"Momma! We’re here!" Angelica squealed after Bette woke her up.

Tina laughed as she watched Bette blink her eyes after the shock of Angelica’s joyous squeal.

"Yes, thank you Angie," Bette smiled, helping her daughter out of the car.

Tina smiled, pulling their beach blanket, towels and toys out of the trunk. Bette walked around with Angelica and she took most of it out of Tina’s hands with a wink. "Let me get that."

Tina smiled and felt her heart beat faster. It had been so long since Bette offered a hand and made her feel giddy like that. The past while had been a bad time for them and the recent weekend had brought their desire back in view. She remembered to breathe and walked back so Bette could close the trunk. Angelica waddled beside them in her sandles.

"Angie, why don’t you help your Momma T carry something?" Bette offered, watching Angelica lift a pail from the armful of towels and other toys. She walked along happily with her pail. "I’m helping."

Bette chuckled, looking over to her two favorite girls.

Once they found a spot on the beach that looked comfortable and put down their things, they started to set the beach blanket down. Quickly Angelica ran under the blanket and Tina looked to Bette with a smile, shaking her head. Bette laughed. "Angelica?"

All they heard were little giggles and neither of them could keep a straight face.

"She gets this from you," Tina laughed, trying to hold up the blanket so Angelica wouldn’t get trapped underneath it.

"This?" Bette laughed back, shaking her head as Angelica ran back out from under the cover.

"Again! Again!" Angelica squealed, clapping her hands and running back under it.

"The things that amuse her," Bette chuckled, her eyes quickly locking with Tina’s. Tina smiled at her and looked away blushing. The old feeling of shyness had somehow found its way back to her after their re-discovery of each other.

Once she looked up again, she saw Bette’s eyes linger at her chest. She pulled the blanket up as Bette’s gaze shot up to her face immediately. Tina shook her head as she lowered the blanket again. She gently and teasingly wriggled her shoulders, accentuating her chest. With a wink, she smiled again. Bette thought she would melt on the spot. Suddenly Angelica ran out again with her arms flailing around.
