Reunion Challenge…I Never Should Have Taken Her From You
Chapter 1
Tina looked up from her laptop suddenly realizing the house had been quiet for too long. Leaning back in her chair she stretched while taking one last look at the screen before reaching forward and turning the computer off.
"Angie?" Tina called out to her daughter, her soft voice echoing off the walls as she made her way to the back of the house. Turning the corner she continued down the hall, hearing the beat of muffled music coming from under her bedroom door.
"Angie?" She repeated as she opened the door, the sound of her voice being swallowed by the vocals of none other than Kit Porter coming from the CD player on her dresser.
Hearing her name, the eight year old turned, and watched as her mother reacted to the sight before her…her hand raising quickly to cover her mouth in an effort to hide her gasp of shock.
"Oh baby…" Tina rushed to her daughter’s side. "What are you doing?"
Angelica stared back at her mother and whispered through tears, "I just wanted to look like you."
"Oh God!" Tina’s own tears began to fall as she reached out and with only her fingers tried to wipe off the cream colored make-up that caked Angelica’s face…streaks caused by the little girls tears betraying the true color that lay underneath.
In a determined attempt to look like her pretty, white skinned, blonde mother, Angelica had raided Tina’s make-up drawer with the failed results now staring back at both mother and daughter. Tina felt panic explode in her chest as she grabbed a near by t-shirt, desperately trying to wipe off the light color.
"Oh baby…why?"
"Ow!"
In her rush to remove as much of the make-up as quickly as possible, Tina was pressing down too hard against Angelica, causing the little girls head to be forced back.
"I didn’t mean to make you mad," Angelica hiccuped through her confused tears. "I just wanted to look like you mom." Watching her mother’s reflection in the mirror Angelica thought she had done something really bad. Reaching up, she tried once again to get her defiant hair to lay down flat. However, after dousing her hair with a liberal amount of Tina’s hair gel, it was standing straight up, and was rigid to the touch.

Aww Poor Angelica. I look forward to see where you take this story.
azmama says
I really like this beginning. I take it that B & T are not together and that Bette may not be a part of Angie’s life. Or that Angie is ashamed of looking more like B than T, eh? Sea….In your hands, this story can only soar. PPS.
Lamentamini says

funnyone says
Sounds to me like Tina’s been negligent. Guess this is another story where others have to pay for her issues.
mc says
Love that you are rising to this challenge – it’s great to have your voice and another story by you as season 4 starts.
smiley says
Oh seahurst, it is so good to see that you have posted and what a post it is. You always manage to tug my heart strings whether to be sad or happy! Post soon!
miamigrl says
WELCOME BACK SEA! I’m sad to see Angie like this and worst of all it seems like Bette may not be a part of her life. Angie needs her Mama B right about now. I’m happy for Kit! Grammy….yeah!
skycaptain says
Poor Angie…Poor Bette…to be seperated and not in each other’s lives. Will Angelica see Bette on the Grammy Awards and get curious. I am curious now…please post soon. It’s a good day when you write Seahurst. Thank you.
allyemmerson says
anything that has the great Pam with any one but wimp angus is cool by me – love it as ever
Skipton says
interesting start, Sea- looking forward to seeing where you take this.
coop says
Poor Angie. I do believe its time she met her mama B.
robbeedee says
Hi Seahurst. Fantastic to have you back posting and a new story. The powers that be do answer some prayers then. Am jumping with joy at your return. Big question is whether or not Bette and Tina are together in any way shape or form. It does read like they aren’t but as the hopeful romantic I am, I want this story to recify this tragedy. I love your wonderful blend of humor and pathos as Tina tries to comfort her child while explaining their physical differences. Kit’s news was phenomenal and even more so as she spread it across the family. Can’t wait to see where this journey leads but my bags are packed and ready to go. Thank you so much for an interesting beginning. Your Loyal Fan.
Mad Maggot says
Wonderful new beginning, Seahurst! Looking forward to seeing where this leads next.
anker says
A VERY promising start, Seahurst… poor Angel, she feels like she doesn’t belong… Please continue so we can learn why she has to feel this way… where is her other mom?
BBR3 says
I have been waiting for you to write something. You are so talented and I can’t wait to read anything you write. This story is going to be as good as everything else you have written.pps
zabo says
This is great!!! And seems like Angie’s love for Kit Porter’s music will build the bridge for her mothers heh? ;) PPS
AmandaMG says
Sea… its always a pleasure seeing you name on a story….i’m so glad you writing again… and it looks like another winner… i hope bette and tina can find what they gave up… each other… PPS
justloveB+T says
O.o WOW! :D Im so glad you’re in this with me, sea! I have to say I was a little bit afraid noone would wanna join me… There are so many stories to be told, and one scenario can lead to thousands of different stories! I allready know Im going to love this one… Heartbreaking: Angelica and the make-up. Heartjumping: Kit asking Bette for the award… Now I wonder… Is there a Henry? Thanks for this amazing start! And thanks so much joining me :)
GiselleSanders69 says
When Janet emailed me this am, to tell me that you’d posted, I came to read as quickly as possible, wonderfully written as always. Kudos
ks19 says
Poor Angelica :( She needs Bette in her life so that she can help her with the biracial thing. Hope she comes in the picture soon. Great start, PPS.
Keisha says
excellent! write another soon
fergz1 says
I feel bad for Angelica…sounds like she has been out of Bette’s life. Seahurst..it is wonderful to see you post and can’t wait for more of this story..I will continue to pray for Snow in Seattle. : )
Probie says
Another story by Seahurst!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are one of my most favorite writers. I will read anything you write even if it makes me cry and I don’t cry easy (but you manage to make a big cry baby out of me). This is a great start and I feel for Angie. As you may know, the color of skin in the African-American community has always had it own issues (light vs dark) and that with two African-American parents. I’m sure being bi-racial and living with only one predominant image can have its own issues to be addressed. Looking forward to see where you go with this.
prasnil says
Sea, glad to see you post. Seems like the beginning to another of your masterpieces! pls continue…
Linbooks says
So glad to see that you are writing for us again. I’ve often thought about the longterm effect on Angelica if Tina chose to renege on her promise to Bette. I am happy to see this theme explored in your story. Thanks. Lin
bettyvhall says
Poor baby, Tina needs to do some tall talking or get Bette back into that babys life. thanks
wildtouch says
OOOOO……TBC VERY QUICKLY!!!!
pam336 says
Great to see that you shared your awesome writing talents with us again.
pattifloatn says
Do I hear some regret coming from Tina? Does she somewhere in her heart harbor some sort of love for Angelica’s other mother Bette? I can’t wait to read what is going to happen next. I would find it interesting to read how Tina takes the viewing of her once wife and lover on the tv screen while they sat and watched Angelica’s favorite singer receive her Grammy.
mette hartmann says
SO great to see a new story from your hand. Obviously Bette is not a part of Tinas and Angelicas life anymore. Can´t wait to see how that came about.
ut says
Oh poor Angie, sad to see her like this, I guess she not know Bette and B&T are not together, now let see how Tina explain this to Angie. Happy for Kit. OK post soon please, thanks!
gogk says
Angelica almost make me cry when she tried to be the same colour of her mom, is so nice to read another post from you.
Massmom says
I’m always happy to see some new writing from you. You’ve left us with some intriguing possibilities here, so I encourage you (strongly) to continue!
Rau says
Great Angie and Tina will see Bette and Aunt Kit on tele or at the actual awards…????
tibettenation1 says
Wow so sad for that poor baby to feel that way. Parents should think more about their children feelings before they go making life decisions…if she would just kept Bette around Angie wouldn’t be putting makeup on smh
