The teen’s natural reactions made Tina smile. “I know Angelica would rather be swimming.”
“The swimming’s okay. I’d probably be hanging out with friends if I stayed home.”
Very natural reactions. Something Tina knew she’d be facing some day, but she hoped her daughter wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to grow up.
“Can I, uh, ask a question?”
“Sure.” Although Tina agreed willingly, she remained a little nervous about what the teen might ask.
The girl leaned forward, lowering her voice. “Um, somebody said you’re a lezzie, is that right?”
The term, as spoken by the teen, made Tina smile. “That’s not exactly a term I would use but yes, I’m a lesbian.”
“So Angelica doesn’t have a father.”
“We prefer to use the term donor.”
“Oh.” The girl sat back again. “Because I was just…”
“Here you are!” The question was silenced by the arrival of Steph. “I was hoping you didn’t run away.”
“Not yet.”
“I need to go, my mom’s waving at me.” Mandy got up from her chair. Tina gave her a quick good-bye wave.
“Okay, huge question for you.” Stephanie knelt next to her sister’s chair. “And you can say whatever you want, but I’m in a bind. I could really use your help.”
“Sure, I mean, if it’s something I can do.”
“My flowergirl got sick. I was sort of hoping that you might allow Angelica to sub in.”
“Well.” This was a surprise. Tina was happy to be invited for the wedding, but she wasn’t sure that she wanted her daughter to take such a prominent role given how things had gone so far with her mother. Then again, this wasn’t really for Marian, it was for Stephanie. “Why don’t we ask her?”
“Angelica?” Tina asked, rousing the girl from her play. “Aunt Stephanie has a question for you.”
As Tina said her name, Stephanie waved. “Hey kiddo. I’m getting married in a couple days. Would you like to be my flowergirl?”
“No,” Angelica replied, laughing.
Stephanie looked up at her big sister, a look of hurt on her face. Tina motioned for her to wait a moment.
“Angie, sweetie, you’d get to wear a pretty dress and carry flowers. Doesn’t that sound like fun?”
The girl shrugged. “Okay.” And then she went back to the dolls.
“‘No’ is the standard first response to most things,” Tina explained.
“This is great.” Stephanie gave her sister a big hug. “I wanted to ask her from the start. But I wasn’t sure you would come…”
“And mother didn’t know you were inviting me.”
“That, too.” Steph reached out and tousled her niece’s hair. “I think the dress we have will fit her. We’ve got a rehearsal tomorrow afternoon. Oh, you need to meet Paul, my fiancé. He’ll be there.”
“That’s good,” Tina said, enjoying watching her sister’s reactions.
“Look, I have to go. If I don’t see you later this evening, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Stephanie leaned down and gave Angelica a kiss on the cheek. “Bye, little Angel.” And with that, she was off.
“Tomorrow’s going to be an interesting day,” Tina said to her daughter. She hoped that she’d made the right choice. The last thing she wanted out of this trip was to do anything that would upset her daughter.
Angelica continued her play, unfazed, leaving her mother wishing that she could be as relaxed.

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. PPS Lucero & Marsha – from Mexico City
what the hell cant we all get along??? ive got family drama akin to this. and its just no fun. and i like fun. so tomorrow should be very interesting. do you love your daughter so much that you stay at her wedding even if your lezzie daughter/bi racial granddaughter is in the wedding, hmmmm…. this should be fun. thx
Good chapter, Angie is so cute, say no to anything lol!
