“Absolutely.” Tina still laughing sat up on the bed and swung her legs over the edge. She had a huge smile on her face, happy. “I would really like that.”
“Yes!” Angie pumped her fist. She glanced over at Bette who has now moved to the end of the bed as well and sat right beside Tina. Their thighs touching. “Mom, can you join us?”
“Maybe your Mama would like some alone time with you.” Bette turned and quickly looked at Tina and then back at Angie. “You haven’t seen one another in over a month. Not since you went to Toronto for that long weekend last month.”
“It would be nice to spend some time together Ang.” Tina suggested to her daughter with a smile on her face.
“I’ll have a full day with the campaign tomorrow ladies.” Bette had a proposal. “How about if your Mama picks you and Jordi up after classes and you all hang out together. I can meet up with all of you later in the evening. Okay T?”
“Sounds like a plan Porter.” Tina responded, Bette’s closeness stirring her emotions. “Um… I want to meet and get to know Jordi. We can meet up for dessert after dinner back here at the house.”
“Great, it’s a deal. I’ll ask Jordi tonight when I call her before I go to sleep.” Angie agreed, just savoring the peacefulness with her two parents. She walked over to Bette and putsher arm around her shoulders. “Make Aunt Kit proud with your speech.”
“I will.” Bette swallowed hard as emotions bubbled to the surface for her as well with her family around her. Bette wrapped her left arm around Angie’s waist. “When did you get so wise?”
“I leaned it from you.” Angie smiled back as she squeezed her mom’s shoulder and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. She motioned to both of her parents. “I will never admit this again, so you might want to pay attention. Okay?’
Bette and Tina both glanced at each other with questioning looks on their faces. Both raised their eyebrows and looked back at Angie, nodding okay in unison.
“I actually DO listen to you sometimes. Both of you.”
“Tina,” Bette playfully swatted at her daughter as she stood up and laughed heartily, “Angie is SOOOOOOOO well behaved when you’re here. You have to stay.”
“Well, we have two weeks.” Tina smiled back up at Bette. “Let’s make the most of it.”
“Hey, let’s snap a selfie.” Angie proposed, reaching for her phone on the nightstand. “Mom, you take it. You have such long arms.”
“Oh my god.” Tina busted out laughing at what Angie just said. “You’re so right honey.”
Angie joined in laughing along with Tina.
“Hey, “Bette frowned at them both as she looked down at her still well-toned arms. “What’s wrong with my arms?”
“Oh Bette. Nothing.” Tina had tears in her eyes as she struggled not to laugh. “Angie’s just teasing you since you’re so tall and you can reach everything that we can’t.”
“Well, both of you will pay for that remark.” Bette grinned as she attacked both her girls with another bout of tickling. This time Bette took direct aim at Tina.
“Bette, stop.” Tina ‘s laughed, swatting at Bette’s hands as they tried to poke her body. Bette’s assault was relentless. “No, don’t.”
“Mama,” Angie called over to Tina, “get Mom when I hold her arms.”
“Hey, I heard that.” Bette laughed playfully, kneeling on the bed and reached behind her to grab Angie. “I can still take you two. Remember, I have long arms.”
More laughing, teasing, poking and giggling followed from the three ladies. It felt good to be a joyful family again. They all ended up on the bed again, twisting and turning. It was some time before the selfie ever got taken of the Porter – Kennards.
It was well worth the wait . . .

This is a very good chapter….family time. Tina reconnecting with Angie and realizing how much she misses by not living in the same house with her daughter. Everything is going well. Why do I get the feeling this is the calm before the storm?
The explanation of why Tina left that she gave her daughter was just the superficial story. It seems a shallow, but perhaps that is all that Tina wanted her daughter to know. The part about “I wanted you to have two whole parents and not one and half.” That to me says that once Tina was whole, she would reunite with her family, but she got a divorce instead. We have a lot more to go to find out what happened that made Tina decide that the best path for her life was away from Bette. And does Bette know what happened to break them up?
Tina appears to be in the same mindset as she announced upon arrival. She is here to support her family in their time of need, and then she is off to her new life. But, hey, its only been a day. There is still another two weeks to find out what is going on with Tina and what her future intentions are. Perhaps we will find out why she left and why she felt like only a half of a person.
Great writing….nice flashback with the car scene. And no way is Angie ever getting that car. She has had that car for what 20 years? Why would she give it up now?
I am liking this story….look forward to knowing more about what is going on with Tina and with Bette. And is there hope for them to be reunited in the future?
