Girl, aint nobody gonna be godmother but me! Kit stated as she put the bottle and cigars down and finally got her own cigar out of the way, enabling her to speak normally. Alice stared at her in utter admiration.

Amen to that! Alice exclaimed loudly, feeling happy that at least someone in the bunch had some sense. She was just about to comment on Kits Al Capone-like appearance but literally swallowed the words as she saw who was behind her. Lara and Dana came up behind Kit, carrying an obscenely large bottle of champagne each. Alice felt that familiar feeling; she knew it all to well by now. She went completely cold from the inside out as she saw her girlfriend standing next to her ex. Her mood dropped like a stone. Dana just put down her bottle on the table and moved on to sit next to Alice and placed a light kiss on the blondes cheek. Alices heart felt a little lighter. Dont smother the mouse she muttered quietly to herself.

What, Al? Dana asked, and seemed completely unaware what Alice had just said.

Uh, nothing. Alice answered quickly. She had spoken her thoughts out loud again. That was not a good thing. Ey, Kit! Toss us a cigar will you! Lara, why dont you join the celebration. She shouted over the table, trying, trying very hard to sound cheerful and succeeded quite well. Kit threw Alice and Dana each a cigar. I have a lighter, thanks. She said and first lit Danas cigar and then her own. Dana immediately started to cough, but she tried hard not to show it. Alice put her hand on her girlfriends back and moved it in a circular motion.

Thanks Alice, but my shift started ten minutes ago so Lara excused herself. Alice didnt feel that was such a loss at all, she was quite content with Lara having to leave. But then Kit interrupted.

You can sit down for ten minutes and celebrate my new niece. There is always time for that. Kit stated and raised her glass, filled with orange juice, to the sky. Angelica! she proclaimed in a solemn voice.

Angelica! All answered and raised their glasses.

The couple walked close to each other on the way back to Alices apartment. They had to leave the mini behind. Alice wasnt fit for driving by a long shot. Nor was Dana. When they reached Alices front door they were laughing hysterically at something or other, and it took them quite a while to even get inside. When they finally did they tripped over each other and fell down on the hallway floor, which off course caused another outburst of laughter. Neither of them could, nor wanted to get up from the floor. Alice moved closer to Dana, and put her nose in the curly, long, brown hair. She put her hand on Danas belly and lightly caressed her skin.
