“I learned a little sign language today” Tina happily said

“Oh good for you” Jodie looked at her appreciatively “Listen, I have to be somewhere, it was nice seeing you” Jodie said backing away from them

“Listen there’s this coffee shop and I promise you they’ve got the best coffee in town” Tina invited “we meet there every morning, it’s called The Planet, maybe you could join us one morning”

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea, she hates my guts” Jodie thumbed toward the door

“No she doesn’t, besides maybe hanging out outside of work would do you both some good” Tina truly liked Jodie and thought she and Bette have similar personalities which is why their work relationship was so strained

“Thank you for the invite though; bye-bye Angelica” she said before walking away

The door opened again and Bette smiled at the site she was waiting to see now that her the day has come to an end.  Angie jumped in her Momma T’s lap as she saw her Momma B walk over to pick her up.

“Have you two been waiting long?” she asked as Tina picked up her briefcase and started walking out

“We got here just before Jodie left your office” Tina didn’t want to get into their business again

“Oh god” Bette wanted to drop the subject “Anyway how was your day?”

On their way to the car, Tina told her about the offer from Oscar and Bette was ecstatic about it.  They buckled Angie in her car seat then got in the front seats.

“The money won’t be as good” she told Bette “but I’ll be happy”

“So will I” Bette started the car “with the set schedule and my favorite part” she put the car in reverse and pulled out “no out of town location visits”

“It won’t be for another six months” Tina said “There is a project in the works and it will be my last one for Shaolin”

“Baby I’m so happy for you” Bette taking hold of Tina’s hand

“This is going to be great for us” Tina looked back at Angie who was starting to nod off from the car ride.  They arrived home and carried on with their normal routine of preparing and eating dinner as a family.  Bette wanted to start a whole bunch of family traditions and sitting every evening together for dinner was one of them.  Since both she and Tina have unpredictable morning schedules, dinner is the one time that they promised to never sacrifice for anything.  Dinner time is family time and one day, when Angie is old enough, she’ll be able to participate in preparing dinner and maybe they could add a board game to their nightly activity.
