"Oh." Bette pouted.
"Don’t worry, babe, I’m working on getting her to say ‘Mama B’ now." Tina laughed as means of reassurance, completely missing her use of her term of endearment for Bette.
Alice glanced at where Bette, Tina and Angelica were huddled together, and smiled to herself.
Helena followed Alice’s line of vision. "Click, click, click."
Alice frowned at her. "What?"
"The wheels of your head, turning." Helena shook her head. "You’re staying out of this one, my dear Alice."
"But–" Alice frowned at her. "Spoilsport." She glanced one more time at the trio. "Still, that’s a heckuva family."
"That, they are." Helena agreed.
"What’s this I hear about my niece saying her first word?" Kit asked, joining the table, Shane trailing her.
Angelica glanced around, suddenly aware of her grown audience.
Bette adjusted her hold on her daughter, while Tina held onto Angelica’s tiny hands. "Baby, what’s my name?"
Angelica looked at her.
"What’s my name, Angel?" Tina asked.
Angelica brightened. "Mama!"
"Ohhh," Kit said, touched.
Helena smiled. "That’s wonderful, Tina."
"I know," Tina grinned at her, and returned her attention to her daughter. "Well, babe, Mama’s off to work now. Your Mama B’s going to take care of you, and don’t be any trouble, okay?"
Angelica nodded, as if understanding her. Tina leaned forward, and kissed her daughter’s cheek. "I’ll miss you."
Bette tried, she really did, to fight off all her senses, as they were assaulted by Tina’s proximity. The blonde hair, the so-familiar scent of the shampoo she used. Her soap.
Literally, so close, but so very far away.
"’Bye, Angel." Tina waved at Angelica, who returned the wave. "Argh, you’re adorable. I’m never gonna be able to let you out of my sight." With that, she got out of her seat. She grabbed her papercup of tea, and waved to her friends. "I have to go."
"Wait," Lara said, approaching the table. The group all looked at her. "Postcard."
They all looked at her, puzzled, as Lara handed the card to Alice.
Alice read the card aloud. "Ladies, Switzerland’s beyond boring but European women aren’t. Tennis training’s been good, cancer recovery clinics aren’t fun. Should be back soon. Love, Dana."
"Switzerland," Bette mused. "Dana would be bored."
"Should she really be dating while in recovery?" Helena inquired.
"Almost dying? I’d be humping anything on two legs," Alice joked.
Small silence.
"You don’t need to almost die for that," Lara muttered in a stage whisper.
Alice gaped at her. "Oh my God."
"What?" Lara asked, alarmed.
"Al, you had it coming," Shane said quickly. "Anyone could’ve made that joke."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Alice was almost beside herself in shock, jumping out of her seat and throwing her arms around Lara. "A new sparring partner!"

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!
