“I’m just sayin’.” Shane held her hands up in resignation.
Tina sighed hard and Angie had to put her head down contain her own smirk at Shane’s underlying suggestion. She too had pressed her mom several times as to whether she was absolutely sure this is what she wanted. While she would do anything to see her parents get back together, Angie knew not to pester Tina as Mama B had instructed that it was not their time to be selfish during Mama T’s joyous occasion. They both had to put Tina’s feelings before their own. It’s what family does, she had explained to her daughter.
“Hey Angie, can you give your mom and me a minute?” Shane requested.
Angie looked at Tina then back at Shane trying to discern what they could possibly need to discuss without her around but also knowing that Mama B was fresh on both of their minds now. “Uh, yeah. Sure. Guess I’ll go check on Carrie.”
“Thanks, sweetie.” Tina responded, her stomach a-flutter at what Shane wanted to talk about. “Let her know I’m just about ready.”
“Okay.” Once Angie shut the door to the suite and it was just Shane and Tina and Tina’s glam squad adjusting her bodice, Shane jumped up to sit on the counter of the vanity.
Tina stood in her wedding gown looking at Shane directly in the eye, wondering when the conversation would begin. The photographer continued taking candid shots as the glam squad fixed the final thread.
Shane took in Tina’s form from head to toe and back up again. It wasn’t the typical appreciation scan that Shane tossed at just about any woman whose attention she wanted. No, this was her sizing Tina up in an effort to discern the truth before the question was even asked.
The silence was choking Tina into anxiety. She decided to be the first to speak.
“How is she?” She asked, the words slowly dripping from her at a whisper.
Shane squinted. “Who?” She inquired, leaning forward and grabbing the counter on either side of her knees.
The blonde sighed. “Come on, Shane.”
“Tina,” Shane implored. “Look, I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I know how your relationship…with anyone…should turn out when I can’t even figure out my own shit. But let’s also not pretend that anything I tell you about your daughter’s mother isn’t going to be rife with heartbreak.”

Nice story….is there a continuation to this? What happens next?
Great words from Shane…. I wonder if they mean anything to Tina?
If marriage does not enhance a relationship, then why marry? For many marriage does enhance a relationship its a promise to forsake all other possibilities and to commit yourself to one person now and forever.
My understanding of the four good luck charms is that they must be on the bride’s person to be effective. Having Angie as your object of blue would not count. Okay, Whatever….
Hi Martha,
Thanks for reading! This was just a little vignette. I have no plans at the moment to finish it. As I said in my author notes, I have many little wedding scenes in my head that I’m just vomiting on my screen to exercise the muscle a bit.
I think you are correct about the four good luck charms, but I suppose that is just another reason why this marriage is doomed if Tina is not abiding by the rules.
Appreciate all comments so thanks again!
Gosh, I never imagined I would ever type anything like this, but keep up this screen vomit of yours. It is, uh, delightful (you obv know that my first word choice was “delicious”)
I see what you did there.
Sad, this is a story on its self. Would love to see what is going to happen now.
Getting marriad because someone is easy, doesn’t speak to me as Tina madly in love.
Wise words from Shane to Tina.
I absolutely love Angie. She is so smart and funny.
Love the bond with both her mothers.
How can you be madly in love if you know that you’ll only be “happy enough” to marry someone? Tina is cheating herself out of true love, and we all know that.
Thanks so much for commenting Bibi! And I agree, Angie is awesome. She just might be the most well-adjusted character to come out of the new show lol
Thanks for posting, MeLL. Yes, a very good and a very Shane question. Tina accepting the proposal and getting married because being with Carrie is easy explains a lot for me. Taking the easy road with someone to simply settle. The other choice would be the love of your life and passion but the risk of being burned or squashed by it.
Looking forward to more of your vignettes.
After the exchange between Tina and Bette in 106 of GenQ, it seemed like Tina still harbored some resentment toward Bette about their relationship so it seems only fitting that Carrie is the exact opposite of Bette in that regard. But yes, she is settling. Relationships are hard work, but it makes it that much more worth it when you have to work at it. Especially where passion is concerned. We all deserve those breathtaking moments. Thanks for your unwavering support and comments Kiwi!
This story is excellent. I hope they use it in Season 2. Shane will always be Yoda and Alice’s mouth continues to be a lethal weapon
Hi Jane! Thanks so much for reading and for your very kind comment.
Shane is definitely intuitive and wise like Yoda. And yeah, Alice is a trip. I’m going to try to keep my expectations low for Season 2. Expect the worst, but hope for the best.
Thanks for these thought provoking posts of ‘vomit’!
Shane will always be Yoda!
Love Angie and think she is the best thing to come out of Gen Q :-)
Look forward to more
