The three of them just sat there staring at each other. Bette didn’t know what to say. The last thing they want is for Tyler to say that she wants to spend time with her biological mother.

    "Maybe we should just rest then we can talk about it later," Tina said trying to regain her composure.

    "I think your mom is right. You have to rest, Ty. Eat dinner first then go take a shower," Bette instructed the teenager. She started getting up and stretching her arms to let Tina hold her hand. She pulled Tina so that the other woman could get up. Bette then turned to Tyler and helped her get up. Tyler stared at her mothers with tears almost falling down her cheek.

    "I love you both. Please don’t let that woman take me," Tyler said moving closer to her mothers so she could hug them.

    "We won’t, baby," Bette said. That was the only words she found that she could say at the moment. Tina prepared Tyler’s food while Bette went to check on Angie. Tyler just sat their and stared at the house. It is so quiet. She felt her mother’s gazed and realized that the food is already in front of her.

    "Thanks, Momma T," was all Tyler could say. She concentrated on her food. Tina noticed that her daughter was very hungry. She just smiled at the thought of how Tyler would argue with her moms when she was little. She didn’t want much on her food and she doesn’t like to eat vegetables a lot. Tyler looked up and saw her mom smiling at her. "What are you thinking, mom?"

    "Nothing. I’m just remembering some memories when you were little," Tina replied sitting down opposite her daughter.

    "And what would that be?"

    "Well, for one, you’re eating all the vegetables now. When you were like 6 or 7, your Momma B and you would really fight over that. She wants you to eat vegetables so you’d be really healthy,"

    "Yeah. I remember that. But who could eat those kinds of food? I thought it’d kill me," they both let out a chuckle. Tyler finished her food and told her mother that she would stay in her room, reading and studying. Tina got up and cleaned the table as she asked Tyler not to do it. Bette came in just when Tina finished doing the cleaning.
