No answer was forthcoming. Angelica instead kept herself busy on strewing her clothes around the room.
“Janey and Richard are going to love meeting you,” she continued, adding an, ‘I hope,’ in her thoughts. “So, what do you say to a bath before they get here?”
She knew that bathing the child before feeding her wasn’t necessarily the smartest move. But she thought that the water might help soothe her daughter and, if she were more comfortable, she could be less crabby.
That decided, Tina grabbed some of the clothes off the floor and started to ready the bathroom to become the site of the next struggle.

When she heard the knock at the door, Tina had succeeded in getting Angelica through her bath. Her daughter was over at the coffee table, dressed in pajamas, and coloring in a book that they’d picked up especially for the trip.
Tina opened the door. Her expression grew into a wide smile as she saw her cousin, a petite woman about ten years older than herself. “Jane, come in.” Looking in the hallway, she noted that the woman was alone. “Where’s Richard?”
“He ran into some folks down in the bar and got involved in the game on TV.”
“Say no more.” She looked at the boxes that Jane was spreading out on the table. “Hey Sweet Pea, want some dinner?”
“So.” Jane tilted her head towards Angelica. “This is your little one.”
“This is her,” Tina gave a proud smile. “Let’s put your coloring away until later.”
The clean-up got a mild protest but that quickly abated when the food was pulled out of the containers.
“Angelica, say hi to your cousin Jane.”
The introduction to the stranger distracted the girl, but Angelica was being quiet. By the time a plate with barbeque chicken and all the trimmings was set before her, the coloring was no longer missed and the stranger in the room, ignored.
“Sorry, she takes a little to warm up to new people.”
“It’s okay,” Jane said, giving the girl a smile. She started pulling the rest of the food from the big bag on the table.
“It’s our first time traveling by airplane, but she’s done pretty well. I have no idea when she might go to sleep tonight.”
“She’s beautiful.”
The compliment caused Tina to smile again. “Thank you.”
“She really does look like a child from you and Bette.”
“That’s because she really is,” Tina started, feeling herself tense up. Then she realized that what was said wasn’t meant to be malicious. “I’m sorry.”
Jane reached across the table and took hold of Tina’s hand. “Don’t worry, sweetie. I know this is tough for you.”
“I really did want to be here, you know. Steph called me when she first got engaged.”
“I know. And I’m glad to see you. And to meet this little one, finally.” Jane dropped her hold on Tina’s hand and returned to her dinner.
“So there’s going to be a tea tomorrow afternoon?”
“That’s the plan. And Steph is expecting you to be there.”
“I know, but.” Tina pushed around what was on her plate with her fork. “What about everyone else?”
“Your mother will be there. But Steph asked that we not tell her you were coming.”
To this news, Tina just nodded.
“I think Aunt Marian will be fine.” Jane stroked Angelica’s hair. “Especially after she meets this little one.”
“I hope so.” Tina gave her daughter a smile, but wasn’t feeling as certain as her cousin in the assessment.

thought that was a great chapter. looking forward to seeing fireworks. been in those situations before. thx
This was a fantastic update, dear friend. The storyline is quite attractive and the way you are telling it is amazing. Thanks for continuing with it and hope you may post soon (like yesterday) Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha (From Mexico City)
I hope that Tina’s mom will be civil to Tina during this tea. Angelica does not deserve to have these so called family members look at her and put her down for who her mommies are.
I love that you are tackling the great mystery of Tina’s family. I am glad she has some family that has her back. I hope her Mom can get over all the issues and realize she has a beautiful daughter and granddaughter that she is missing out on. Is Bette going to be around????
I’m looking forward to seeing where you are taking this story. Please post again soon.
Aunt Marian, and the rest of the clan Kennard, for that matter, surely will not be able to stop themselves from falling in love with Angie, the World’s Cutest Kid… Thanks for posting, pseud.
Great approach to this story. Let it unfold at your pace and I’ll enjoy the stroll.
so interesting! can’t wait to see where this is going. i have a sinking feeling and if it turns out tina’s other relatives are racist as well as homophobes, that would be very sad.
Thanks for the post. I sense a little family drama ahead and I’m looking forward to it.
So, we’re going to get a little scoop on Tina’s background. It sounds like there’s a touch of animosity with at least her mother. Can’t wait for more of the story!
In this story are Bette and Tina a couple?
This is kind of sad. Are Bette & Tina not together in this one? Can’t wait for more!
Angie needs bette to come out and soothe her..can’t wait to see what the family will say about tina and angie,,, how can anyone not like boo?? nice update :)
I’m sensing sadness in Tina separate from the ‘meeting up with the family’ dread…she and Bette are not together, are they? Hope I’m wrong…
”no promises on when the next installment” Can we look pitifully at you with our big brown Angie eyes while we wait? ;-)
Hey P! I am so glad you posted this again. I am very much looking forward to reading more about this story. I have always been curious about Tina’s family on the show so this is great that we get to meet them. What about Bette? Is she gonna make an appearance soon? Thanks for continuing to write I love it! Please post more when possible. Take care!xoxo :)
yeah, pseud.I always love your stories. can’t wait for your next post
Good chapter and Im with jp22, please post more, thanks!
I’m so glad to see another chapter. Hope you’ll post soon Thanks.
Hey Pseud, Another great chapter in this intriguing adventure. It is great to get to meet some of Tina’s family. Doesn’t feel like Bette and Tina are together here. Sounds like Tina has some issues with her family. Homophobia for example. I do hope that bridges can be repaired as Angie deserves to know where she comes from. I also hope that Bette arrives, making a grand gesture to reunite with her lover and child. Whatever way you decide to take this terrific tale I will be here ready to read and enjoy. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Good one! Thanks
I hope to read more of this soon, like within the next hour.
i feel really sad for Tina in this chapter…i hope her family will excpet her especially when they’ll how cute angie is
