“I’m leaving, I’ll ask someone else to take care of you” Shane said coldly and then she left

Tina arrived at Bette’s house, she had called her early in the afternoon to tell her that she would stopped by the house to pick up Angelica and that she needed to talk to her.  She was about to ring the bell, she still had her keys but she thought that ringing the bell would be the best so she did.  As Bette didn’t answer the door she had to open it “Hello?”

“We’re outside in the patio!” Bette replied, once she had Tina in front of her “I know that you still have your keys, that’s why I didn’t answer the door” Bette handed the baby to Tina so she could kiss her “What did you want to talk me about?”

“I just wanted to tell you that we can start the adoption process as soon as you want and I think that the sooner the better because it will take time” Tina’s voice was calm “And I wanted to make sure that you finally understand that we don’t need messengers, if you’re mad at me, you’ll have to put your anger aside for the good of Angelica as you did today” Tina waited for a reply from Bette but she said nothing so Tina continued “It’s going to be hard to be away from my daughter but as I told you before she’s your daughter too so from now on you can spend one day of the weekend with her and one night during the weekdays or maybe two” this time Bette wanted to say something but Tina didn’t let her “We don’t have to go to a lawyer to set a schedule for us once you adopt Angelica”

“Thank you Tina, it means a lot” Bette’s voice was warm

“I’m not doing you any favors Bette, I’m thinking of my daughter” Tina grabbed the baby’s bag

Bette knew Tina was leaving so she stood up “The girls and I are having dinner here to celebrate my new job, please join us”

“Thank you Bette but I have a business party tomorrow night” Tina lied “Thank you though” They were both exiting the house “Angelica can spend the night with you, I won’t be late but you’re celebrating, take the baby” she said before getting inside her car
