Terry lost her smile, the consequences of her actions dawning on her. "I’m sorry."
"I know, Terry." Tina said softly. "We’re just glad you’re both okay."
Terry shook her head slightly. "If anything had happened to Angie, I don’t know how I’d ever forgive myself."
"Terry," Tina said softly, shaking her head.
Terry looked up at her. "Yeah?"
"I wouldn’t have forgiven you, either." Tina said jokingly.
"Sure, you joke now," Terry retorted. "How’s Mrs. PK taking it?"
"She’s chewing Angelica out as we speak," Tina told her.
Terry studied her friend’s parent’s face. "Can I tell you something?"
"Go ahead."
"I don’t know what Angelica told you, but I took the keys from her."
"No, you didn’t."
"Yes, I did."
"Nope," Tina shook her head decisively.
"Look, Mrs. KP, I was there. I took the keys."
Tina smiled patiently at the girl. "Honey, I don’t know how often you got to hold those keys, but my daughter, like her other mom, is a victim of their habits."
Terry looked at her questioningly.
"When they approach their car, they take a death grip on the keys. Angie has that band that she uses to link the keys to her wrist, and only removes it when she’s in the car." Tina said matter-of-factly. "I don’t know why you’d want to protect her, but you wouldn’t have taken hold of those keys if she didn’t give them to you."
Terry paused, then laughed softly. "Should’ve known better than to try and lie to you."
"Points for effort, though." Tina assured her.
"Angie’s lucky to have you and Mrs. PK as her parents," Terry said softly.
"And you’ll be advised to keep repeating that around her," Tina told her.
"I mean, you care about her. You’re there when she needs you." Terry elaborated.
"About that," Tina hesitated. "I don’t mean to pry, but are your parents in Barbados, or Bora-Bora?"
"My mom’s in Barbados, and dad’s in Bora-Bora." Terry said flatly. "And they’re not vacationing alone."
"They should be here for you." Tina declared.
"Yeah." Terry looked down at her blanket. "Yeah."

wonderful, tina is such a great person…and that’s why i think in another story she and bette will be alright as well, because she mentioned it here…LOVE is the answer…thanks you
That’s the Tina that we all know and love! Your stories are wonderful. Thank you so much!
did I mention how lucky I feel to be able to read your stories….thankyou
great chapter….
Aaah, I see what you’re doing. At least I hope that’s what you’re doing. Is “Let me in” a prequel to this story? Would love that. Tina would find her way back to Bette “after the disaster of their relationship after Angelica was born”. This way, they would all be a family. I’d really like that. Thanks, tiff.
Yea two chapters! Nice how you tied in the horror that is season 3 with a happy future. Thanks.
i love this story and all the others–you and jwet have a real talent when it comes to writing love the way you can make me see and feel what are girls are going thro loved this insight into how both of them lost their way (s3 i can live with a temporary split maybe) to find their way back together looking forward to the next chapters of all your storys
I think I’m in love, I don’t know if it’s with you, or your writing or your B&T.. I wanna start a family.. OMG I didn’t just say that, did I?? LOL Thank you..
Someone hit my car tonight while I was at the gym and they didn’t leave a note. I’m hoping Terry’s dad will also pay for my damages. Excellent chapter!
Tina is like the old Tina that we all love. I still have hope for S3. Dont ask why, Faith Terry is so lucky to have TheKennard=Porter in her life. thanks
I don’t know what we have done to deserve such prolific writing from you tiff, but keep ’em coming. I love all of your stories and how you are able to make each B and T different yet remain true to their characters. IC should take lessons from you.
things i adore about the chapter:- Mrs KP and PK!- “When did she come to realize that despite all the disappointments, she could always trust Bette? That no matter what, she could trust Bette to be there, to be there for her, even at her worst, and Bette would be there to make everything better.It was love. That deep, emotional bond between her and Bette, the one that extended to family and friends. In spite of all of this, love was deeper than a breach of trust.” YES!! s3 writers take note!
2 in one day tiffy…thank u they were awesome!!
How did you get so wise tiff? Great writing.
TD,Read. Enjoyed. Commented.You certainly are keeping ’em coming thick and fast. I could certainly kiss you for all this delightful and dazzlingly dramatic dialogue. It is so realistic and natural. I love these versions of Bette and Tina. There is just so much love tempered by understanding and shared experience between them. They are an united front dealing with the highs and lows of parenthood. Many thanks for all of your creative juices and work ethic. Your Loyal Fan.
Fsntastic
“”Not to mention, how did we manage to keep Bette’s trust, after the disaster of their relationship after Angelica was born? “”–Shout out to Season 3 maybe? Lets hope the writers of S3/S4 decide to take the route most of us would love to see. Great chapter(s) and pls continue both. We need the good with the bad.
oops…Fantastic
do i have to say that i love that story??? i do very much…im glad Tina is doing a good job with Terry at least she have someone to look after her in that sad moment..great chappy post more soon thanks :o)
totally love reading every chapter of yours…….splendid. your loyal fan.
It’s nice to know that your B & T used all the crap they waded through earlier in their existance was used as a proving ground that matured and deepened them. You’ve turned them into likable, admirable people.
I agree with Bailey and really like Tina’s introspection during her conversation with Terry. Question: Was Bette a surrogate to Katie (Tina’s egg and Marcus’ sperm)? I’m slightly confused.
OK, so I have a cold and my grammar’s a bit screwy at the momment.
Tina is good and kind person that we all love and Terry lucky to know her. OK let see what’s next, thanks!
