Chapter two

"Tina Kennard?"

Angelica asked. She wasn’t sure if she heard the name correctly.

"That’s you’re birth mother’s name. She and I had history for a very very long time."

Bette replies. She thought of that cold night in January.

"So, what happened?"

Angelica asked. She was dying to know the ins and outs of the what happened that very night. The thought of having two mommies didn’t bothered her, but in a way she would’ve of liked to know her better than just by her first and last name.

"The courts gave me sole custody of you and I moved away."

Bette replies.

"To Massachusetts?"

Angelica asked. She wanted to know more about Los. Angeles and it’s beautiful attractions.

"Yes. I was familar with the area. I once dated someone from here years ago."

Bette replies.

"A woman?"

Angelica asked.

"No. A man."

Bette replies.

"Well, what happened?"

Angelica asked.

"Like all relationships, we broke up, and decided to keep it that way."

Bette replies.

"Did mommy make you happy?"

Angelica asked.

"She did. But, once I felt threatened that she’d take you away, I got up and did something about it. I wasn’t about to let Tina walk away with you. I couldn’t let some man walk into my daughter’s life and confuse her. I didn’t want HENRY to raise you."

Bette spits out.

"Henry? Who’s Henry?"

Angelica asked. The young child locked eyes with her mother and for the first time she read her. She shook her head back and forth as she imagined the pain that Bette must of went through. The little girl lowers her head and doesn’t utter another word.

"Would you still like to know?"

Bette asked.

"No. I know enough. We should go mom. The janitors will be locking the building soon and I don’t want to spend another minute in here. This building gives me the creeps."

Angelica replies. And Bette chuckles to her comment.

"I hear you. Hey, lets grab a slice. I could go for a slice of pepperoni."

Bette suggests. And, this made Angie smile. To Bette this made her feel better. This was the first time she smiled since coming off the stage.

"Cool. I’ll have a slice of cheese, please."
