Soon there is a cadre of women on the beach some playing with the baby, some playing Frisbee and others just catching some rays. Kit is overwhelmed with the event and the friends from the past who took time to come. Angelica is the lone child at the event and she’s put to bed at about 7pm. Alice eventually gets her wish and the women settle down long enough to play a few games. Kit wants to dance and she and her singer mates get the Soul Train line going. The women howl as they can no longer get down as low as they once could. It is time to open the gifts most of which have an adult theme. Lots of sexy lingerie, oils, creams and of course an obscure sex toy from Alice.

Tasha: Let the record reflect my name is not on that card. That is all Alice.

Bette: I am so grateful my child is asleep in the other room right now.

Alice: Come on Kit is hip, she’ll know what to do with it.

Kit: Alice what in the hell is this?

Alice goes into a long demonstrative explanation of the toy causing lots of laughter and blushes in the room. By 9pm the crowd begins to thin. Kit thanks and hugs all of her guests as they leave. The gang is the last group to leave and they remain back to help with clean up to load everything into the car.

Kit: Thank you for opening up your home for this Helena. It was a complete surprise and a lovely event. I cannot thank you enough.

Helena: It was my pleasure and I had a lot of help. It also gave me a reason to get back in the kitchen. I love to do this kind of food preparation.

Kit: Then we’re putting you in the official family night rotation.

Bette: Well we are all packed and Tina is in the car with the baby. Thank you so much Helena. You did great job making my sister happy, thank you.

The ride home was fun and Kit was happy to see they’d arrived before Jean. She was able to put the gifts away in the baby’s room. She would pack them for the honeymoon. She still wasn’t too sure what to make of Alice’s toy and decided to just hold on to it for now.

Tina went to work at the studio Monday morning while Bette and Angelica hung out at the house with Jean. Jean took them to the airport for their early afternoon flight. Tina would work in LA Monday and Tuesday be home Tuesday night. She got her Roscoe’s fix before leaving town. Bette was thankful that Gerarado was once again there to greet them and take them home. She and Angelica were home in time for bed and had a smooth day on Tuesday. They were both happy to come home and find Tina waiting for them.

Angelica: Mommy!

Bette: Hey T, welcome home!

Tina: It feels really good to be home and back with my babies. Give me kiss.

They spent the evening back to their usually routine: dinner, bath, story time and then some Mommy time. All was back to routine in the Kennard Porter household.
