“Can I help Tina?”
Tina was just checking on the potatoes when her mother appeared in the kitchen. So far everything was going really well. Her parents had appeared buried in gifts for Tina, Bette and Angie and there had been a great hour opening gifts and chatting. Now that things had settled down and Tina’s dad was on the floor helping Angie with a present, leaving Bette to drift around tidying up and making sure Angie didn’t get out of hand. Tina had happily fled to the kitchen and had been alone and drinking beer for 30 minutes when her mother appeared
“No thanks mom – everything is fine – well under control”
The older woman was looking round the kitchen as if she was assessing everything her daughter was doing
“I just know it’s a lot for one person to do alone”
“Bette peeled all the vegetables and did all the other stuff. I am just doing this so she can concentrate on keeping Angie under orders “
“Is she under orders?”
“She’s been up since 5 – well that was the time she woke us up – she’s hyper – we just want her not to make herself sick which is a possibility “
“You were never sick “
“I never got spoilt the way she is “
Her mother picked up on the comment “Are you saying we are spoiling her ?”
“No – I am saying we are spoiling her “
Mary looked wounded which Tina saw in a second “Mom – we spoil her – I know we do. It’s hard not to when she is so adorable and she took to Bette so well. She could have really ruined things for us”
“We never had the money “Mary began
“I know mom – I know we weren’t rich like Bette is – I am not complaining mom – I am just saying Angie gets nearly everything she wants and this week its everything she has ever wanted – Christmas, her birthday – the wedding and the arrival of cat number two. She needs to learn things have to be earned. So she is expected to behave politely and with respect – that’s how I was brought up and how Bette was as well “
Mary went silent – Tina moved to the oven to check on the meat and lift it out of the oven – along with the large chicken that she had done at the same time
“Two meats Tina “it was more than a comment
“Practical mom – saves the oven being on all day and if Angie prefers chicken which she often does -plus it will do for sandwiches and all sort of things – lots of mouths to feed “
“Seems a lot that’s all “
“What? with dad, Bette and Angie – as well as the two of us – not enough I think”
Another long pause – Tina desperately wanted to tell her mom to go and sit down and chill out but it was obvious she either wouldn’t or couldn’t.
“Are you sure there is nothing I can do ?”
“You could see if dad wants a beer or if Angie needs a time out “
“You could just say get out of my kitchen “Mary said lightly
“It’s Christmas – I am being nice “Tina replied smiling
“I am just used to doing everything “
“Well after all the Christmas meals you cooked for us – you have earned someone else doing this for you – me “
“I don’t always allow for how long you have been looking after yourself “
“I know but I have and I have cooked Christmas meals for 10 of our friends in LA but this is a much more demanding audience because I know how well you cook – most of our friends couldn’t boil an egg. This means a lot to me”

I am very happy to see taken up this story. Thank You allyemmerson. Please, do not also forget The L Wings (not for ending but for more and more chapters :)) ), one of the best fanfics all time :)
Nice…very nice, Ally! Thank you!
Oh no, you didn’t just ended this amazing story! :-(
what a beautiful journey you took them and us and i am sad it ended. Is there a chance you are gonna give us a sequel? There are so more things to tell.
Good job to ban Alice and Jenny immediately when Bette became the owner of the Planet.
Ally Emmerson, i want to thank you for sharing your talent as writer and i hope you will come back with more incredible stories and maybe finish your other stories like the L Wing.
The End ! Really ???????? Just when I was thinking about how many pages you used to give us on the L-Wing….and enjoying the 23 today… Maybe the planets are right – the alignment…the new Moon… New beginnings and ends……”proof of miracles and of the truly amazing human spirit ”
Thanks AllyEm, for everything.
(Nicholas is a *wink wink* good name for a cat brought into the home at Xmas! :)
The end???? Oh its sad,but Thank you for año.
Thank you so much for hours of enjoyment reading this story as well as the other wonderful stories. I hope your writing block is long gone and you continue to write such marvelous stories of Bette and Tina. Loved it, thanks
I greatly concur with your sentiments. Just need to add how much I adored Angelica. Ally you are such an amazing artist, I say this because your words always paints a picture for me. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Sorry to see this story end but thank you for coming back to complete it. I would certainly welcome a sequel..
I check back daily looking for the continuation of The L Wing. Hopefully soon.
Thanks for all your stories.
Thank you so much for this and your other great stories.
So happy to have had the wonderful 23 pages to read but so sad that it’s ‘The End’.
Perhaps an Epilogue?
Perhaps a Sequel?
Perhaps more L Wing?
Perhaps just, at the risk of sounding like Oliver Twist, more?
Sincerely Thanks Absolutely Loved it :)
Thank you for finishing this part of the story. Seems as if the story could handle a sequel if you’re so inclined. I was reading “Running on Sunshine” and it is quite excellent. Maybe write more for that story?
Thanks! Sorry to see it end but I know you will come back with a sequel. PPS
My God! my heart was just in pieces. my favorite story ends …: – ((((
I loved every minute of it and I thank you, Ally that you wrote this fabulous story.
can we expect an epilogue?
the last sentence was heaven for me, every story should have this, (they only deserve it).
Wow, I thought Bette would do something like that.
Thank you Allyemmerson!
What a great way to start the new year with the
conclusion of NEW YORK MINUTE.
I love your stories.
Would it be possible to repost IS THIS LOVE?
I can’t find it on this site, and it is my all time
favorite story.
Thanks again.

This story will leave longing.
Sad that comes to an end.
I raise my glass of wine and I’m doing a
big greeting to you, thank you for giving us
a fascinating story, engaging, a beautiful story! and
Best of all, you complete this story, a
great toast to you. !!
The whole constellation of the universe.
I await your return.
I was fearful when I saw 23 pages that this was the end. Your stories have delighted and entertained me for years. I , like many would love to read a sequel but am happy with what we have had the great pleasure to read.
There are two more stories I would love to see. I will continue to look daily for anything you write. Happy new year.
Thanks Ally!! Appreciate this so much! Thanks for spare time writing and share with us! Hope you and Rocky are doing fine! :) looking forward to your next installment whenever you are ready ;-)
It has taken me several days to read this book and its many chapters. I want to say that I love your Bette and Tina. I am thrilled to read a story in which these two women mature in their relationship and in their lives. I love how you have them teach each other how to communicate and how essential it is for their relationship. I am also impressed on how you present the aspect that the group was far to involved with each other’s lives to be healthy. Alice simply had no boundaries. I think Shane did and maybe even Dana did. Jenny was just crazy and Alice took no responsibility for her own actions and decisions. The biggest surprise was Kit. I guess that is what happens when you allow addictions to control your life.
This was a wonderful story and well written. I have really enjoyed it from front to back. I believe that Tina still has a bit more maturing to do but in time with Bette’s help she will get there. New York is truly a wonderful place for this family. Thank You for sharing this….I look forward to reading your other writings in the near future.
Standing ovation for Ally :-)
Thanks Ally! Love your stories so much!! Thanks!!
Like Hellbent says
“The End ! Really ????????”
6 years later Angie is 12, 1 year from being a teen! And, unknown baby is 6!
Really, I love your work and need more. PLEASE!
