‘Anyway,’ Tina went on, ‘it starts in about ten minutes so d’you mind if we take the iPad to watch it out on the porch?’
‘What’s wrong with the TV?’
‘Oh, it’s not a show we can risk the kids seeing.’
‘Are you shittin’ me?’
‘No. It’s got sex scenes.’
‘Sex scenes with you?’
‘Not so far. Although Fake Bette got busy last week.’
Kit’s eyebrows shot up into her hair just as Bette came downstairs. She was wearing a pair of old, faded black linen capri pants and a teal v-neck tee shirt. Birkenstocks on her feet and hair gathered up in a large tortoiseshell clasp.
‘Nice bath?’ Tina asked.
‘Very,’ Bette smiled. Then she saw the way Kit was looking at her. ‘What?’
‘I told her about the show,’ Tina said.
‘Oh my God.’
‘Hey, don’t mind me, baby sis!’ Kit waved her hands. ‘You just go watch yourself doin’ it on TV while I babysit all of your children, okay?’
Bette gave her wife a baleful look, but they all knew that Kit and the kids were a stone-cold love match, so Tina just giggled, kissed her sister-in-law on the cheek and said, ‘Thank you.’
***
‘This is among the most egregious things they’ve done to us yet,’ Bette said when they were settled on the porch swing, watching the show.
Tina said nothing, but her eyes were serious as Fake Angie received the results of her secret DNA analysis.
‘Tee, we’ve been so open with the kids,’ Bette went on, ‘about everything. And largely to avoid this exact scenario, I might add!’
‘Not easy, though. I mean, you know why they tried to control it.’
Tina’s voice was soft with memories. Times when, despite everything, in the face of all logic, they’d felt vulnerable about Marcus’s status. He’d always said it was up to them what they told Angie, and when. All he wanted was to be kept in the loop. So when they knew they were adopting Ben, nine years ago, they gathered their courage and started a dialogue with Angie, then eight, about where she came from. Angie took it all in, didn’t say much (which drove Bette crazy), but a couple of years later, when they told the kids they might be getting a baby sister, Angie asked to meet Marcus. Since then she’d also met her half-sister, who lives with Marcus and his partner, and she knows she also has a half-brother, who also has two moms and lives in Chicago. ‘Our family’s not simple,’ Tina often said, ‘but none of it’s a secret either.’

Poor Kit. If she only knew. She should be fabulous and talented and successful. This story has become the only reason to look forward to Sunday nights. We know another episode of Largo’s
righting the ship (pun intended) will follow. Keep up the normalcy. It’s just so welcome.
Thanks, Billy! It was satisfying to have Bette spare Kit the awful Gen Q version of her life. I actually teared up writing that. Glad you enjoy these wee stories. :-)
I do like this chapter….. a few days at the cabin with Kit and Sonny….Thank goodness the show only comes on once a week…. Now they can have some time with the kids in a relaxed and out of the city place….
Time for Tina and Bette to get a little R & R too…
Thanks for the update….
Nice comment, Martha. Thank you! Ii had great fun googling Vermont cabin-y stuff. It’s a beautiful part of the world. Thank you very much for reading and commenting. :-)
Largo,
This chapter is a balm for me as well!!! It’s great to see how you describe the feelings and opninions of the real Tibette about the fake ones!
Poor Kit, i hope she will never discover that they killed her off in GQ. She didn’t deserve that, but we all know this show doesn’t make sense at all.
Till next week!
Hi Bibi! I think I can reveal that no, Kit will never be told what they did. I couldn’t do that, and it should never have happened. Thanks for coming along on this ride and hope you have a good week. :-)
Hey Largo,
Super chapter & I must say I was surprised yet so very happy to read that you added Kit to the story!! Just loved that!!!
But it was soooooo heartbreaking at the end when she asked Tibette if she was in the show too!!! Stupid SL with Kit’s death.
Wondering though if Ms Angie will make an appearance in this series??? Would like to read how you are presenting her & what the teenager looks & sounds like to you.
And Tibette – time for some real lovin’ girl. They keep getting interrupted before either one reaches first base!!!!
