“Me!” yelled Angelica, clapping her hands, reaching out to Sam instantly.

            “That’s her,” smiled Tina.  Looking at her watch, groaning.  “I’m late, Bette, thank you.  A pleasure to meet you, what is your name?”

            “Oh, Sam Vance,” grinned Sam, taking Tina’s hand again, then mussing her own hair as she stepped away, looking down at her sneakers.

            “The photographer?” asked Tina in awe, mentally seeing about twelve different ads that Sam Vance had done in the last two years.

            “Yeah.”

            “I have to go, I’ll be late, hope to see you again,” said Tina again, and Sam turned her attention to Angelica, and Tina waved to Bette, giving her the thumbs up and gesturing towards Sam.

            Bette watched her go, sighing heavily.

            “The ex huh?  She’s cute, in that sort of, dangerous Buffy the Vampire Slayer way,” nodded Sam.  “You’re mom looks like a very bad slayer type named Justine,” cooed Sam to Angelica.

            “Your cup of sugar,” smiled Bette, placing the cup next to Sam.

            “Can I hide here for a while?  Lindsay invited this woman who she thinks I’d be ‘perfect’ with.  Helena Peabody, she’s nice, but…  she has a thing for pregnant women I think,” groaned Sam.

            Bette laughed hard, “Helena is staying with me actually.  Yes, I think she does have a thing for pregnant women.”

            “Oh crap!” groaned Sam.  “Sorry Angie.”

            “I doubt very much that she understood that.  Stay a while, I’m sure that Helena will hang around at Lindsay’s for a while, are there other lesbians there?”

            “A whole gaggle of lesbians, all of them could be ‘perfect’ for me, if I gave them a chance.  So, I think Helena might be there for a while,” assured Sam.  She reached out and caressed Angelica’s cheek.  “I missed this with Jesse, this playing with blocks stage.”

            “Why?” asked Bette.  Putting the cup of sugar on the table next to Sam.

            “I was in med school when CJ got pregnant, and I was an intern until he was four.  When CJ got sick, I quit.  I had four more years of residency, but I never finished.  I took up the family business instead.  Gave me more time to concentrate on CJ and Jesse,” said Sam.  Piling blocks in front of Angelica, the girl kept knocking them down, clapping when they hit the hard wood floor with a clatter.
