Pick A Part – 14
Bette’s indignant reply was cut off by Katie joining them.
"Hi, mom." Katie greeted.
"Hi, Katie." Bette smiled. "Angel kick you out?"
"As usual," Katie shrugged, and walked over to the nearby row of seats. She sat down, and pulled out a book from her bag.
Bette and Tina watched her.
"Either we did something really right with Katie or the attachment parenting early on really backfired with Angelica," Bette noted.
"Maybe everything was too dramatic after Angelica was born and she picked up on that," Tina added.
They glanced again at where Katie sat, quietly and studiously reading her book.
"Those two are the same genes, right?" Bette asked.
"Unless you got pregnant and failed to tell me," Tina replied. Both Angelica and Katie may have been from hers and Marcus Allenwood’s genetic material, but Bette did carry Katie to term.
Bette grinned. "You’re the one who thought of sleeping with men, T."
"Shut up." Tina retorted.
Angelica glanced out Terry’s room, checking where her parents and sister were, before returning to her best friend’s hospital room. "I’m beyond grounded, you know."
Terry smiled. "So what are you doing out, shouldn’t you be under house arrest?"
"My probationary officers are with me," Angelica returned. She glanced around for a chair. "Where’d all the chairs go?"
Terry shrugged. "How’s school?"
Angelica shrugged.
"So, uh," Terry hesitated.
"Oh!" Angelica said suddenly. "We’re like heroes at school, cutting school, and all."
Terry looked at her. "Angie, I’m sorry about all this. I promise it’ll never happen again."
"Yeah," Angelica sighed. "MaBe’s made sure of that."
Terry opened her mouth to argue her apology, except Angelica shook her head to indicate how much she didn’t want to hear it.
Terry smiled. Angelica would kill her for even thinking it, but sometimes she was just so much like her parents. The small, subtle gestures that those who knew them well picked up easily. Terry had often observed Angelica’s parents look at each other, give a small nod or head shake, without words being uttered. Coming from a household where her parents communicated by yelling at each other, the ease of communication between Angelica’s parents had been amazing to her. Angelica’s Aunt Shane once told them that it had been practiced and mastered after years of open communication. Terry had observed the same silent interactions between parent and child, as even Katie and Angelica picked up the same signals. Now here was Angelica speaking the same unspoken language.

Tiff – Love your writing – Thank you very much!
really enjoyed the post.
This is so much fun. It is delightful. Thank you, TD
i really loved the idea that years of open communications made B&T understand each other just by the move of the head or a smile…wonderful….did Tina also gave birth to Katie? i just don’t remember if it was mentioned before
TD I think you’re wonderful.. Is it wrong for me to really like Katie?
TD, I loved the eavesdropping potion of this story. Having Bette and Tina hear the honest conversation between Angelica and Terry was genius. Hearing it first hand was so poignant for Bette and Tina. Basically Angelica is a good kid who gets into some scraps and scrapes that make her believable. I loved Tina’s instant action at preventing Bette from storming into the hospital room and the reference to the difficult times during the past when their relationship was not as loving or understanding. Thank you for this pleasurable fantasy. Your Loyal Fan
THANK YOU; THANK YOU; THANK YOU, This should be Season 4, if IC already skip 6 month, she can do it again :). I refuse to losse faith in B&T, and this fanfic is really helpfull. (Babysis)
“You want me to be sent off to a convent?”… LOL… Not a monastery, Tiff? ;-)
i never want this to be over, but daily posting is very much welcome. great chapter as usual.
Angelica and Terry are such teenagers.. B&T are always great in your story, even if they are urging.. and why parents are always more happy with the nerd kid??
Thanks for keeping a consistent vision of the characters. On TV they may look the same from episode to episode, but they might as well be claymation as to how they behave. Not that I wouldn’t have done the same thing in the situation, but how far does the parents’ special dispensation go when it comes to the ethics of eavesdropping on one’s minor offspring?
LOVE IT…that story is lovely..thanks tiff
I’m finally caught up on this story. I gotta tell ya, when Terry said she’d only had sex with that 1 guy, I was waiting on the bomb to drop that she and Angelica had been together. Then Bette or Tina could’ve made a joke about attachment parenting. Absolutely love the flow of conversation between parents and children.
tiffy always excellent…but dude i thought u were gonna drop terry n angelica being together…u got so many options!! waitin for ur next
Good chapter!
