Bette and Tina approached the pool walking hand-in-hand.
As they neared the table, Paulette raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
“I’m going to join Angie in the water.” Bette gave Tina a wink after making that announcement.
“So?” Paulette asked expectantly.
Tina took a seat and just gave a shrug. “Has she been behaving?”
“Sure, you won’t answer that question.”
“Paulette. It’s a bit…I guess confusing is the way I’d explain it.”
“Does this make Bette your ex-ex?”
“Honestly, I don’t know what it makes her, what it makes us. I suppose I should figure that out, though. For Angelica’s sake.”
“She does like having her mommies, looks like.”
Out in the water, Bette and Mandy were pushing around Angelica as the girl held on to a floating board. They were all clearly enjoying the improvised game.
“We’ve always – almost always, anyway – gotten along on the mommy front.” Tina tried not to remember the anger and confusion she felt when Bette took off from Whistler with Angelica.
“That helps.”
“But you’re right. Maybe we’re building up expectations for our daughter that we won’t be able to meet.” Tina sounded as if she was convincing herself of this as much as having a discussion.
“Tina?” Paulette put her hand over Tina’s.
“Hmm?”
“Take it a day at a time. And expect the best. You two deserve it.”
“I’m just concerned.”
“Let that concern help you, not scare you.”
“Thanks.” Tina gave her cousin a smile. “And thanks for watching Angelica.”
“I’m grateful Mandy’s getting more of a chance to babysit.”
“She seems to enjoy it.”
“She does. But she’s also seeing how much work it is to have a child around. That’s something I want her to be well aware of.”
“Your secret scheme emerges.”
“I hadn’t really planned out this scheme. But it is a side benefit that I’ll take.”
Tina watched her family, if she would allow herself that thought, out in the water together. Bette and Angelica, joined by Mandy, splashing together in the pool.
“Be glad for what you have. Like your beautiful daughter.”
“But what if it’s not about me?” Tina could feel the anxiety growing again. “What if it’s something she thinks is best for Angelica?”
“Tina?”
“Hmm?” The response to hearing her name was automatic. But when her cousin said nothing more, Tina was compelled to look in Paulette’s direction.
“Sweetie, she has Angie, already. She wants you, too.”
The words were simple, but there was truth with in them. “Thanks.”

Paulette is right Bette has Angie,but she wants Tina also thanks
I’ll echo aqueous_one in saying that Cousin Paulette is right, Bette’s not just there for Angie’s sake. The sooner Tina realizes this, the better. I’m really happy to see you posting again, pseud, and I’ll be on the lookout for your next… Thanks, pseud.
Dawwwwwww yeahhhhhh
Awww I loved this line… “Sweetie, she has Angie, already. She wants you, too.” Tina’s cousin is awesome! It’s wonderful to see her reassuring Tina that Bette is more than interested. Thanks for popping in to post Pseud!
I was so excited to see this post. I do not care if it was just a few words (like 6) but two whole pages made my day. Yep, Bette wants the cake with icing, ice cream and the chocolate syrup to go with it.
Loving this story! PPS!
