#FanficChallenge #Ep7 Telling Angie
Login to add story to favorites
Looking at her fidgeting parents, Angie couldn’t take the tension that had started to build the minute the dishes had been cleared from the table. “Okay, tell me already!”
“What?” Bette asked nervously, trying unsuccessfully to sound like she didn’t know what Angie was talking about.
“Whatever has you guys so…twitchy,” she responded, starting to get nervous that maybe she had done something wrong.
“Okay,” Tina took a deep breath, believing that since this was about her and Carrie that she should be the one to do the telling.
“You know that Carrie and I have been seeing each other for about a year now…”
“Yeah, she’s cool,” Angie interrupted. “And, her job is lit!” Angie smiled as she thought about sitting next to Carrie at the piano as she seemed to pick notes out of thin air when writing music.
Tina smiled at her daughter, happy to know that Angie liked Carrie and didn’t resent her place in Tina’s life.
“Well, as you know…” she stopped and rubbed her forehead. “Carrie and I are very committed to our relationship, and…well…the next step in a relationship like ours…”
Angie snuck a look at her mama B, as the reason for this family talk became clearer, knowing the pain she was feeling but so valiantly trying to hide.
“…is to…well, to get married, and…” Tina took a big breath, “well, Carrie and I are going to do just that…” Her breath catching in her throat, she squeaked, “…get married.” She sagged back against the sofa, relieved that the words were finally out of her mouth.
“We wanted to tell you here, in our home, so that you would feel safe to be honest about your feelings.” Bette added. She wanted Angie to see that she was okay, even though she totally wasn’t, but that was for a later time with a different audience. This conversation was about Angie.
Looking at her parents, Angie thought about how she felt. “This isn’t going to change anything is it? Like I’m not going to be moving, am I?” She asked hesitantly.
“No!” Bette and Tina answered again in unison. “This is not about taking anything away from you or our family,” Bette said as she reached down and took hold of Angie’s hand. “This is about expanding your family, not taking away. And, you will still be living here with me.”

Sorry, no too
Sorry, stopped with reading after one and a halve page. Not what i wish to read.
in agreement…by this is a palce for free creations..but this one is not for me.
Sorry but no !
A true Tibetter cannot take this
SG
I have so much ambivalence towards these characters now because of the inability of the show writers to write a storyline for a committed couple. Marriage can be messy and difficult sometimes, it does not always end in divorce. People do have the guts and desire to stay in a situation albeit complicated because they do love each other deeply. I love the different perspectives and styles of the writers taking on this challenge, it is balm on a wound created by poor directionless writing that has made our an iconic couple’s storylines a cliche.
Very brave to take this approach given the TiBetters have already made Carrie a hated character the likes of Jenny. Lovely story and gives background where the show writers miserably have failed. JB and LH are such wonderful actresses and know these characters so well that it is a shame the storylines are such a cliche.
I’m feeling a little sick…..Every child of divorced parents i know have a desire that they be married and living together. That is true even if they have been fighting and screaming at one another while they were together. I cannot imagine a child of 16 thinking and responding like this.
If Angie did not think that Bette needed Tina, she would never have called Tina to come to Bette’s aid after the attack incident. In this, I see that Bette is sad about this, And if this is such the right thing for Tina to do, why is she having such a hard time getting the words out? Why are they catching in her throat?
I cannot see Tina walking away from Bette, divorcing her and leaving her child for two years for occasional visits and what daily phone conversations? This is not the Tina I know!
this does indeed break my heart but this is really amazing and brave writing and i just love it for that reason. not sure how i see this woman who is somehow better for Tina than Bette but this is a great take on the usual show mearge offerings.. maybe if GEN Q gets a 3rd and 4th season we might see some sort of reunion but this tina remarrying situation is how the writers are dealing with LH limited availability – and an excuse to have JB giving us the full range of her acting skills. You are a brilliant writer Sea and you should keep writing –
Well done and thank you for giving us a psychologically credible explanation of the truly dire Tibette storyline that the show’s ‘writers’ have developed. I want to write a fanfic myself, in which they end up happy ever after, and which respects the canon, but so far I got nothin! You are a really good writer, Seahurst, bravo
Who knows? Maybe B&T will have an affair while Tina and Carrie are married. In the Tibette world anything is possible
Wow. This is the first of the entries I have read and, you, Seahurst, get the Les Fan Medal of Honor for tibette fanfic bravery. I haven’t figured out yet what I want to happen with B&T, but your great writing, as always, presents a very believable scenario. My one demand (HAH–as if) for future seasons is that Angie have ZERO heartbreak. Thanks for sharing that POV in your story. Hope to read more from you.
