Trying not to get too emotional, Tina returned the embrace with one arm, still keeping a grasp on her daughter with the other.
Each of the woman had tears in her eyes as they separated.
“You look beautiful,” Tina said. She and her sister had traded pictures over the last several years, and had seen each other on brief occasions, but it never seemed enough. Her sister was more petite, but possessed similar coloring. The two of them, without a doubt, strongly resembled each other.
“And you.” Then Steph’s attention turned towards Angelica. She picked up the child. “And this one. Oh my God! It’s like a pocket-sized Porter.”
“Angelica, can you say hello to your Aunt Stephanie?” Tina asked, rubbing her hand on the girl’s back.
Angelica, busily sucking on the fingers of one hand, mumbled a “hello.”
“It’s all a bit new for her,” Tina explained.
“That’s okay.” Stephanie kissed her niece on the cheek. “We’ve got our entire lives for me to spoil her.” She handed the girl off to Tina. “I need to go back to being the center of attention. Come by soon and save me.”
The look of panic that Steph adopted for the last bit that she said gave Tina a grin. Feeling more comfortable after her sister’s welcome, Tina went to grab some sweets for herself and Angelica and find a table where they could sit and perhaps visit.
They grabbed a plate and scanned the dessert table. “Tell me what looks good.” For Angelica, of course, that meant everything. Tina was a bit more selective, grabbing several small things that her daughter could eat with her hands, as well as a slice of a delicious-looking fruit tart.
Immediately, Angelica grabbed for a cookie, but Tina moved the plate to outside of her daughter’s reach. “We’re going to sit down first so that someone might think I taught you manners.”
“Momma B makes me manners.”
“I’m sure she does,” Tina agreed. “We’re still going to try that here.”
Tina took a seat at a table. “Want me to get you a booster seat?”
“No,” Angelica declared, climbing onto an adjoining chair and standing up so that she could reach for her mother’s plate.

I’m loving this story but where’s Bette. Is she going to make an unexpected visit? Are they still together? PPS>
I like the tension but I have to admit I am hoping that ALPHA Bette will soon be flying in to the rescue:-)PPS
I agree that bette needs to show up and claim her woman and get away from jodie! also i’m in awe of how well you have tina written given the stress of the situation.. she went by her self with a 3 year old angie to this southern hick town wedding… want to know what is going with mandy…. and her questions? nice update :)
loving it, pps. i wish bette would show up but i think litte bette is doing a good job
Not liking Tina’s parental unit. But then I suppose that’s the point. We can’t all have positive supportive families, now can we? I am a lone voice in the wilderness thankful that there’s no Bette so far. Lets Tina shine, instead of always being in a shadow. Thanks!
”someone who had just swallowed a bug” – LOL – You know, Angie might be very impressed by a grandma who could swallow a bug. _ ;-)
I love this story, but I’m hoping the only reason Bette isn’t there is to keep the peace so to speak….not wanting Tina’s nasty mother to have a total cow and make a scene or something. Please tell me B & T are back together and Tina wanted to do this alone. Maybe Bette’s coming afterward for a little vacation in the country?? PPS
where is Bette, if they were still together wouldn’t Bette call at night or so????
Where to begin…I am still chuckling over Steph’s pocket-sized Porter comment…Tina’s Mom is a piece of work and I loved Angie’s response to her…Miss Mandy seems to have something on her mind, I hope Tina can get an uninterrupted moment with her…And you so know that Angelica is going to be the cutest flowergirl ever. I am so excited to see the next chapter.
great story so far. gotta agree with JKS on the bette note, let Tina have her time for now.i seem to be getting a bit of racist vibe from the mother at this time (referring to the part about the “extent of you embarrassments” line).would that be correct or is she just being a shit because Tina’s gay?let’s just hope that angie really has the combined Kennard/Porter charm to win everyone over!!keep up the great work.x.x.
Hey Pseud: this is really working very well. I like that its different and showing what, for some folks, is a reality in their lives; not everyone has the support of their family of origin. And your Tina and Angelica are just perfect. Thanks for this story. Lin
I’m loving this Pseud, it feels very different than any of the other B/T/A stories. Although my heart is dreading it, I fear Bette is not coming to the rescue here – after Angie mentioned Momma B and the manners Tina’s comment suggested to me they are not a happy family. Can’t wait for the updates. And, as stressful as life can be – rest assured that your writing is also the source of much ‘de-stressing’ for us!
Momma B so needs to show up.
I really felt the awkwardness. Good storytelling. PPS.
Thoroughly enjoyed the update. I sense some drama coming from Tina’s Momma.
Because its her sister wedding, Tina will take a lotIf I wae her mother I would walk sofely,Tina doe carry a big stick when it comes to Angie. The mime Porter will win the heart of the hardest one,except the Mother. Thank goodness Tina is a Lady which some of her family isn’t thanks
I wonder why people can’t see past the colour of Angel’s skin to notice that she resembles Tina…or even Marcus???? I’ve seen this written several times in stories that she looks like Porter, how can she if she doesn’t have her genes? so it must only be the colour and the hair. It’s just an observation because I have a son with an ex. She is the biological parent & my cousin was the donor but I’d never expect people to say my/our son looks like me. In a way it’s kinda like saying ‘all coloured/black people look alike’ which of course we don’t if u look properly.Otherwise I’m enjoying the mystery of the story.
This is so interesting. Tina going back home and facing a mother who does not even care that she is alive. I can sort of understand how she is acting towards Tina but not her own granddaughter Angelica. Angie is a hoot as most 2 or 3 year olds are.
Great, This was just great. I love Tina, I mean she is being really, really strong and she is showing confidence, and angie sooooo cute. And I think that Bette’s part, can wait.
My heart sank when Tina’s mother referred to Angie as an ’embarrassment’. Sad to think there are still people out there like that. Great story. I’m hoping its post season five and Bette comes out there and the Portard clan really embarrasses Tina’s mom :)
This is a very interesting story. I like how Angie laughs and answers with a “no” on most odd questions. lol
Well, I for one am hoping that Bette will be in this story….with Tina at some point soon. Great update pseud!
I felt the chill from Mrs Kennard, will her polar ice caps melt or will she still be cold as ice..interesting spin on your story. Thank you
I’m with swimmie. I love that this story is focused on Tina. Love the tension, the pain, the exploration of her family background … wonder what bug is up Grandma Kennard’s butt? Can’t wait to read more! Oh, and “Pocket Porter” … LMAO!
I’m very much enjoying the story. Love Tina…she is there for her sister and more than capable of handling her mother. Thanks for the post.
This story is sooooo good! We love the interaction between T and Angie. Too bad T’s mom is missing the blessing of having a grandchild. Yep. There’s still a lot of short minded people in this world. Angie’s response to T’s mom was perfect. We like your strong and sweet Tina. She is very real, through your exquisite dialogue. Thanks for the update. It was just AWSOME.
