“Well I can see that I’m not wanted there, hey everybody.” Tina said looking around the table and saw the young face staring up at her. She took a step back and gave Bette a questioning glance.

Bette practically jumped to her feet, “I’m sorry T, that is so rude of me. Tina this is my sister Danielle. Danielle this is Tina.”

Very much like her sister in mannerisms around a lady, she rose to her feet and accepted Tina’s hand into both of hers as she offered her a genuine smile.

“Hi, it’s so nice to finally meet you.” Tina said as she now noticed that Danielle looked every bit like Bette. Perhaps a little younger and by the looks of her attire and lot more care free. But the eyes carried the same long lashes and deep wide eyed vivacity that captured your attention instantly.

“I wish I could say the same but this pitiful excuse for a sister has never mentioned you to me before. I’m sorry to say.”

“You little shi–” Bette was about to say something she knew Angie would pick up in a heartbeat, so she censored herself. “You young lady, are never around for me to have a conversation with.”

“Excuses, excuses," she said rolling her eyes away from Bette and back to Tina. “So who is this gorgeous little Momma that you have brought in here?”

“That would be my daughter Angelica. But as you can see she’s with her other mother Carmen. When she’s around I don’t exist.”

“Wait,” She said looking at Bette who was now looking up at the ceiling hiding her smile. “That’s Angelica?” Again Bette said nothing still looking up. “You said you were in love?”

“I am!” Bette proclaimed and continued before anybody could prod with questions not pertaining to the subject. “How could you not be in love with that face?” the attention at the table was now on Angelica who was babbling while twisting Carmen’s chain in her little hands. 

“It’s true and almost very sad.” Alice chimed in coming up to the unexpected table. Tasha and Alice took a seat and she continued. “My niece has got your sister wrapped around her little finger something terrible.”
