David runs over and puts Angelica in the swing. Shelia is delighted to see this relaxed and sensitive side of David. She’s loved him for a long time, but was often wary of his harsh, black and white views. This experience over Angelica’s adoption really caused him to reflect on his values and reconsider who he was and who he wanted to be. He and Shelia had had many late night talks over Bette, Angelica and Tina. She now saw a man she could raise a family with.

Bette: Wow, who would have thought things would be so much better with David that he’d come up to babysit his niece so we could have a date?

Tina: Well, I think that Shelia has had a lot to do with that. She’s a great lady and really good for him.

Bette: Yea, Kit really likes her. Kit said she broke up with him for a while after he came back from the engagement dinner furious and had to tell her the entire story of what had happened in Los Angeles. She came back to him before the adoption hearing here, but apparently she ripped him a new one before she left. My guess is his engagement isn’t too far off either.

Tina: Well good for him; she’s a keeper.

Bette: We really sound like parents don’t we.

The two ladies chuckle as they exit the taxi in front of the theater. Tina had gotten tickets for Hair. They’ll have an early dinner after the show.

Tina: Wow, that was fun. I’m tired just from watching them dance and jump all over the place.

Bette: Have you ever considered a hippie life?

Tina: Not really. I’ve always wanted a family life. I have exactly what I dreamed of having.

Bette: Good answer!

Tina: It’s true baby. You and Angelica are what I dreamed of having.

Bette: Hey let’s call to check in before dinner.

They call the apartment phone. Shelia checks the caller ID and notices its Bette.

Shelia: Hello?

Bette: Hey it’s Bette and Tina, just checking in on things.

Shelia: Oh things are fine here. Angelica is up from her nap and I just changed her. Actually Dave and I napped too. She and David are building something with her Duplo blocks in the bedroom. You want me to bring the phone to her?
