Angie: Yeah, you do that. Take care of our moms and of Mary and Margaret.
Daniel: Have a good trip back to Yale and we’ll talk later in the week.
Angie: I love you Daniel… take care.
They hugged and Daniel quickly left his sister with his moms. Bette then took Angie in her arms.
Bette: Angie, we are so proud of you and we love you so much. We have enjoyed you being home this week and we look forward to the Christmas holidays. If you need anything, let us know, okay?
Angie: I think I have all I need right now. I am very comfortable at school. Oh, and I love my room here in Santa Monica. This house really feels like home. I love you mom. Take care of yourself and Mama T and Daniel and Mary and Margaret. Try not to increase the family for a while. We may run out of bedrooms.
Bette: Well, we are enjoying the family as it stands and we have no intentions of expanding our membership. But if we do, we will let know. I love Angie. You take care of yourself.
Bette backed away and allowed Tina to hug her daughter. She did her traditional rock with her child.
Tina: I have so enjoyed this week with you Angie. You are an amazing young woman. Study hard, have fun and we will see you in a couple of weeks. We love you Boo… and we are going to miss seeing your smiling face.
Angie (with tears streaming down her cheeks): I going to miss you guys too. I love you all so much.
Tina: Yeah, we know. But you are where you need to be. Make the best of this opportunity. You only get one shot at it…. Make it count. We love you. Call us when you can. Take care of yourself.
The car arrived and the driver was putting the luggage and the box into the trunk and verifying that Suzanne and Angie were going to LAX, the private terminal. Angie went and joined Suzanne in the car and waved at the family bye. They were all standing in the drive way waving and smiling as they drove down the road.
Bette: Okay, I’m going to take a nap. Then I’m going to finish grading my term papers, fix some dinner and enjoy our Sunday evening.

I’m enjoying this story soooo much…Thank you…Are you taking us to Yellowstone and Scotland with the family?
I have not written that yet…. but I am thinking about it. It may take a few months…
Thanks for reading and commenting. I enjoyed creating these characters and enriching Bette and Tina’s life with a little more dimension than the conflict and drama which the L Word and Gen Q presented. Life is really full of drama… but there is joy and times where you just want to enjoy your family and those you love. Maybe I have put forth a Bette and Tina who live a more idealistic life than real people. But I need some people in my life in which the universe blesses them with good fortune, success, companionship and love. And that makes me happy.
The next chapter is the final episode for this series. If I write more of this Bette & Tina and family, it will be a new series. I would like to… but I do not know if I have enough story in me to continue… but we will see. Thank you…
I sure hope you write another series. Your stories are quite enjoyable. I’d love to see what happens with Tina’s painting career.
Thank you… Tina’s painting career? I have a couple of thoughts about Tina’s painting career but they have not jelled yet. I am thinking that she might go into private commission work rather than producing for commercial purposes. Tina does not need the commercial success, but the personal satisfaction of producing something people love and want in their lives. I think she also wants to control her time and pressures to produce that comes with being in the art markets. My Tina has just begun to tap into her talent as an artist. But as in any profession, it can rob you of your personal life if you allow it to.
I do think that getting Tina a studio which was separate from their home was a meaningful decision made by Bette and Tina. It fills so many of Tina’s needs – time for privacy and to separate her professional life from her family life. And the fact that its only 10 minutes from home makes think very convenient. Personally, I feel this revamping of their life and moving back to Los Angeles has been one of the best decision this couple has ever made. I believe this puts them into a perfect glide path into retirement, being grandparents and whatever.
Thanks for reading…
I think I have gotten a bit spoiled by your longer chapters, but this one was lovely as well. I have a feeling that great minds think alike and Mary will come up with a scheme as well as Bette and Tina to help Suzanne get through school as comfortably as possible. Since they can see that she is not a moocher and wants to work for what she gets they don’t feel bad about secretly giving her a hand. Post as soon as you can.
Thanks for reading… I will probably post on Friday… You know, there are days in Bette and Tina’s life which are meaningful but just not as full of activities as others. I felt this was a day that the family would retreat into their individual rooms to regroup for the up coming week.
Suzanne will never know that her additional aid is coming from Bette & Tina. Neither will Angie. Suzanne will get the funds and have full discretion on what she does with the money. I think it is important to both Angie and Suzanne never to know where the money is from. That way, the source of the funds will never influence either of their decisions relating to their relationship with each other or their relationship with Bette & Tina. As to Mary? I have a little something instore for Mary in the next chapter.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
