"Momma T, can I go to Aunt Alice’s place later? I have to ask her to help me on something." Tyler asked her mom while they were at The Planet waiting for her other mother.

    "You have to ask your Momma B, Ty. She might want us in the house together later. You know, the usual Friday night dinner."

        "Well, I can go home before 6. I can let Aunt Alice drop me off. I think it’d be okay for her because she has to pick up Aunt Dana later."

    "Hey! How are you, you two? Where’s Angie?" Bette asked while trying to fix her chair and reaching for Tina for a light kiss and reaching out to hug Tyler.

        "She’s with Kit." Tina replied as she reached for Bette’s hand and putting it on her lap. "Kit asked if she can take Angie to her office while she’s on break. I think the little girl is asleep."

        "I see. So have you ordered?"
 
        "Yeah, we just ordered the usual for us but we didn’t order anything for Alice and Shane. You know how they are."

        "Oh, Momma B. Can I go to Aunt Alice’s place later? I promise to be home before six for the dinner. Please."

        "What are you going to do there? Can’t you just do it at home. You know your condition. You’re not allowed to be exhausted."

        "I know. I know. I’m just going to-"

        "Hey! She’s just going to borrow some books and I’m helping her with her lessons afterwards. Is it that difficult to have quality time with my favorite niece?" Alice popped out from nowhere and sat beside Tyler. Tyler instinctively glanced at Alice and caught her wink.

        Bette knows that there’s nothing she can do anymore because it seems that it is already a done deal between the two girls. "Alright. But make sure you drop her at home before 6, Al. You know how we want to spend the evening together on a Friday night."

        "Yes, mom," Alice said trying to mimic the way Tyler always say it.

        Shane’s arrival seemed to coincide with the foods they ordered. Alice ordered something for Shane and all of them seemed to have their own world during lunch. After lunch they all bid goodbye to each other.
