“My mum is loud,” said Angelica dramatically.

            Everyone laughed; their spirits even higher now because of the nominations. The wedding had gone off without a hitch, and now, the party was growing louder and louder with every passing moment.

            “So, Lara and I have an announcement to make,” said Shane to the table, thinking they’d put this off long enough.

            “If you’re knocked up again, that’s it, I quit, I’m throwing in the towel!” exclaimed an almost drunk Alice.

            “Hardly,” giggled Lara.  “Want me to tell them?” asked Lara.  Shane nodded and Lara took a deep breath, “Shane and I are moving to Pittsburg.  We know that Justin and Brian can’t move out here….”

            “You’re leaving?” asked Alice in a small voice.  “No, Shane, you can’t….”

            “Are you sure about this?” asked Bette, almost too stunned to speak.  Tina took her hand and Bette squeezed lightly.

            “We’re sure,” nodded Shane.  “We can’t stand the idea of splitting the twins up, and Pittsburg is great, VanGuard has offices there.  I don’t have to work, we don’t have to work, we can do anything we want, and we want to raise the twins together.”

            “Wow,” whispered Tina.  “Moving… away…”

            “We were going to wait until tomorrow night, but we couldn’t keep it a secret, hopefully this doesn’t put a damper on the evening,” begged Lara.

            “Absolutely not, you’re starting a new leg of your lives together, and you’ll love the east coast.  You can summer in P-Town, mother has a lovely home there…,” said Helena, touching her mother’s hand.  “You must, for your children, Sam would be proud of you.”

            “Yeah, yeah, Sam would be over the moon happy, Shane,” smiled Alice.  “We’re going to have to visit, often!”

            “The Vance Jet is at anyone’s beck and call,” said Shane, teary eyed.  “You can come visit any time you want, and we’re keeping our house here, and we’ll visit.”

            “Don’t say that, Bette will be off calling Lindsay in an hour setting up gallery viewings,” chuckled Tina.

            “I think….,” said Rosita, her face dead serious, “…we should dance, Al?”

            “I think we should, my wife,” said Alice, getting up and offering her hand to Rosita.  They saw Carmen finally get the DJ to give up his spot and she began to play a rousing dance song. 

            “I see that Carmen hasn’t lost a beat,” grinned Shane. “Come on, let’s see if I can still shake this ass.”

            Lara laughed, dragging her out on the dance floor. 

            Helena and Paige followed suit, leaving Bette and Tina sitting, “Again, we’re the old married couple at the table,” said Tina.  “They are going to start saying we are boring again, start some intervention thing.”

            “Dance?” asked Angelica.

            “Yes, let’s dance,” said Bette, picking Angelica up and cradling her in her right arm.  “Come on, Tee, dance with the two women you love most on earth.”

            Tina smiled, taking Bette’s hand, standing and kissing Angelica, and then saying to Bette, “I’d be honored.”
