“We can´t stay long babe, we have to have time to stop by the hospital for a little while.” Tina says.
“Yeah, I know. Let´s just get in and say goodbye and then head out again.” Bette suggests.
“Yeah, like that´s going to happen.” Tina says and chuckle as she helps Evan out of the car. And Bette helps Angelica out.
“Mama, up.” Angelica says to Bette and reach up her arms. Bette smiles and lifts her up.
“You are getting to old to carried around little girl.” Bette says.
“No, not, I´m your princess.” Angelica says and grins.
“Yes, you are. Yes, you are.” Bette says and kisses her cheek. Bette reaches for Tina´s hand as she crosses the street.
The moment they walk into the Planet, they see the banner that hangs over the small stage. Goodbye and good luck was written on it. Below their family was seated.
“Look, babe, they´ve made a banner for us.” Tina says and squeezes Bette´s hand softly.
“Yeah. I knew there was a reason we love them.” Bette says and chuckles.
“Yeah, come on, let´s get it over with.” Tina says and starts walking towards them and pulling Bette with her.
“Hey guys.” Tina says and lets gp of Bette´s hand, she still holds Evan.
“Hey there, are you all packed up?” Alice asks, looking a little sad.
“Yeah, we´ve just said our goodbyes to the house.” Bette says as they both takes a seat.
“Arey ou okay? No second thoughts or anything?” Alice asks.
“There are always second thoughts, when it comes to important stuff like this. But I believe we´re doing the right thing. No, I KNOW, we´re doing the right thing. We need peace and quiet and space to just be us, to take care of us, and to only concentrate on us and our children.” Tina says as Bette takes her hand and squeezes it softly.
“It´s only for a year, it´ll go by like the wind. And we´ll come visit you often.” Alice says and wipes a tear from her eyes.
“We would love for you to come visit us. All of you.” Bette says and smiles.
“Can I sit with you mommy?” Evan asks, standing besides Tina, wanting to sit in her lap.
“Sure, sweetie, come on.” Tina replies and pulls him up into her lap. He leans back and just relaxes. Angelica sees her aunt Kit and runs towards her at the counter.
“Kit? Watch her?” Bette calls out and points to Angelica.
“Off course. Hey baby girl.” Kit says and smiles as she lifts her up and gives her niece a big hug.
“Hey Ant Kit. I have ice cream?” She asks.
“No, sweetie not today. You are going on an airplane soon. I´m sure you will get something good there.” Kit says
“I will?” Angelica asks.
“I´m sure of it.” Kit says and smiles. She had to talk to the mothers about that before they left.
Back at the table, no one wants to start the goodbyes, but Tina opens the flow by saying they have to go soon, because they´re going by the hospital, so Evan can say goodbye to his dad.
“How long is soon?” Alice asks.
Bette looks at her watch. “Well, about 15 minutes.” She says and looks at Alice, who gets more and more sad by the second.
“That´s too soon.” She says and wipes the tears away. Tashe pulls her closer to comfort her.
“Al, it´s only a year, then we´ll be back here, and besides you´ll come visit and we´ll come visit. It´s not a goodbye, it´s just see you later.” Bette says.
“Yeah, but it´s a looooooong see you later. It won´t be the same without you here.” Alice says as she keeps wiping the tears.
“And it won´t be the same without you there, but guys, we need this. We want forever, and for that to work we have to do this.” Tina says as she looks around on the others.
“I know, but still. I´ve heard that one before, that it´s only see you later, but then when the year is up, you´ll decide to live there full time.” Alice says. “What about us then? You forget all about us.” Alice says.
“Alice, we´ll never forget you, and besides, it´s only a year. I don´t want to live in London for the rest of my life. Los Angeles is my home.” Bette says and smiles.
“Guys, we should go now.” Tina says and set Evan down as she stands up. Everyone else also stands up.
Hugs and tears are shared all around and 15 minutes later Tina takes Evans hand and they walk towards the door. She´s wiping her tears, close behind Bette is carrying Angelica. They walk straight to the car. After the kids are secure they turn towards the Planet´s front door and sees their family watching them and waving.
“Can we just go babe? I can´t take this.” Tina says and continues to wipe her tears.
“Yeah, it´s hard. Get in.” Bette says and gets in on the drivers side. Tina hurries in on the passengers side. As Bette pulls out, they wave goodbye to their family.
“Mommy, why you crying?” Angelica asks.
“Because it´s sad that we´re going away. We won´t get to see Aunt Alice and Aunt Shane and Aunt Kit for a long time.” Tina says as Bette takes her hand in hers and softly squeezes it.
10 minutes later they parked the car outside the hospital
“Dad?” Evan says.
“Yes sweetie, dad´s inside.” Tina says. She helps him out of the car and brings out the gift for Martin. Evan wanted to carry it himself. Which he off course could.
A few minutes later they are waiting for the ellevator to up to Martins´s floor.
“Mama, Matin my dad too?” Angelica asks, looking up at Bette.
“No, sweetie. He´s Evan´s dad. You have two moms, not a dad.” Bette says and looks back down on her daughter. They enter the ellevator and Bette pushes the button to the right floor.
“Why?” She asks.
Bette looks over at Tina with a ´help me´look.
“Sweetie, come here.” Tina says and kneels down and Angelica walks into her arms. “There are several kinds of families. The most usual one is a mom, dad and kids, some are only one dad or one mom, and then there is families like our, where it is two moms and no dads. How this works we will tell you when you get older, but the basic is that there is different kinds of families. Do you understand?” Tina asks.
