Ready. Tina grabbed her purse and cell phone, and they headed out into the bright, sunny day.

Hi, Kit, Bette waved to her older sister, then Tina waved as well.

Hi BetteTina. Kit was surprised yet very happy to see her sister with Tina again. Maybe they were back together. You two look beautiful today. Hows the little ones?

Oh, theyre fine. Kicking a lot, but fine. I think theyre having a party in there, Tina rubbed her belly.

So whats on the menu today? Were famished. Bette looked up at the board.

Laura is back there makin a kick ***** omelet. Guaranteed to satisfy youre empty stomachs. Kit smiled and added a wink.

Perfect, Tina said, what about you, Bette?

Im in, and how about two tall glasses of orange juice – gotta keep our strength up for those kiddies. Bette put her hand to Tinas belly. Once again, she was the light of her life. She felt bad about Jenny. She hoped that she would find someone new.

They sat down at a table, drinking their juice and enjoying the morning air.

The omelets proved to be fantastic, and each ate their own, finishing to the last tiny morsel.

Laura sure knows how to fry an egg, Bette felt her stomach settle.

I wonder whats going through Danas mind right now. Alice is jealous, you know.

Bette drank the last of her juice. Really? Well, she is the jealous type.

How long did you know Alice before you met me? Tina was curious.

Um, I think about two years. It started out as purely a professional relationship. Then we just sort of said to one another, hey, lets go out. Big mistake.

Tina fidgeted with her silverware. Whys that?

Bette tilted her head to the side. Why are you so interested?

I dont know. Just wondering, is all.

Alice wasnt the one for me. We were two extremely different people.

A tall woman with sandy blonde hair was heading towards their table. Bette looked perplexedly at the woman in red heels. Whos that? She tossed her head in her direction.

Tina turned to see who Bette was watching. The woman was walking towards them, her hair billowing in some imaginary wind.

Suddenly, Tinas face lit up. Oh my God – Mom!
