"They’re going to say no."
"Well, too bad they’re not the ones I want to date." Bette said flatly.
"Bette –"
"T, it’s not like it’s going to be a shocking revelation."
"What if they’re right?"
Bette looked at her. "Do you love me?"
"Well, yes, but –"
"That’s all that matters. That’s what counts." Bette searched imploringly in Tina’s eyes. "All I’m counting on is you try to work this out with me."
Tina smiled. "With Jedi there is no try, right?"
"Okay, Star Wars freak, enough with that." Bette joked.
"Mama!"
Both women turned to where Angelica was beaming at them.
"Hi, honey." Tina greeted.
"Obi-Nobi!" Angelica replied, beaming with pride.
Tina smiled back at her.
Bette turned to Tina, suspicious. "Why am I afraid to ask where she picked that from?"
"Because she can say Obi-wan Kenobi and not Monet?" Tina returned. "Hi, honey."
Angelica raised her arms. "Up."
"So commanding," Bette noted to Tina, getting out of bed and getting their daughter.
"Imagine my shock the first time she said it to me." Tina smiled, watching as Angelica eagerly wrapped her arms around her mother. "Then again, that little girl takes after her mother."
Bette brought Angelica to the bed. "So this is us."
Angelica looked up at her, and smiled broadly, before turning to Tina and said something.
Tina nodded at her daughter. "I know, your Mama B missed us very much."
Angelica turned to her other mother, and said something.
Bette had no clue, but nodded anyway. "Why, yes, baby, I’d love to have breakfast with you and your mom."
Angelica looked at her strangely, then turned to Tina questioningly.
"Your mom’s gone insane, hon." Tina told her. "I’m sure she knows we miss her, too."
Mother and daughter smiled at each other, leaving Bette out of the loop.
"How come you understand each other?" Bette asked as Angelica reached for her other mother.
"We don’t, do we, baby?" Tina cooed at her daughter.
"So how come I got that look? I couldn’t have said the wrong thing?"
Tina shrugged. "Beats me."
"Is she always going to turn to you for everything?" Bette asked in a petulant manner, as the three of them left the bed and made their way out of Angelica’s room and into the adjoining bedroom. She stopped, noticing the change of scenery. "Hey, is this your bedroom?"
"No, this is for when Angelica doesn’t like her own room." Tina retorted. "Yes, Bette. This is my room."
Bette glanced around, at the French doors and windows, the white curtains, the Homes and Gardens-ness of it. "It’s beautiful."
"It’s a mess." Tina pointed out, noting the unsorted laundry basket, the books and other reading materials waiting to be fixed by the side of the bed.
Bette glanced at Tina, holding Angelica, the early morning sun bathing them both in soft natural lighting. Mother and daughter, both dissheveled from the early hour, one lacking sleep and the other mere minutes into waking. She maintained what she’d said.
Bette smiled faintly. "I didn’t notice."

My last story for the day – and it’s left me in a warm, fuzzy glow. Thank you for a lovely chapter.
Duke? “Fighting the temptation to end it at the previous chapter.”? You’re a time traveller? Well of course, as an author you must do what seems true to your creation. But it’s been a most pleasant read, one I’m sure we all wish will continue.
While I eagerly await the reunion, I am most interested in the reaction of the friends…Tina reentering the group will be very interesting.
Although there were a couple of moments of slight tension, this was on the whole a cute and sweet chapter. Loved Angelica looking at Bette like she had grown a second head. LOL Also caught the good cop, bad cop reference, and we all know Bette has to play bad cop in the future. hehe ;)
as ever tiff – warm fuzzy feelings – better than warm milk for sleeping! but surely you jest about ending it? please don’t
i am so fuckin’ lovin’ this story… please please please continue.x.x.
this chapter was perfect…love them as a family, please don’t stop…i think you should at least write until the time when they are solid and then make a smooth change to 16 years later to the other story
Tiff…This was wonderful. I loved, loved the dialogue, just a tinge of sarcasm and snarkiness, just the right tone. You’re an amazing writer. It is an absolute pleasure to read your story. A palpable joy when I saw it listed. Lots more please.
Tiff, why can’t you end it? Too easy? Lured in by the TiBette love potential?
tiffy, i hope u dont end this.i love the way u write and while i love the tibette banter, the interaction between angelica and tina leaves me wanting for more!! thank u!
Hmm, interesting question about ending it at the last chapter. I understand that, but I’m very glad you continued. Sweet chapter.
In some culture, it won’t do to not finish something you’ve started in the proper way. I do hope you will continue. Thanks for yet another great chapter, tiff.
this was a sweet and nice chapter it seems like they are understanding each other! and Angelica their performance is cute. please continue i think they will be together soon.
Tina and Angelica.Is like watching two babies on the floor jabbing to each other then laughing and doing it again. and You wonder what are the saying to each other. Was glad the spend the night talking and not yelling and screaming at each other. thanks
I know I’ve said it before, but I love the way you write scenes with baby Jeli. You must have a kid, or a lot of access to a kid? This was another warm heart-warming beautiful chapter. I don’t want it to end.
This was beautiful, I love this story and I don’t want it to end, not right now, there is so much left to tell. Thanks for the post.
I only wish that you will take us through the dating process, facing the gang, and onto being Bette and Tina again only this time better. This story warms my heart and helps me to believe in humans again.
This is so good. Angie is so cute!
“”Thankfully a one-year-old is better than a daughter who’s fifteen, so I don’t think we’re gonna get a lot of violent reactions from her.” Tina replied.”…This reminded me of the story by Pseud. Where is she? …I’m really enjoying the vignettes with A. And talking! Who knew? Thanks.
i am so glad to see Tina and Bette continue to fight the good fight. I love your story, keep it comming.
I’m grateful you didn’t end this story in the previous chapter. I would like to see Tina romance the cuff links off of Bette.
TD, Aw schs, a sweet and heartfelt addition as Bette and Tina opened their hearts and spoke in terms of emotions. Again it is your dialogue that conveys the beauty and simplicity of your writing. You reveal so much about the gals through their words. Please continue this delightful and delicious drama as I am sure that the rest of the gang will have an input into the resurrection of Bette and Tina relationship. And I can’t wait to read what their reactions are. Thank you for this fabulous fan fiction, Your Loyal Fan.

Please Tiff, keep on fighting the temptation, its too soon to end this story so much is still to be told…
Okay, I jsut caught up on this story, and I can’t believe I haven’t started reading this before. It’s great. I love it. post soon
Wait, wait, wait. I didn’t notice a TBC at the end of this chapter. Please, please, please continue. I adore this story and especially your writing.
Favourite lines: “And even though it was bordering on being against her better judgment, she still loved Tina. And given the right reasons, would always take her back.
Sometimes, even for no reason at all.”
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS
