    A Choice Is Made Chapter 53

    Mandy: Oh I’ve seen those on Angelica. If you use those too that would be just wrong.

    Bette: Hey all is fair in Love and Basketball.

    Mandy: You probably don’t want to try that line again. I’ll let you get back to work.

    Bette and Mandy actually get quite a bit done and Mandy is left with a pile of follow ups for Monday. Bette has a few items to review on the train ride and then it was off for another three day weekend. There was definite chaos at Penn Station, but Bette grabbed a Starbucks for the ride and planned to focus on her work until she could be with her family again.

    Friday morning in Montauk

    Tina and Angelica were meeting Amy and Bethany at South Lake Beach on Montauk. Orville has given her great directions to the beach. Tina expected to stay out until about 1pm and had packed lunch and snacks. She met Amy in the parking lot.

    Amy: Well Good morning to you both.

    Tina: Hi, thanks for waiting.

    Amy: Well we just arrived and it takes a minute to load up the stroller. Ron decided we were better off bringing our own umbrella then renting one each time.

    Tina: He’s right, besides you can customize yours to make it easy to spot in the sea of rental umbrellas.

    Bethany: Hi.

    Angelica: Hi. Mommy swing?

    Tina: No baby we’re going to the beach so you can play in the sand and have some fun in the water. Don’t you want to make a sand castle with your friend Bethany?

    Angelica: Momma help?

    Tina: Momma isn’t here today, but she’ll come tonight and she’ll play with you later, OK?

    Angelica: No Momma help! I want Momma!

    Angelica is having a meltdown. This catches Tina completely by surprise.

    Tina: I’m sorry this is the first time she’s ever done this. She does usually build her sandcastles with Bette, but she’s done that with just me too.

    Amy: They have their quirks. We’ll go set up the umbrella; just come over when she’s ready.

    Tina: I think Bethany is a little sad. She came to the beach to play with you. Don’t you want to play with Bethany?

    Angelica: Miss Momma. Want play wif Momma and Befanny.

    1. Happy to see this update. They are all making the adujustment so well to Tina being home full time. Bit surprised at Angies’ meltdown. Hopefully a great weekend for them. Thanks for posting.

    2. Angie having a meltdown, how Bette of her!!!!!! Hmmmmm, homemade dinner, lucky Bette. That sushi dinner with Peggy sounded good too. Great update. PPS

    3. So..you see life and work doesn’t just get in the way for writers’ it gets in the way for us readers too! Never mind, I loved your updates and I’m caught up now. Wonderful writing and this makes 53 chapters of a happy Bette and Tina, without a smidgeon of drama in any of them…and we are all still here! Good going Lwsho.

    4. This was very sweet. I still love Mama Peabody… I wish I had one like that. Hmmm, Angie’s tantrum makes me think someone might be getting sick. I hope not, but I always wanted the parent that wasn’t around when I wasn’t feeling great. I guess I figured they’d make me feel better. Or maybe it was just a sign of the closeness between B and A. Either way, thank you! Loved the length, too :)
