“We will see. I will call you. I need to work on some paper work. Maybe I will just come home early.” Bette said.

“Okay sweetie…I guess I will call you tomorrow morning. Have a good night. I will miss you tonight.” Jodi said as she leaned over to kiss Bette.

Bette quickly turned her head so Jodi ended up kissing her cheek. Bette felt a small twinge of guilt as she watched Jodi leave. She went to her room and packed a small goody bag for Angelica. She also grabbed a little envelope with a letter she had written to Tina earlier that afternoon. Bette went into the bathroom brushed her teeth and touched up her make-up.

Bette walked out of the house, locked the door and headed over to her daughters house. She got into her car and backed out of the driveway. The song on the radio was one that hit Bette to the core. Chicago’s Hard to say I am sorry. Could there be a more perfect song at this time in Bette’s life? She could dedicate this song to either of the women in her life.

The drive to Tina’s house was short. But to Bette it seemed like an eternity. She finally pulled into the drive. She saw Tina working in the kitchen. Bette just sat in the car, gathering her thoughts as she sat looking at the beauty of Tina.

Bette got out of the car and headed towards the front door. Just as she was reaching to ring the door bell, Tina opened the door.

“Hi. Shh I just put Angie down. I told her you would come and say good night, I just don’t want her to get all excited. So if you go in, keep her calm.” Tina said with a smile. Knowing very well that Bette would have Angie out of bed and in her arms in just a few seconds. It did not matter, Tina had a few things left to do in the kitchen.

“Hi baby girl. Are you all set for bed?” Bette cooed at Angie.

“Mama.” said Angie.

“Yes honey, Mama B is here. I love you so very much. I miss you every day. You know that don’t you? I love you more than anything. You are the one perfect thing in my life.” Bette said as she whispered into her daughters hair.
