“Bette it’s gonna happen”

Bette was quickly brought back to reality by the sound of Sam’s voice.

“Huh, what are you talking about?”

“Bette I see the way you are looking at that family, I know you hopeful that will happen for you someday and I can tell you that it will.”

“Now Sam, no one can tell me that” Bette chuckled

“Look Bette, I have been working for you for nearly a year I enjoy spending time with Allie and yourself.  You look after Alex so well and you love her so much.  That’s why I know you are going to be a fantastic mom, which is why I believe it WILL happen one day.  You asked me to come work for you and ask no questions and I have kept my nose out of it until now.  But girl you never seem to have any time for yourself you’re either at work or minding Allie.  So tell me why is this woman so important to you?  What happened Bette?  How did Alex get here?”

Just as Bette was about to answer all of a sudden Alex started shouting:

“Aunty Alice is here.  Hi Aunty Alice, what you doing here?”

“Hey there Allie, fancy meeting you here!  I am just here with my friend Dana.  Alex this is Dana – Dana this is Alex”

“Hi, Hi Dana”

“Hi Alex, how are you”

“Allie where is Bette?”

“She is over there, Aunty Al, talking with Sammy”

After hearing Alex shouting both Bette and Sam looked up and saw Alice with a lady.  They made there way over to the others.

“Hi Bette, hi Sam I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend Dana”

“Hi Bette, I have heard so much about you, Alice speaks very highly of you”

“Likewise Dana, it’s good to finally meet you.  So what are yee girls doing here?”

“We’re spending quality time together, aren’t we babe?”

“Yes Al, we are.  But we were just on the way to meet a work colleague of mine named Tina, yee guys wanna come?”

“Nah Al, thanks I’d better take Alex home after cause she’ll probably run me and Sam ragged but thanks anyway”

“No problem Porter, right we’ll see ya’ll again maybe we can do dinner some night Bette and you can get to know Dana a bit better”

“Sure thing Al, have a nice evening the pair of yee and talk to yee real soon”

Alice and Dana went off to meet Tina for the rest of the evening, Bette, Sam and Alex stayed another while longer at the aquarium until Alex became tired and cranky.
