“Nothing,” responded Bette while she laid down.

I took Angelica to Bette. I watched and was quite amazed at how confertable both seemed to be with one another.  Bette would kiss her little checks.

“Look Bette your daughter is a pointy ear freak as well.”  Alice said trying to make light of the situation.

Bette‘s face grew red with embarrassment. She turns to face me and smiled apologetically. “I do apologize Tina. I swear I didn’t mean it. I actually think the pointy ears are kind of sexy.” Her eyes grew wide with shock and if possible turned bright red once she realized what she had said.  “I… I mean” She stuttered.

I thought she was adorable. “I forgive you.”I simply stated.

She smiled then continued to play with baby Angelica.

Shane took Alice to the side and both whispered a few words before Alice took off.

“So what were you saying about having to play nice?” I asked wondering if she was going to my planet. I was instantly concerned. My father wouldn’t take what happened kindly. He was a very proud man and he would think I was a common whore.

“A condition for your life is that I have to go and tell your father and mother that I dishonor them because I…I”

“It doesn’t matter.” Shane quickly said. She grabbed Angelica and handed her back to me. Angelica quickly began to fuss not at all happy about being apart from her other mother.  

 “I’ll go with you.” I quickly said before really thinking what I was offering.

“You can make it a family vacation. How great would that be?” Added Carmen.

“I doubt Helena would be okay with leaving you guys alone together. Much less travel.” Shane spoke softly. She began to remove Bette’s coat. That’s when I first noticed the blood dripping out of her chest. I ran to place Angelica in her crib that was still in front of the bathroom door.

I grabbed a cloth and ran back to place it on her chest. I put pressure to stop the bleeding.

I didn’t know why but the proximity of her always seemed to arouse me. I wanted to kiss her wounds and private places all better. The wound was just above her left breast. The fact that I was so close yet so far was driving me crazy.
