"What?" Bette asked blankly, interrupted from her order.
Tina glanced at her, and smiled weakly. "Not you. Angelica."
"Oh." Bette watched as Tina hesitated, then offered the fry she’d taken a bite from. Angelica happily traded in her broken breadstick for the fry. Bette turned back to the waiter.
Tina picked up a new fry, and saw Angelica regarding her with suspicion. "Finish the one you’re eating already, baby."
Angelica glanced at her fry, then the one in Tina’s hand.
Bette finished making the order, and reached for a fry.
"Mine." Angelica declared, stopping both her parents.
"Uh oh," Tina said, while Bette turned to the little girl.
"What was that, baby?" Bette inquired.
Angelica looked at them both. "Mine."
"Yours, what?"
"Mine," Angelica said, pointing to the plate of fries.
"Oh, no," Bette shook her head. "This is for everyone. Yours," Bette pointed to her, "Mama T," pointing at Tina, "and mine." She pointed to herself.
"Mine." Angelica repeated slowly, firmly, as if Bette was just misunderstanding her.
Bette glanced at Tina. "Your turn."
Tina turned to Angelica. "You want the fries?" She asked, pointing at the plate.
Angelica nodded.
"No, see, we’re sharing," Tina pointed out. "This plate? Ours."
Angelica ignored her, reaching for the plate.
Tina held her firmly on the chair, until Angelica looked at her in the eye. "Angel."
Angelica pouted.
Tina looked at her. "Sit."
Angelica reluctantly settled in her seat.
Tina took a handful of fries, and placed it on the kid plate in front of her daughter. "Your fries."
Angelica glanced at the small plate, then back at the serving plate.
Tina frowned at her. "Hey."
Angelica looked at her.
Tina held out her hand, which Angelica mimicked.
"What are you doing?" Bette asked.
Tina glanced at her briefly, then back at the younger Porter. "Who has the small hand?"
Angelica glanced at her hand, flat against her mother’s.
"Right. You do. Small hand, small plate. And until you can pay for your own plate, you’re getting the smaller serving."
Bette watched as Angelica and Tina looked at each other, the debate going on in their eyes. She had to admit, it was fun watching Tina’s strong-willed pigheadedness confronted with the one person she would have a very hard time saying ‘no’ to.
Finally, Angelica turned to her plate of fries, resignation quickly being replaced by delight as the size of the plate apparently did not diminish the taste of the french fries.
"So authoritative," Bette joked, as both Tina and Angelica ended their argument.
Tina smiled. "I love that she hardly cries."
"True," Bette agreed.
Tina glanced at Angelica, then back at Bette. She smiled. "You look nice, B."
Bette started. "What?"
"You look nice."
"Are we dating right now?" Bette asked, puzzled.
"I’m just saying, you look nice." Tina smiled. "Take a compliment, B."
"I –" Bette smiled. "Thank you."
Tina smiled, and picked up a french fry.
"You look good enough to eat." Bette said casusally, and smirked at her own return compliment, watching Tina’s face turn red as she averted her gaze, turning her face away as if it would hide the blush.
Angelica also watched as her mother turn a shade of red she’d hardly seen before.
Bette smiled. "Take the compliment, T."
Tina turned to her abruptly.
Bette was caught off-guard, startled by the intense look in Tina’s expression. Uh oh.
Tina looked at Bette intently. "I have a question."
"Here?" Bette asked, slightly panicked. "Now?"
Tina leaned forward. "What are you doing Thursday night?"

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
