Julie: I hate to dump the baby on Tina.

Tina: Please these two are like peas on a pod. They’ll hardly notice I’m there and won’t have time to miss you two. I’ll text Bette if there is an issue.

Meredith: Baby, that sounds like a good plan let’s do it. The baby will be sleep soon anyway, let her play with her new friend. Then you and I can have a few dances.

Bette: I like you already Meredith.

They follow the plan. Bette makes a brief detour on the way to the exhibit and the ladies each grab a glass of wine from the bar to enjoy during their tour. Bette and Meredith really hit it off. Bette shares some insight as Meredith asks question after question. Julie is happy to see this connection and hopes the families can become fast friends. They take closer to 45 minutes to return to the office and the babies have both fallen asleep.

Tina: Told you they had their own plans. They were great with each other too.

Bette: You two go have a few dances. Tina and I will stay here and catch up a bit.

Julie: No, you two planned to have a date night here.

Bette: Oh we’ll get in a few on the way out don’t worry. Just go have a good time.

Julie and Meredith slip out and Tina slips the wine glass from Bette’s hand and sips.

Tina: They really are so cute together they were singing the little song from this morning.

Bette: Hey we can still hear the Jazz music here, you wanna dance?

Tina: Sure baby.

Bette and Tina sway slowly to the music and enjoy being in each others arms for a few moments. After two songs they return to the couch and cuddle talking softly about their days and weekend plans. Julie and Meredith return after about a half hour.

Bette: That was quick.

Meredith: We chose the Caribbean room and I’m not as young as I used to be and can only dance for so long.

They all laugh at the truth in that statement.

Julie: We’ll see you at story time tomorrow and would love to have lunch with you afterwards.

Bette: If you don’t mind us having brunch that would be great. These two are big fans of New York diner pancakes so either on Saturday or Sunday we go out for pancakes.
