Pick-up Styx
Adoption Talk
chapter 10
The Garden
When Bette arrived at The Garden, Tina was already at a table. Bette knew she was not late and wondered if Tina was trying to be extra nice or maybe trying to make her feel guilty because Tina had had to wait for her.
They ordered salads and a variety plate of small sandwiches and enjoyed their lunch. Small talk was difficult, but Tina tried and Bette was pleasant. Tina had a glass of wine, but Bette eschewed alcohol.
Before they began eating Bette handed the large clasp envelope back to Tina that contained two copies of the adoption agreement that she had signed. Tina pulled them out, checked the signatures and returned them to the envelope.
“It’s official,” commented Tina, “you are now the adoptive mom of Angelica according to the laws of California. We share custody.”
“I’m putting one of these in my lock box,” Tina continued, “and the other I’m returning to my attorney.
Bette nodded. She was doing the same thing.
“I noticed that you remodeled the bedroom and the master bath,” observed Tina, changing the subject.
Bette noticed that Tina did not compliment the remodel, but commented that the change had taken place. Bette nodded.
“What are you doing with the tub?”
“I’m having a whirlpool tub put in.”
“You never liked that sort of thing,” Tina commented.
Bette shrugged.
“I always liked the white,” Tina said, referring to the previous décor of the bedroom and bath.
Bette was quiet.
“I thought you liked the way it was decorated,” Tina wouldn’t let it go.
“I guess I just grew tired of all that white and wanted something warmer and friendlier.”
Tina looked at Bette to see if she meant something else by her comment, but Bette continued to eat and her face betrayed no hidden agenda.
“Do you have other remodeling planned?” Tina asked.
“I’m having the kitchen done next.”
It wasn’t lost on Tina that Bette was first remaking the parts of the house that Bette most associated with Tina. The bedroom had been theirs, of course, but the kitchen was hers… had been hers.
“Are you going to redo the entire house?”
“Yes. The living room will probably be next…after the kitchen. But before the living room I’m going to have a new hardscape installed around the pool and put in new plantings. A lady in the art department at school does landscaping and is going to work with me.”

Awww yea! For Bette…Boo at Tina…and awww at Bette and Angelica!
‘In Angelica’s room they saw both the child and Bette asleep on a sleeping mat on the floor. Angelica was right against Bette.’ And if I did that I’d never be able to get up off the floor. Angelica plays with Bette’s hair the way my cousin used to play with my mom’s nails.
I can’t get enough of this story. It is a joy. Thank you.
What kinda shit is Tina pulling? Bette needs to tell her to get the stepping and go flash her titties to somebody else! I’m just waiting for TIna to find out that Bette is with the senantor. Loving the bonding moments with angelica, so precious!
Kit is hating Tina something awful. Damn. I really would like for kit to be cool with Tina again. I totally understand why she can’t stand Tina, but Kit and Tina were friends b4, even when Kit and Bette weren’t speaking, Tina was always warm with kit.Kit knows that Tina is Bette’s weakness, and perhaps just trying to steer her away from Tina. But B&T angst is hella entertaining. Brief encounters should be near….LOL(i know this is not a Tibette,iknow),but it’ll be fun.Bette and kelly might be the new couple me thinks. Kelly like Bette.I need 10 pages or more next stingy Pancha. LOL.
Ya know Pancha, I have been reading this silently, trying to decide if I could deal with this not being Tina and Bette, and I think this chapter really made me think, It doesnt have to be Bette & tina. Tina doesnt deserve Bette, she is too selfish, and that is ok. I think I am looking forward to Lword 4 with them being seperate, If only they write as well as you. We can only hope. Thanks
how cute is little angel playing with bette hair?! Bette needs to tell Tina that her antics are not going to work. Better yet, Tina needs to see Bette and the senator together. Kit was right. tina does seem to dangle herself in front of Bette when she feels she may be moving on…I starting to really dislike that biatch! PPS.
How sweet that Bette is cuddled up with ANgelica on the floor? awwww….absolutely adorable.
Bette “the alpaha in the family”… family as in gang right? So the revealing tank top didn’t work out huh? It seems she hasn’t lost the weight she gained when she was pregnant.
ah sweetie. that was wonderful. makes me think you might have kids.?? really enjoyed myself, thanks.
I still think Tina is up to something. Very sweet with Angelica and Bette being able to rebond. What will Tina’s reaction be when she finds out about Barbara? Indeed, please continue soon, and longer!
Wow, Lamentamini, your mother must have really long nails. I have seen them so long they curl, but never knew they could be pulled straight. Howard Hughes wouldn’t have been able to hold a candle to her. That was a very sweet finish, pancha. Like some of the other commentators, I too am suspicious of La Tina and her bosom on parade. I think I trust Kit’s instincts on this one. You know I’ve met some nice, well behaved cats. A big white one I remember especially well. I never thought of Bette as a pet-owner, but with her child back, it might be a nice change.
A child knows when she or he can trust some. Bette has showed her love. and understanding. Who can or doesnt want to love Porter. Tina is up to something,but what/ HOOK-EM-HORNS. THANKS
Awww such a sweet post.
Bette and Angel together I realy loved it. it was so cute
pancha…I’m so glad that you posted.You have amazing ability to tell a tale. So natural and graceful. Bette always had a thing for Tina’s titties but Bette must really be enamored with the Senator for her to resist. I hope you’re feeling well. Plaese post as soon as you can. What a joy to read!
i’m happy for bette that she reunited with angelica
“Let’s go to Disneyland, said the spider to the fly”…lol…I couldn’t stop laughing. Kit is so funny. I mean really what DOES Tina expect? She REALLY hurt Bette and took her child away…of course she would want to remove anything that reminded her of her painful past. It’s a wonder Bette didn’t bulldoze the whole house. I think Bette and Angelica are so cute together…I was waiting for Tina to show up doing Bette’s time with lil A. I am bummed that this isn’t a Tibette story….but it’s so good anyway. Will Barbara make an appearance? Will Angelica like her…will Tina flip out. Please post real soon.
Talk amongst yourselves. I have to go get a tissue…
Your Kit is one of my favorite Kits, so much like S1, without the f-ups, however!
very sweet reunion – but what is Tina up to and why isn’t she being more direct?? oh yeah the Lword never direct. Great story – when will Tina find out about Barbara??
Sweet!! There is hope after…
My TiBette heart would love to see a reunion of Tina and Bette. They and Angel just seem so right together…
Glad to see Angelica back in Bette’s life. : )
