Next morning Tina was first to be up. She stood to the window, looking outside. It was still early, so there weren’t too many people on the street. She gazed to her sleeping wife, softly breathing, and mumbling in her sleep. She turned again, when soft, sleepy vice came from behind.

“Is everything ok, T?” Bette asked softly.

“Look at the view from here. It’s spectacular!” Tina faced her wife. “Hey, cutie” she kissed Bette’s nose.

“Can I share with you?” Bette asked playfully, pulling Tina back in bed and topping her.

“Are you ready, to face the little ruffians!” Tina asked, snuggling close to Bette.

“Yeah, I’ll go check on them…” Bette said, grabbing her robe.

“…I’ll start the breakfast…” Tina finished. That was part of their morning ritual. Bette was checking the kids, and Tina was cooking the breakfast.     

“Love you” Bette said passing by Tina

“Love you more” she replayed, smacking her playfully on the ass.

“Ok…Ashley…Dana… it’s time to get up” Bette, hollers in the large hall. Walking inside their room, stumbling over some toys lying on the ground.

“Something never changes” she mumbled. She lifts the covers and dragged out the grumpy and sleepy girls. Then she walked in Angie’s room. She stopped and gazed at her elders’ daughter. It was like yesterday, when she was sneaking in their bedroom.

“Come on Angie, it’s time to get up” Bette said.

“Few more minutes” Angie mumbled, turning on the other side.

“No, no and no, get up…come on!” Bette starts tickling her. 

“Geazzz, ok I’m up, I’m up…” Angie squirmed, under her mother. “Life’s unfair “she said, still trying to avoid Bette’s hands.

“Life’s like a ladder in henhouse…” Bette said with smirk.

“Huh?” Angie looked at her in perplexity

“…short and…well you know…”

“No I don’t”

“…Short and full of shit…” Bette said, and Angie burst in laugh. “Don’t tell your mom, what I just said, ok! Now get dress and come for breakfast.”

Downstairs, Tina was just finish the pancakes and was purring juice and coffee, when the front buzzer went off. She opened the door, and there stood some man and woman, holding a tray with goodies.

“Good morning!” Tina said politely.
