And with their lips connected, they let their bodies fall sideways on the bed. Their legs are entwined and their arms are rapped around their bodies. Their heartbeats calm down again and their breathing slows down and they both drift away in a light sweet sleep.

She makes her way to Angelica’s bedroom and from the door opening she can see Tina sitting in the rocking chair as she holds a sleeping Angelica.

“Hey baby, is she alright?” Bette whispers to Tina as she walks towards her in the dark. Tina nods silently and Bette realizes that she is crying. Bette kneels besides her and her hand strokes her hair “Tina, are you okay?”she asks with a voice full of concern. “Yes, I am okay, I am just going to miss her so much. I woke up and needed to see and hold her.” Tina says softly as she kisses the curly head of her little angel.

“Why don’t you take her to our bed and put her in bed with us, that way we can be close to her and to eachother.” Bette suggests. “Yes, lets do that, darling. I love you both so much, you know.” “Me too T. I love you both a lot too.” They get up and share a small kiss before they make there way back to bed.

They put Angelica at Tina’s side, Tina moves herself next to her and Bette moves herself behind Tina. Tina holds little Angel and Bette holds Tina, they all lie cozy close together.

The next time they wake up, the morning light is shining in the bedroom, Bette wakes up with her arm around Tina’s waist and she feels Tina breathing. This feeling is so good, she doesn’t want to open her eyes, she wants to shut out the outside world. Tina is also awake, her arm is around little Angel, to protect her, to make sure she is safe in bed and doesn’t role over and fall out. Of course, she also holds her tight to feel her near her, the feeling she will mis for a week.This knowledge makes her sad and upset, but she also know that Bette will look after her very well. But little Angel is her baby, she gave birth to her and ever since, they have never been separated. This week is going to be so hard. The tears are rolling down her cheeks again while she looks down at the little girl, knowing she cannot do anything about it. Well yes she can, but that means she is out of a job and will rely on Bette again, a situation she was in before and for now doesn’t want again.

Bette feels and sees that Tina is awake, she softly starts to stroke her belly with her hand, the same hand that has been around Tina for the whole night. She nuzzles her face in Tina’s neck under her hair, she smells her and feels the soft skin on her cheek, she loves this feeling. She doesn’t want Tina to go, she wants her to stay, she wants them to be a family, the three of them, like it is now. She puts small kisses in Tina’s neck and she notices Tina’s breathing, it is getting less steady, a prove that she is awake.

Tina slowly turns around,still holding Angelica so she lays the girl on her chest and belly as she sleeps on, while her mommies are having an emotional difficult moment as they share they knowledge that Tina will leave soon and they won’t be together for a week.

Both of them don’t know how to get through the week alone, they will both be in a strange situation; Bette, because she will be alone with Angelica for the whole week for the first time and Tina, because she will be completely alone ever since Angelica as born.This is a situation, they are both unfamiliar with and they would have rather avoided. But unfortunately, life has decided differently and so they are both in their own thoughts but both close to each other at the same time.
