Tina walked into the Planet, and ordered a latte. While waiting, she looked around for either Kit or Angus. Seeing neither, she walked back towards the office and knocked on the door.
“C’mon in.” Came the response, muffled by the door.
Tina walked into the office. “Hey, Kit.”
From her spot behind the desk, Kit turned to look at Tina. “Hey, yourself. What’s up?”
“Just seeing if Angus and my child might be around somewhere.”
“Angus was taking mon Ange to the playground. They should be back shortly.”
“Oh, okay.” Tina considered what she should do next. It appeared Kit was working, so she turned to leave.
“No time to talk.”
“Sure,” she responded, giving her friend a smile. Then she took a seat on the couch, placing the drink on an end table. “How’s everything.”
“Good. Except, I’m wondering something.”
“Oh?”
“I’m wondering why my sister’s working on a weekend, and getting Angus to take Angelica to the park and do the baby exchange.”
“Yeah. I was wondering that myself,” Tina admitted.
“You know what’s up with her?”
“Well, besides the fact that I think she’s hiding from me.”
“Oh, that’s it.” Facing Tina, Kit crossed her legs, and then leaned forward, resting her crossed arms across her knees. “I knew something was up.”
“Because?”
“You mean other than dumping Miss Thing in New York, and then spending an awful lot of nights with her ex.”
“We were trying to work thing out, I thought.”
“Uh huh.” Kit leaned back. “Then what’d ya do.”
Tina smiled. Kit’s knowledge of Bette’s personality was nearly as good as her own. She didn’t take the comment as an accusation, as it might have sounded coming from some. “I told her what I wanted for the future.”
“Which is not what she wanted?”
“Which,” Tina clasped her hands together, coming up with a way to phrase this. “Which I think is what she wants, but which was not her idea.”
“When’s my baby sister going to stop trying to control the universe?”
“Probably never.” Tina delivered the statement matter-of-factly, and then she and Kit both shared a laugh. “Despite her reaction, I think we’re really not that far apart on things.”
“So she’s sulking.”
“I think so.” Tina grabbed her drink and took a few sips. “Anyway, whatever she’s doing, she hasn’t been talking much to me about it.”
“She’s been staying away from me, too.”
“How is everything, Kit? I know it’s been rough for you lately.”
“It’s been.” Kit threw her arms up in the air and blew out a big breath. “Whatever. It’s been better, but I think it’s getting there.”
“I’m sorry, you know, about all that happened.”
“I know you understand.” The older woman gave a sad smile. “But I also know, as you do, that we’re strong enough to move past.”
“For a long time I didn’t think I was, either strong enough or able to move past.” Tina gave a shrug. “I guess I’m changing that opinion of myself.”
“Now, if you can just change my sister’s mind.”
“I don’t think she needs changing. She just needs to think that she’s in control.”
“You going to give her that?”
“As long as she can understand what’s important to me, yeah, I will.”
“Well then more power to you, Tina. I hope you guys can figure it out this time.”
“So do I, Kit. So do I.”

Sounds like you’re not the only one on a crazy cusp.
Everyone’s catching that crazy bug. Good update. Please continue soon.
Seems like interest in this story might be waning; perhaps crazy time is my life’s way of telling me it’s time to take a break from writing.
NOOOOOOOOO DON’T TAKE A BREAK ON WRITING!!!!! I love this story! I’m always looking for an update. Please post again or at least when you can. :O)
Interest in this story is not waning. Please, now that Tina has Bette over a barrel, don’t stop! Thanks!
A good Tibette story is a joy forever, babybox and all.
I look fwd to seeing updates every day. Hope u can post often! love this story btw!
pseud, do.not.take.a.break. I’ve gotten used to you posting again and I really don’t want to have to adjust. : )
Good luck with the real life stuff. I don’t think interest is waning. Some people just silently read unless they are super happy.. or super pissed about something. When things are just plotting along they let them go but still read. Glad that Tina talked to Kit. Probably the two women who know Bette best. Hopefully Bette stops acting like a child. She shouldn’t pass the drop off of Angelica off onto someone else if she is uncomfortable with the progress she is making or not making with Tina. I mean, if they are going to try anything they need to make sure they are still able to deal with Angelica’s normal routine stuff together even if they crash and burn. Keep up the good work. And write when you can.
there’s no rest for the wicked LOL so you better not stop writing because i agree with techgal: a good Tibette story is a joy and yours is really really good ;)
Interesting that Bette talks to Alice and Tina to Kit, I wonder how that conversations would have differed if Tina had talk to Alice…and I like what techgal said about Tina having Bette over the barrel. She so does, you know that another baby is exactly what Bette wants, but since she didn’t come up with the idea first, she is unreasonably mad. Thanks for the post, looking forward to the next update.
i love this damned story…bette sulking huh and tina’s in charge …way 2 go…more
absolutely NO waning interest. just many faithful fans also on the crazy edge. your series completely makes my day, night, everything! 8 a.m. sunday morning (for me) and first thing i did was put aside all craziness and check to see if you’d posted! you paint the perfect picture with each installment; just enough to set the scene for the next, just enough to keep us hanging on the edge of our seats. please post as soon as you can! thanks!
Waning? NEVER.
Nuh-uh! *shakes head* My interest hasn’t waned a bit. It’s waxing, pseud. Waxing! So please don’t let crazy time tell you anything else — I’ll always want more of this story. It’s funny that Tina’s willing to let Bette have the illusion of being in control, as long as Tina’s getting what she wants. It’s an easy concession to make. Subtle, T. Thanks for posting, pseud, write when you can and I’ll be reading.
My interest isn’t waning one bit and I continue to love this story. There are a handful of writers on this site, including you, that can write absolutely anything and I’ll continue to read. Thanks for sharing this story.
It’s not waning, more like wanting and waiting eagerly for your next post.
Pseud – If craziness must keep you from us then that’s life but if you think for one minute I don’t hang on your every post you are seriously mistaken. This story and the way you write dialogue and convey everything about the characters personalities and thinking through conversation is AWESOME and it is so great to read your stories. Waning shmaning – post on woman!
I love this story. I look for it everyday. I don’t comment much but please please continue.
I don’t always comment, but I’m always waiting on the next “Time”, I’ve followed your stories since “Plan B” I love your “Tibette” stories….. Please continue!!!!!
Wonderful. Bette really does need to think she has some control over having a baby again and I’m glad that Tina knows this. I enjoyed the conversation between Kit and Tina. Thanks for posting and I hope you enjoy your time off.
Please know that your story is one of my favourites, so interest in this story is not waning. I’m always happy to read any update you can give us. Please continue. Thanks.
Good chapter!
