Bette: Sam is really a blessing for him. He clearly loves kids; Angelica adores him too.

Cindy: Well hopefully by the end of the year we’ll be celebrating like you two. Oh by the way we took your advice and we found a three bedroom in Gerald’s building, we’ll move in this weekend.

Bette: Well that’s just awesome. Now you can get that home visit scheduled.

Cindy: Exactly. It was a little tough pulling out Elliott’s death certificate again, but Gerald’s been great about things saying if I wasn’t ready we could wait. But look at those two, there’s no reason to wait. He is the only father Sam has ever known and they just adore each other. Elliott would approve of my choice.

Bette: I’m sure he would. He loved and respected you, so he’d trust you with this decision.

Tina: Just keep talking to Gerald, let him know how you feel as you go through this process. He loves you and just wants the best for you both.

Cindy: He’s definitely best for both of us. He has always been a good friend, but he’s an awesome husband and partner. It’s unbelievable that I’ve had two wonderful men in my life.

Bette: And they’ve both had a wonderful woman.

Tina: Look at them, the kids are chasing him now.

Bette: I think the man wants someone in bed early tonight. He must have big plans.

The ladies laugh. Bette heads over to help Gerald with swing duty.

Cindy: So how did you feel when the judge said granted?

Tina: Happy, relieved, thankful. I didn’t do my best to support Bette in our first try at this adoption. I was so thankful that we got a second chance. I said a silent prayer to God when the decision went our way. She’s always been Angelica’s mother, but I can only imagine how she felt with a “not really” status.

Cindy: Well that’s all behind you now.

Tina: Yea, we’re heading to Disney World tomorrow. Bette has a meeting there and we’re tagging along.

Cindy: Well that’s a great way to celebrate.

Tina: It will be. We have a 6:30am flight so tomorrow will be long day.

Cindy: If Angelica is anything like Sam she’ll be wide awake for the flight at that time.

Tina: I’m kind of afraid of that, but Bette will be there too so we’ll be OK.

Cindy: You’ll be fine. Besides, Mickey is on the other end of the trip.

Tina: I can’t wait to see our hotel, the Animal Kingdom Lodge, it looks awesome.

Cindy: Well take lots of pictures I’m sure we’ll plan a trip there in another year or two.

Tina: We took Angelica to Disneyland for her first birthday. She did really well and fell in love with Minnie, it was so cute.

Cindy: Are you doing any character meals?

Tina: First thing on the agenda, lunch at Crystal Place with Pooh and friends.

Cindy: Well she should like that.

Tina: Between you and me I really want to eat in the castle with Cinderella.

Cindy: Well did you try to book that one?

Tina: Actually I did, but it was all sold out.

Cindy: Bummer, but you know what that means?

Tina: No?

Cindy: You’ll just have to go back so you can do that meal.

Gerald: OK Bette’s got sandbox duty. I’m ready for some cake.

They chat while they enjoy their cake.

Angelica: I want cake!

Sam: I want cake!

Gerald: Darn it we’ve been spotted.

They laugh as Sam and Angelica run over from the sand box. Everyone enjoys their cake. The families pack up and head to their respective homes.
