Tina sighed again as she wrapped her hands around the warm cup of coffee, "I’m sorry, I’m just . . I haven’t been apart from Angie for more than an hour since she was born and like I said, you have Nathan . ."

"I got it. Its going to be okay" Alice placed a comforting hand over Tina’s and smiled at the flustered blonde before focusing back on the baby in her arms, "Angie, please tell your overprotective mommy that she has nothing to worry about. I got this"

Tina sighed as she looked at her baby girl whom was growing way too fast. Three months had passed since Angelica’s birth and though Tina knew her baby girl wouldn’t stay small forever, she wished that Angie’s growth was just a little bit slower.

"Look Tina, I know you’re scared but everything is going to be okay. Its just one night and I do know how to take care of a baby you know"

Tina couldn’t help but playfully roll her eyes and smile. She would be lying if she denied her overprotective nature and felt a little embarrassed by it.

"That’s true" She sighed, "You’re right"

"Besides" Alice said as she fed Angie her pacifier, "Bette needs you"

Tina’s stomach tightened at the sound of Bette’s name and in that instant, she felt the warmth spreading up her neck, heating her cheeks. She swallowed and took a sip out of her coffee to try and steady her nerves, silently hating how she still hadn’t been able to get a grip on her feelings. Even three months of constant contact with Bette failed to diminish the effect she had on Tina. If anything, the effect had increased tenfold.

Alice often joked to Tina by saying that the easiest way to a mother’s heart was through the child and though the blonde always laughed it off, she saw some truth to those words after a while.

Bette and Tina had shared endless intimate moments together in between nap times. They grew closer over the short yet quiet dinners, the meaningful talks as they washed dishes and even those nights where they had fallen asleep together simply because they were exhausted but it was those tender moments with Angie that Tina found herself falling in love with Bette.
