——– Daycare had to be school. Sorry for that.

Paris – 11AM

The door swung open and Vivienne leaned against the doorframe, smiling brightly.

Vivienne: Bonjour, Mon amour.

Bette smiled back.

Bette: Bonjour, ma chérie.

Vivienne walked further into Bette’s office, closing the door wanting give her partner a kiss on the lips.

B: Have you brought Yves to school? Is he all right?

V: Oui, ne vous inquiétez pas. How is everything going here?

B: Normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

V: Bien, I’m going to go to my brother so I won’t be around today but I’ll be home for dinner. Will you be able to pick up Yves from school?

B: Okay, that’s fine.

Vivienne gave Bette a kiss that makes Bette happy she is sitting down, her knees go weak. She pulls back and looks at Bette.

V: Then I’ll go now. (Begins to walk out of the office and when she reaches the door she looks over her shoulder and says) Je t’aime.

Bette looks up and smiles at her wife: Je t’aime aussi.

Vivienne turns around and walks out of the office. Bette smiles a small smile before looking back at her papers.

6 Months Later – Los Angeles – Saturday – 1PM

Tina sat on the couch when her daughter, Edith, walked over and sat next to her. The girl was wearing low waist jeans that seemed to have been in a blender, there were more holes in it than actual fabric. Then she was wearing a loose white t-shirt. Her blonde hair was a few inches above her shoulders and was a mess but it looked good on her.

Tina: Hey, Eddy.

Edith: Hi, Mom… Must tell you something. I don’t really think you will be angry or anything but, it’s important that you know.

Tina closed the book she was reading and looked at her daughter.

T: Okay then, tell me.

E: I’m… pretty sure, I’m gay.

Tina nodded.

T: I already knew.

Edith sighed.

E: Since when?

T: I think since you were five.

Edith smiled.

E: Good, that’s a better reaction than Dad’s.

Tina was scared for how her ex-husband would have reacted. She knew him, he was homophobic. He had always been nice and polite towards her friends but never became close to them.
