"Of course," Bette said. She then nodded back towards the table they’d been working at. "I was making her do a little homework to make up for the lost afternoon."
"Looks like you were getting some work in as well," Tina noted the stack of papers as they entered the room. "Classes are keeping you busy?"
"Only one class this term," Bette replied. "The administrative duties are what’s keeping me busier right now. But on the bright side, that gives me the flexibility to stay home some days with very little notice." She smiled at Angelica and gave her a wink as she spoke.
Tina couldn’t help but recall a time when Bette would have directed such affectionate glances her way. But those days were in the past now. She quickly dismissed the recollection as it occurred to her.
"We’ll get these things off the table so we can set it for dinner," Bette suggested, moving over to gather the papers she had strewn about. "Then we can talk for a while about what brought us all together today."
Angelica silently gathered her workbook and placed it into her back pack. She knew when she hatched the plan for some time off that this wouldn’t just be a simple afternoon away from school. But what she did not anticipate was the power she had to bring her parents together. The epiphany of her potential role in their future as a family unconsciously stewed in the back of her mind.

Angelica sat beside Tina on the sofa, while Bette took the chair across from them.
"Would you like to talk about what happened at lunch today that made you want to leave?" Bette started.
They both looked at her expectantly.
"Jackson was talking about going to his Dad’s place for a visit," Angelica started. "And he said he has a new mom now. I mean, he has his old mom too, but I guess his Dad got married and moved to a new city. You two aren’t going to marry someone new and move away are you?"
They both breathed a sigh of relief. It was a topic they had discussed at length. They were both committed to staying in the same area until Angelica was at least the age to start college.
"Angie, no one is moving anywhere," Bette started. Tina nodded for her to continue. "But we really don’t have any way of knowing if either one of us will end up marrying someone else."
"But you weren’t really married to each other, right?" Angelica asked. "Because you couldn’t get married."
"That’s true," Tina began. "But we were as committed as any married couple is honey."
"But I’m never going to have to go visit somewhere else to see one of you?" Angelica clarified.
"Sweetheart, we live within the same school district to make things easy for you," Bette explained. "Your mommy has a house close by so it’s easy for you. And that’s how we make a lot of our decisions. To make it as easy as possible for you."
Angelica had never had it explained to her in such succinct terms before.
"I like it to be easy for me," she said meekly.
"We do too," Tina drew her into a hug again. "Is that all that was bothering you?"
"Yeah," Angelica said, hugging Tina back. She reached out to Bette in silent invitation to bring her into the embrace. Bette joined them on the sofa for the group hug before they somewhat awkwardly ended it to start to prepare their first family dinner in years.

Okay, great post…but points off – for it being tooo short! Let it out JKS – WE KNOW what you’re capable of!!! :)
I’m thinking Angelica is going to be using her new-found powers regarding her parents sooner rather than later. ;) Thanks for the post. :)
so glad your back… i read your old stories as they were recommended by another read to me some time ago… and i loved them all so I’m really glad to find you’re back. please continue.
Kid Power! Angie realizes her Moms love her and each other so much but can’t seem to see their mutual love. So happy that you’re back bestowing your talent upon us.
Gone but not forgotten. You obviously have a great following. Thank you for this story. Looking forward to more. I love the relationship they both have with Angie already.
Angie is going to figure it out. Enjoyed
Great update. Angie is beginning to see the potential of the awesome power she has as a child to get them together when she needs them. Hope this does not backfire on her. She needs to learn to use her power sparingly and hopefully Tina will learn that Bette is not in a relationship, actually I’m surprised that Angie has not told her. Again, welcome back. Thanks for posting.
yay for angelica, i hope she will succeed :)
It’s great to be able to read your lovely writing again.
“I like it to be easy for me” sounds dangerous, but potential. B&T sound like they have managed platonic relationship for Angie’s sake. Can’t wait for their explosive discussion. Thanks for the awesome post.
So glad you came back and are posting a new story. I look forward to reading the next…
nice to have you back writing but I have to agree we need longer post…Peeww lease!!
Yeeeees, welcome back. Great update
Super kid power activate! I hope Angelica knows what’s she is doing. When B&T realize what is going on I hope they are easy on her, after all she wants the two most important people in her life together. Looking forward to your next post.
Thanks for the update. It will be an interesting journey that you take Bette and Tina on for a possible reunion with Angie’s assistance. We can only hope… Welcome back! Great stories!
I love all of your stories .Thank you for the update.PPS
Can’t wait for the next chapter
If only Angelica was the sole captain of this ship, we’d have a happy one I think. Thank you for sharing this! I don’t mind the short posts actually, perfect for a quick read.
Great to be able to read your stories in the making!
I like the way Angelica’s mind works. :) More please.

Yay!! So happy to see an update! Thanks Swimmie :-) I hope Angelica knows how to use her power wisely ;-) hehe..
