Bette, Stevie, Xavier and Angelica all came into the house after the long afternoon at the zoo.  Xavier and Angelica, hoped up on cotton candy and bubble gum, ran into the house and straight into their room with their new matching Ferrari beds to discuss the events of the afternoon.  Bette and Stevie stood at the door as they emptied their souvenir bags by holding them upside down and allowing the contents to skater across the bedroom floor.  Bette couldn’t take the mess and walked away.

Bette:  “Oh my gosh.”

Stevie just laughed and shook her head.

Stevie:  “Don’t worry I’ll clean it up.”

The two entered their bedroom.  Bette plopped onto the bed and fell onto her back.  Stevie soon joined her by lying on top of her.  Bette’s hands found themselves tangled in Stevie hair as she closed her eyes.

Stevie:  “Today was fun.  I’ve never been to the zoo before.”

Bette was shocked.

Bette:  “What?!  Why did you tell me before?”

Stevie:  “I dunno no big deal.”

Bette:  “You should have. I would have made sure it was more special.”

Stevie:  “Just being there with you and the kids was special enough.”

Bette smiled and placed a light kiss on Stevie’s lips.  Stevie placed her head back on Bette’s shoulder.  They were enjoying the closeness that is until Angelica came in.

Angelica:  “Mommy, I hungwy.”

Stevie laughed.

Stevie:  “Actually so am I mommy.”

Bette groaned aloud. 

Bette:  “Everyone’s hungry huh?”

Stevie:  “I could make eggs if you like.”

Bette laughed and she jumped up.

Bette:  “No that’s ok sweetie.  Save that for the morning.”

Stevie:  “You sure?  Cuz I will you know I will.”

Bette:  “Yes I am very aware but I think we can handle it.”

She picked up Angelica and threw her up in the air.

Bette:  “You gonna help me cook?”

Angelica squealed as she tried to answer.

Angelica:  “Yes.”

Bette threw her up in the air again.

Bette:  “I can’t hear you!”

Angelica:  “Yessss.”

Bette:  “Good.”

She put her down.

Bette:  “Go get Xavier and tell him he has to help cook too.”
