get this over with?”

“Ready as I’ll ever be,” Angelica replied as Bette put her arm around her and they walked into the E.R.

“Can I help you?” asked the nurse behind the desk.

“Yes,” Bette answered.  “We need to see a doctor.  She was basically thrown into a wall and had trouble breathing afterwards, and I’ve hurt my right hand stopping the person who threw her.”

“Wow!” the nurse exclaimed.  “Sounds like you’ve had a terrible morning.  We’ll get you both in to triage as soon as possible.  Are you still having trouble breathing?”

“Not as bad now as it was 20 minutes ago,” Angelica answered, “but, I want to make sure nothing else is damaged.”
