    Chandelier – 2

    "Hey!" Alice exclaimed, as Angelica suddenly took hold of her cellphone, and used it as her toy. "Hey, give it back!"

    Bette and Kit, previously having a discussion, glanced at where Alice was trying to coerce Angelica to relinquish her new toy.

    "Trouble, Al?" Bette asked politely.

    "What? No," Alice replied distractedly, before Angelica moved to put the phone in her mouth. "Angelica! No!"

    Shane quickly reached forward, and gently pulled the phone from Angelica’s hands, replacing it with a stuffed toy. She tossed the phone at Alice. "Here you go."

    "My, she’s got fast hands," Kit noted.

    "Like Bette." Alice muttered, examining the damage to her phone. She smiled sweetly at Bette as response to her friend’s death glare.

    "I should be going," Bette said, grabbing the baby bag that came with Angelica. "I promised Angelica a trip to the museum."

    "Isn’t she kind of, I don’t know, too young to be bored to death?" Alice asked.

    "She’s never too young to develop taste in art, Alice." Bette replied, picking up Angelica from her high chair. "You like art, don’t you, baby?"

    Angelica nodded.

    "See?" Bette told Alice.

    "She has no idea what you’re talking about, so that doesn’t count," Alice replied, as Lara approached to bring Bette the sandwich she’d ordered to go.

    "Actually—" Lara began, then stopped at Alice’s glare. She backtracked quickly. "That’s a good point."

    "She’s my child, so she’s starting early." Bette declared, adjusting her hold on Angelica.

    "I’m sure TK doesn’t have her watching movies day and night." Alice said, watching as Bette and Angelica faced each other. "Can she possibly look any more like you? You’re sure Angelica’s not blood related to you?"

    "She never stops talking, does she?" Lara asked Shane, taking the breakfast menu from Shane’s hands and replacing it with the lunch menu.

    "I was reading that," Shane protested.

    "Uh huh," Lara said flatly. "Now you’ll read that one."

    "It’s been fun, you guys." Bette smiled at Kit. "I’ll see you tonight, big sister."

    "Wouldn’t miss it. Angus can thrive on his own for a night," Kit smiled.

    "What’s tonight?" Alice asked. She pouted. "Why isn’t anyone telling me anything?"

    "I have Angelica for the night, and we," Bette smiled at her daughter, "are going to have Porter family time."

    "Why wasn’t I invited?" Alice asked.

    "Are you a Porter?" Kit asked.

    "Well, no."

    "Then don’t ask again." Kit told her.

    "Is that what your order is going to be for?" Lara asked Kit.

    Kit nodded.

    Lara looked up at Bette. "Is Angelica allergic to anything?"

    "Men," Alice coughed, earning her another glare from Bette.

    Shane kicked Alice under the table.

    Bette smiled tightly at Lara. "Not too fond of ketchup."

    "You poor thing," Alice told Angelica. "I bet you’re a wasabi sauce kind of gal, huh?"

    Angelica stared at her silently for a few seconds, then sought refuge behind her mother.

    "Jeez, Al, did you scare my daughter?" Bette turned to Angelica. "Did the scary reporter frighten you, Angel?"

    "When are you bringing Angelica to Tina?" Shane asked.

    "We’re meeting here tomorrow, probably around lunch." Bette told her.

    "Why not just go to each other’s homes?" Lara inquired.

    "House." Alice corrected. "Porter here insists TK’s place of residence is not her proper home."

    "Tina insists that we keep our interactions limited to public places," Bette told Lara, ignoring Alice.

    Lara lifted an eyebrow.

    "Not what you’re thinking." Bette said quickly.

    "Told you, when it comes to you and TK, that’s the automatic response." Alice told her.

    Bette grimaced. "Angelica, we should go."

    "’Bye, baby girl." Kit told Angelica.

    "’Bye," Alice, Shane and Lara all waved at the Porter mother-daughter tandem.

    "Bye." Angelica returned, waving back.

    Bette grinned. Yes, this was her daughter.

    4. TD, Please continue this tale. I need to understand how Bette and Tina broke u pand more to the point how they will face the future together apart. You haev the skills and dedication to make this a believable situation. Don’t abondon me now in these dark times. Story was perfect from the innocence of Angelica to Alice’s big mouth. Can’t wait to read your next chapter. Your Loyal Fan.

    5. absolutely cute…love alice even if she talks too much but bettelica is just adorable…my automatic responce was that tina doesn’t trust herself alone with bette…because who would? love this story, post soon

    6. Notice that Alice is Alice anywhere she is.always ready with a remark,Trying to gloat Bette in anyway she can. With Anfelica she will be a wee bit of all of them.

    7. Great update. You must have some wicked sense of humor, the characters show that you do and I love it. Love this story. With all these aunts around Angelica will develop an adult sense of humor early on and it will serve her well in the future. If nothing but to deal with the family of friends. Thanks for the post.