You have got to give us initimate scene since we aren’t getting one with Fake Bette or Fake Tina. I’ll beg you if you want!!! Ha. Ha.
Seriously, thanks for this update & you did a fabulous job. They are just like so many of us envision.
Until the next episode.
Hello my friend! Thank you for reading this episode and for your comment about the ending. I was pleased with how it worked out, because Bette doesn’t have to tell Kit a lie and yet she can still spare her. That pleased me. And of course Kit is in it! What’s the point of fixing the damn show if I can’t fix that??? lol And yeah, our girls will get quality bedroom time at some point. Stay tuned for that. And thanks, as always, for your comments. Have a good week! x
Forgot to add this line from Bette as she & Tina are watching the show – which was just brilliant & sooooo good!!!
‘Of course she’s not real, but come on – “Pippa Pascal”? What, was Roger fucking Rabbit unavailable?’
I can just hear that coming out of Bette’s mouth!!!
Just like at the party at Shane’s back in OG when Bette & Tina talk to the actress that’s playing ‘Bev’ –
That was a great reference Largo. Well done.
Can’t wait for ep 4 & your take on it.
haha, yes that was a callback to Mary fucking Poppins. I just think Pippa is kind of an insipid-sounding name and the alliteration just makes it worse, so of course Bette would have to take aim at that. Thanks for highlighting it, my friend :-)
When she tells her son they are watching a documentary…. haha!
I love this Bette and Tina. Well done Largo
haha, BK, trust you to pick out my own favourite line of dialogue! It’s such fun to write this family. Thank you so much for continuing to read this and for your support as always. Have a good week! Largo
So often we marvel at how creative children are, but I admire quick thinking parents who have to come up w/answers to the darndest questions/things that children say!!!!
haha, i admire it too! I had a lot longer to think of that one than anyone would in real life :-)
Any way you turn it Largo, this shytt has got to be therapeutic to write!!
Oh, please,’ Tina said, swatting her wife’s shoulder. But then she gave her a sideways look. ‘Well, I wouldn’t say no to hotel sex one weekend soon.’
‘We can bribe the kids with Kit time.’
Tina laughed. ‘And bribe Kit with pie!’
Tibette’s comedic dialog is a force to be reckoned with!!! These two are gonna be scheming big time if it looks like they can slip away to jump each other’s bones!!!!
Gosh I love Kit being “alive & well”. Look how much humor the Fake GenQ is missing out on without a “real” Kit.
Doggone those writers & Producers. At least you got the legit goods Largo!!!
I’m liable to wake up in the night laughing at your “And we can bribe Kit with pie”!!! I hit the floor when first reading that . . . . And it’s just in me now!!! Where are the emojis when a girl needs them
This was my favorite part too. So funny. The banter is on point. And Kit being alive? WOWzers
The power of life and death is what fanfic writers share with the Gen Q writers, BK, isn’t it? So I used it! :-)
Hiya Dumplin! I love having Kit back. You’re so right about what a loss she is to the show, and to the PK family. Aaaghhhhh – it’s so frustrating, this TV show, lol
Thank you so much for your great comments and for reading this. have a good week! Largo
And not having Kit in GenQ means there’s no Sonny for the children to pile around with.
In a family, ONE person missing from the dinner table makes a tremendous difference
You’re right, Dumplin, and very well put. A family is a network and links matter. Thank you.
Strange that “real” Tina and Bette forgot to mention about biggest problem in 203 – Bette made huge decision regard Angie without consulting with Tina first.
Both LuH and JB so many talking about co-parenting – but it wasn’t co-parenting – it was Tina as absent parent. Again.
GQ managed to fu..ck up not only Tibette and Kit, but co-parenting also
Hiya Zhenya! Thanks for reading this story and for your comment. If you mean the decision to let Angie meet her half-sister, it is mentioned – it’s at the bottom of p. 5, where Bette says she feels like banging her head off something and Tina just finds it funny, because it’s so ridiculously bad.
You are entirely right, though. Even by their own stated aims, this show keeps missing the goal. Truly shameful that anyone picks up a paycheque for this stuff. Have a good week! Largo
