Kennard residence
Tina heard her father step into the doorway before he knocked.
“Pumpkin, may I come in?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
The father walked next to the bed where the little girl sat against the headboard holding a teddy bear. His heart broke because it seemed as if his daughter would burst into tears at any moment. He gestured his request to sit on her bed and Tina nodded.
They sat in silence for a while.
“Bad day at school?”
The blonde child nodded.
“Teacher mad at you?”
The child shook her head.
“Did you fail a test? It’s OK if you did. You’ll get another chance.”
Again, the child shook her head.
“Fight with some other kids?”
Again, a head shake.
The man paused for a moment, trying to think of other possibilities.
“Was someone mean to you? Did someone hit you?”
Another head shake.
He could feel his daughter’s sadness grow deeper. She wanted him to guess but he couldn’t think of anything else.
“Oh Teenie Beanie,” he resorted to the name he used when she had been very little. “I can tell you’re sad, but I can’t help if you won’t tell me why.”
Tina looked at her father. Her lip quivered and she burst into sobs.
Bill grabbed her in his arms.
“Teenie Beanie, it can’t be so bad. I promise. It can’t be so bad. Tell Daddy and maybe I can help.”
Tina held on to her father. She tried to catch her breath so that she could finally speak what was weighing down her heart. “Nothing can help. Now it can’t be forever and ever.”
“Sweetie, what can’t be forever and forever?”
“Like you and mommy are. We can’t be forever and ever.”
“Help me a little bit, OK? What happened?”
“You told Mommy you loved her when you were my age and you are forever and ever. Mommy said that she likes your cards better than your flowers so I made a card, but I couldn’t give it at lunch because I spilled Dana’s pudding, and then it rained so we didn’t have recess and then Mrs. Fairbanks made me leave before I could give it. Now there’s no more school and Monday will be too late.” The little girl began to cry again.

Your private Valentines Day story is priceless an this story is really,really cute.PPS
Ok, this is good that they will get to meet up on V day, but please don’t let them miss each other, ie: Bette goes to Tina’s house while Tina is at Bette’s house. You wouldn’t do that, would you? Can’t wait for more.
Can’t help but thinking do they still being supportive, when Tina’s dad and Kit found out the little one’s valentine is a girl! lol.. love your story, PPS!
Awwww, this story is so darn sweet and I always love your AN. Our girls are just precious and I hope it all works out for them. They are so lucky to have a father and big sis that understands what they are feeling. Just hope the father doesn’t go sour on Tina when he finds out who she wants as her sweet Valentine. They are just too grown to know their own minds at this early stage of life. Too bad IC didn’t have something like this in mind as a backstory for them, it would have been perfect and explained so much more. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story with us. You have a wonderfully imaginative mind.
please don’t let them miss each other again… this is so cute…
This is so cute. I wonder what Teenie Beanie’s father will say when he realizes that his daughter’s Valentine is another little girl. What will Kit say when she too realizes that Bette has the hots for Tina?
Spumonimoni I’m sending you my next dentist bill because all this Rivetted sweetness has got to be giving me some serious cavities! I loved this installment. Gimme more, gimme more…you’ve given me a sugar rush that’s for sure.
just so cute!!! i loved bette’s attitude and loved that the adults wanted to help the love-stricken kids LOL oh, and i loved your comments tale, especially the part that were not true ;)
Ugh, it’s just sickening sweeeeet…However, based on your “flying colors” record, now I am seriously worried whether these two can get their Valentine’s cards :)Spumoni, please redeem yourself and be a good Cupid!
I hope Tina’s dad is understanding…
Tina’s Daddy nickname was just the cutest thing, but then when we went to Bette’s home it was just too funny, LMAOL. I could just picture an eight year old Bette with attitude and that potty mouth.
Okay, Teenie Beanie is just too cute. It’s like when my mom calls the cats and me “love muffin.” XD
Wowwww how cuteand sweet. I am now an addicted lol. Please feed my addiction. PPVS
ooooh, this is getting sweeter than a hot radiator in Feb with a V-box on top… ;-)
awh Tina dad is awesome and thank goodness for Kit
you are hilarious! :D
I commented, am I your Valentine now?? =D This is soo cute, and so sweet. and your tale wasn’t lame, it was welcome relief from my intense studying, so thanks so much and looking forward to the next one!! =]
Aw, to be a kid again & feel like your world is crashing down around you, I can feel Teenie Beanie’s pain :( I think my eyes were about as wide as Kit’s probably were when I read Bette dropping her first F-bomb – could not stop chuckling over the lil potty mouth & her big sis out-attituding her. Like the others I was also wondering what their families reactions will be to learning that the hopeful Valentine’s are of the same gender. I have no doubt though that all will be well in your Tibette fluffydom :) Thx & PPVS!
Hey Spumoni, That was ab-so-lute-ly adorable. I just loved the disappointment in Tina and Bette’s moods after their Valentine’s cards were thwarted.Good that they have a caring father and sister ready to help them out.Just precious.Thank you for showing there is always a way to make your dream could true when it is meant to be.Your Loyal Fan.
This is an adorable story. I’m so loving it. Thank you.
I really shouldn’t be doing this, but I couldn’t not comment on this much cuteness. Despite Glenn and David’s current lifestyles (I refused to read that second bracket. It made the story much less interesting), that was so beyond cute, both the AN and the actual story. I love Kit as a teenager whenever you write her. She’s cool but also loving and it makes S1 Bette even suckier because of all the love that Kit gave her at an age when the most logical thing is for the rebellious teenager to hate her perfect little sister. I bet Mrs. Cadoniz wouldn’t be happy to hear you’re naming some other random girl your Valentine. Multiple others, maybe, but just one? Nah.As always, I remain awed at your awesomeness (see what I did there? See, see?). Thanks, Spumogan!
With a daddy like Bill, why would you even need a teddy bear? I quite enjoyed Bette’s exploratory foray into cursing, she’s advanced in every way. I’m enjoying the story, as I hope you know, but I think I enjoyed your author’s note even more. You can leave my chocolates on the radiator, they’re pumping AC now, thanks.
