Shane: Maybe Angus is available, call him. PJ would love to spend the day with him. "Gus fun."

Tina: Yes, she does enjoy her time with Angus. I’ll call him on the way home and see what he’s up to.

Tina settles the bill including dessert for Shane to take home. Shane carries a tired Angelica to the car and they head out. Shane decides to go see Carmen and Tina and Angelica head home. Tina calls Angus from the car.

Angus: Hey Tina, how are you? How is Angelica?

Tina: We are both fine, just got back from New York last night. I think Angelica is a bit worn from the time change and all the excitement. I was hoping to keep her home tomorrow rather than send her to day care. Are you available to keep her? Sorry for the short notice, but seeing how tired she is tonight just helped me make up my mind.

Angus: I have a session at 4pm tomorrow, but I could keep her, say until about 3pm or so.

Tina: Hmm, why don’t you come in the morning, say 8:30? She’ll probably be up by then. I’ll either get one of the girls to relieve you or come home early. Thanks Angus she’ll be excited to see her.

Angus: Thanks, I’m looking forward to seeing her too.

By this time they are home. Tina gives Angelica a quick bath and puts her to bed. She calls Alice to see if she could come over and stay with Angelica until she gets in from work.

Alice: Well look who has arisen from the dead.

Tina: Must you always be so dramatic?

Alice: To know me is to love me. How is that girl you see out east?

Tina: That girl is fabulous and we are doing fabulously. How was your Valentine’s Day?

Alice: Aw it was so sweet. Tasha cooked dinner for me, gave me candies and some new toys.

Tina: I can only imagine your toys. Hey are you free at about 3pm tomorrow? I’m going to leave Angelica home tomorrow Angus can stay with her until 3pm.

Alice: So you are asking me to hang out with my niece for a few hours, without you around.

Tina: Oh god when you put it like that I’m not so sure now.

Alice: Please, I’m the best auntie ever.

Tina: In your own mind. Al, can you stay with her until 6 or so?

Alice: Well there’s the issue of my fee.

Tina; You’re going to charge me for unchaperoned access to my daughter?

Alice: Dinner, your place when you get home tomorrow and I want those beans. You have to spill the beans all about New York.

Tina: You know I’d love to have dinner with you Al, but I need to do some grocery shopping on the way home, you OK with that?

Alice: Yea, it’ll be fine PJ and I will be tearing the place apart while we wait.

Tina: Thanks Al you’re a life saver. Let me go so I can call Bette before it gets too late.

Alice: Give Porter my best.

Tina: Will do, thanks again Al.

Tina quickly calls Bette, its after 11pm on the east coast.

Bette: Hey T.

Tina: Oh, I woke you sorry baby just wanted to say good night.

Bette: It’s OK T. I’m so happy to hear your voice. Are you OK, how did today go?

Tina: Work was fine, we had dinner with Shane at the Planet.

Bette: Oh good, how is she?

Tina: She’s fine. Hey baby I’m not going to keep you up. I called Angus and he’s going to stay with Angelica tomorrow. I think the trip took a lot out of her. A day at home will let her adjust to the time change again. Alice is going to relieve him at 3 and stay for dinner.

Bette: Oh better you than me. She’s going to grill you Tina.

Tina: Well, I’m so smitten baby I can’t wait to gush over you. I love you baby call the house tomorrow to talk to the baby.

Bette: I will. I love you T.
