"What are you doing here?" Bette asked Tina, recognizing Angelica’s pre-sleep cuddling.
"Um, your call earlier." Tina said, referring to the phonecall that had interrupted her after-dinner drinks with Ally, of Bette asking what to do in case Angelica raised hell and refused to acknowledge any means of bribery.
"Oh, that." Bette smiled sheepishly. "I forgot to powder her up before I changed her diaper. Apparently that was not a good decision."
"Oh." Tina hesitated now.
"Yeah," Bette nodded.
Angelica looked up at her, then at Tina, and gave Tina an expression, as if to say, it was her turn now.
"Well, I thought I’d check in. I know a cry for help when I hear it," Tina smiled weakly at her. "I guess it was just time for me to answer yours."
"You sweet talker." Bette teased, then smiled, bending her head to kiss Tina, in a slow, tender kiss that related her understanding of Tina’s statement. Tina wasn’t just talking about tonight and the earlier phone call, there were other phone calls Tina was referring to, and they both knew it.
"I can’t believe you drove out this late." Bette told her.
I can, Tina thought, watching Bette and Angelica as mother and daughter exchanged glances and smiles, the way Angelica slumped wholeheartedly against her mother, trusting her with her whole being.
"What’re you lookin’ at, Miss Kennard?" Bette asked teasingly.
Tina smiled faintly. "You two look so alike."
"Here," Bette handed Angelica to Tina. "Hold her a minute."
"Okay," Tina glanced questioningly at Angelica as Bette disappeared into the house. Tina smiled weakly at her daughter, who seemed to disapprove of the level of lame that her excuse had been. "Don’t look at me like that, okay, I’m not as smooth as you or your other mom."
Angelica looked up at her.
Tina’s heart melted even more at her daughter’s gaze. Sometimes, Angelica looked at her with the exact same gaze Bette would have, and it was in those moments that Tina knew her family would always include Bette, whether or not her rational mind believed it. Her heart did, and Angelica was proof of that.
Angelica yawned, and Tina knew it was time to hand the child over to Bette. "B."

Alice watched them for a moment, then turned to Shane. “I want to have an Angelica.” “What are you looking at me for?” Shane retorted. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that! This chapter was so cute. Bette’s just lucky she went to a school that’s easy for a little kid to pronounce. =p
YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE! THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB TIFFPLEASE POST SOON
ok after reading my line….”shes so gay she str8, except everyone knows i say “am so gay am str8!!!” hell its even my msn alias. LOL!!!! I had to stop and say this…back to reading…….
Another great chapter as always.
That’s great. I’m glad to see Tina finally want a marriage with Bette.
I am so happy that they are trying so hard to work out their issues. The road is still bumpy but not as many pot holes as before. It is nice to see that Tina now wants to be Bette’s wife in every way. This could be the wedding of the century. The two queens of the ball with the baby walking in between them smiling her little heart out. I can’t stop smiling and I now have a warm giddy heart. I now can go to bed and sleep soundly.
TD….I love your story. The dialogue is funny and real. Don’t end it. It’s a story for grown-ups…..intelligently written.
Marriage? Why I almost choked on my mango sorbet!
Wheeeeeee!
What a wonderful story, hope we get the proposal
:-)
“… the level of lame”! Your writing is really out of the ordinary. I can’t wait for more :-)
Tiff..as usual, you always manage to amaze me with your writing and the perfect dialogue. I just adore this story, and it’s just so funny how baby A really does look like B.perfect mixture of B and T’s personality traits. I love everything about this story, and the proposal is soooo overdue. You’re amazing Tiff, and i hope to see a new chapter soon. I can’t wait!
Tiff…..your writing is just so excellent. Keep it up, girl!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!! Altough I’m not a great fan of marriage, for them it’ll do.
This is wonderful and awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m out of all the compliments tonight because your story is so amazing and briliant that i dont’s know what else to say…cute, funny, charming and *hurray* for marriage
aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh that was ssssoooo nice!!! love Angelica; love your writing, massive
simply beautiful
wow this just gets better and better. little Angelica is so cute! I’m glad Tina is stepping up to the plate to move this reunion in the right direction. I always felt that Bette in her ‘alpha’ nature catered to Tina too much. It is good that you have Tina showing Bette she really wants to be with her forever. good job as always, swimmie!
sorry Tiff, that comment was for you but I put the wrong author at the bottom. I meant everything except the word swimmie! forgive me, it’s 6 in the morning!
Thanks for another excellent chapter.
I love the interaction between Bette and Angelica…it’s so sweet. This story is so well written…I wish these scenes can be acted out by the actual actors…that would be so awesome. I am glad they are talking more and hopefully a NC-17 is coming soon as well as a wedding. Please post soon.
Ok, so apart from again falling more in love with your story, i see that you have a hotmail account…i’ve already added you to my msn contacts…what would i say if I ever saw you online? I’d probably freeze…you have no idea how in awe of you I am…ok enough with the hero worship! :) Loving the pace of your story…loving the effort you put in to each line…you’re a master.
that was perfect..thanks for the update
This is me curling up in a little ball of happiness… YAY!
WOW !!!!!! Did not see that coming. BUt it is great. Thank you
I so dig this story.
Hey TD, More with the hilarity and cuteness as you continued to show the best of Angelica with her moms. It was brilliant to have her at the Planet and entertaining the gang. Alice and Shane and then Lara had me LOL and getting strange looks from my work mates. Note to self: Read TD’s chapters during breaks and lunch not working hours. And as for the proposal; an ‘aw suchs’ scene if ever there was one. I love the way that both are having to work at this relationship and their open approach to this task. Too much hurt has occurred so they are both willing to compromise for the greater good. And yip, Angel is a sweetheart. Let the good times roll as there is so much stil untold and only your fair hand can bring that to your audience. Thank you for this delicious drama. Your Loyal Fan.
woooooooooohhhhooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
How you piece everything together… such genius. A pro to being away – enjoying multiple posts from creative authors like you. Thank you for writing.
