"That’s not funny." Tina frowned at her, although a part of her had to admit, it was funny that Angelica, who shouldn’t really understand much, had a better perspective of this situation that she did. She smiled faintly, tangling her fingers in her daughter’s soft, curly hair. "How did I live without you?"
Angelica smiled at her, reminding Tina how much the child resembled her other mother. Tina gazed wondrously at her daughter, and thought of how this was going to pan out with Bette.
Later, after dinner and dessert, and Angelica finally falling asleep, Bette and Tina stood together by Tina’s car, once again finding themselves in the parking lot, this time at the back of The Planet.
"So I’ll see you tomorrow?" Bette asked, holding a sleeping Angelica in her arms.
Tina nodded, retrieving her keys from her purse. "Five-thirty?"
"Maybe six, I think I have a meeting at four."
Tina nodded. "Okay."
Angelica stirred in Bette’s arms.
Bette held her daughter closer. "Thank you."
"For?" Tina asked, opening the passenger side door, and placing the baby bag inside.
"Dinner." Bette smiled. "It was… fun."
"It was." Tina agreed, fixing everything in the car before turning back to Bette to take Angelica.
Bette hugged Angelica tightly, kissing her cheek lightly. "Goodnight, my Angel."
Angelica sleepily murmured, "mama," then went back to sleep.
Bette and Tina glanced at each other, surprise, amusement and utter adoration for their child evident in both their expressions.
"That’s going to be confusing," Tina noted.
"Who cares," Bette grinned, again planting a kiss on her daughter’s cheek before she handed the sleeping child to Tina, who placed her in the baby car seat.
With that done, the two women stood together awkwardly.
"She’s growing up pretty fast, isn’t she?" Bette asked.
"Yeah." Tina nodded. "A scary prospect, if you ask me."
"Scarier than her growing up to be like Alice?" Bette teased.
"Okay, that’ll be a nightmare," Tina conceded. "But I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to let her go."
Bette glanced at Angelica, then at Tina. "I can understand that."
Tina smiled. "Well, thank you for dinner."
Bette nodded, and stepped back. "I’ll see you tomorrow."
"Yup." Tina replied.
Then she grabbed the back of Bette’s neck and pulled her closer, finally doing what she’d wanted to for three months already.
Except that didn’t happen: they continued to stand there, letting the awkward tension continue.
"So I’m gonna go," Tina finally said, moving to the driver’s side of the car.
Bette nodded. "Yeah." She closed the passenger car door, and watched as Tina got into the car.
She remained mute and frozen as she watched the car disappear.
For some reason she was completely unable to say what she needed to.

i’m so happy that your chapters are longer now.
i can’t wait till you get them together already… they belong together… love this story
One of these days Tina’s going to plant one on Bette. One of these days I won’t have an exam the next day (that’ll be in about 7-8 months). Now that I’ve had my fix, back to the books.
This just keep getting better and better,Lets get those two together. Thanks

This continues to get better and better. Thank you for your time and devotion to this story!
tks, are you spoiling us with it’s added length…ok, well just a couple of lines longer…but see we appreciate it so much…tks
I will not curse your Tibette heart! If I did then I would curse my own heart, only you can place your heart into a tender loving story. All mine can do is read these stories and day dream. Let your heart continue to bring these happy stories to us.
this chapter was so good! i almost fall down when i readed about the Kiss until i read the next line and it never happened! but i hope soon they kiss lovely!
Thank you once again, Tiff. We need this story. Think you can drag it out for many months? post soon
How cute is Angelica. I love this story. It’s quite therapeutic.
I know it’s driving some people insane how Bette and Tina get so close yet don’t act on their feelings, but I think it’s cute. Right now they are like 2 teenagers in that awkward stage before becoming exclusive. Except these 2 are adults who have to work things out before jumping in the sack or their actions will be cheapened.
Just love your story, each chapter is a delight to read, thanks for continuing with this story.
I just died laughing at the “a world of no” thought Bette had about Gabby holding baby Jeli. Loved your post. I’m going to check back a few more pages. I think I missed a post. You are becoming quite prolific.
From a certain phone message of ¡§I want¡¨ to the ¡§didn¡¦t want¡¨, Bette has certainly changed/grown/matured. ¡§She didn’t want it, but it wasn’t a surprise how happy she felt doing what she did not want to want.¡¨ I believe Buddhism teaches letting go of one¡¦s needs in order to gain spiritually. Perhaps this is the way for Bette to have a family again!! Knowing that this will lead to ¡§Pick A Part¡¨ soothe any fears, doubts, insecurities and tip-toeing with these ladies worthwhile. Thank you for the update, tiff.
TD,Such a breath of fresh air as Bette and Tina slip into the easy conversation of friends. Things are slowly moving forward as they each realize and appreciate what they had and how they lost it. Being civil with each other is a great step and more so knowing that they both want more but only are too scared to tempt fate further at the moment. You have such a wonderful way with words. My heart follows accordingly, ups and down. Thank you for sharing this awesoem gift with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Just keeps getting better. Please Post Soon
