“It’s possible you never know”

“Wow babe that’s exciting, you’ll be a great addition to the California Arts”

“I’m sorry I didn’t call you” while holding Angie, Bette approached Tina and said

“You know we have to be more responsible when it comes to managing our time.  A little more of a heads up next time please, at least so I can sort out my own schedule.  I don’t want to get in the way of your passion it’s why you’re the best” Tina replied playing with their daughters little hand

“Thanks for being so understanding and supportive” Bette ended by kissing Tina on the lips.

Communication improved slightly even as Bette’s volunteer work for the California Arts board continued.  She would let Tina know if she had something important to do and Tina would rearrange her schedule to either go to work early, leave early or take Angelica with her.  Most of the time taking the baby to would be okay if she wasn’t needed on the set.  However, being on the set of a shoot is part of the producer’s job description.  Angelica was spending more time with a nanny than they had promised.  One day when they planned that Tina would be home early to feed Angie so she could attend a late meeting with the new screenwriters.  She saw Angus in the kitchen with Angie and heard Bette in their bedroom talking.  When she got to the room to inquire about Angus being there she saw her packing a suitcase as she was hanging up the phone.  Bette informed her of a last minute change in plans and that the board has asked her to go to Washington DC for the hearing because the person scheduled to go had injured her back surfing.  This did not sit well with Tina and she shut them in before letting out an exasperated sigh.

“Bette you know I have that late meeting with Helena and the new screenwriters you could have given me a little more of a warning”

“They just called me this afternoon, and the hearing is in five days from now I have to go.  T, they plan on cutting the funding for the Los Angeles Arts I can’t stand by and let that happen”
