"I won’t even take that bait," Bette said, knowing she and Tina were about to start another one of their sparring sessions that usually ended with muffled voices in the bedroom hoping the children couldn’t hear them.
"Because you know I’m right," Tina said decisively.
"I go with nature."
Tina scoffed. "I maintain it’s a case of nurture."
"Excuse me, but you created her. Genetically, it’s your fault. Predispositions, and all."
"And the fact that she spent a lot of time with you during the early days of the gallery has nothing to do with how she is."
Bette frowned. "You know what, let’s blame Kit and the rest of our friends."
"Cheers." Tina lifted her glass of water, which Bette tapped with her own bottle of water.
"Because all we did was love and care for her." Bette continued, moving closer to her wife.
"Treated her like a gift from God," Tina added, placing her glass on the counter, as Bette drew even closer.
"Kids as a reflection of our love," Bette grinned, resting her bottle on the counter as well. She drew Tina closer, until they were a mere breath away from each other, each statement punctuated with quick kisses. "Reckless behavior."
"Passionate."
"Ambitious."
"Unconditional." Tina smiled fondly.
"Hungry."
Bette and Tina looked at each other, recognizing the two voices saying that last one in unison, and they turned to where their two children were standing at the entry of the kitchen.
Reluctantly, the parents parted, and smiled at the kids.
"Whoa, okay," Angelica’s voice interrupted. "We really need to work out a signal for the kids to avoid seeing their parents make out."
"We weren’t ‘making out’," Tina contested.
Katie frowned. "You weren’t?"
"Yes, there was hardly any significant lip act—ow," Bette frowned at Tina, who had jabbed her elbow to her chest.
"Angel, set the table. Katie, help her." Tina told the two, not quite moving away from Bette.
"You know, in some cultures that’s enough to send children to therapy." Angelica told her parents.
"In some cultures smart alec children get sent to bed without dinner." Bette returned. "Set the table."
"In some cultures children are treated as manifestation of gods," Katie piped in.
"That table gets set or I’m the only one having dinner." Tina cut in, prompting the two kids to turn and start preparing the table.
Bette grinned. "They’re so adorable."
"In some cultures." Tina mumbled.
(The end.)

One of my favorite things about this story is that Bette and Tina are still together and after 2 kids and many years, they are still hot for each other. Great stuff. In fact,I think it should be a sitcom.
What I want to say, quite simply, is thank you, tiff_duke for writing and sharing this story. I look forward to anything else you write.
hee hee. Tina joined in. Great story! Too bad this is the end.
TD…Your writing is off the chain….just exemplary. Now, if S3 would only go away in its present form.
love the story makes my poor sick heart feel better sorry it had to end
Thank you for the story. I read most of it in one sitting (again, 4 years late). And thank you also for knowing when to end. In a good way (not with the negative connotations). It’s refreshing to see a story that has an end that doesn’t drag on for eternity. Or leave us poor readers hanging. But honestly, it’s not like i mind the ones that do go on for 80 chapters or so… :)
Btw. I’ve been reading every single word you’ve written on this site (it’s winter break), and it’s really interesting, knowing what we know now about the direction of the canon storyline, to see how everyone had reacted to the show versus the narratives that happen on this website. Some of the authors on this site should have been writing for showtime…
…..not at all to imply at I wouldn’t have read every single word if it weren’t winter break!! You’re a wonderful writer and storyteller. Thank you again.
very cute.
all I can say is thank you
hahaa tiffy this was freakin hilarious!! well the ending anyways…i want this b n t!!!
Loved it, loved it, loved it! So, no pressure, but when are you starting your next story? Tiff, you are such an amazing writer, I get so excited everytime I see you have posted. Don’t let season 3 get you down. Your B&T’s are better than IC’s any day. Lets all pretend season 3 isn’t even happening. Selfishly, your writing helps me do that, I wish you could escape the madness by reading someone as amazingly talented as yourself. Thanks for writing :)
I love your Kennard-Porter family they’re all so cute.
love the last line. thanks for this. now you can start a new one yeah?
love this story and the family that B&T finally became…sad to see it end but i can’t wait for you to continue with Let me in and see how the two of them got to that perfect point
LOL I’m reading this story for the 2nd time and still felt a bit sad that it came to an end.. I’m so in love with your Kennard-Porter family.. Let Angelica be gay and I’ll hook up with her.. LOL.. Thanks for giving us hope..
CUTE! That was a great story. Lighthearted, no insane drama…very entertaining. Brava!
“You know what, let’s blame Kit and the rest of our friends.” ROFLMAO, all I can say is Thank you for this lovely history about B&T. Looking forward for the next! (Babysis)
GREAT AS USUAL….THE END???? Y NO CONTINUE A BIT LONGER HUH?????
This was such a cute story. I’m sad to see it end, but in a way I think the pace and length were just right so as not to run the whole thing into the ground.
very nicely done- TD! hope you start something new to help use up the spare time that you will have now that this is over…
Cute Tiff – Cute!And for your next challenge…
The end? I think Katie’s getting short shrift. Me, too. Alas should this be true. And if so, this has been most enjoyable. So much so I’d prefer you’d carry on.
Tiff you have got to come back with a fuzzie wuzzie story…in some cultures that is a must…sorry to see this story end. Thanks for sharing.
