"Oh, wait, you’ve got to hear this," Tina said suddenly, sitting down beside Bette, and turning to Angelica. "Angel, honey?"
Angelica turned to her, grinning.
"Baby, what’s my name?" Tina asked. "What’s my name, my little Angel?"
Angelica giggled. "Mama."
"Oh my God!" Alice and Shane exclaimed, leaning forward.
"First word?" Alice guessed.
"Good choice, huh?" Tina grinned. "I was getting worried that she hasn’t really started talking, but it turns out she’s right on track. Now that she’s started she just might not stop."
"Just like Porter," Alice cracked, as she and Tina burst out laughing.
Bette watched Angelica. "First words, Angel?"
Angelica beamed at her.
Bette glanced at Tina, who was still waxing rhapsodic to Alice and Shane over the first time she’d heard it from her daughter.
Angelica, enjoying the attention her speech skills garnered, stopped talking long enough to study her other mother. Bette smiled, loving Angelica’s earnest gaze. "You love the attention, don’t you?"
Angelica grinned.
"Tina, you’re clearly enjoying yourself, are you sure you have to go to the office?" Helena asked, returning to the table, two cups on her tray. "Honey lemon tea, yes?"
"Yes, thank you." Tina smiled at her boss.
Bette kept her gaze on Angelica, wishing not to have to witness how Helena was attending to Tina’s needs.
"So what is this demonstration you’ve been so eager for me to see?" Helena asked, curious. "And why must we be with your friends for it?"
Bette glanced at Tina, who only gave her a brief smile.
"Angelica said her first word." Tina told Helena.
"Intriguing," Helena smiled.
"Hold on, Kit should see this," Shane said suddenly, springing up from her seat.
Alice turned to Helena. "So if it’s not Tina, who the hell have you been dating?"
As Alice and Helena talked, Bette glanced at Tina. "Thank you."
"For?" Tina asked innocently.
"Letting be one of the second people to hear her say her first word."
"Third." Tina corrected.
"Third?" Bette asked, disappointed.
"My sitter was waiting for her parents to pick her up when Angelica said it last night."

Fresh air breezes in from the door….ahhhh a wonderful feeling of ….. hope. tks!!
Awww I could totally see Angelica beaming as she says, “Mama!” That little girl needs her own show. I’d watch it. :)
Simply amazing. Just a joy to read.
Lets get rid of Tina Nasty on the show and just show Angie. At least she is trying to get Angie to say Mama B. Love that kid can’t you see her smiling. thanks
Always enjoy your deft handling of character, T.D., as well as Alice’s embracing a new sparring partner. If anybody can pump some life into Lara, you can.
Thanks for such a hopeful and satisfying chapter.
It was nice to read that at least Bette and Tina have a slight chance of getting their act together. And thanks for not bringing you know who in. It also nice to hear that Dana is still kicking. Thanks for a wonderful story.
I’ve been staying away from fanfics after the 2nd episode of this season, cuz man things get really ugly not only on boards but in the fics comments too.. I’m sure you’re well aware of that.. But to actually have one of my favourite writers still writing something I wouldn’t wanna stop reading after the first page – no matter how good the writing is – cuz it’s just as painful as what IC is giving us, is like a gift from above.. Thank you..
You’re right…Tina on the show is bannanas. Thanks for this very enjoyable chapter. It’s interesting to see Bette still secretly besotted with T.
Good chapter!
yes! continue please, this will be very interesting, angelica is so cute tell her first words! i hope B&T find the way to be together again cause their interaction is nice they are no figthing anymore. very good chapter
A stupid grin came unto my face when I realized Dana was still alive in this story. The character will be missed.
juz what i need. road to healin. you are the best!
“Tina on the show is out of her effing mind.” LOL, yes. Please help cure her insanity… for all our sakes.
Terrific as always. And I agree somebody’s out of their mind on the flippin’ show. But it ain’t Tina. It’s in the front office.
I’m in switzerland right now…You’ll be amazed by the girls ! Love your story, really do !
Thank you for keeping my spirits up, please continue.And yes, S3 Tina is mentally ill.
Happy that this Tina is trying to show some progress. One thing that has not been dealt with on the show and that is that she could be dealing with post- parteum depression. No one has addressed tht and she has not been to the doctor for her feelings that she has been having. Let’s hope this is the reason for the man thing and other feelings she is having. As we all know strange things happen with postparteum.Thanks for the post.
Love it:)
TD,You MUST continue this story. All the Bette and Tina fans out here need your lightest of touch with these gals to bring them back to one another. Great beginning to a fantastic ride. Please write more soon. Your Loyal Fan.

TD, whats with the ? marks you know we want you to continue, you are making something IC could have done w/ Season 3, other than the stuff we are having to endure each week. I stopped watching after episode 9 *shudder*. I love your stories and hope you continue and esp on a daily basis :). And I agree Tina is out of her effin mind this season, and if that is really the case, maybe that will be season 4 tina and her dealing with her mental illness, one can hope *sigh* great work, hope to read more soon!
