Angelica Porter-Kennard Chapter 8
Angelica Porter-Kennard had been thinking about her parents, Bette Porter and Tina Kennard while waiting for her ride. She had been struggling with the news of her Mama T’s engagement ever since she had been told about it several weeks ago. Angie didn’t react in the best way when her mothers’ sat her down during her Mama T’s last visit to tell her the news. This announcement had been so unexpected and in her eyes the worst timing. Running upstairs to her room and slamming the door was probably not the best response. Then glossing over the issue at dinner really didn’t help either, Angie thought. She just could not understand how things got this way. Her Mama T had said she left because she needed to find herself. Angie had told her mom that she understood, but she really didn’t. Her mother’s odd behavior at dinner when Angie had brought up the interruptions that often occur when she is having dinner with her Mama B caused even more confusion. Angie recalled how odd her Mama T looked during this part of the conversation and how she noticeably turned red. Her mother excused herself and returned a few minutes later acting very different the rest of the evening. Angie had called her Mama T in Toronto and asked her to come after the pushing incident between Mama B and Mr. Adams at her school. She felt her Mama B needed the support due to the onslaught of media that had converged upon her. Angie thought that only her Mama T could give her the necessary support to manage this crazy situation. Another mistake on her part asking one parent to do something, thinking it would help the other and then the consequences going horribly wrong. She frowned as she continued to wait.
Angie was Bette’s and Tina’s only child. Her parents had wanted another child but circumstances didn’t allow for it. Bette had a unexpected physical problem that didn’t allow her to have children and Tina couldn’t have anymore children due to the difficult delivery of Angie. Her parents talked of adoption for many years, but it never happened. Angie liked being an only child because she didn’t have to share her parents. As far back as Angie could remember, she had been loved by so many people. As her Mama B put it, The three of us are very lucky to have such a great chosen family. Although they had lived in New York for most of Angie’s young life, being in Los Angeles always felt like home.

Angie is like a sponge. Nothing gets past her. She see and feels everything about her parents. She’s lucky to have Shane to talk to. And Shane is being as kind and sensitive without interfering with the life Bette and Tina are trying to lead.
I wonder if Angie was leading Shane on with the trip to see Helena and Peggy. Perhaps she thinks Bette is going somewhere else? Perhaps she is hoping she is going somewhere else? I presume we will see in the future chapters.
Lovely chapter. Rough on Angie at the moment. I wonder if Tina really sees the emotional distress she is putting Angie through. The distance between them will not help their relationship. I hope that Tina will fix this.
Thank you for this chapter…..look forward to more…

A really great Chapter, thank you.
I’m in denial that the new Show exists really but find myself reading it.
Look forward to more. I like the way you write Angie, I think she was one good thing that came out of Gen Q.

I am with you totally about the new series. But we have LesFan to help us wrap our heads around this disaster and hopefully right the boat, at least in our fictional world.

You are so right!
I have been in sole isolation for 3 weeks today and have been helped by this fictional world.
I hope you and your family are safe and you stay so.

SuperK, I think you did a fantastic job of capturing the way a teenager might ask questions about their parents and what they have seen or think they saw. Your Angie is very real, the way she circled around one topic and when she got all the questions answered was done. Also how wonderful was Shane, not giving her own thoughts away but showing interest and being present for Angie. Great story, hope you post more soon

BK,
Thank you so much for you response. Angie by far is one of the most complex characters in the new series. Capturing the essence of both parents and the current culture for teenagers along with giving Angie her own voice, it was a challenge that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Shane is great. She still does her Yoda thing, only now for Angie. I’m glad that Angie left the book of Lez Girls with Shane. But she’ll probably ask her parents question about it when they least expect it.
Will Tina come to the conclusion that her thing with Carrie was running away from her problems instead of working it out with Bette? Will Bette acknowledge that while it’s great that she would do anything that Tina asks it is important to show some initiative herself?
Looking forward to more.

Tina has become the most difficult character to capture due to the new series. I am glad you and everyone else is hanging in there as I weed through the trees so we can eventually understand the forest.

Understand the forest… very well put, SuperK! I’d say the writers of GenQ left us with a jungle when it comes to Tina ;-)
