Next morning Bette was getting ready for her first day back in CAC. She was dress to kill.

“Hey! Hey, guess what? Fox wants to interview me on TV!” Bette said full of excitement.

“My own super star” Tina said, kissing Bette on the lips. “The breakfast is ready.”

“Honey, I’m going to be home late tonight. I got another press conference.”

“Come on. What happened to that cutie, who sat across from me at dinner every night?” Tina said pouting.

“She got this dream job, remember?” Bette hugged Tina, kissing her cheek. Bette was running late, so she just passed the kitchen, kissed the kids and went out. Tina got the kids ready, and drove them to school. The day was long, but eventful. She collected the kids back and got home, heading straight to the living room. She turned the TV on, just in time for Bette’s interview. “Kids! Mammy’s on the TV” she yelled and the girls stormed in the room.

“Wow, she looks great!” Angie said, admiring her mom.

“Is mammy a celebrity?” Ashley asked

“Cool, we’ll be popular” Dana said, and earned a smack on the neck from Angie. “Ouch”

“Mrs. Porter what makes you want to go back in the CAC after nearly a decade?’ one of the journalists asked.

“I was given an opportunity to make a history!” Bette said in return.

“How do you manage a family and career?”

“Well, I’ve got a great family there. As you know me and my life partner and wife from 12 years, Tina Kennard having three beautiful daughters. I love them very much, and I’m proud of them!” Bette said with so much proud in her voice, that Tina got tears in her eyes. “They are my support system”

“Now we’re a support system?” Angie asked raising an eyebrow. “What’s next a PR team?”

“Shush Angie, don’t be cruel, she’s doing her best” Tina said to her daughter. “Ok, young ladies, it’s time for bed”. Then the phone ringed and Ashley answered.

“Hello? Who’s this…Hold on” she pass it to Tina.

“Who’s this?” Tina asked

“Somebody from something something.” Ashley said. Tina took the phone.

“Hello? Yeah, hi, Aaron…”

  It was 22: 15 when Bette made it home. She was groggy but happy. The day was good, and she managed to finish her first deal for exhibition. She walked through the dark house and went in their bedroom. She walked in and saw Angie and Tina discussing the colors of some power suits.

“What’s going on?” Bette asked. She went to Tina and kissed her then kissed Angie’s head.

“Guess what? Aaron called tonight. The script I had sent it’s been picked. They’ll start shooting next month. I did it!” Tina said jumping up and down like a little girl.

“Did I tell you we’re going to have it all?” Bette said, grabbing Tina and spinning her around.”My own rock star”!

“You’ve never said that.’

“I’m telling’ you now, baby! Wahoo!” She kissed Tina, forgetting that Angie was still there.

“Oh, my God! Can you guys just please wait till I leave the room?” Angie asked, covering her eyes.

“Oh, shit Angie, I’m sorry…” Tina said

“Can you hurry?” Bette said, wiggling her eyebrows. Angie burst in laugh and shocked her head. They waited for Angie to walk out, and Tina said” All right, there’s one thing…”

“What thing?” Bette asked, sitting on the bed with Tina on her lap.

“They asked me to go to New York for a few days…”

“Oh.” Bette said

“Oh?’

“That was a good "oh," as in "okay." Bette said in replay, kissing Tina’s nose.

“Yes, it’s not the best timing in the world…”Tina began.

“But you’re going to New York” Bette said firmly. “You deserve this T, you worked so hard, and you have to be there. Beside it’s for few days. I can handle this.”

“You’ll manage?”

“Yeah! I’m the great Bette Porter, do you forget?” Bette said playfully, caressing Tina’s thigh.

“And you’re gonna have to, you know, shop for school supplies… get ‘em dressed and-and bathed so they’re clean… and put ‘em to bed at night, walk Rex…”

“Been there. Done all that.” Bette said confidant

“When?”

“With Angie, you know when we were…not together…” Bette lowers her head. Tina lifts her chin, kissing her on the lips.” I love you, you know this right?!”

“Yes, me too, so you’re going. Angie can help me out around the house!”

“Good luck with that” Tina giggled pushing Bette on her back.” New York. Wow.”

“Yeah Wow.”
