    Author Notes:

    Chapter 11.

    "Bam."

    "Bam." Angelica nodded her affirmative.

    "So Terry’s father is going to pay up to fifty grand because you and Terry wanted to go out for pizza." Bette deduced.

    "Kinda." Angelica admitted.

    "And a cat."

    "Yes."

    Bette clapsed her hands together, resting her elbows on the desk in front of her, and looked intently at her daughter. "Terry almost died."

    "I know."

    "You could’ve hurt people."

    "I know."

    "What if you’d been hurt more than you were, Angelica?"

    Angelica lowered her gaze again.

    A long silence followed between parent and child, Bette watching Angelica, and the teenager letting the guilt gnaw at her. Bette had done this countless times before, often with Tina, but at one point they had realized that there was nothing they could say that quite compared to the guilt the children felt with a few well-placed statements.

    Especially this one.

    Bette watched her daughter, the person who had given her the chance to be everything she knew she could be, to the world. To her friends. To herself. To Angelica. To Katie.

    To Tina.

    She’d helped dream this family into existence, and now that it was real, the tiniest infraction meant everything.

    She had not allowed Tina to say it out loud, at the time neither of them were ready to deal with the consequences of "what if", but Bette knew it had to be said, and it had to sink in for Angelica.

    Bette sighed, and said aloud what she knew was the worst-case scenario. "You could’ve died."

    Angelica didn’t know when she turned on the waterworks, but when the tears started there was nothing she could do to stop it. "Mom, I’m sorry."

    "Angie," Bette said softly, her heart going out for this girl who was so much a part of her. "Baby."

    Angelica showed no signs of having heard her, continuing to sob silently in her chair.

    Bette dropped the tough stance, and got up from her seat to stand beside her daughter. "Angie you know we just want you to be safe. And we trust you, but you do something like this…"

    3. Ah, tiff_duke, this so good, in so many ways. azmama’s right about the dialogue, but the interior monologues are fine, too. The way you’ve woven the absent Tina into the scene. Lost trust-why does that theme sound familiar?

    7. Just caught up with the last 2 chapters. I agree with the others. The dialogue was spot on and very in character, especially Bette. When Bette said: “You’ve clearly demonstrated that your sense of responsibility and priorities leave much to be desired.”, it reminded so much of the conversation between the girls where they pushed Alice to break up with Gabby Deveaux!! Still loving the “In some cultures…” reference. Thanks, tiff.

    8. I meant to say that when Bette said: “You’ve clearly demonstrated that your sense of responsibility and priorities leave much to be desired.”, it reminded me of the “Step off, b*tch!” episode on the show.

    14. TD,Read. Enjoyed and Commented. Gold Star please…This was an awesome chapter. Bette took the best line of attack with Angelica. Angelica is basically a good kid but needs to know that there is often a price to pay for a moment of recklessness. Angelica knew what she had done was wrong so Bette played on this perfectly. Being disappointed in her daughter was a far worse punishment than be shouted at. I loved Angelica’s attempt at gaining some ground but Bette was right there to put her on the correct path. Loved it!
