Wrapping her body in a sheet she ran to the living room and
then the kitchen seeing no Bette she then headed back down the hall to Angie’s
room. When she saw that Angie was gone as well she knew that they would be back
shortly and the rapid heart beat in her chest began to slow down.

Putting on a pot of coffee on the way back to her bedroom
she grabbed some comfortable clothes and headed off to shower. Just as she sat
down at the kitchen table with her first cup of coffee for the day she heard a
knock at the front door.

“Good morning where have you two been so bright and early.”
She said as she opened the door to let them in.

Holding up a box of fresh donuts Bette simply said. “Bakery,
I hope you didn’t mind that I took Angie along with me since she was already
up. We thought we would let you sleep a while we went on a breakfast run. I
smell fresh coffee…it goes perfect with fresh donuts. Smiling at Tina as she
motioned for them to follow her into the kitchen.

Sipping the last of the coffee and munching on the last few
bites of the donuts and pastries Angie already having eaten her fill was in the
shower that left Bette and Tina alone to talk.

“Tina I hope I didn’t mess things up for us last night. When
I came by for dinner I certainly never planned for the evening to turn out like
it did.”

“Bette I was the one who seduced you remember. I wanted you
and no it didn’t mess anything up. I meant everything I said to you last night.
I want us to start over…I have always loved you Bette. I know you find it hard
to believe after the things I have done to hurt you but if you will let me I
will spend the rest of my life proving it to you.”

“Tina I have got to be honest with you…I’m scared to death.
I know if we mess up this time that is the end of not only us but my
relationship with Angie as well.”

“No Bette that’s where you are wrong weather you and I make
a go of it or not your relationship with Angie is secure. I was wrong to keep
her away from you. I gave you my word that I would never do that again and I
won’t. To prove it to you…one of my sister’s friends from college owns a law
firm here in town and I called her this morning to start paper work for you to
adopt Angie…if that’s alright with you?
