(The family just sang a verse from the Clean Up Song)

Bette: You did a good job with clean up Boo. I’m so proud of you! Are your ready for Momma to read you a story?

Angelica: Story Momma.

Bette and Angelica cuddle up on the rocker for story time. Tina slips out and runs a bath for Bette to enjoy after story time.

Bette: Hey she’s out. I’m going to change and take a quick shower. Will you wait up?

Tina: Actually, I ran you a bath. Go and relax.

Bette: Will you join me?

Tina: I really did it just for you baby.

Bette: Well, I really want you to join me so we can talk and cuddle. I brought you Haggen Daz tonight. It’s in the freezer and very, very chocolate.

Tina: Hmm, bribery works for me.

They slip into the tub and catch up on their days. Bette tells Tina about her two appointments. Tina assures her that their family will still be a family no matter what. She understands Bette’s concerns, but assures her they’ve hired a great attorney and done everything asked of them. She expects Bette will be Angelica’s legal mother in just about a week. Bette asks Tina about her day and Tina shares that she finally has a proposal for Helena.

Bette: Do you want to review with me tonight?

Tina: Not tonight. You’ve had a long day and I want to sleep on it.

Bette: Well, my lunch is open tomorrow. How about I buy you lunch and we go over it at my office tomorrow?

Tina: Really?

Bette: Of course. This is a big deal, talking about it when we’re both fresh would be best. Besides, if you’re happy with it after our meeting you can send it to Helena tomorrow and get the ball rolling.

Tina: Thanks baby, let’s do that.

Bette: I’m excited for the end of year school program on Friday.

Tina: I know I can’t believe it. The kids will all be so cute.

Bette: They’ll also be fresh from naps, so not nearly as cranky as they could be. I’ll meet you there at 3pm then I’m off for the weekend.

Tina: Are we still going out with Cindy and Gerald afterwards?

Bette: Oh, I don’t think so. Both his parents and hers are coming so Cindy thinks they’ll do something afterwards.

Tina: Oh that’s so cute for Sam. Sometimes I wish Angelica had that.

Bette: Well Peggy is coming.

Tina: She is?

Bette: Yea, I mentioned to her that Angelica has been working on her surprise for us. She called today to say she’d definitely be able to make it. She wants to have dinner afterwards.

Tina: Oh that’s just great!

Bette: I’m really relaxed now, and starting to prune. Are you ready to get out?

Tina: Yes. I’m also ready for that ice cream.

Bette cleans up the bathroom while Tina dishes up a bowl of ice cream.

Tina: Are you having some ice cream?

Bette: No, it’s all for you baby.

Tina: Thanks. I’m glad it’s only a pint.

Bette: I love you T. Thanks for dinner, the bath and taking care of the baby tonight.

Tina: You don’t have to thank me for those things. I love doing those things for you.

Bette: I do, you may think those are little things, but they mean so much. Those were the kinds of things I missed at the end in Los Angeles.

Tina: I stopped doing them Bette, you didn’t. The night you told me you were leaving I remember walking into a clean house and thinking what a great job you did had done, but I never told you that. I also appreciated coming home to your home cooked meals, but I never told you that either. I’m so sorry I couldn’t show you that little bit of kindness.

Bette: Well I really needed that kindness then, but we have each other again and we’re both better people now. How’s that ice cream?

Tina: It is so good, thanks baby. Leans down and kisses Bette. Bette pulls Tina in for a deeper kiss.

Bette: That ice cream does taste good, though I like your taste even without the Haggen Daz.

Tina puts the bowl aside and resumes kissing Bette. They stop short of making love as they are both tired, but both would say they shared an intimate night.
