Bette threw her hand up against the wall to prevent herself from falling. She looked down to see the offending object that caused her to trip, cursing softly as she focused on the latest ‘must have’ toy Angelica had talked Tina into buying.
“Angie, clean up your toy!”
Tina flew out of the bedroom, frantically typing on her iPhone attempting to get organized, and barely managing to avoid a collision with her wife.
“Why are you standing in the middle of the hallway?”
“Trying to save my own neck,” Bette shot back as her phone began to vibrate in the pocket of her pinstriped suit pants. “It’s bad enough walking in these heels let alone having to navigate through a mine field of toys.”
“They aren’t toys Mama B,” Angelica whined as she began to stroke her latest life-like hamster. “It’s my hamster.”
“One of many I’m sure.” Bette picked up her phone after seeing Phyllis’s number scroll across the screen. “Phyllis….” Bette’s heels made an echoing sound as she walked toward the front of the house in an effort to hear Phyllis over the sound of Angelica’s hamster mechanically squealing in delight.
“You might need to pick Jillie up, Honey.” Tina bent down and kissed Angelica’s head while helping to pet the hamster. “You also need to get dressed for the day.”
“Am I going to see Auntie Kit?”
Tina sighed thinking of the answer. She relished in a weekend of Bette being home and had completely forgotten to have the important discussion of where Angelica should attend school and the current daycare situation they were using to occupy her during the day. Tina was shocked on Saturday morning when Bette’s phone rang and she simply clicked it off, throwing it on the chaise lounge before jumping into the pool with Angelica. Tina took her queue for the remainder of the weekend from Bette, ignoring all work calls and never once checking her e-mail. However, on a busy Monday morning, the isolation over the weekend proved itself and Tina realized that they had made no progress on any of the decisions she had been procrastinating until Bette had come home from her business trip.
Tina picked Angelia up and kissed her neck, enjoying the outburst of laughter coming from her daughter when she nuzzled the ticklish part of her neck. She dropped her off just outside her bedroom, urging her to pick out her clothes for the day.

hmmm…. wonder if Maxine is insured against the likes of Jillie? =) Amazing story, Gumby! Always love your writing! SK/C
Very interesting. The flow of the paragraphs had me leaping to wonder if Maxine is the ready-made cook and cleaner…PPS!
Ah yes, I know those “Jillie’s”. They tend to multiply like pregnant rats on the floor. Nice Tibette dialoque – 2 adults trying to keep it all together. You must be setting us up for drama (LOL) because, it’s all smooth sailing. Nice, Gumby!
Cool another chapter. I get the impression that Maxine will end up due to a mix up as their nanny/housekeeper.
Ah you got me with Jillie – I do believe my daughter owns a distant cousin with the same tendency of appearance. So Bette and Tina will be looking for a housekeeper and Maxine is looking for an opportunity! Hmmm. Great post. Thanks.
I know!, I know!,… lets have Maxine kidnap Angelica! – no more toys on the floor!… What?… ‘No?’… oh okay…. ;-)
Angie deserves her grandma in her life, Bette nneds her mother don’t matter what she thinks first. I count on Tina to play the peacemaker though. Can’t wait.
great hv to wait for next week i think bette will be really really shocked.
This is getting very interesting. Love the dialogue , including the references to Alice. Drama on the horizon – just not between Bette and Tina please. pps
I just caught up with your new story. Gumby, have you been honing your skills?? Your writing is even better than I remembered…..thanks for this story.
I liked the family life scene, lots of multitasking. Well done
really liking where this is going..putting and ad…is maxine going to respond to the ad??
Is it next week yet??
Amazing update. Love this story and how it’s all coming together. THank you for this.
I think it would be interesting to have Maxine be the house keeper for Tina and Bette, and all the while getting to know Angie. Just a thought.
