Bette looked up from her work as Tina and Angelica entered the house. "I hope you brought food."
"Thai," Tina told her, placing the paperbag on the table. She glanced at Angelica. "Are you hungry, or will all that junk food you consumed at the hospital be enough for you?"
"That was hours ago," Angelica pointed out, kissing her MaBe’s cheek. "I’ll go call Jake about homework."
"Didn’t you break up?" Bette asked. She still wasn’t sure she liked her daughter having a boyfriend, but what could she do?
Angelica looked at her. "No."
Bette turned to Tina, puzzled. "Didn’t they–"
"Call Katie for dinner. Five minutes." Tina told Angelica, before the teenager ran up to her room. To Bette, said, "they made up."
"So they broke up."
"For a week. Let it go."
Bette stood up, and helped Tina bring the takeout to the kitchen. "By the way, Katie insists all this takeout can’t be good for our health."
"Well, she could have offered to cook." Tina said. She smirked. "Or she could’ve gotten you to cook."
"That was a really cheap shot at my cooking skills, wasn’t it?"
"I wouldn’t think of it." Tina laughed, sharing a quick kiss with Bette. "So we’re temporary guardians to Terry while her parents are away."
"You know where they are?"
"Conflicting stories." Tina told her. She placed the food on dishes. "She should be allowed out by next week."
Bette nodded. "I see."
"So have you seen the car?"
Bette closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. "It’s going to cost a lot to repair, insurance or not."
"I told you about Terry’s dad’s assistant offering to pay for the repair and bills, right?" Tina asked, as she and Bette started placing the dishes on the dining table.
"When are they coming back?"
"No news on that."
Bette frowned. "That’s horrible."
"I don’t know how to tell Terry." Tina admitted. "She didn’t ask, though."
"Maybe she’s used to it."
"That’s horrible."
Bette shrugged. "You get used to it."
Tina paused, and turned to her. "When you’re a kid? You never get used to it. You just stop getting your hopes up. And I don’t know how bad it was for you, but nobody should ever feel that way about their parents."

so cute
They are a normal every day family,that have children. I have on like Angle ,If a hair is on the floor he will trip and fall. Love Katy thanks
Fun indeed. I like how light and carefree this story reads. :)A part of me feels sad for Bette though, since most, if not all, of the tender moments with the kids (when they reach out to the parents) has involved Tina solely. I don’t think I’ve read either child snuggling up to Bette first or asking for/choosing her over Tina… Don’t their kids need her attention and affection just as much? Or, is Bette destined to assume the emotionally detatched disciplinarian role only? Just wondering.
Great Chapter..THANKS
Cute post.
Great chapter, light and fun. Can’t wait for the lectur from Bette.

Great story! Funny and moving and it makes me all warm inside. :-)
Although I’ve read this story before I still enjoy it like the first time I did… In some cultures ppl just don’t get enough of tiff_duke’s stories.. ;)
They truly are a family. I really enjoy their conversations and how they all get along. Tina informing Bette of what’s going on and then calming her down when it couldn’t possibly get any worse. LOL. And Angel and Katie, different sides of the same coin. Love the story. Please continue.
I love how you have made them a tipical family.. Love it please continue..Post soon
Always Excellent and Fun! … Thanks so very much for writing. Loved the last line!
your stories r the best!!!!!!!!! IC could learn a thing or two from you!!!!!!! I hate where s3 is heading, it’s ridiculous. I’m losing interest in the show because of where it’s headed!!!
Excellent chapter. Can’t wait for the next one.
Ah, yes, those angels often come equiped with bright swords and even when they come to help, they are a different order of being and may not realize the havoc they leave behind in our mortal spehere. Same for teenagers. Continue to be impressed with your depiction of family life. Sort of like a later day, lezzie “Leave it to Beaver” (is there a pun in there?) with the temperature turned up.
i love this family and love how bette and tina deal with the kids and each other…just love, please, write for season 4, we need you on their writing stuff
