Bette looked surprised to see her, sitting amid the same books and decorating debris she was supposed to have already dispensed with at Tina’s request.
“T!” she said brightly. “You’re back! I didn’t hear you come in…”
“No, I suppose you didn’t,” Tina said, smirking. “It’s so nice to see that you’ve found something else to do in my absence.”
Bette looked guilty, but not particularly remorseful. “I’m sorry,” she offered.
“I’m sure,” Tina said drily. “Look Bette, if it means that much to you, go ahead and do up the room. I thought it was something we could do together, but you just can’t help yourself, so have at it.” Tina said shortly. “I’m going to take a nap.”
She huffed into the bedroom, tossed her bags on the floor, and lay down on top of the sheets. Bette was so infuriating sometimes.
She waited there, half expecting Bette to come in and apologize or try to make some kind of amends, but she didn’t. Eventually, Tina drifted off into a fitful sleep, only to awake 30 minutes later to an insistent tapping on her shoulder. She sat up creakily, wishing she hadn’t slept in her clothes.
“Hey, sweetheart.” Tina pulled Angelica into her lap and kissed her on the forehead. “Did you come to see Mommy?”
Angelica looked at her solemnly, like she needed a nap herself.
Tina struggled to her feet with Angelica in her arms.
“Bette?” she called in the hallway. She went into the nursery, finding Bette just where she expected her to still be, but this time she had Kit with her as they pored over the sample books and compared notes.
After depositing Angelica on the floor, greeting Kit, and giving Bette another dirty look, Tina took her leave. Forget dinner. She got ice cream out of the freezer and flopped down into her easy chair, starting up a movie. Tina didn’t get far into the film before she dropped off to sleep once more.
Bette woke her up this time, looking worried. The movie had ended and the ice cream sitting on the table was melted. Luckily, it hadn’t seeped out of the container and onto the carpet yet.
“Tina, I’m worried about you. You’re sleeping way too much today. Are you feeling alright?”

(Satified sigh.) You manage a perfect blend of sweet and sour. Thanks for another great read.
I so love these two.
Love the banter; what is OCD? & I love me some Mary-Louise Parker but ‘parker’ could lead to many cruel jokes by mean school kids-as they do. PPS

Don’t know if I’ve mentioned it yet, but I love the way you write these two. I enjoy every chapter. Thanks
Parker is a cool name. I was thinking as I was reading this story, ummmm, what name would Bette like. Maybe Ashton, Kai, Caleb, Collin, Keaton and I could go on and on. My choices, Kai, Ashton, Parker, and Keaton in that order., But most of all I love this story.
I love this fic! You have Tina and Bette’s mannerisms down to a tee! PPS!
Bette and Tina are such characters. It’s interesting just having the day in the life type interactions without serious drama. Parker sounds like a great name to me and it seems that it is growing on both Bette and Tina. :)
Tibette is just one big headache but in the most cutest and precious way *sigh*
