Tina opened the door, and smiled at her neighbor. "Hey, Andie. Come on in."
Andrea entered the house, and turned to Tina. "Where do I put this?"
"Where food goes, Andie."
"In front of the TV?"
"Dining table." Tina frowned at her. "Have I not taught you anything?"
"I now know that there’s more to the food delivery service than pizza and burgers." Andrea said brightly.
"You have Home Ec at your school, right?"
"Yeah, but that’s an elective, and no way am I gonna be stuck in a kitchen learning to cook."
"Didn’t you want to live in Italy?"
"Yeah. So?"
"So you’re gonna have to learn to live without 24-hour delivery."
"Haha."
"I’m serious."
"Yes, mother." Andrea snarked.
Tina shrugged. "Trust me, I’m gonna make sure Angelica learns to cook."
"Good luck with that."
"Considering Bette’s cooking skills?" Tina smiled. "I think I’m gonna need it."
Andrea stared at her, suddenly realizing something, and then at her own outfit. "Something I should know?"
Tina glanced at her. "What?"
Andrea motioned to Tina’s shirt-and-jeans outfit, and then at her own shirt-and-jeans combination. "I’m underdressed."
"Mine are washed, that’s all."
"No," Andrea shook her head, watching Tina move around the living room. "You’re scrubbed, and all. We’re expecting company."
"If you must know, Angelica and her other mom is joining us."
Andrea perked up. "The mysterious Miss Porter?"
"Behave, Andie." Tina warned, before she was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"Best behavior." Andrea promised.
"Please."
"Have I ever given you reason to doubt me?"
"No, but you could be picking today to start." Tina replied, before picking up the phone. "Hello? Oh, hi, Helena."
Andrea stayed in the living room as Tina disappeared into the study/spare room. She glanced around, checking for telltale signs of changes Tina was making for their guest, and noticed how much neater the area was. The magazines were stacked, or in the magazine rack. Books in shelves. CDs in the shelf. Andrea glanced at where Tina had disappeared to, and smiled to herself. Looks like Angelica was on her way to possibly having just one house to call her home.

I sometimes eat my pizza with a fork, especially if it’s too hot to pick up or just too sloppy. =p Damn now I want some of that pizza in a box where all you do is throw it together in like 20 minutes or so (I can’t cook either shhhhh).
Yeah, I like your version of Angelica, too. She always has something pertinant to say. And she rarely cries or poops. That’s my kind of kid. And the ones old enough to feed themselves were pretty cute in this outing, too.
What fun that was. Andrea is seeing the pros at work here. Thanks for the post.
oh god help us you are going to introduce andie to alice aren’t you. B& T and the rest of better take cover!is bette going to look at the photo first though….?
Oh you’re so good. Thanks for writing.
IC may have given them a life but she also took that love away from them. Tiff you gave that love another chance to blossom. Andrea sees this and so do we. Love how Bette now sees that Andrea is a mini Alice. I too love the flirtatous behavoir, and jabs between Bette and Tina and how comfortable they have become around each other again. Will Bette say something about the picture that Tina tired to hide?
I never eat pizza with a fork, I think its funny to eat like that. Ok Angei is sweet, Bette and Tina is cute, Andrea is funny. OK post soon plesae, thanks!
tiffy savages come on!! i guess im a savage all the time then! haha good times!!
damn, you make these people so real. we do owe ic a debt of gratitude for b&t seasons 1/2. maybe we’ll see those people on screen again someday, but i don’t hold out much hope. thankfully we have you.
Your stories never cease to amaze me. Gotta love this. B&T going for it, regardless that friends and family may not be 100% behind. But, hey ya gotta go with your heart. Love Angelica, and Andrea, gives it all a fresh perspective. Andrea/Alice love it, can’t wait for more.
I just love the rhythm you’ve set with this saga. And the dialogue is so so amazing. Sometimes, I hear YOUR Bette and Tina talking in my head long after I’ve left the site. I think this is my favorite Tina ever–finally a true equal to Bette.
thank you for your story… looking forward to reading more.
so wonderful…the way you have with words and discriptions…amazing…love this story
Writing stories is something you’re very good at, are there any other things too……;)

love how angelica keeps repeating words. love also the sort of UST betwen b/t. more soon, please :)
Oh Tiff you’ve done it again, i couldn’t wait to read your chapter and wasn’t disappointed – they are all so cute together and i’m getting butterflies at this early stage of their courtship again. I love how you’re taking it slowly and the flirting is adorable – wish this was in the script for Season 3 would have made the show – thks for the speedy posts i’m lovin them!!!! HAPPY EASTER
LOL. too cute when angie echoed. eating pizza with hands are the best! and i’m gettin pizza for dinner tonite!woohoo~
How can you be so consistently perfect?I loved that Bette saw the picture on the mantle. This was a wonderful way to start my morning. Thank you
I’m glad that Bette and Tina are reconnecting. Very funny about the Alice reference. Who else is she going to interview??? As always, thanks for the time and effort in this story.
This chaper had me laughing, how do you come up with the goods Tiff each chapter is prize, 1st Prize everytime, your story is my favourite on this site, no disrepect to the other authors who post and there are alot of good authors on this site, yours just stands out at the present time, the dialogue is perfect really perfect. Thank you.
What a sweet family picture! That’s we call a family. lol
This was a fun chapter. Angie’s so cute I can eat her up! LOL. Andie really IS a mini version of Alice. I hope she does interview Alice and I’m sure they’ll get along famously. Come to think of it, will Andrea be an influence to Angelica or is that just a teenager thing? But then she also has Aunt Alice around to do that too. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of family life for B&T.
The visual of Angelica makes me smile. That is one cute kid.
delightful as always! this is such a treat! thank you :)
Cute and perfect
Just delightful. What a fun read. Yeah, Hooray for IC for giving us B & T but thank you tiff for giving them life and conversations of real, loving adults with a realistic amount of angst.
Very fun – wonderful dialogue and yes, pizza – eating with hands a must. Thanks :o)
