    "That wasn’t fun," Tina muttered, placing Angelica on her high chair. "Neighborhood meeting. Ugh."

    Angelica nodded her sympathy.

    "And, okay, I know I keep telling you you look like your Mama B, but do you not look like me at all?"

    "Mama!" Angelica exclaimed.

    "Adopted, my glutes," Tina muttered, sitting down on the chair beside her daughter. "I mean, you have my eyes."

    Angelica smiled at her, melting the blonde’s heart. There had to be a limit to the number of times she would be asked if Angelica was adopted, right? And maybe someday she’ll respond to that properly, without the silence or violent outburst. Maybe.

    She picked up an empty jar of baby food, and glanced at the label. "Hey, did you like the apple more than peaches, or was it the other way around?"

    Angelica lunged forward, and grabbed the cap of the jar of her baby food.

    "Hey!" Tina grabbed the cap back. "No."

    Angelica pouted, and her lower lip quivered.

    "No. No. Baby, please don’t cry." Tina pleaded.

    Angelica started breathing in short staccato breaths, in preparation for the coming wail, ignoring her mother’s pleas.

    Tina gave up, and offered the cap back.

    Angelica instantly brightened, and happily took the cap. "Mama."

    "Need help?"

    Tina turned, and saw her babysitter, Andrea Hamilton, at the door. "Don’t you knock anymore?"

    "I did, but I guess you were having a riveting conversation," the 15-year-old replied.

    Tina sighed. "I swear, each passing day, she’s becoming more and more–"

    "–Like her mother?" Andrea filled in cheekily.

    "I’m pretty sure I wasn’t expecting you today." Tina pointed out, ignoring her babysitter’s wise-ass comment.

    "Yeah, actually, I kind of need your help."

    "Weren’t you the same kid who jacked up her prices after a month of service?"

    "And yet you still pay up," Andrea returned. "What do you know about art?"

    "Why?"

    "My guidance counselor has asked me to write on five jobs I’d want."

    "And you want to become an artist?"

    "I want to become a curator."

    "Good luck."

    6. Serious question……Where do you get the ability to write dialogue like this?? Do you do it professionally?? It flows, it’s natural, the characters are believable, they do normal real things..they are up and down, but they are there, right in front of us and we love them, all of them good and bad…I wish you’d post every day, 2x a day it’s so much fun to read what you have written…all of it, every story…pls give me some insight….Tks Tiff

    7. Angelica launched the jar cap at her babysitter, and made a direct hit. “Ow!” Andrea wailed.”Yeah!” Tina exclaimed, as she and her daughter both raised their arms in exuberance.”Hey, ow!” Andrea reminded the adult. lol that is sooo cute!!!!!! continue soon, ill be looking forward to it.

    8. I love the babysitter, Andrea. She is so onto Tina and she might be the one who gives her that final push towards Bette. I would love to see Andrea interviewing Bette and also asking very personal questions about her and Tina. Hope that you post soon.

    17. i love this tina…i hope things will began to work out soon…tina wants them back, so is bette…maybe they should talk again…thanks, this is such a wonderful story

    21. This is the Tina that is our Tina. Angie is going to be a smart child the more people talk to her the more she will learn. The babysitter is cute,a lonly kid tho thanks

    25. I echo missyang’s comments in that why is it up to Bette? There are 2 parties involved!! I really like Andrea. Funny how her choice careers are curator, showbusiness, reporter, professional athlete or personal assistant to some major power person. She reminds me of Alice too. Sometimes it really does take someone who is far removed from a relationship/situation to point out the path to those involved. Thanks for the update.

    26. Yep this is the Tina that we know and love and now it time for them to talk, work thing out and get back together. Andrea is funny just like Alice, Angie is so cute and mart. OK post soon please, thanks!

    27. Sometimes, I really hate Tina always uses ‘complicated’ to avoid every problem. Come one, lady. You walked out of the house yourself. You decided to separate for a while. You had feelings for men. Why is it up to Bette? How is it up to Bette? Is it really up to Bette?

    30. TD, More brilliance from your good and great sense. I lvoe that way the Andie was so able to pick up on all of TIna’s doubts and wants about Bette withiout saying as much. Maybe this gentle nudge will assist Tina imrealizing what she wants and needs to complete both her own and Angelica’s lives. A family is the ultimate goal and hopefully this time apart has helped Tina clarify what this means to her. Please show us all the way back on track. The way to recaptured those idyllic days of Bette and Tina. Please, pretty please. Still watching and reading everything you write because I know that with your talent I will always enjoy every story and chapter. Thank you so much for sharing them with me. Your Loyal Fan.

    31. Tina and Bette are so close, yet so far. Somebody’s gotta make the first move and I think it’s gonna be Alice.Andrea is wise beyond her years, either that or she’s been watching alot of sitcoms. :}The story’s great – keep on, please.

    33. Oh my gosh so I have to say that you’re one of my absolute favourite authors the angst the love the family everything you write tibette and the family perfectly I’m hooked my friend told me to read your fics and I’m just I’m so happy I listened to her because you’re amazing ahhh I love your brain I hope you’re still writing

    34. And Tina saying it’s up to Bette for the trial separation to be over and Bette probably just waiting for Tina to get her back ahhhh they own my heart
