Bette: Morning.

Tina: Morning, what time is it?

Bette: It’s a little after eight, did you sleep well?

Tina: Yes, did you?

Bette: Yes, I did.

Their conversation was interrupted by Angelica’s crying. Tina sat up and started to get out of bed.

Bette: Oh no, lye down, I’ll get her.

Tina: Okay.

Bette walked into Angelica’s room and picked her up.

Bette: Good morning Angel, come on let’s go see Mama T.

Bette walked back into Tina’s room with Angelica in her arms. She sat on the Bed and placed their daughter between the two of them.

Tina: Good morning sweetie, you slept in pretty late today.

Bette: Yeah she’s not the only one, I was supposed to be in at work today at 7:30.

Tina: Oh Bette, I’m sorry; I forgot you had work today.

Bette: Its okay, I called in and said I was taking a personal day, I don’t think I would have been able to go in knowing you and Angie were home alone after what happened last night.

Tina smiled.

Tina: That’s very nice of you, how is your hand?

Bette looked down at her slightly bruised hand.

Bette: It’s still a little sore, but it’s fine.

Tina: Hey, do you want to join us for our morning jog?

Bette: T, you know I can’t keep up with you when you run.

They both laughed.

Tina: Okay, well why don’t you and Angelica hang out on the beach while I run?

Bette: Okay, what do you think Angie?

Angelica smiled at her mommies.

Tina: Well, then we better get ready, I’ll get you some clothes to wear.

The three of them got dressed and walked down to the beach. Tina left Bette and Angelica playing in the sand while she went off on her morning jog. She took this time to reflect on everything that had happened.

It was so great waking up see Bette right there, I can’t believe she stayed with me and called out of work…she rarely does that…who knows, maybe there’s still a chance…
