Bette woke with a start and immediately noted the time. Two in the morning.
"Tee," she whispered quietly, placing a hand on Tina’s thigh. "I’m taking Angie to her bedroom."
Bette lead the still half asleep girl through a haze of exhaustion to her own bed, where she left Angie to maneuver herself into a comfortable position.
"What time is it?" Tina continued to rouse herself from what had been a deep sleep when Bette came back into the living room.
"Two o’clock," Bette said. "We all fell asleep before the movie ended."
"She can stay, but I’ll go home," Tina said.
"You don’t have to go," Bette said.
"I’m five minutes away from my own pajamas and my own bed," Tina said. "And here, my option is a couch."
"You can sleep with me," Bette said. "It’s a king size bed."
"I’ll come over in the morning," Tina said. "Angie will probably sleep in, and we can all have breakfast together."
"If you’re going to be here when she wakes up, why not stay over?" Bette reasoned.
"Because when Angie asks – and she will ask – I want to be able to tell her the truth," Tina replied. "Also, I’m tired and sharing a bed with you will not lead to sleep."
Tina stood from the couch and stretched her arms overhead. Bette took the opportunity to move in front of her, so that Tina lowered her arms onto Bette’s shoulders after the stretch had ended.
"It was a good day," Bette said. "But as much as I’m trying to convince you otherwise, I know you should go home."
"I’ll be back around nine?" Tina brushed a tendril of hair from in front of Bette’s eyes.
"I’ll have coffee ready," Bette replied. She had interlaced her fingers in the small of Tina’s back. "And breakfast."
"You don’t have to feed me breakfast," Tina said. "But coffee would be great."
"What would you like to do tomorrow?"
"I want to spend unscheduled time with you and Angie," Tina replied. "No work, no visitors, no explanations required."

Thanks for this post. I love the everyday, mundane when it involves this family getting along! Sorry this is coming to an end soon. It has been a most enjoyable ride!
Hmm, Angie’s more observant than her parents are giving her credit for, and she’s happy about it. At least they’ll have her “approval” when they let her in on the not-so-secret secret! Thanks for the post, jks. :)
Thanks, I enjoyed it.
I guess I just love the mundane, when you are writing it. I will miss this story so much.

There’s still a (tbc) at the end so we’re not done yet :-)Kids are so sensitive to changes in their home life, poor Angie all worried that someone is leaving. Little does she know how good things can be when her mommies are at their best. Thanks for writing it’s such a pleasure to read your work.
