“Yes, Al.  Me,” Tina responded.  She was going to let Alice squirm a bit on this one.  

“Well, hell, that’s fantastic!” Alice replied enthusiastically.  “  It’s about time Angie had her moms together under one roof.  So, Tina, when do we need to be at your house to help get you packed to move back to the house?  I have some time this afternoon or tomorrow, but then we have the ride.  So maybe we can wait until after the ride.”

“Al.”

“So, are you going to move all your furniture or are you going to put some…”

“Alice!”

“What?  If we get this organized…”

“Alice, hold on.  We need to talk,” Tina said.

“Sure, what do we need to talk about?”

Bette took Tina’s hand and said “No, Alice.  Tina and I need to talk.  We have a lot that we need to sort out before we move back in together, but we know we want to be together, for us, and for Angie.”  She leaned over to Tina and gave her a light kiss.  

“Geez, you guys, do we have to put up with you guys being all over each other again?”  

Shane jumped in.  “Alice, leave it alone.  Guys, I’m really happy for you, and if you need me to watch Angie so you can talk, just let me know.”

“Thanks, Shane,” the said in unison.

“And if you guys aren’t busy later this afternoon, why don’t you stop by later and we can hang by the pool?  It’s supposed to be just as hot, Tina and I have a few errands to run, but plan to just hang by the pool afterward.”

Conversation flowed easily among the girls as they finished breakfast.  Bette stood and reached for Tina’s hand.  “T, why don’t we go get Angie so we can run our errands and head home by the pool?  We’ll see you guys later?”

“I’ll call Tasha and see what she is up to.  But, I’ll definitely be there later.”

“Okay, see you later.  

Bette and Tina walked hand in hand down the hall to Kit’s office to get Angelica.

Bette stood at the sink finishing the last of the dishes from the evening.  Tina walked in and wrapped her arms around  Bette’s waist and placed small kisses on her shoulder.
