“Hi Angie, what’s up?” Bette asked, smiling and opening her arms like before. In no time Angie ran and snuggled to Bette. “Like mother, like daughter” Bette smirked. Tina shook her head and said, “Must be something in the genes,”

“Well, I have to have at least one thing for my advantage.” Bette said, smiling.

“Oh, trust me, you have a LOT for your advantage.” Tina said, still hot and flushed their previous activity still fresh in her mind.

“T, why don’t you go to work? I’ll take care of the munchkin here, I’m already going to be late, what’s a few more minutes.” Bette said, smiling.

“Are you sure it’s ok?” Tina asked a grateful look on her face.

“Let’s ask the princess. Angie, you want Mamma B to get you to preschool?” Bette asked.

“Yeahhhhhh!”

“No? Why not? T I don’t think she loves me anymore” Bette said dramatically.

“Yes, I said yes!” Angie quickly said jumping on the bed.

“Oh you did?” Bette looked at her skeptically.

Angie nodded her head and held two fingers in the air “cout honor”

Bette’s eyebrows rose in wonder. “You’re too young to be a scout honey, were did you learn that from?”

“Alice”

“Of course Alice, who else?”

“I do love you!” Angie said all of a sudden her mom’s words only now registering.

“You do?” Bette asked her heart melting. Angelica only nodded. Bette looked at her and a smile appeared on her face she jump Angelica, tickling her. “No Mamma T tell her no!” Angie laughed. Tina just smiled at the sight. “Ok I’m going. Have fun, but Bette, please don’t let her be late!”

“Say bye to Mommy,” Bette said not stopping her tickling.

“Bye Mommy,” Angelica said between her giggles.

Tina sat in her office going over some pages when her phone ringed. She couldn’t help the smile that spread on her face as she saw it was Bette. “Hi babe, what’s up?”

“Well, me and Angie just finished the tickle fight we were in, I won, so it’s too late to bring her now right?”
