Tina woke up Monday morning in her bed at her apartment thinking of the weekend and how wonderful it was just staying at Bette’s house with Bette and Angie.  They barbequed in the backyard, swam, she did some gardening repairing the damage the years of the yard not being cared of by her, they watched Angelica play with her toys while she and Bette snuggled up on the couch and her favorite part, waking up in Bette’s arms and talking about the Second Parent Adoption.  The only regretful thing is they weren’t able to be together all the time.  She really wished that they as a family could be living together but there were things they had to take care of, most importantly coming up with a way to tell their family that they were back together.

Two days later Tina was sitting in her car after having just gotten out of their appointment with Joyce Wischnia.  As she walked into the appointment she was nervous because they had been through all of this before and didn’t know if it was even possible to go through the proceedings again.  But the news was good, they had to do the same as before, file the paperwork, have a home visit by a social worker, get a court appointment and hopefully have the court rule that Bette Porter is the second parent of Angelica Kennard.  So now that they had met with Joyce and filed the paperwork they were already on their way.

Meanwhile Bette was driving to The Planet on the way to CU.  She hadn’t wanted to leave Tina after their appointment but she had to get back to the college after stopping for a few minutes to talk to Kit.  Not because she couldn’t talk to Tina, but she just needed a different perspective about the recent developments in her life and her sister was the perfect outlet. 

She pulled up to The Planet and quickly found a parking space surprising due to being during the lunch hour.  Thankfully Kit was available to talk and after ordering some food they went back to Kit’s office.

“So Baby Girl, what brings you to see me on this lovely Wednesday?”

“I need to talk to you about something.”
