Bette and Alice also got into a light conversation, trying to avoid anything that had anything to do with the kids or Tina. The breakfast turned out be nice and relaxing.

Two Months Later.

Bette and Tina had arranged that Bette could have Angelica every weekend and that they would meet for breakfast as much as possible. Angelica was always very excited to go to Bette. She loved to swim in the pool and draw with her. Angelica was in therapy to help her dealing with what happened with Henry.

Henry had to be in jail for 2 years and had to follow some anger-management course. He also could not be in contact with Angelica anymore. When he wanted to see Benny, Claude or Mickey, there had to be at least one cop present. Bette was happy about that but was scared of what would happen once Henry was released. Would he come after Tina? The kids?

She and Tina had become friends in the past 2 months and three days ago, Bette had accepted Tina’s apology. She told Tina she forgave her but she would never forget what she had done. Tina understood.

Bette found that Tina had changed. She had become more alpha in many ways. It wasn’t bad but it was weird in a way. Bette never knew this Tina but she enjoyed being around her. She knew she still loved her ex-wife, no question, but she wasn’t ready for anything more than friendship now. She wanted Tina back some day but just not now. Now, she just wanted to enjoy her daughter now she finally could.

In about an hour, she had to be at Shane and Cherie’s for a BBQ. Alice, Tasha, their son of 2 years old Andreas, Tina and the kids, Helena, Dylan and Kit would be there.

Bette looked in the mirror. Her blue dress reached to her knees and had a little cleavage. Her hair was down and she had some make up on. She sighed and sat down on the couch reading a book until it was time to go. She got in her car and drove to the house that was only 2 kilometers away from her’s. She pulled up in the driveway. She got out of the car and rang the doorbell. Cherie opened the door and smiled.
