Tina: Let’s see if there are any other things I need to ask about, seems I have you under my spell.

Bette: I’ve been under your spell for a long time baby. Just don’t abuse the privilege.

Tina turns so she’s leaning on Bette’s stomach and able to look Bette in the eye.

Tina: I will never abuse my power and hold over you Bette. We are in this together. I love how we talk and decide things together. Just look at today. You know some of my dreams for our new house, you’ve outlined a great plan for us to get familiar with the areas before we buy. We’ve decided to become a one car family. I love where we are today and wouldn’t risk losing this.

Bette pulls Tina into an embrace while closing her eyes and snuggling deeper into the sofa.

Bette: I know that T. I didn’t mean to unsettle you with my comment. We are in a great place and in a few minutes that place should include some sleep.

Tina chuckles, hugs Bette around the waist and the lovers join their daughter in an early afternoon nap. Angelica sounded the wake up call at about 3pm.

Angelica: Mommy Up!

Bette: Someone is calling your name.

Tina: Yes, I heard that too. No idea who it could be though, can you check for me?

Bette: Sorry, I have a previous engagement.

Angelica: Mommy play wheeew!

Bette: Oh she’s good you’re heading back out on the sled too. She is our no fear child so let’s definitely try snow tubing tomorrow.

Tina gets an animated Angelica changed and ready for another round of sledding. They spend the rest of the daylight hours sledding and putting the finishing touches on the snowman. They head back inside where the family warms up again and starts the preparations for dinner. Bette is grilling tonight: steaks and veggie hot dogs for the baby. They’ve added some fresh asparagus and boiled potatoes to go with the meal. Tina prepares some cooked carrots to serve Angelica. She decides to just whip up the potatoes while the steaks were grilling.

Tina: Baby, why don’t you throw this chicken breast on the grill now since you’ve got it fired up. We can use them for anrecipes later.
