“You’re dropping her off at seven on Thursday right?”
“Yes.”
“Please don’t forget to bring her sandals.”
“The red ones?”
“Exactly,” came a clear confirmation. “For this weekend.”
Tina raised her eyebrows, quite clueless.
“Disneyland. Kit.” A pause. “Remember?”
“Oh right.” She scolded herself for the lapse in memory. “Are you going with them?”
“I had planned to. Believe me, I would have preferred to wake up before the sun to make Kit – who wants to open up the place with the staff – happy but I think I’ll leave my lovely sister to enjoy the joys of that particular experience. Instead I actually have the next Thursday and Friday with Angie off and plan to do something with her then.” They alternated weekends caring for their daughter.
“I get to spend four whole days with Angie. I can’t wait. No daycare, no babysitter. Just her and me. I promised we would go to the park for as long as she wants.”
Bette looked into the distance with a satisfied grin, as if it were already a couple of weeks into the future. “You know how she loves the swing.”
Her birth mother smiled too. “Hours if you let her.”
“Anyway…they should be back by one. Are you sure you don’t want me to just drop her off at your place after?”
“No I have to go check something out for the shoot.”
“Working on a weekend?”
Tina eyed her with a serious glint. Inquiring silently if she had forgotten all the weekends she herself spent holed up in the gallery – proprietary or not – while the hours came and went between the end and start of another work week.
“Right.” Bette pressed her lips together before making that concession.
“Well give me until two and she’ll be ready for you. Or you could spend a couple of hours in the water before you head home.”
“Okay.” Tina was staring at Bette. “I’ll think about it.”
“Kit’s going to get a handful of Angie over the next week and a half,” Tina reflected. “Wednesday night too for Jenny’s thing for the cast and crew.”
“Don’t worry, she really loves the time with her.”
They found each other’s gaze to share a humble moment. What a gift they had. One that bound them together until the end of time. Not just to each other but also to everyone else that mattered in their circle.

I loved it, timeline or no timeline.
Just as the first time you presented this story, I felt that you had a better handle on Tibette than the writers of the show. They need to take a refresher course taught by you.
Even better the second time around!!!! :)
Thanks for reposting the story in its entirety. I enjoy your approach to the characters and the explanation of motive is often what we don’t see. Thanks for writing, and I hope you have time to share more soon.
i love how you’ve put all the chapters together. it does give a better sense of continuity. and also gives me another reason to read it again (and again).
”…the timeline is not perfect. ” Never worry about that, lwordid. (*my feeling is that anyone who watches tlw has already been innoculated against timeline detail frets. ;-) _ thanks for writing!
aww…loved it and i read the whole thing again, it worked better this way :)
simply lovely……great “stolen” line too! thx for this :-)
12 pages and still not enough! Thanks for putting all the chapters together and allowing your readers to enjoy this story in its entirety. Great stuff, as usual. Thanks for this.
