With that Tina stood up and went to her room. The rest of the girls and Angie sat at the table and started eating and Alice being careful not to let Angie know what was going on told them about how weird it was to see Bette in bed and so pale and with the respirator.

Tina walked in to her room and tears came again when she saw Bette’s things, for her at this point it was normal to feel the tears, she fought them and went to the dresser and again tears when she saw a picture of her, Angie and Bette that was taken just a couple of weeks before. She gave up on trying not to cry, took some clothes out of the drawers and went to the bathroom. She turned on the hot water and went in and let the water rain down her body and again she cried. 15 minutes later she came out of the bathroom, dressed and refreshed and found Angie waiting for her in bed, she sat down besides her daughter:

     Tina- hey baby, what are you doing here? Did you eat?

     Angie- Yeah I eat. I sleepy now.

     Tina- well lay down and go to sleep sweetie.

     Angie- Momma B’s side.

     Tina- (Fighting tears) yes baby you’re in Momma B’s side but she won’t mind you go to sleep.

     Angie- you stay with me? Please!

     Tina- yes baby I’ll stay with you. Angie I love you.

     Angie- love you too Momma T……Momma where is Momma B, I miss her too.

Tina- I know you do baby, but right know you go to sleep and I’ll tell you about Momma B later ok, you got to sleep now.

Tina hugged Angie to her, looked at the dresser picture and started crying for what felt like the millionth time since Bette got shot.

Back at the table everyone was talking and discussing what was happening and nobody saw Angie get down from her high chair and disappear in to her Momma’s room. After almost 45 minutes Jenny notices Angie wasn’t at the table.

     Jenny- Girls, girls shut up, where’s Angie?

Everyone noticed Angie’s absence and started looking for her.

     Alice- Angie, Angie where are you? (Walking to the living room)

     Jenny and Helena- Angelica where are you? Walking to the kitchen and back door)

     Carmen- Angie are you here? (Walking in to Angie’s room)

     Shane- Girls I found her, come here

They all walked behind Shane to Bette and Tina’s room where they found Angie wrapped in her Momma T’s arms and they were both sleeping. It was obvious that Tina had cried herself to sleep once again but this time instead of having Bette’s hand in hers she had her daughter in her arms.
