“Because we can easily kill two birds with one stone by you showering with me..”
“Can we now?” I question her with a wink.

She takes my hand in hers and leads me to the bathroom.

…

“Now Mama B and I aren’t going to be out too late ok? But if you are asleep by the time we get back we will go to Auntie Kit and Helena’s Planet in the morning to get some yummy tasting waffles with strawberries and whip cream but only if I hear that you have been good for Cassandra and you don’t stay up past your bedtime, ok baby?” I say to Angie as I look down at her as she looks up at me.

“Yes, Mama T is right, only if you are good for Cassandra we will take you to the Planet tomorrow alright pumpkin?” Bette says agreeing with me.

I then get down on my knees and give our daughter a huge kiss on the cheek followed by Bette.

“Ok Mama T, ok Mama B!”

“We love you.” Bette says before standing back on her feet.

“Love you too Mommies!”

I step through the door and Bette follows behind me closing it behind us.

“I believe our daughter gets her good listening skills from me.” Bette says.

I start laughing. “Really Bette?”

“Yeah, of course she does!”

“Just get in the car and shut up.” I say shaking my head.

We arrive at the Hit in the 30 minutes it took us to get through LA traffic on a busy Friday night.

“Here we go.” I say looking over at Bette.

“You wanted this the most, T.”

“Does that mean you aren’t going to have a good time with everyone?” I say.

“No, I just meant you know we aren’t the club hopping type our friends are.” She says chuckling.

“We don’t do this very often so let’s just try to enjoy what we can.” I say following behind her to the front entrance of a crowded line of people awaiting to get inside.

“Hey Dave.” Bette says smiling to the body guard outside the door.

I follow behind Bette and we make our way through the crowd to find our friends.

“I see them.” Bette mouths to me.
