“Okay.” He replies. But still he holds on to Tina as they walk up to the table.

“Hey there little man, how are you?” Shane asks.

“Good.” He replies and jumps up on a chair beside Tina.

“Awnty, I got a pink room.” Angelica says with a beaming smile to Alice.

“You did? Just what you wanted right? A princess room then?” Alice asks.

“Yesssss.” Angelica replies.

“What about you Evan?” Alice asks.

“Mine is blue. A car room. I don’t like princesses and stuff.” He says a little matter of fact.

Tina smiles at him and then over at Angelica and the girls.

“No, you’re a boy, a princess is too girly.” Shane says.

He nods.

“Ms. Tina, I need to go to the bathroom.” Evan says.

“Okay, let’s go. You watch her?” She asks Alice and Shane.

“Sure.” They both says.

“Mommy, where are you going?” Angelica asks as she tries to get off of Alice’s lap.

“Sweetie, stay here with Aunt Alice and Aunt Shane. Evan has to go to the bathroom. We’ll be right back.” Tina says and they walks into the bathroom area. She brings him into the ladies room. As he sits on the toilet seat he asks Tina.

“Are you and Ms. Bette my parents now?” He asks.

“Yes, we will be soon. You’ll be living with us and Angelica from now on. Your home is with us. Are you okay with that?” Tina asks.

“Yes. What will I call you?” He asks, looking up at her.

Tina kneels down, so she’s on his level.

“Sweetie, you can call us whatever you like. We know that you’ve had a mother, and we are not taking her place. We just want to take care of you.” Tina says.

“I didn’t call mom mommy, so I can call you that. And Ms. Bette can be mama?” He asks, looking sadly at her.

Tina smiles and softly strokes his chin.

“Sure, sweetie.” Tina says.

“I’m done.” He says and Tina helps wiping and getting dressed again. They walk back out towards the table.

“Have you thought about what you want for dinner?” Tina asks.

“Hamburger?” He asks as he looks up at her. She smiles back.

“Sure. Let’s see what Angie wants.” Tina says as they sit down by the table. “Angie? What do you want to eat?” Tina asks as she looks over at her daughter, still in Alice’s arms.
