Bette: In my heart I believe we’ll have a positive outcome this time. I had a freak out moment earlier this week, but now I think I’m OK. Tina and I are on the same page on so many levels I feel a lot better this time.

Meredith: When you come down on solid ground send a note to let us know how it went.

Bette: We’ll do that.

Julie: Hey, I think now might be a good time to head out. She’ll be ready for bed by the time we get home.

Meredith: Gosh I love it when a plan comes together.

Tina: The girls did a great job of cleaning up. I’m proud of them both.

Bette: Ladies, thanks for bringing dessert, but no way can you leave it all here. We’ll split it with you.

Julie: That’s not necessary Bette.

Tina: Oh but it is.

They all laugh understanding Tina’s concerns. They say good bye with smiles and hugs and the babies only shed tears for a few moments.

Bette: That was a great time. We’ve really connected with some wonderful people here in New York.

Tina: Yea, the more time I spend with them the more I like them.

Bette: You know those friends in LA didn’t become family overnight, it took time.

Tina: Well, I think Gerald and Cindy are becoming like family. I was really comfortable having them with us in Montauk and their parents were really warm to us.

Bette: Yea, people talk about how cold New Yorkers can be, but our experience has been very different.

Tina: Well, I think we get what we give. We are good people and we are meeting good people. I am especially happy to see Angelica make friends like Zoey and Sam.

Bette: We’re just about cleaned up in here. I’ll finish up while you get Boo ready for bed. We can cuddle up together and read her a story.

Tina: Sounds good.

After everyone is changed for bed they bring Angelica to their bed for story time. She’s attentive as long as she can stay awake. Tina carries her to bed and Bette follows behind to put the book away. They kiss her good night and return to their bed.

Bette: I’ll be happy to do leftovers for dinner tomorrow.

Tina: Well that depends. I’m here all day and might devour it all for lunch.

Bette: You wouldn’t dare.

Tina: Try me.

Bette: We were so used to grilling in LA I’d forgotten how good oven barbeque can taste.

Tina: The oven allows the flavor to really penetrate the meat and the chicken is so moist and tender. It was delicious, if I must say so myself.

Bette: What are your plans for tomorrow?

Tina: I think I’ll venture over to the library. I may grab a paperback for the trip.

Bette: Pick up a couple, one for me, thanks.

Tina: Do you have a busy day tomorrow? Would you like me to pick up the baby from school?

Bette: I will have a busy day, but I’ll be able to get the baby by 6pm.

Tina: Just let me know if things change.

Bette: Thanks, I will.

Tina: Is there anything special you’d like to do tomorrow night?

Bette: Not really. Just coming home to the two of you is pretty special.

Tina: You are such a sweet talker.

Bette: I am sweet, but that’s not all talk.

Tina: I know what you mean. I was just telling Julie that we haven’t really had a date per se since I completed my move here, but that I am just happy to go to bed with you each night and wake up with you in the mornings.

Tina leans in and kisses the palm of Bette’s hand and entwines her fingers with Bette’s.

Bette: Well you’ve got that forever baby.

Bette leans in to softly kiss Tina. They curl up for a good night’s sleep.
