Tina checked herself in the mirror one more time. She’d chosen a sundress for the afternoon. Something colorful, that fell in between ‘too formal’ and ‘too dressy.’ In the mirror she could see Angelica joining her, the girl holding out the skirt on her own colorful summery dress.
“I think we look pretty fancy? What do you think?”
“Momma’s pretty.”
The simple declaration made Tina smile. She picked up the girl and gave her a kiss. “Angie’s the prettiest.”
“Yes,” the girl said, shaking her head in agreement.
Still holding on to her daughter, Tina grabbed her purse plus a bag with a few things for her daughter and made sure she had her room key. “It’s time to go, sweetie.”
She knew that the words were more for herself than for the girl. So far Angelica had taken most of this trip in stride. She’d been relatively good at meeting all of the new people, the new food, all the changes from her normal routine.
One of Tina’s biggest concerns was how her recently potty-trained daughter would handle some of these changes. So far, and in this Tina knew she was fortunate, that had not been an issue. Of course, convincing Angelica to don pull-ups for the day of the flight had no doubt been a help.
The tea was being held on an outside patio at the hotel. Getting out of the elevator on the first floor, Tina put Angelica down and held the girl’s hand as the two of them walked in the direction of the event. Tina knew that this was, in essence, a delaying tactic. But the time spent walking towards the gathering let her collect her thoughts and relax.
She knew keeping herself calm was important, not just for her own sake but for her sister’s, and her daughter’s.
Entering the patio area, Tina skirted the edge of the crowd. That only worked for so long, though, as a loud “Oh my God!” sounded through the crowd.
Looking towards the source of the exclamation, Tina saw her baby sister, the bride, heading in her direction.
Stephanie threw her arms around her sister and squealed again. “You’re here. You made it.”

I’m loving this story but where’s Bette. Is she going to make an unexpected visit? Are they still together? PPS>
I like the tension but I have to admit I am hoping that ALPHA Bette will soon be flying in to the rescue:-)PPS
I agree that bette needs to show up and claim her woman and get away from jodie! also i’m in awe of how well you have tina written given the stress of the situation.. she went by her self with a 3 year old angie to this southern hick town wedding… want to know what is going with mandy…. and her questions? nice update :)
loving it, pps. i wish bette would show up but i think litte bette is doing a good job
Not liking Tina’s parental unit. But then I suppose that’s the point. We can’t all have positive supportive families, now can we? I am a lone voice in the wilderness thankful that there’s no Bette so far. Lets Tina shine, instead of always being in a shadow. Thanks!
”someone who had just swallowed a bug” – LOL – You know, Angie might be very impressed by a grandma who could swallow a bug. _ ;-)
I love this story, but I’m hoping the only reason Bette isn’t there is to keep the peace so to speak….not wanting Tina’s nasty mother to have a total cow and make a scene or something. Please tell me B & T are back together and Tina wanted to do this alone. Maybe Bette’s coming afterward for a little vacation in the country?? PPS
where is Bette, if they were still together wouldn’t Bette call at night or so????
Where to begin…I am still chuckling over Steph’s pocket-sized Porter comment…Tina’s Mom is a piece of work and I loved Angie’s response to her…Miss Mandy seems to have something on her mind, I hope Tina can get an uninterrupted moment with her…And you so know that Angelica is going to be the cutest flowergirl ever. I am so excited to see the next chapter.
great story so far. gotta agree with JKS on the bette note, let Tina have her time for now.i seem to be getting a bit of racist vibe from the mother at this time (referring to the part about the “extent of you embarrassments” line).would that be correct or is she just being a shit because Tina’s gay?let’s just hope that angie really has the combined Kennard/Porter charm to win everyone over!!keep up the great work.x.x.
Hey Pseud: this is really working very well. I like that its different and showing what, for some folks, is a reality in their lives; not everyone has the support of their family of origin. And your Tina and Angelica are just perfect. Thanks for this story. Lin
I’m loving this Pseud, it feels very different than any of the other B/T/A stories. Although my heart is dreading it, I fear Bette is not coming to the rescue here – after Angie mentioned Momma B and the manners Tina’s comment suggested to me they are not a happy family. Can’t wait for the updates. And, as stressful as life can be – rest assured that your writing is also the source of much ‘de-stressing’ for us!
Momma B so needs to show up.
I really felt the awkwardness. Good storytelling. PPS.
Thoroughly enjoyed the update. I sense some drama coming from Tina’s Momma.
Because its her sister wedding, Tina will take a lotIf I wae her mother I would walk sofely,Tina doe carry a big stick when it comes to Angie. The mime Porter will win the heart of the hardest one,except the Mother. Thank goodness Tina is a Lady which some of her family isn’t thanks
I wonder why people can’t see past the colour of Angel’s skin to notice that she resembles Tina…or even Marcus???? I’ve seen this written several times in stories that she looks like Porter, how can she if she doesn’t have her genes? so it must only be the colour and the hair. It’s just an observation because I have a son with an ex. She is the biological parent & my cousin was the donor but I’d never expect people to say my/our son looks like me. In a way it’s kinda like saying ‘all coloured/black people look alike’ which of course we don’t if u look properly.Otherwise I’m enjoying the mystery of the story.
This is so interesting. Tina going back home and facing a mother who does not even care that she is alive. I can sort of understand how she is acting towards Tina but not her own granddaughter Angelica. Angie is a hoot as most 2 or 3 year olds are.
Great, This was just great. I love Tina, I mean she is being really, really strong and she is showing confidence, and angie sooooo cute. And I think that Bette’s part, can wait.
My heart sank when Tina’s mother referred to Angie as an ’embarrassment’. Sad to think there are still people out there like that. Great story. I’m hoping its post season five and Bette comes out there and the Portard clan really embarrasses Tina’s mom :)
This is a very interesting story. I like how Angie laughs and answers with a “no” on most odd questions. lol
Well, I for one am hoping that Bette will be in this story….with Tina at some point soon. Great update pseud!
I felt the chill from Mrs Kennard, will her polar ice caps melt or will she still be cold as ice..interesting spin on your story. Thank you
I’m with swimmie. I love that this story is focused on Tina. Love the tension, the pain, the exploration of her family background … wonder what bug is up Grandma Kennard’s butt? Can’t wait to read more! Oh, and “Pocket Porter” … LMAO!
I’m very much enjoying the story. Love Tina…she is there for her sister and more than capable of handling her mother. Thanks for the post.
This story is sooooo good! We love the interaction between T and Angie. Too bad T’s mom is missing the blessing of having a grandchild. Yep. There’s still a lot of short minded people in this world. Angie’s response to T’s mom was perfect. We like your strong and sweet Tina. She is very real, through your exquisite dialogue. Thanks for the update. It was just AWSOME.

what the hell cant we all get along??? ive got family drama akin to this. and its just no fun. and i like fun. so tomorrow should be very interesting. do you love your daughter so much that you stay at her wedding even if your lezzie daughter/bi racial granddaughter is in the wedding, hmmmm…. this should be fun. thx
Good chapter, Angie is so cute, say no to anything lol!
