“Bette?” Alice was shocked at the appearance of her friend. “What the hell is going on? You look like you lost about ten pounds. What do you want to weigh, nothing?”
Bette gave her a warning look. “Watch your language Alice.”
“I’m just saying.” Alice trailed off shaking her head. “Intervention?” She looked at Tina.
“How about loving support. I think we have enough to go around.”
They all nodded.
“Let’s eat. I didn’t slave over a hot stove for the food to get cold.” Tina steered them to the nook.
They all took seats and filled themselves on the hearty breakfast that Tina had prepared. Bette took a small helping of everything and still her plate was only half filled. Alice opened her mouth to protest but Tina threw her a warning glance not to press her just yet.
“I forgot the fruit salad and yogurt.” Tina started to get up but Bette stopped her. Tina smiled behind her hand as she saw a flicker of anticipation cross Bette’s face. Bette was a sucker for fruits and yogurt.
“I’ll get it.” Bette returned promptly with the treasures and proceeded to take a large helping of both before passing them along the table.
Once they were finished breakfast Tina got Angelica ready for her play date with Julie and Stephanie. Angelica at first protested, as she was uncomfortable leaving Mama.
Tina seeing right through her said “Angie, I’ll stay with Mama until you get back. I’m sure your Aunts will be here for a while as well. Why don’t you ask Stephanie and Julie’s Moms to call me and they can come over for dinner?”
“Thanks, Mom.” Angelica reassured was now ready to race off. “Not so fast.” Tina reined her in. “Do you have your bathing suit, your sunscreen, that new water toy you had to have?”
“Oops.” Angelica now raced to her room to gather her things.
Once Angelica left the crew moved to the family room.
Kit began the conversation that needed to be had. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that you are not doing well Baby Sis. How can we help?”

Lots of love right there in that kitchen right now amongst that group of friends…it’s like it’s always been there and always will be…no matter what they did on the show…you capture it so well.
Thanks for acknowledging & asking…imo, u r doing well and so is Tina altho the big breakfast would be too much for me the idea of company and Bette’s fav fruits was wonderful…what should Tina do? Great idea to share Bette with the friends, family & Angie, don’t wanna pressure Bette into getting over her grief too quickly or trying to hide it for her f/f/d’s sake…let her talk about the good times & let her cry/talk about her loss…let her be alone but not too much or too long,…maybe she does need to get away from the house she & Rosanna shared, too many memories there…Perhaps T could take time off work and take Bette and Angie for a short break away somewhere new to make new memories…let her slowly come back to life and seeing the beauty of life which she probably doesn’t at the moment…be there for her…don’t jump into sex because Rosanna will be there for a long time…show Bette how mature, loving & kind Tina really is and aim in the long term for restoring their family i.e. Tina, Bette, Angie & the new baby which should be a boy to make up for the one they lost…Lmao at my last suggestion-u know I’m a diehard TiBetter right? and finally love her Tina, love her like u never have b4!!!!! cuz if Bette dies I’m coming after u 4 ‘negligence’!!!!!! And don’t let Angie be burdened with caregiving, slowly wean her back to life also. Great writing as always my friend, this is truly a story where I’m looking for an update every day…
Damn right she’s not going anywhere! Her friends and family will help her get back on her feet, she just needs to let them. Great writing! PPS!!
Too right… Thank goodness she’s got her family there, cos Bette’s in no fit shape to be on her own, even with Angie around. Well done, kel, post soon.
Hey K, yes I’m back and loving your new story. I love that you had this conversation in the kitchen since so many wonderful conversations between women always take place in kitchens. This should be very interesting with all the girls living together. I hope it helps since Bette hasn’t been able to enjoy her pregnancy, and never got to really enjoy any of Tina’s. She always seems to miss the joy accompanying pregnancy. Can’t believe you had Alice debating Naruto, since that’s all I ever hear my boys talking about or playing some Naruto video game. Can’t even get away from it in ff land (lol).
uh btw, i did say ‘waiting patiently’, lmao, don’t want to rush you off your feet or anything…very poignant storytelling, love it.
Too bad cold fish IC doesn’t have a knack for tender, moving scenes like that one; beautifully done, kelika. I was a Rosanna fan, but I have to say your Tina’s a sweetheart, not to mention a smart cookie for excluding the stress-inducing Jenny from the breakfast and upcoming exercise in communal living. PPS.
The family sticks together again. It is good to see them rally around Bette in her time of need.
Thank you for the poem, always enjoy Maya Angelou. I didn’t mean to come off as flippant with regards to the love that remains between them. Unfortunately, I know from experience that you can’t change your heart regardless of circumstances… believe me I’ve tried. I just meant that their relationship would more likely remain one of a loving friendship. Your stories evoke such emotion and introspection…I just love them. By the way, has our lovely Tina remained unattached for these years??
Oh damn this is good!
Damn, you touched a nerve with me then! :P
See Tina can be all Alpha when necessary! Love how she is taking control and sorting Bette out…
