Shane: Did you see his face?

Alex: No he was wearing a black ski mask. But besides that, all I remember is Madre screaming behind me, then I woke up.

Shane: Weird.

Alex: Yeah I was just checkin in with Madre. What are you doin’ up?

Shane: Midnight chip run. First it was pudding, then she changed her mind.

Alex laughed and hit Shane’s arm.

Alex: Good luck with that.

Shane: Thanks I’m gonna need it. Alex you know I’m a couple steps away if you need me right?

Alex: Yeah, thanks mom goodnight.

Shane: See ya in the morning.

Alex disappeared into her room and Shane continued to hers. She walked in with the chips in hand and crawled into bed next to her love, kissing the back of her neck.

Shane: Here you go, fresh off the shelf.

Carmen smiled and kissed her wife.

Carmen: You’re the best.

Carmen took the chips and opened them. Shane smiled.

Carmen: So what did Alex get suspended for?

Shane: Mostly fighting, some back talk to teachers, the one was for calling someone straight when they called her a fag.

Carmen laughed.

Shane: Pretty much anyone who isn’t on or friends with anyone on the basketball team wants to kick her ass, mainly because she’s gay.

Carmen: Maybe we should pull her out.

Shane: I’ve thought about it but I figure that she’s old enough now to make most of her own decisions. I trust that if she can’t take it anymore, she’ll come talk to me. She’s really matured.

Carmen: That she has. You’re a really good parent you know.

Shane: Thanks but I really don’t do anything. I’m just there if she needs me.

Carmen: And for her age, that’s what she needs. Is she still all video games and sports?

Shane: Surprisingly no. Her English mark is higher than her gym actually and she doesn’t know it but I’ve heard her reciting monologues and stuff. That’s the next part of her gift.

Carmen: What is?

Shane: I got in touch with Mark and he got a really good deal on a camera. I figure I’ll let her have some fun with that.

Carmen: Wow, I wish you were my mother.

Shane: Very funny.

Carmen smiled and gave her a kiss.

Shane: It really is great having you back though.

Carmen: It’s good to be back.
