"Mommas!" a bouncing Angie came bounding into the room and the two women jumped apart.

"Hey pumpkin, are all the schoolchildren behaving themselves?" Tina recovered quickly.

"No" Angie shook her head "They’re not as good as me"

Both women laughed, not sure whether to be disappointed or greatful that their daughter interrupted their moment.

"Angie, how about you set the table while I finish getting dinner ready?" Bette asked.

"Ok!" the little girl answered happily "Momma T you help!"

Tina took one last longing look at Bette before following her daughter out of the kitchen to help set the table. The brunette turned back to the pans and tried to shake off the instant arousal that she had felt at Tina’s touch. She got the food ready and carried it out to her waiting girls.

"Wow, that looks good doesn’t it Angie?" Tina said, turning to her daughter who had her knife and fork in her hands at the ready.

"Yep yep yep!"

Bette chuckled as she set down the food and served it out.

It was so easy for the three of them to slip into a routine, kept amused by Angie’s tales of school and Bette happy to take a backseat and listen to Tina’s stories from work. As they finished their food, Tina put down her cutlery and rested a hand over Bette’s.

"You really have changed, you know that?"

"What do you mean?" Bette asked, furrowing her brow in confusion.

"I don’t think I heard you mention work once. And you just let me go on and on about Lez Girls"

"I….like listening to you talk"

Their fingers softly brushed against each other as they slowly linked hands.

"Mommas!"Angie yelled, banging her fork on the table.

"Bette, can you hear something?" Tina asked jokingly.

"Nope, I don’t think so"

"MOMMAS!" Angie yelled louder.

Neither woman could keep a straight face as they turned to their agitated daughter.

"I think somebody wants some attention" Bette nodded at Angelica.

"Aww does my boo want some attention?" asked Tina in a sing-songy voice.

"How about…" Bette got up and moved behind Angelica’s chair "some tickling!"

Angie erupted into fits of giggles as she was tickled first by Bette and then Tina joined in.
