“And he would have loved that little one, you know that.”
“But he’s not here. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to keep peace, for Steph’s sake.”
They sat for a moment in silence. “You know,” John started, breaking that silence, “you don’t visit nearly enough.”
His words were genuine. One thing that Tina appreciated on this trip was the realization that despite any stresses in her immediate family, she had an extended family here that was most welcoming. “And how often have you come to see me?” Tina countered.
“California?” John gave a fake shudder. “Hardly.” Then he leaned in closer. “If you can make it, a few of us are getting together this evening at the bar in the hotel.”
“I’m not sure. It’s not like I brought a babysitter with me.”
“Well, think about it.”
“I will.”
After rehearsal, Tina collected Angelica to get her washed up and get ready for the rehearsal dinner.
“You have directions?” Steph asked. “Because we can give you a ride.”
“It’s easier if I just take her, with the booster seat and all.”
As she turned to leave, Tina bumped into a tall man. “Russ.”
“Hello. So, I’ve been told that this is my neice.”
“You were told correctly. And you were sent pictures.” Tina picked up the girl. “Ang, this is your Uncle Russ.”
“I’m running late.” With that he turned and met up with their mother.
“I’m sure he was very pleased to me you sweetie.” And with that Tina planted a kiss on Angelica’s cheek.
The girl yawned, the excitement of all the new things beginning to wear on her. “Let’s go back to our room and get ready for dinner, okay?”
“Okay,” she answered. Tina wondered if she’d even stay awake for the whole meal the way she was acting at this point.
Heading back past the pool, Tina noticed that Paulette was sitting on the deck, this time with her husband. She decided to take a chance.
“Hey there Paulette, Irv.”
Tina sat Angelica down on the table. “Christina. Irv, this is her little one, Angie, isn’t she adorable.”

Bette was a surprise inclusion, nice to see her turn up. Tina’s brother what an ass! A very nice read. Thank you
awesome, pps
Woohoo!!! Bette made it AND no sign!?! Loving it.
Great update! Glad to see where we are in regards to Tina and Bette’s relationship. I love how you’re showing us bits and pieces of Tina’s family! Can’t wait for more!
Yay!!! I like this ever so much more than a ride on a tractor! Loved that the woman of the hour was Bette. It would have been so tacky for Tina to pick up a new woman on her trip back home. What would the kinfolks think??? I’m really enjoying this story. Thanks!
Thanks for righting the wrong of the gift of the sign. Look forward to more when you can.
Irv huh? When are we going to meet Billy Jack and Tommy Joe? ;) Anyway, John seems cool and Trey is a big dork. lol Marian and Russ may have to call the National Guard to get the 2×4’s out of their asses.
What a nice way to bring Bette into the story. I was getting worried.
I am glad that Bette didn’t go to Jodi. I hope that Tina gets a chance to hear Bette out. Tina’s family is a hoot. I can’t believe the distance that is created by her Mom’s bigotry alone. Delightful chapter!
Now THAT would have been a classic moment on the show. Bette showing up, being asked to dance by Trey, and grabbing Tina’s hand as she said “Yes”. Priceless, absolutely priceless! Who out there wouldn’t love to see JB and LH play this scene to absolute perfection in S6? If only… The story is fantastic. The characters in Tina’s family are so typically southern — your portrayal of them is wonderful. Please post another chapter soon. I hope Bette and Tina confront Marian at the wedding not to mention that wuss of a brother she has. How they are treating Angelica is sad but also so realistic. Fantastic writing!
You did do a lot of changes. Tina Mom is,yes that too. Love that Bete showed up. She and Tina together are great together. Mandy was so sweet,not wanting to leave Bette alone with Angie. Mighty Porter to the recuse/ thanks
I am glad that Bette has shown up, also that she is jodiless for now (well, hopefully for good). Tina’s mother and brother are just not nice individuals. If they dislike Tina fine, but don’t take it out on Angelica because of the love that Bette and Tina share.
