Chandelier – 22
Here Henry had asked her what she intended to do about Bette, which she recalled not answering very well.
What it all came down to, clearly, was her complete inability to be anything else but someone who loved Bette Porter. She had tried, more than once, to not be that person. But Bette made her whole, made her complete, made her be more than who she was. Being with Bette filled her in ways she didn’t realize she was lacking.
She didn’t need Bette, at least not in the way that she was a shadow of herself without the other, but the brunette certainly made her feel that she was a better person.
Eric had suffered the consequence of that feeling. He never made her feel like she was the only person who mattered. Selfish, yes, but Bette had a way of making that feeling completely true, and justifiable.
"You look deep in thought," the familiar voice of the woman in question noted, as she appeared beside the blonde.
Tina looked up, smiling briefly at Bette, and then down at Angelica on her stroller. "Hi."
Angelica looked up, brightening. She took the breadstick Tina had in her hand, then held her arms out, a gesture Tina obliged by picking her daughter up.
"You two are hopelessly inseparable," Bette noted, smiling.
"You intend to change that, B?" Tina joked, nuzzling her nose with Angelica’s.
"Is that permission to try?" Bette asked.
Tina grinned at her. "You need permission now?"
Bette smiled, and glanced at the menu on the table. "Have you ordered?"
"Just a plate of fries, but feel free to pick something."
"I thought you were leading."
"This isn’t a date." Tina pointed out.
"Oh, really? Beachside, hiding from the gang? Signs of a date, if you ask me," Bette replied.
"Uh huh, do you recall what we were like when we were dating?" Tina asked, placing Angelica on the high chair beside her and Bette.
Angelica chewed on the breadstick, glancing from one parent to another.
Bette lifted an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"You could barely contain yourself around me," Tina reminded.

LOL!!!!!!! Loved the Great Fry Debate. Angelica is such a cutie-pie and Tina really is great with her. “You look good enough to eat.” Fofofo I do believe Bette won that round. ;)
okay…bring on Thursday night, Tiff. Thanks for the update.
Love it, love it, love it. So cute, and I like that they’re trying to ‘do it right.’ Looking forward to more!
Nice to see ya Tiff. Nice update.
I kind of feel like Bette’s still an outsider to the family. And the idea of separating their love life from their family life is… rotten. Bette would never become part of the family by that way.
GREAT AS USAL TIFF.BRING ON THURSDAY NITE ALSO AND LOVE THE INTER ACTION GOING ON WITH TIBETTE AND ANGEL SHE IS TOOOO CUTE FOR OWN GOOD!does this mean we have to wait till thursday for another one tiff?LOL
Wonderful storytelling. Tiff..you’re great. Post soon, if you can. Always a pleasure to read your stories.
LOL small hand small plate!
Hopefully, Tina will realize that they can’t put their love life on hold again just because Angelica is now part of their lives. Hasn’t she learned from experience? Of course they’ll have to be more discrete in front of Angelica but a little PDA is okay. Great update. Please…more.
ha fries good times!! take the compliment tiffy!! u rock my socks!!
iam so going to use that’small hand small plate’ argument when i have a kid! great update!!
You must spend time with children. I love how you have Tina communicate with Angelica. It is just not no, but she used visual aids to allow Angelica to see for her self that she has the smaller of the two hands. Thus she has the smaller portion of the fries. This is a story that I could never pass up and one that brings a soft glow to my heart. Both Tina and Bette are growing up in their relationship to each other. Thanks for the post on this important day that we celebrate our Mothers.
I don’t know why I insist on taking trips into denialville, but damnit Tiff if you are the conductor I will gladly follow! :) Angelica is so adorable in this story. I actually like your tina, quite different from the show.
They are so cute and fun, Angel is so cute and sweet. Ok now let see what Bette do on thursday and hope see some hot hot. OK post soon please, thanks!
That child is so cute, Love the interaction between Her and Tina. Bette and Tina also. thanks
i really love angelica! she wants the big fry plate! i hope they can move on! excellente post so sweet
this story is such a delight i can never have enough of it…the best dialogs ever…angie is such a cutie and i love the way tina is with her
Poor Angelica. She’s learning a hard lesson in sharing 101.
Wow, Angelica’s so young to be having ‘supersize it’ urges. But then her mothers have sometimes been known for their appetites.
woohoooooooooooooo!! sure nice to see ya. great update..am waiting for the next one up.
I’m counting the days, three nights to go and its THURSDAY!!!! *doing happy dance*
I liked the look inside Tina’s brain and how Bette enters and shakes up her thoughts again. They will be figuring out, changing and negotiating their roles (parents, lovers, professionals, friends) for a long time to come, and in your capable hands it should be very interesting. Cute chapter. On to the date!
Excellent Update ! ***** Thank You ******
I freakin love how you write the Porter-Kennard trio <3
And you portray Bette's occasional confusion with the Angie/Tina unique relationship so well! She's absolutely fascinated by the special understanding those two have. And is also absolutely adorable whenever Tina is forward with her or puts her in her place lol
