Bette put the wine glasses down on the bureau and went over to stand next to the bed. “Sorry T,’ she apologized as she hugged the baby. “I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
Tina closed the book she had been reading and put it on the nightstand“Thanks. But you didn’t. She’s wired.”
Bette loosened her grip on Angelica and leaned back, giving the girl an appraising look. “Are you wired?”
Angelica raised her eyebrows and shrugged.
Tina leaned back against the pillows. “I think Angelica is very excited about having two mamas home all night long.”
Bette watched Tina in the dim light. The robe she had put on was tied loosely, and her every movement revealed and concealed landscapes of skin. A glance of the swell of her cleavage. a glimpse of the silky plains of a thigh, the enticing small hills and valleys of her collarbone…It was Bette’s turn to raise an eyebrow. ”This is very exciting.”
Turning to Angelica, she continued. “Which is exactly why you need to get to bed.”
She picked the child up and settled her back down under the covers. Angelica safely retucked, Bette walked to the bookshelf and picked out a new book. “Clearly we need some heavy artillery tonight. Time tested tactics.”
She handed the book to Tina and sat down on the other side of the bed. Snuggled between her mamas, Angelica gave a huge yawn and relaxed as Tina began to read.
“In the great green room There was a telephone And a red ballon And a picture of- The cow jumping over the moon…”

Aww, this chapter felt like a quiet night. It had a great pacing. Yes, Goodnight Moon is a classic! I've used it like 8098098 times when I used to babysit.

That was one oof my favorite books to read to my little ones before bed. I see Bette has a little more on her mind than getting Angelica to slumberland. I really enjoyed this chapter and hope to read the next one soon.

Boy, the mommas ganging up on tiny Angelica. That was cute and very enjoyable. I love the quiet time that is spent with the family. I hope that we get to see some of that in season 6.
