“How come I never see you take any of my mom?”
And Bette was completely stunned for an answer. She sat and thought, but no explanation would come out. “I … I don’t know.”
“She can be really shy. There aren’t a lot of pictures of her. I’ve seen a few videos of me and my mom from when I was a baby. I was a cute baby.”
Bette laughed again, trying to restrain herself for the sake of Tina’s sleep. “I’m sure you were adorable.”
“My cheeks were this big!” Angelica giggled, holding out her arms. After she started moving her ankles in little circles, she looked up at Bette again. “So when can we wake her up then? What are we waiting for?”
For a concerned child, she sure doesn’t like to see her mother rest. Bette sighed as she sat back in her chair, giving another glance over to her camera. “You know … why don’t I take a picture with the two of you?”
“But she’s asleep.”
Bette chuckled as she got up and reached onto the shelf. “You can make a funny face. I think it would make for a cute picture – almost as adorable as those big cheeks you were telling me about.”
Angelica shrugged and walked over to the couch, sitting on the floor with her knees drawn up to her chest. “So does she just sleep all the time or what? How do you even talk to her?”
Bette chuckled as she played with the functions on her camera, nearing the couch. “She’s awake some of the time.”
“That wouldn’t be enough for me – I would want someone to be awake all the time with their eyes opened like this to look at me!” she smiled, pulling so that her eyes would remain open for effect. “See?”
“Yeah, well you’ve got some years to go before we have to worry about that,” Bette teased back, standing to zoom and focus her camera, breathing evenly to keep steady. But she couldn’t help smiling when the focus came into view. Tina was so beautiful, even in her sleep. And then Angelica turned and popped her face into view.
“Like this?”
“However you want,” Bette chuckled quietly, getting Tina in the shot from her neck to the hair that fanned out over the pillow. “You ready? – Just be careful not to wake her up.”

Great job
Hi GR… Thanks for another amazing update! I am sorry to hear that you were not feeling well! And glad to know that you are better now! :-) please take care and get fully recovered! And for someone who is a bit drowsy because of the cold.. I must say that your writing is more than perfect and no one will ever thought that it’s written under such condition ;-) PPVS when you can! ;-)
What a wonderful story. Bette is slowly being accustomed to loving and being loved. Just lovely!
I know this will make you feelbetter. Three dozen long stemroses delivered by me personally. One dozen red symbolizing my love forYou. One dozen yellow bringing you to a swift recovery. Making you feel better, reminding you of the joy and happiness you bring us all with sharing your stories. And one dozen white roses to remind you of my loyalty to you as one of your many readers. Besides a beautiful woman deserves them all. The voices Bette hears in her mind as she prepares to apologize to Alice I’m certain we have all experienced at one time or another. These voices are real and exactly what we need to hear reminding and directing us to follow the things that feel right in our hearts. Everyone deserves to be lovedunconditionally but we must also be willing to give it in return. Thank you for usingyour imagination I enjoyed it.
Hey GR!Sad to hear you were sick,and happy to know that you’re better now and very very GRATEFUL that you have post a new chapter! Beautiful story ,with a chapter that warms your soul,at least for me. Is wonderful to see how a person like Bette (a player)was given the chance to meet the love of her life and she didn’t let it pass,she overcame her fears and bet on love. And i bet all my chips to the team of Bette-Angie ha!I’m worried about Tina, why she is tired all the time? i hope that is only stress from work and not a serious illness(please don’t be the last!), maybe Bette can take her girls on a nice holiday, what do you think?REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO READ MORE
That was great and wonderful, love it. Please post more, thanks!
I’m not sure which was sweeter, Bette w/ Angelica or Bette w/ Tina when she was sleeping…. Thanks for the great update. PPS!
We’re glad you’re posting again, too! Hope you’re on the mend, and hope to see another installment soon! Each one is a new kind of wonderful. :-)
I love it. I love it so much. Always brings a smile on my face. This Angie is precious.
