"It’s the answer," Andy grinned.

Angelica glared daggers at him as Bette beamed, "oh my God! How did you do it?"

"I told you, Angie is stupid!" Andy teased.

"Get back here you little twerp!" Angelica jumped off the chair.

"Angelica!" Bette scolded.

Angelica grumbled and sat down again, "x=2."

"Now you got it, call me if you get stuck," Bette said standing up and walking into the bedroom muttering on how intelligent Andy was.

Angelica glared at Andy, "you little twerp, when did you look at the answer guide?"

Andy pulled out the sheet from behind his back, "when she was talking!"

"Ohh you are unbearable!" Angelica jumped and Andy sprinted into the living room. Angelica sprinted after him and soon they were running around the table and jumping on couches while screaming at each other.

Angelica tackled Andy to the floor and started smacking his head just as Tina opened the door and Bette ran out of the bedroom.

"Angelica Kennard-Porter!" Tina scolded.

"Break it up!" Bette yelled pulling Angelica off of Andy who was actually laughing instead of crying.

"He looked at the answer guide to make me look stupid!" Angelica cried.

Andy snickered, "mom you believed it?"

"Andrew," Bette scolded smacking his butt, "go to your room!"

Andy just laughed and scampered away. Angelica scoffed and went back to the table, "freakin’ idiot!"

"Angie, don’t talk that way about your brother!" Bette chided.

"Angie honey, why don’t you do homework in your room?" Tina said calmly. Bette looked at her, furrowing her brow when she noticed Tina’s puffy eyes.

"Okay mommy," Angelica said picking up her things and walking to her room.

"Babe are you okay?" Bette asked instantly.

"Bette sit down," Tina sighed turning around and making a ‘come here’ signal. Christian appeared behind Tina and Bette looked confused as she sat down.

"Come in Chris," Tina said walking to the couch. Christian settled next to Tina as Bette watched them patiently.

Tina sighed and started, "Bette, this is my nephew Christian Kennard."

"Oh," Bette let out a laugh of relief standing up and shaking his hand, "nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Christian smiled.

"I didn’t even know you had a sister T," Bette said.

"That’s cause she condemned and disowned me 20 years ago for being a lesbian," Tina explained.

Bette looked shocked, "but you didn’t turn gay until you met me!"

"I guess she knew before it happened," Tina said turning away for a moment.

"So she condemned you for no reason?" Bette said with a scoff.

Tina gave her a smile knowing how much Bette hated all those injustices and discrimination. "That was a long time ago," Tina said softly.

"My mother was never a good person unfortunately," Christian said sadly, "not a good sister and not a good mother."

"Sorry to hear that," Bette said sympathetically.

"Bette, my sister died of cancer last week, I’m the last blood relative he has," Tina said.

"Oh my gosh I’m so sorry," Bette said.

Tina and Christian nodded sadly and Tina continued, "Bette he’s 16 years old and they’re gonna put him in a group home."

"What? No way! He’s your only family we can’t allow that!" Bette said.

"You’ll let me stay?" Christian asked excitedly.

"Welcome to the family," Bette smiled hugging Christian tenderly. And through all the sadness of a lost loved one and a new life, the rainbow was starting to peak through, shining down on a new chapter in all of their lives.
