"That was, of course, because I was — " Bette frowned at Tina. "You weren’t any better, T."
"Yes, so how good an idea do you think it is to have our one-year-old in the same room as us when we’re dating?" Tina pointed out.
"Are you saying–" Bette frowned. "What are you saying?"
"I’m saying our roles with Angelica is different from when we date."
"How do you separate those two?"
"Well, just at first. Just while we’re figuring out the differences, you know, figure out how where we fit in each other’s lives."
Bette laughed. "I don’t need to figure that out, I already know. I think you do, too, and you’re just… fidgety."
Tina shook her head. "This is different. We’re mothers. We’re mothers who can’t risk our parental responsibilities for our personal relationship."
"What do you mean?" Bette queried, confused.
"I mean, when we date, whatever goes on with us as a couple, we have to separate that from how we are with Angelica."
"What, like if we’re dating and I get to second base, I better not do that in front of our daughter?" Bette asked.
"Exactly."
"T, you’re missing the point."
"What point?"
"The fact that we can’t ever separate the two. You gave me this lecture before, I don’t know why I have to give it to you now."
"What lecture?"
"That we’re not just one part of who we are. You’re Angelica’s mom, and a studio executive, and the woman I intend to spend the rest of my life with." Bette told her. "You see how it works?"
"I know, but — " Tina was cut off by a piece of breadstick flying between her and Bette. They both turned to Angelica, who was staring at the now-broken breadstick with curiosity. She turned to Tina, ready to share recent events. "Mama."
"What happened, baby?" Tina asked, immediately placing her attention from Bette to the girl Alice insisted on describing as mini-Bette. Tina’s inquiry prompted Angelica to relate in detail just what had happened.
As the two talked, Bette regarded Tina, still reeling from Tina’s request. Keep their lovelife away from their family life? Was that even possible?

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
