Tina sat at the kitchen table, holding her cup of coffee and thinking.  It felt so right, so normal, to fall asleep next to Bette last night.  They had continued their make out session for a little while before falling asleep in each other’s arms.  Tina awoke entwined with Bette, but quietly unwrapped herself and just laid there for a while, watching the beautiful brunette sleep. 

She got up before Bette awoke to get Angelica set for the day.  There were still a few details to go over before their date tonight.

Bette emerged from the bedroom in a robe, drying her hair with a towel.  She bent down and kissed Tina gently.  “Hey, I woke up and you were gone.”

“You were sleeping so soundly I didn’t want to wake you.  I got up with Angel and thought we’d let you sleep a while longer.”

Bette looked over at their daughter.  “Good morning cutie.”

“MaBe!!”  Angelica greeted her mother by flinging a Cheerio in her direction.

Tina laughed.  “I think more is on the floor than is in her.”  She reached over and handed Angelica a Cheerio.  “Eat it baby, don’t throw it.”

Angelica looked at the cereal, studying it for a moment.  She tried to offer it to Bette.

“No, boo.  You eat it.” 

Angelica looked at her mothers, then shoved the Cheerio in her mouth.  She began to babble and grabbed another one.

Tina shook her head.  “There’s coffee if you want it.”

“Thanks, T.  I’ve got to get ready and head to campus.”

“Remember, no staying late tonight.  You need to be home at a decent hour, Dean Porter.”

“I will.  No later than five, I promise.”

Tina watched Bette disappear into the bedroom.  She looked over at their daughter.  “She’s got quite the night to look forward to, Angel.  I can’t wait to go on this date with your mommy.”

Angelica ‘talked’ to Tina for a while before Bette reemerged dressed and ready for work.

“Okay, I’m off.”  Bette quickly finished off a cup of coffee.  She walked over to Angelica and kissed her on the forehead.  “Bye boo.  Have a good day.  I’ll see you later.”
