A distant clang of another fork falling on the floor forced Tina to push her thoughts to the side. She rolled her eyes with a smile and decided to worry about everything else later. Her help was obviously needed in the kitchen.

She grabbed a robe and made her way into the bathroom, finally catching sight of herself in the large mirror. Tina froze before laying her hands on the counter, leaning closer to her reflection as though that would change the image in front of her. She examined herself in disbelief and disgust, thankful that Bette hadn’t seen her during her first trip to the kitchen.

Her eyeliner was smudged, streaked down the corner of her eyes like black tears and whatever was left of her lipstick colored her top lip. Her hair was in complete disarray, knotted and sticking out from every side imaginable.

She looked like a mess plain and simple, the sight urging Tina to quickly right herself. She turned on the cold water and splashed handful after handful on her face, waking up and washing away her leftover makeup. She brushed her teeth and then her hair, pulling back to examine herself in the mirror once more.

Not wanting to appear too obvious, she tousled her hair a bit to give it a just roused from the bed look. Sexy. Tina smirked, wondering what Bette’s reaction would be. She walked back into the bedroom to grab a pair of red shorts and a white tank top, slipping both on before heading for the kitchen.

"Okay baby girl, here’s the deal" Bette’s voice caused Tina to stop just before rounding the corner, "We’re going to finish making breakfast for your mommy and then we’re going to surprise her with it. Now, you have to promise to put in a good word for me okay?"

Tina smiled wide as she heard Angie respond with another round of baby talk, completely taken with the fact that her daughter seemed to understand what Bette was telling her. It was as if the Angie was telling Bette not to worry.
