“Don’t know” Shane shrugged as she nonchalantly replied looking down at her lap

“Not her too Shane” Tina incredulously questioned Shane who only kept her head down

“I knew there was going to be trouble the second I saw Sherrie Jaffe walk into the club that night” Alice added

“Sherrie Jaffe, Shane?” Bette’s eyes got wide as she said

“It’s complicated” Shane picked up her coffee and took a sip.  Jenny came over to their table looking like she just won the lottery

“My book is getting published!” she happily told everyone at the table

They all cheered and congratulated her on the good news

“I am officially a fucking writer now” Jenny exclaimed to the world.

“Jenny language please” Bette reminded her of the baby in their presence.  Jenny went to crouch down between Bette and Tina and faced the babbling toddler.

“Please, forgive my vulgar exclamation of happiness due to an unexpected occurrence” she went to pick up the baby’s hand but suddenly realized that it was slobbered with drool, she then smiled and gave her a light pat on the shoulder before proceeding “You see, I have just been informed that a certain publishing company, one that you are probably not familiar with, has taken interest in my work.  They have gone as far as advancing me a check as a show of good faith that they will indeed publish my manuscript” Angie watched Jenny’s lips move in amazement as she sat in her Momma B’s arms mesmerized by her voice while everyone else looked on with furrowed brows “This is the moment that every starving writer has been waiting for” she shook her head “this is the beginning of great things to come.”  Her moment was short lived as she noticed a foul odor and quickly stood back up “What the fuck is that smell?”

“Jenny” Bette scolded her as Tina picked up Angie from her lap

“I’ll take her babe.  Can we use your office Kit?”

“You know where it’s at” Kit nodded as Tina picked up the diaper bag and left with Angie.

“Hey Helena” Alice said “Thanks for getting me that interview with Josh”
