Tina was exhausted from her flight home and she had to go to Rachel’s house to take a sleeping Angelica from her bed only to arrive home and go back to sleep. Moving quietly around the kitchen to have a late night snack before trying to get her mind calm enough to sleep Tina remembered she needed to call Bette.

As she sat down with her plate she picked up her cell phone and dialed Bette’s number.

A sleepy voice answered, “Hello.”

“Hello Bette, I am sorry did I wake you? I should have waited until tomorrow to call but I knew you would be worried.”

“Tina, I just dozed off for a minute actually I have been waiting up for your call. I am glad you made it home safely.”

“Yeah, me too Bette. I had to go by Rachel’s and pick up Angelica but she just went right back to sleep in the cab on the way home. But she is getting so big that it is really hard for me to carry her in the house when she is asleep now. I don’t know what I am going to do in another year or so. I am sure she will be too big then for certain.”

“Yeah I bet she will.” Bette agreed. “Marcus Allenwood’s genes are really making their presence known aren’t they? He was really a big guy T.”

“Yeah, I remember Bette I was shocked by his size when I first met him.”

“T that’s not all you were shocked about, you were even more upset because he was African American.”

“I know Bette, I was wrong and I just felt so inadequate. I am sorry for the rejection you felt from me. Bette I never thought of you that way I only always saw you as the person I love. Even gender was not an issue after I fell in love with you. I will admit that in the beginning it was because I had never before felt attracted to another female until I met you and I just did not know how to deal with it.”

“Tina it’s alright we moved past that a long time ago. We both have a lot to be forgiven for but the great thing is we can forgive.”
