Once she received a nod from the group, Tina sadly made her way out of The Planet.

"Kit, do you think you can take Angie? Tina should be by any minute to pick her up"

"Uh sure but why can’t you stay with her?" Kit asked puzzled as she took Angie in her arms, "If Tina should be coming by, why can’t you wait a few more minutes?"

Bette sighed and rubbed her forehead, "I just . . Something came up last minute and I have to head into the gallery and-"

"Bette" Kit warned in that way she does whenever she knows her baby sister is lying, dragging out the younger Porter’s name.

"What?" Bette asked innocently, sighing again as she pouted.

"You better not be avoiding that girl" Kit raised an eyebrow as she tried not to laugh at how sad and cute her sister was being.

"I’m not avoiding her" Bette was met with yet another look from Kit and decided to give in, "Okay fine, maybe I am"

Kit was the one to sigh, shaking her head as she rebalanced Angelica on her hip. "I just don’t understand you two sometimes. I think you both seriously need to sit down and talk"

"I have tried talking to her" Kit looked at her skeptically, "Kit, I swear its not me"

Without saying a word, Kit pursed her lips and handed Angie back to Bette.

"What happened?" Bette asked as she took the baby into her arms. She looked over her shoulder when Kit gestured behind her and was met with the subject of their conversation.

"Hey" Tina offered a small smile.

"Hi" Bette replied with her own half version.

Tina looked away from the brunette to focus on her baby girl, her smile widening at the sight of her beautiful daughter. She held out her arms to which Angie immediately leaned towards her and took the child from Bette’s arms. She smothered her daughter with kisses and gave her little girl all of her attention not only because she missed Angelical but also because Tina wasn’t sure what to say to Bette. The silence between them was slightly awkward to say the least.
