Taking pity on her languid sister-in-law, or more importantly her poor niece, Kit had made them all dinner and taken it over to the house to spend some time with Angelica. They were in the process of cleaning away the leftovers and the dishes, with Angelica reciting her lines from the play as Kit listened eagerly when the phone rang.
Angelica stopped to look across at her mom who sat curled up on the sofa hugging a couch cushion to her belly whilst staring off into space.
“I’ll get that then shall I?” she said to Kit, in a way that made her seem so like Tina on a good day.
Kit merely laughed, Angelica’s understanding of her parents love for each other never faltered, in fact she seemed as much a fan of the game as they both did.
She wandered back into the living room a few moments later, the phone in her hand.
“Mama … It’s Mom, she wants to talk to you.”
Angie and her mother locked eyes, speaking without words as Tina took the phone from her daughters hand.
“Hello …” she said, quietly.
Angie went to rejoin Kit in the kitchen. Kit sighed, pulling her niece close to her as silently they both continued with the dishes, occasionally glancing across at the loving dance being played out in the living room.
“Hey there …” replied Bette, her voice soft and equally low
Tina gave a long sigh.
“T … I’m so sorry,” said Bette, “I was stupid and stroppy … and I had a ‘really’ bad hangover” she added, hoping to win a sympathy pass.
Tina laughed, “You were stroppy …”
“Yes”
“ … and stupid …”
“Yes”
“ … but I still love you,” Tina added, relaxing her hold on the couch cushion slightly.
“Good,” replied Bette, her voice cracking, “because I *really* love you.”
Tina smiled, getting up off the sofa to take the conversation out on to the back deck, away from listening ears.
“So?” she asked, using the tone which indicated to Bette she still owed payment, “how are you going to make it up to me?”
“Well,” answered Bette, her voice deep and dark, “I have this meeting with MOMA soon … maybe you could help me get dressed for it?” she asked.

Yeh great story I also think that she is Bette’s half sister
Whoa…u wrote so well…but I don’t get the telephone fight, meaning I saw NO REASON for either to get mad BUT as it lead to a make-up phone convo okay!!!! Loving the suspense but not forever, huh???? Are u gonna leave it for Bette to get home and see Lotte for the big reveal…hope Bette comes home early to surprise Tina, of course!!!!
oh yeah, I’d prefer for her to be Bette’s half-sister; same mom, different dad’s…
You’re wonderful – posting all those chapters in a row!! Thank You. Love it ! Love it ! Love it ! But what the heck is “stropping”? Or am I just so far removed? Please continue. _Soon_
Is it Monday yet? I can’t wait for Bette and Tina to get together for family time without kids. Also I wonder if Bette will see something in Lottie that will get her mind to wondering.
Sofasitter you have spun a web that is very mysterious. So Bette isn’t Lottie’s mother unless Lottie lied to Tina about her mother dying when she was 7…shoot she is lying about her reason for being in LA so why wouldn’t she lie about that? If Tina and Bette would have been talking about anything else they would have had an argument also because Angelica said that’s what they do…it’s part of the process. I hope Bette comes home early…in time for the BBQ. I love this story and I hope you post again soon and end all of our guessing.
Good chapter!
God, I love this B&T! I think you’re giving us an awesome relationship here!… Okay, I know monday is not too far away, but I can’t help but hope for a suprise early return… A girl can dream, right? Thanks!
story is great!please,please,Bette needs come back soon and Lottie tell her secret!! I like big chapters.
You are really making me more crazy than I already am because of trying to figure out about Lottie. Hope you let us know about that mystery soon. I know when you read these comments you are probably laughing, because as you can see I am not the only one going crazy here. LOL Thanks and please don’t keep is on the edge of our seats too much longer.
So is this Bette’s sister and its Bette’s mom that died recently? Answers, I want answers!!!!!
Who the hell is she and what is she to Bette?
I’m betting she’s Bette’s half-sister…Because of the “white mother” comment and “no mention of Kit”…But we’ll see…
Yeah, I’d get touchy if Bette was away and I were Tina. But glad they had such a nice make-up conversation. :) Lottie’s getting cozy with the teacher!!
