“Yes, we all need to do that as we were so unfair to both of them before. We were in the wrong in just taking Tina’s side of things and not supporting Bette at all. I feel it’s very important for all of us to change our ways and just be supportive of them and their little family.” Shane commented and the others agreed.

The conversation then centered on those thoughts, and everyone agreed it was time to get the ‘family’ back on track with each other. They had all missed Bette’s presence in their lives as she always had brought care and support to them in their times of need. It was time to let go of the negative and be supportive of each other within the family.

The grandmothers had sat back and listen to the younger generation and felt that they had finally understood the consequences of their actions and decisions upon both Tina and Bette. They now joined in on the conversation and added in their perceptions and perspectives. The younger women listened with interest in how they could best support the couple and their new little family.

They asked Kit about Ozzie and she shared what she could about him and Bette’s story. She garnered many moment of giggles as she shared about Ozzie’s way of being in the world. The younger women enjoyed hearing his story and understanding his place in Bette’s life. They were all excited about being his auntie.

Soon, the to-go meal for Ozzie arrived and the women left the restaurant to return back to the hospital to get their cars and head for their own homes to rest. Kit would run into the hospital room to pick up Ozzie and then they’d take him back to the beach house where she and the grandmothers were all staying. It would give Bette and Tina some privacy to talk and be with each other.

“Momma?   Momma?” Ozzie asked her quietly. He nudged her with his elbow when she didn’t answer him.

Bette woke up with his voice and then his elbow; she had dozed off being so tired. “Ah, yes, Honey, what is it?”

“You sleepy?” He asked her. She smiled with his concern.
