Foundations – Chapter 2
“For you, Mommy,” she said in a stilted way that Tina knew meant she had been coached. The old Angelica surfaced momentarily when she held a small hand out for a grape and Tina handed her one. Bette came over then and hustled Angie out of the room. “Now let’s let Mommy have some quiet time to enjoy her breakfast!” Bette trilled. Angie was gone before Tina could protest that she would have preferred to have Angelica stay. Tina rolled her eyes and took a ferocious bite out of her croissant, but then made a conscious decision to keep whatever mild annoyance she felt in check. There were worse things than Bette going overboard to spoil her. She sniffed delicately at her flowers and returned to her breakfast.

“Need more sunscreen, baby?”
Tina pulled her sunglasses down and looked over the rims at Bette, who still had her sunglasses on.
“No, babe. I told you before I was good.” Tina pushed her glasses back into place. She was sitting by the pool, soaking in the sun and just starting to feel relaxed and mellow. The all-day sessions broiling under the sun were as long gone as her teenage years, which had been the last time Tina had done it, but she still liked to lay out and tan naturally. She figured she must have been a cat in a former life. Lying lazily in the sun and napping a little was a simple pleasure she was never going to give up, no matter how many lectures Bette gave her about the dangers of UV rays. She had already submitted to being slathered with the most powerful sunscreen cream Bette could find.

Ooooooooo, another omalley post!!! I settled in my chair for a great read and was thrilled again. Thanks. I will wait impatiently for your next installment.
Bette’s trying so hard. I’m glad Tina appreciates her & told her so. Now, next chapter should be Tina showing Bette how much she appreciates her, right? PPS!!
AWE talking does wonders!!!! bette is trying so hard but tina is right she needs to chill out…. :) PPS
Thanks Omalley, that was really good! I dunno, if I was Tina I think I would have liked all that pampering,
Bette trying hard to do the perfect thing, Tina just trying to get a nap, and them both just frustrated. Amusing in that real life way. I am glad that Bette isn’t doing the anger thing and that Tina and her talked. This is a delight to read.
Bette is trying so hard and Tina being a mom to be just wants some peace and quite.
that was a nice surprise…I expected a little fight there. Thanks for the post
I’m over the moon you’re doing a sequel, and I’ve loved both parts of it so far. This latest post was just ace, ace, and to be thorough, *ace*. Thanks for the chapters!
Now, that is communication. Too bad it took most of the day for the issues to come out. Please post soon.
i know the feeling… and i’m glad tina was able to go back and rest… PPS
seriously humorous; it was beginning to seem like the day from hell!!! Bette in overkill mode…I liked T’s idea for spoiling B later though…PPS
Bette always tries so hard to be the perfect mother and wife to her girls, but Tina is right Bette just need to relax and make sure her family is alright but b in a calmly manner,, I love them as a family, but I am ready to read some spice *wink*
