“Always is,” he said with a nod. “Good luck trying to steal my woman.”
“I think Angelica’s already stolen her from both of us.”
“She’s a little charmer all right.”
Thinking of her daughter always brought a smile to Tina’s face. “It’s difficult to imagine a life without her.”
“Which one?” Trey whispered. Then he slipped away, allowing Tina to mull a response in her thoughts.
There was a certain truth to that thought. An unexpected benefit of allowing Bette access to Angelica as a co-parent was the fact that the relationship kept Bette in contact with Tina. There had been times of contention between them; that was undeniable. Even so, they had come to a place where, as parents, they fully agreed.
Tina looked at her sister. She hoped that her sister would know the joy of children. With that thought, she also felt sad. Any children of Stephanie’s would no doubt get acceptance within her immediate family in a way that Angelica appeared destined to be denied.
Perhaps if she had brought the girl earlier or more often. Perhaps then things would be different with her family. She’d been sending pictures from the start. The only response had been silence.
Lost in her musings, Tina didn’t realize that Bette had returned until she felt a familiar tug on the skirt. Angelica’s request to climb into her lap.
She scooped up the girl. Did you have a nice walk?
“I love you, Mommy.” The girl gave Tina a kiss on the cheek and a big squeeze.
The sincerity of the sentiment brought a tear to Tina’s eye. “I love you, too, Ang.”
“Do you love Momma B?”
From the mouths of babes. Tina looked at Bette who, outside of the girl’s line of sight, responded with a bemused smile
“Momma?”
No ducking this one. “Yes, I love Momma B.”
This comment earned a wink from Bette.
Unaware of what she was stirring, Angelica leaned against her mother. “Me, too.”
Away from the drama at this particular table, the newlyweds, were cutting the cake.
Following the central events, Angelica laughed when Paul tried to shove cake into Stephanie’s face. The bride was able to evade the mess. Following this exchange, the two of them shared their first dance.

well some think that this might be an optimistic situation. but in my life (long time) holy shit, its never easy. and things that look like it might be good are really scary shit. im really looking forward to whats really gonna happen. thx
Yep, Tina’s making progress in all fronts, with Bette, with her mother and other relatives. I have to say this chapter feels a lot better than the tragic “Divergence”. Thanks for the update, pseud, and PPS. :>
I think this has been the best one yet. Amazing chapter.
So well done, Pseud. Thanks for this chapter. I look forward to your next whenever you have the time and opportunity. This story is very touching and very real. Lin
It was such a pleasure to see that an update of this story was up. You know just the antecipation of reading it was a pleasure on itself. And you so didn’t disappoint with this chapter :o) I loved the way Trey came to tease Tina about how he knew that look (Bette and Tina always say so much with just the way they look at each other) and that she was going to make a play for his date and Tina just admitted that yeah she probably would. It was like she was accepting it herself. Another line i loved was Marion’s “You used to do that”. It’s such a subtle way to convey a feeling of loss and love. Very well done :o) Loved the chapter. Hope you write more soon.
I love all of your Tibette stories but this one makes me giddy all over. Maybe it is the opening up of the family, or maybe it is finally getting to see the other side of Tina. Post soon or when you can.
I’m thrilled you are back to this story…it’s one of my favs…looking forward to your next post…
From your synopsis, I was so afraid that Marian was going to get ugly with Tina and Bette. Instead, this was wonderfully sweet! I love a story that takes us to new ground. And it’s so nice to meet Tina’s family and find out that they are not wolves. Thanks!
I loved this chapter! Angelica is going to melt the ice between them…kids can do this. Great job Pseud, but I must say I’m a little nervous about your story endings now.
what a sweet update. angie is so cute, glad that tina and bette danced. tina’s mom looks like little angie has won her over!!..:)
I’m glad you’re back with this! I hope Bette and Tina get to have a little good night smooch??? PPS
Yup, good story.
Really enjoyed the update, excellent job, as always.
I really love this story…all the family dynamics, the way you portray Angelica, and of course the slow burn between B and T. Just keep going. Thanks.
I can’t imagine getting bored with this story, pseud. Wonderful update… I love your B&T… and Angie, too. Looking forward to the conversation or evening’s continuation once Angie is in bed.
Angie is so cute and yes she make her grandma break her ice heart. Love to see B&T dancing!
This has become so optimistic!! I look forward to the next post.
Your updates are always a treat and a pleasure to read. Thank you.
I certainly hope its a new future for them all. What with Bette’s parents and then Tina’s no wonder they were stressed. Girlz need their parents especially when they r raising babies. Grandma MARION’s gonna fall in-love with Angelica. Pps.
Angelica seems to be charming the socks off everyone… Takes after her Momma B, I suppose. Nice update, thanks pseud.
Hello Pseud, Sweet to be back reading more of this terrific tale. I just adore the premise and how being back home is bringing Bette and Tina back together and letting Tina’s family have a chance at getting to know Angelica. Bette’s instant defence of her daughter was admirable if a little ill placed. Great to see the Alpha Tee come to the fore and stop Bette from ruining this important step forward between Angelica and Tina’s Mom. I do hope that this cute and precious little girl can cut through the divide between her mom and her grandmother. I am hopeful that this lunch (with Bette invited) might be the beginning of a wonderful reconcillation of this family. Many thanks for having the courage and conviction of this awesomw adventure. Your Loyal Fan.
glad to see that Marian was behaving well w/ Boo….hope that the bbq can see some understanding between Marian & Bette, that Marian (and us) will see something that demonstrates how much in love B is with T….thx for this!!
Great update asusual. I hope that Bette doesn’t faint when she learns that she has been invited to the luncheon. Anglica is really a little charmer, a TRUE Porter :o).
Woohooo I am happy to see another installment of this story, I was getting affraid it had been shelved. Another good one from you I hope you keep that big ol wall of Marions crashing down and that you find another chapter to the wedding night somewhere in the back of your mind – maybe a little bit of good night smooching for B&T?? ;-)
i really luv your writing, can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
Yay! Glad to see you’re back…I was worried about where you had gone. Anyway, I think this is my favorite chapter so far. Loved it. Now let Bette play nice with Grandma at lunch. We may be getting somewhere here. PPS :)
Please continue Pseud! This is such a different premise and so hopeful. Plus, Angelica at the center of the story is an added treat. Thank you for finding the time, and please continue!
Excellent chapter! Loved Bette’s winking at Tina, that get’s me every time. Grandma seems to be melting a bit. Can’t wait for more.
Dawwwww.
Such a lovely story…thanks.
brilliant…nobody can resist angelica :)
I soooo love this story Pseud! I hope you will continue to post updates as time permits. You are such a talented writer. Keep it up!!!
I have so missed this story!!! thanks for updating, wish you’d do so more often!!!
A little child shall lead them. Achild cry can break a heart. A childs kiss can mend broken heart, or start to fill the cracks
I really love this story, and how all the relationships are unfolding. I’m so enjoying learning about Tina’s family. I’m glad to see that Marian seems to be softening, at least when it comes to her grandchild. Look forward to reading what happens next!
The little charmer Angelica broke through Marian’s heart of ice. I hope that Tina is right and this is a new start. Bette needs to chill and let Angelica have this relationship Grandparents weren’t always great parents but sometimes they are great Grandparents. Glad to see a new chapter, I really enjoy this story!
grandma is definitely going to crack…can’t wait for your next post.
