"Great. Why did you have to show up now Porter? You’re messing up the vibe I have going with Angie"

When Alice turned the baby away from Bette, she started to cry again. Bette crossed her arms unimpressed as she stood by the table and rolled her eyes.

"Some vibe Al"

"It’s not my fault. She’s been like this all day. Even with Tina, right?"

She looked to the blonde for support and when she didn’t get it, Alice narrowed her eyes at an innocent looking Tina. 

Bette made a face at Alice before flashing Angelica a wide smile, holding out her arms toward the baby.

"Come here pretty girl. I’ll take you away from big bad auntie Alice"

Alice rolled her eyes as she carefully handed Angelica over to Bette, "Oh yeah like you’re gonna stop her from cry-"

Her words immediately caught in her throat when Angelica stopped crying the moment she was in Bette’s arms. Alice was utterly amazed at how calm and soothed the baby seemed to be, watching with Tina in silence as the brunette gently rocked the newborn in her arms.

"You were saying Al?" Bette asked with a smirk as she lovingly stroked the top of Angelica’s head, completely in love with her curls.

"Yeah well . . whatever" Alice pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest, "I wore her down for you"

Bette laughed and laid her head against Angelica’s, inhaling her soft baby scent.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Alice grumpily asked, "Aren’t you supposed to be setting up for the artist dinner tonight?"

Bette shifted Angelica’s head so that she could see Alice better, "Yeah but Jan, James and I needed a break. I just came in here to grab some lunch for us and to say hi to my favorite girl. Isn’t that right?"

She placed a round of kisses on Angelica’s forehead and cooed to the baby, making her smile. Tina watched with her own smile on her face, her heart warming at the sight.

After a moment’s thought, Bette corrected herself. "Sorry, one of my favorite girls. Hey T"

She winked at Tina and damn if that didn’t turn the blonde into a pile of mush. The blonde instantly felt her cheeks warm and her smile grew even wider. She lowered her head in that shy yet cute way Bette adored so much.
