    Chapter 9

    Bette lay on her back on the bed, her head on Tina’s lap, as the blonde read a script. "Are you going to go tomorrow to the hospital?"

    "Probably. But I have to go to work in the morning."

    "Want me to go?" Bette asked. "I can stay the whole day, I can trust the gallery with Shelly."

    "Wouldn’t your boss get angry?" Tina joked, setting aside her reading material, referring to Bette’s position as the owner of the Bette Porter Gallery.

    "Screw the old hag." Bette returned.

    "Been there," Tina grinned, "done that."

    "Should I be jealous?"

    "Probably." Tina laughed.

    "T?"

    "Hmmn?"

    "Do we like Jake?"

    Tina lifted an eyebrow, and glanced down at her. "Why?"

    "He hasn’t been here since Angelica’s accident. Doesn’t he care?"

    "He’s been suspended from visitation rights, remember? We caught him sneaking into the house?" Tina reminded.

    Bette paused, then nodded with enlightenment. "Right. Not very smooth, is he?"

    "Could learn from you," Tina retorted, tangling her fingers in Bette’s hair. "Besides, you keep scaring the bejesus out of the boy. And knowing you’re going to be angry with the car accident? Of course he’s not going to try."

    "Okay, but do we really like a guy who has never once questioned why Angelica has two moms?" Bette pressed the issue. "Doesn’t that strike you as suspicious?"

    Tina laughed. "You obviously don’t know why they had that big fight that first month they were going out."

    Bette frowned. "They had a fight?"

    "Yes, Bette, in case you’ve forgotten that girl was also raised by you. And she seems to have gotten your argumentative streak. Apparently he made a comment that she took very personally."

    "Oh." Bette said simply, although the smile on her face revealed how proud she was that Angelica had gotten something from her. Even if it was the argumentative streak. "Are we really going to have her serve face time with the Kitchen Nazi?"

    "I’ve already asked Kit and Lara about it."

    "Yeah, Kit seemed eager to impose some tight discipline on Angelica." Bette admitted. "Do you think she thinks we’re bad mothers?"

    8. The reference to Skipton is Shelly, Bette’s assistant.God I love your writing! I too wish that the L Word has some dedicated writers…but I dream! I didn’t see last night’s episode, not b/c of the super bowl but b/c I can’t be bothered staying awake til 10 to be depressed, so I catch it on Mondays at 9, where I can get an extra hour of sleep b4 work the next day. Wow! That’s a far cry from S1 when I’d watch them back to back on Sundays and wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed for work on Monday.

    14. TD, Again, another magnificent stroke from the master. This story is going from strength to strength as I get to peek inside the lives of this family. The dialogue and dramatic scenes are pitched perfectly. I can feel the love from this household as well as the desperate need to protect, care for and teach their children from Bette and Tina. Parent can only show you the way and then trust that you will follow it. We all know that Angel is basically a good kid but does seem to be the nose for finding trouble. It is good to see that Tina has lost none of her ability to read people as Bette only see the surface. The argument with Jake being a prime example of this. I would like to see more of Katie’s take of this and her relationship with her sister. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Can’t wait for you next installment. Thank you so much for this fabulous fan fic. Your Loyal Fan

    20. Another wonderful chapter, Tiff! Loved it, and not just for showing Bette’s tender bond with Katie (thanks :D). The writing and voice you apply to each character are spot on. I saw last night’s episode and definitely preferred reading this story to watching what unfolded on the scene. Ugh, can we be done with this season alrady??
