Alice I’m not finished.. Brie says

Oh yes you are mom! Let’s eat!…everyone laughs ..I’m serious …Bette gets up pulling Tina behind her filling their plates from the buffet that’s set up..

Babe that was rude to your Mom. Tina scolds

I’m sorry but I know she is hurt and she would keep going if we let her, I for one am starving and getting a headache. I will apologize to her later..

Why not now?.. a voice come behind them.

Mom!.. I’m sorry but you were going to keep bashing me till I broke.. so I broke OK… now fill your plate and put something in your mouth. Where’s Carl? She looks around for him. Then continues to fill her plate.

He went to the bathroom to wash his hands.. Brie says

Get them dirty sitting next to you? Bette was being sarcastic to her mother from their earlier conversation and Brie loved it cause it meant she had Bette rattled because she was changing the subject.

Payback’s a bitch.. Bette stopped and looked back around to her mother. I heard that somewhere before .Brie says

You’re so mean to me… Bette smirks knowing her mom was messing with her. I’m, sorry mom I can’t say that enough. I was not planning on asking her when I saw you before Christmas. least ways not on the trip. But everything went so well at her folks house then the trip to Mexico I asked Peggy to pick the ring up that I had chosen for her when I was in New York last… Others started getting their food. Carmen starts some music up as Bette and Tina walk back towards their seats.

So you were planning on asking her just didn’t have the time picked out so you knew before Christmas? Bette put her plate down and turned back to her mom.

Yes but…

You knew and didn’t tell me…

Mom!… Yes I had it in my head but I was still working through it myself at the time there was problems with Her family at the time, I also knew that it may have been too soon. She looks over into Tina’s  eyes..But when everything seem to fit together over Christmas and my love grew even stronger for her,Looking back to her mom… I called Peggy to pick up the ring. I was not thinking to tell anyone. I was nervous she could have said no it was too soon.  Mom I’m sorry, really sorry.. I didn’t plan it.

Ok Bette I believe you it just hurt, others knew before me. Mom I was drunk I was going to come home and tell you first.

Ok … I’ll drop it. But you better tell me when she’s pregnant, Brie says pointing to Tina. Tina smirks and her eyes popped open bigger seeing Bette being scolded.

Mom.. I promise the second I knock her pretty little ass up you will be the first person I tell…If you want you can be in the next room.. Bette says sarcastically .

Now don’t be brash with me! Brie says pointing her finger at her.. Carl had been standing behind her for this last bit of the conversation.

Carl can you do something with my mother? Tina is trying to hold her laughter Bette and her mom cracks her up.

Carl smiles at Brie. He starts to speak but bites his lip when she looked at him.. and he gives her a look instead which calms her ..Ok let’s eat she doesn’t say anything else to Bette  and goes to get something to eat with Carl. Bette sits next to Tina.

Well that was entertaining…Tina giggles…

It was wasn’t it?…Bette giggles with her.. shaking her head.. welcome home… they both crack up…