“Yessss, I have two moms, no dad.” Angelica says proudly.
“Yes, you do, and we love you to pieces.” Tina says and kisses her cheek.
“I have two moms too?” Evan asks after a few moments.
“Yes you do, and you have a dad. And we love you to pieces too sweetie.” Tina says and rubs his back as they walk out of the ellevator. He smiles and walks proudly with his present in his hands down the hallway infront of his moms.
Tina stops by the nurses station to ask if Martin is in his room.
“Hello, is Martin Matthews in his room?” Tina asks.
“Yes, he is. You can juse go in. He´ll be happy to have company.” The nurs says with a smile.
“Thank you.” Tina says and they walk towards the room. “How long do we have?” Tina asks.
“An hour. I made sure we had some extra time here. Both deserves more time with each other.” Bette says and smiles.
“Thank you.” Tina says and leans in and kisses Bette softly on the lips.
Bette smiles back and then opens the door. Martin is in bed with his eyes closed, but as soon as he hears the door open he opens his eyes.
“Hey.” He says with a big smile on his face.
“Hey Martin, how are you?” Tina asks.
“I´m good. Happy to see people.” He says with a sad look.
“I´m sorry we haven´t been here more often, but I´ve had so much to organize with the move and everything.” Tina says.
“I understand. But I´m glad you´re here now. How long can you stay?” He asks.
“About an hour. Not much more than that, or else we´ll miss our flight.” Tina says.
“Oh, it´s today, that you´re leaving for London?” He asks a little sad.
“Yeah.” Tina replies. “Evan come here, want to give your dad your present?” Tina asks him. He walks slowly to Tina. She lifts him up and he takes a seat on the bedside.
“Hello Evan.” Martin says.
“Hi.” He replies, suddenly very shy. He pulls the present from his back and gives it to his dad.
“Oh, you brought me a present?” He asks smiling and a little touched.
Evan nods slowly.
“Thank you Evan. It´s the best present I´ve ever gotten.” Martin says with tears in his eyes. The present was Evans favorite stuffed bear and a drawing he´s made. Both Bette and Tina also have tears in their eyes.
“Can I get a hug?” Martin asks.
Evan turns towards Tina and Bette to ask if it´s okay.
“Go ahead sweetie.” Tina says with a smile.
He slowly lent forward and Martin pulls him carefully down and into a hug.
“Thank you Evan, it´s the best present. I love it.” He says.
He ends the hug, but still holds Evan close.
“It´s so you wont forget me, when I go live in Londen.” He says.
“I´ll never forget you son, you´ll be forever in here.” He says and holds his hand above his heart. Besides, I´ll keep in touch with you, maybe talk to you over the net and when you´re back here, you can come visit me again?” He suggests.
“I can talk on mommy´s pc. T talked to mama on it. It´s fun.” Evan says and smiles a little.
“We sure can. I would love that.” Martin says.
“We´ll set it up as soon as we get there.” Tina says. “Do you have a computer here? When will you be able to go home?” Tina asks.
“The doctor thought that I would maybe get to go home during the following week. Still some tests that has to be done and also there´s a few minor setbacks, but still, it will be good to go home.” Martin says with a smile.
“Yeah, I can only imagine.” Tina says with a smile.
“Mama, I want to see Matin too.” Angelica says as she tries to climb up. Bette lifts her up. “Hey Matin. You not my dad.” Angelica says and smiles. “Right mommy?” Angelica adds and looks up at Tina.
“Right Angie.” Tina says as she looks appologetly at Martin. “We explained families earlier today. Different kind of families, and that Evan has two moms and a dad while Angie has two moms, and other kids has a dad and a mom and so on. I´m sorry if it came out like she wouldn´t want you to be her dad.” Tina says.
“No, it´s okay. She´s only three years old. And she´s adorable. And she is lucky to have you two as parents. Same goes for Evan. I can´t thank you enough for what you´ve done for me.” Martin says and starts crying.
“Hey, Martin, it´s okay.” Tina says as she leans down and pulls him into a warm embrace. Bette lifts off Angie and Evan.
“Mama? Why is dad crying?” Evan asks concerned.
“He´s a little sad that he can´t be with you, and he is happy that you are with us. That you are happy and safe.” Bette says.
“Oh okay. I will see him again?” He asks.
“Off course you will.” Bette replies.
“Evan? Wanna play?” Angelica asks as she walks over to the corner table where some toys from their previous visits was.
Bette walks up to Tina and put her arm around her shoulder. Martin is wiping his eyes.
“I´m sorry. I don´t usually cry like this.” He says.
“I know, but you´ve been through a lot, it´s normal.” Tina says and smiles.
About thirty minutes later, they have just left the room. Tina is crying and Bette is doing her best to comfort her. Evan is walking by her side, holding her hand, while Angie is running in front.
“Be carefull Angie.” Bette calls out.
An hour later they were at the airport and waiting to board from the privateplane entry.
“Yeah, I know. Let´s just get in and say goodbye and then head out again.” Bette suggests.
“Yeah, like that´s going to happen.” Tina says and chuckle as she helps Evan out of the car. And Bette helps Angelica out.
“Mama, up.” Angelica says to Bette and reach up her arms. Bette smiles and lifts her up.
