Bette: Well you know how it is when it comes to me and cooking.

They both laughed.

Tina: Well, I’m going to go out and getting something to make for dinner; and grab some more food for Angelica.

Bette: Are you sure you’re up to it? I can go.

Tina: I think it would be good to get out for a little bit. Why don’t you stay; Angelica should be waking up soon.

Bette: Okay, let me get my spare keys.

Tina: I miss my poor car, but after that crash I think I might be getting a new one.

Bette was searching through her purse.

Bette: Found them, you can hold onto these until you get your car, and there’s also a spare house key too.

Tina: Thanks. I shouldn’t be too long; do you want anything in particular?

Bette: No, I’m fine thanks.

Tina grabbed her jacket and left for the store. Bette went into the living room. Just as she sat down the house phone rang, she got up to answer it.

Bette: Hello?

Kit: Hey it’s me.

Bette: Hey Kit, how are you?

Kit: I’m good, so how has everything been with Tina.

Bette: She’s good; great actually. She just ran out to the store to pick up something for dinner.

Kit: Wow she’s out and about after all of that?

Bette: Well, I think she wanted to get out, even if it is just to the grocery store. Look I have to go; I want to start unpacking some of Angelica’s things before Tina gets home. 

Kit: Is she staying the night?

Bette: Well…sort of.

Kit: Sort of?

Bette: Well she will be staying here, permanently.

Kit: What?! And Tina’s okay with that?

Bette: Yes, because she will be here as well.

Kit: You mean Angelica and her have moved back into your house?

Bette: Yeah, I asked Tina; she said yes.

Kit: Don’t you think you’re being a little too generous to this woman?

Bette: Kit, I am not going to let her AND my daughter stay in that apartment ALONE! They haven’t found Henry yet. I think she and Angelica will be safer here anyway.

Kit: Whatever Bette, I hope you know what you’re doing.

Bette sighed.

Bette: I’ll talk to you later okay?

Kit: Bye.

Bette hung up the phone; and quietly went into Angelica’s room. She saw that she was already awake. She smiled; no matter what, Angelica always put a smile on Bette’s face.

Bette: Hey there did you have a nice nap?

She picked Angelica up form her crib. Angelica played with her mother’s curls.

Bette: Let’s go set up you’re playpen okay?

Bette and Angelica went into the living room. Bette couldn’t help but think about what Kit said.

She’s over-reacting, why wouldn’t I want them to stay here with me?

Bette and Angelica sat on the floor together and played with her toys; while they waited for Mama T to come home.