Thanks….
Hi Martha,
Thanks for your continued support for this story!
Yes, Tina’s simple explanation for her departure from her marriage and family is just the surface of the underlining issue. We’ll get to all that as the chapters unfold. Hey, like any story, it;s got to be told in stages, Lots more to come.
And you’re right – it’s only still the first day. It might be fun to think that Tina & Bette would solve their problems instantly, but that would be way too soon.
I thought the flashback scenes would provide some interesting situations for our fav couple & bring a little romance into the story because right now there’s just thinking and analyzing going on.
The car scene was a way to have them connect in happier times.
Stay tuned for more fun stuff to happen!!!
Thanks so much.
Stay safe!
Thank you for the chapter!
I like Bette’s trip down memory line about her Saab (by the way good that this car still existed in your story, because like I remember last we see it in s3 TLW).
And of course great family time between three of them – love it. But about next hangout Tina with Angie and Jordie – I don’t remember – does Tina know about Jordie influence – skip classes, smoking a pot?
Happy Monday Zhenya,
Thanks as always for reading.
Although Bette can be very progressive & up to date on many things, she has a sense of history & she cherishes those things for her family. As I have noted, that car has a lot of memories for her & she won’t let it go, not even to her daughter.
Tina will explore the issues with Jordi’s behavior in the next few chapters. Remember, she’s Mama Bear, so she’ll be looking out for her baby cub – Angie!!
Thanks again for your support.
See ya next chapter!!!!!
Wonderful chapter!
I miss them as a family! Gen Q crushed my heart and i hope you will heal it.
The memory of the Saab was so sweet and romantic.
There are still feelings between them and the explanation Tina gave was to simple but maybe that is what Angie needed to hear. Tina. To be whole again didn’t meant she had to divorce Bette.
I am looking forward to the whole explanations about Tina’s reason to leave her family. They still love each other so much. It must be so hard for Bette to hold in her feelings while Tina is there.
I love the funny parts in your story, keep Them coming!
Thank you!
Hi Bibi,
Hope your week ahead is great.
Another chapter in!!!!!
Tina is a slow burn at the moment, but things will heat up for her soon!
Yes there are definitely still deep & strong feelings on both sides for them. But Tina needs to work through that & get to a happy place for both herself & her family. She has a lot to make amends for.
With this story, I wanted to offer some sweet moments & HOPE!!!!
We are all experiencing traumatic situations world wide with this Covid 19 pandemic & the mess that was season 1 on Gen Q. I thought a little lighter storyline would be appreciated.
At this time, we all need to believe that happy endings do still exist if we work for them.
Yes, Bette is having a hard time, but is also super cautious about getting her heart broken again.
One more chapter for this timeline day & then we move forward to the next two weeks of action.
Glad you are enjoying the humor I try to instill in the story.
Will post again soon.
Keep safe!
Thanks
I love the way you are unfolding this. There are so many options for how these two ended apart. I think the one consistent thing is that they still love each other. Angie is definitely the bond for both, but once she is grown the bond will have to be sustainable for Bette and Tina. I guess we will find out if they have done enough work on themselves.
Ya got me intrigued…

Hi SuperK,
Thanks so very much for your comments & interest.
I love your stories too!!!!!!
Yeah, its a bit of that slow burn right now as we establish some ground work for them. There are many chapters to come & much more togetherness for them.
We get little hints from Angie as to how Bette has changed & a few thoughts from Tina as well. Through Bette’s actions we will see if she really has changed for the better. This goes for Tina as well.
We all know that actions speak so much louder than words.
I wanted this Tina to be stronger and have a voice in her destiny & not be pushed around like she was in OG & now in Gen Q.
Yes, Angie is their glue at the moment & will always be their link to each other. Since the pilot episode of OG, Bette & Tina have wanted a family. We will discover if they have the fortitude to bring that family back together for the future.
Thanks so much!!!!!!
Still playing catch up and enjoying it!
Love the family connection and obvious love the three of them have for each other.
Flashbacks are a great addition to the story.
Why though. Is Tina staying in an Hotel? That does not seem right.
Waiting for you to take me further on this great ride but have to sleep now. Be back catching up tomorrow.
Stay safe
SG
Update for SassyGran,
About Tina & the hotel – she won’t presume that she would stay at Bette’s house when she returned to LA – would she?
Chapter 5 reveals a little more about this & then Chapter 6 answers your question for sure!
Glad that you are enjoying the adventure.
Lots more to tell & explore.
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Sleep well & stay safe!
