Tina sat on the edge of the bed and watched Bette change into casual clothes from her work attire.
"Fuck you have a beautiful body," Tina commented.
"Angie’s coming home any minute," Bette chastised.
"I know," Tina said. "It was a simple observation. I’m not trying to start anything. That’ll be later."
"A re-awakened sex drive is a good thing. Glad I could be of assistance."
They reluctantly left the bedroom to re-establish a picture of innocence for Angie’s arrival.
Chapter 23
Bette and Tina were sitting in the living room looking through one of Angie’s baby albums when they saw a shadow move onto the front step. They assumed Angie was home, but then instead of her walking in, there was a knock.
Bette rose to get the door.
"What a nice surprise Dana," Bette said. "Come on in…"
Bette backed up to allow Dana inside.
"Hey Tina," Dana said, somewhat taken aback at her presence as she stepped over the threshold. "I was doing a private coaching session out here and thought I’d stop by and say hi."
She glanced back and forth between them. She hoped she hadn’t interrupted some co-parenting debacle. It seemed as though Angie was the only reason they came together anymore.
"We’re looking at old pictures," Tina smiled and flipped another page in the photo album. "I can’t believe she’s already eight years old."
"Can you stay for tea?" Bette offered. "I was just about to put on a kettle for us."
"Sure if it’s not too much trouble," Dana said. She nodded back over her shoulder. "Did you get a new car Tina?"
"Ah, no, there’s a story behind that," Tina said, laughing. "Mine’s the Prius. Bette’s driving the Mercedes. Her car got stolen."
"Wow, seriously?" Dana said following Tina’s wordless invitation to take a seat. This felt weird. Like being transported back in time. She didn’t know what to make of what she had walked in on. "Do the police think there’s any chance it’ll be found?"
Bette went to the kitchen while Tina abbreviated the re-telling of the story about the car formerly known as Bette’s BMW. She declined to include that she came across the accident that destroyed the car, because she still expected her reaction to be too emotional.

Oh, that was pretty good. I like Dana’s reaction. Thanks for the chapter.
Dana was too cute.
Oh, Alice is not going to like being the last to know… but she’ll be pleased for her friends. First world or third world, we all have disappointments and things that make life harder… I just try to count my blessings. Anyway, thanks for the post.
Dana is not as clueless or naive as she makes herself out to be. Funny…Mom, how’s your toe? ;-)
Thank you… Most excellent update. Way to go Dana. I always felt that Dana had a lot more to her than given credit for.
Ha!! Love how Angie let the cat out of the bag so to speak. Too funny! Can’t wait to see what they do to Alice.
lol love the idea of Alice the last to know, gonna be fun to see her reaction :)
“…as they sat side by side looking guilty yet also oddly smug.” Great description!! :) I can see the smiles!
i loved dana… one of the biggest mistakes they made thye wrote her off the show… love this…pps
In the words of Madeleine L’Engle “a good laugh heals a lot of hurts”. Glad it helped put you in a better frame of mind to bring us this newest chapter :) Losing those you love (and I do include pets) is never easy. My sincerest sympathies to you and your friend. I’m glad he has someone like you for support and comfort. Here’s to better days! … and thanks again for continuing this most enjoyable story.
Oh, Angie is simply adorable in this story. =) I bet she’ll freak out and probably swear too when she’s grown up and finally figures out the real story behind her Mommy’s sunrise yells and swearing. What a funny and embarrassing scene, jks! It took a while for Dana to do the math but her reaction was priceless. It made me miss Dana’s adorable goofiness in Season 1. She’s one of my fave characters too, jks. I can’t wait to see how the loved up couple finally breaks the good news to their daughter. I’m sure Angie will have some interesting questions. ;>Thanks a bunch again, jks! Write on please! Cheers! =)
That was just brilliant. Thank you
I love when Alice is the last to know… it knocks her down a peg or two.
