"Shush, shush sweetheart mommy’s here. Are you hungry?  I’ll bet you are."  Bette’s mom

Bette felt something near her mouth and turned her head to it.  She took it in her mouth and sucked.  After a bit of adjusting she felt the liquid in her mouth again.  It felt wonderful and her tummy quickly filled.

After she had her fill she fell asleep.  She was so tired and didn’t think anyone would mind if she had a little sleep.

Tina sat watching Bette grow.  Bette was now 4 in earth years.  She had grown into a wonderful little girl.  She had long dark curly hair and her skin was the color of mocha coffee.  She had dark eyes and was tall for her age.  Tina loved sitting and watching Bette but she would much rather be on earth getting on with finding her. And then spending their time on earth together hopefully forever.

She had enjoyed all of the time she spent looking down on Bette and secretly wished she was allowed to remember them so she could tease Bette.

She closed her eyes remembering Bette toddling. She had been sat with shane in her favourite place.  They had both laughed so hard and for so long tears were streamimg down their faces.

"Look at this omg Melvin you have got to see Bette."  Bette’s mom laughing

Melvin went and stood where his wife was and looked up the hallway.  There was Bette toddling down the hallway holding her teddy close with her nappy round her ankles "Need potty mommy Need potty".  All the while weeing her way down the hallway.

Melvin tried his hardest not to laugh but couldn’t help himself.  He laughed long and loud.  Bette stopped in her tracks and looked at her parents.  The anger evident on her face.  She stomped her little foot on the ground causing her parents to laugh even harder.

She gave them her best annoyed look and turned away.  She waddled out of her nappy and down the hall. Melvin chased after her scooping her upin his arms and twirling her around.

"Melvin,  MELVIN stop, she’s weeing all over the walls."  Melvin’s wife laughing and trying to catch her breath.  He stopped and looked at the wet walls and floor around him then started laughing again.

"Oh Bette you are so wonderful".  He held her close.  She threw her arms around him trtying to hug him close.

"Love you dada."  Bette

"Love you more baby".  Melvin  

Tina heard Bette screaming.  She sounded so distraught.  Tina had been distracted thinking of Bette.  She wondered what had happened to make Bette so upset.

Tina watched as Bette’s dad took her into the house.  She was really kicking up a fuss.  Screaming and shouting, kicking out her arms and legs not caring that she hit her dad.

"Calm down Bette calm down."  Bette’s dad.  He sat her on a chair and knealt down looking her straight in the eyes.  Bette sobbed quietly.

"Your momma died baby.  She is in heaven now with the angels looking after us."  Bette’s dad

Tina couldn’t belive her ears.  Bette’s mom was here?