I was wondering when Bette was going to appear. I loved how u wrote that scene.
Wow! Look at all your comments! Wasn’t expecting Bette to show up. Glad she did. Looking forward to the wedding. PPS!!
Wow, I didn’t expect Bette to show up. Definitely a bonus to have both Tina and Bette in the story. Can’t wait for more. Thanks for posting.
A story that you’re developing in an interesting manner. Please continue. Very enjoyable.
Oh boy, so happy tht the woman in the bar was Bette, that had me worried when I read the author’s note. I would love to see them play that scene out on the show with some poor very unsuspecting guy thinking, “what the hell?” Glad tht Bette did not even go to Jodi, YAY. She only needs and loves one woman and she’s with her. PPS
The plot thickens! Love this take on Tina’s family. Interesting twist with Bette showing up unexpectedly! Look forward to the next chapter.
Wow. Bette showing up was as much of a surprise to me as it was to Yina. I really enjoy seeing Tina as Angelica’s loving caring mother. We don’t see much of this on TLW, so it is wonderful to have you flesh this out in such a thoughtful, well-written story. Her courage in facing her family for Angelics’s and her sister’s sakes is touching. Thanks for thinking of this and sharing.
This is getting more interesting. Bette’s presence will bring more moral support for Tina, and shall put Marian and Russ on their place. It was sweet that Bette went to sleep with her daughter. Big cheers on the news about no Jodi and no sign. Yaaay! Can’t wait for B&T to talk and try to right the wrongs of the past and find their way back to each other. Thanks for the update. It was just GREAT. Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
damn, i thought we were gonna get twink sex with tina! ;) lol i know many of those people in your story, except i have to interact with them. thx
Oh I am so glad Bette showed up. Hopefully there will be communication and a reunion between the two of them. Loving this story. Please post again soon.
the mystery if tibette is solved LOL…it was great that Bette showed up for support, of course they have a lot to talk about but she’s there for Tina and it’s important
Nice range of characters in Tina’s family-it must be uncomfortable for her mother and brother to each have such a large stick up their asses. I think I’ve met Irv somewhere. So Bette seems to have realized that there were no good reasons why. I guess her falling asleep was a good thing in that it gives Tina a bit of time. Sort of good.
Well, at least Tina hesitated before getting into bed alone. That means for a second she thought about joining Bette and Angelica…that’s a start! Thanks!
A big decision was made, making it post S4 and w/o the sign as a grand romantic gesture. Looking forward to seeing how this story progresses.
it blew my mind that bette showed and i laughed so hard when trey asked bette to dance and she grabbed tina’s hand, lol, beautiful!! bette needs to go to the wedding with tina and really give tina’s mom the shock of her life!!! LOL :)
come on pseud, tell me you’re really a writer for the l-word and that that they’ve tapped you to write season 6 and the only reason we haven’t read any of these scenes or versions of the other seasons is that someone who will remain nameless lost her mind, became pussy-whipped, and so you’ve just been on the back burner?! i love this story like all your others and i love finally really seeing tina. i think everyone always wonders what bette sees in tina because we know nothing of her backstory or ever get to see her personality come out. thanks for the update and i hope you keep writing this story for a long time.
BETTE’S ON THE SCENE….YAY!!!! too bad Tina went to be alone, then again one never knows if Bette may have a nightmare or an x rated dream and go crawling into Tina’s bed!!! PPS!!!
Bette showing up and asking Tina to dance, while John just stood by and laughed at Trey had to be a priceless moment. I hope that Bette will attend the wedding with Tina, so she can see Angelica as the flower girl. Russ is an ass for not acknowledging his niece. Whatever he may think of Tina, Angelica has done nothing to him PS.
I had a feeling that we’d see Bette sooner or later.I hope they can get back together and go to the wedding together and tell her mother off.
Awesome, Bette is here!
