“I’m mad at him. Not you.” She was angry with the sixteen year old who had seemed to be the tamest of them all, and Bette had faith in his goodness. Now she was angry at herself for falling victim to stereotypes.
“It’s not your fault, either,” Angelica said at last – her maturity often surprising. Was she looking out for Bette’s peace of mind above even her own? “And … thanks. For not … exploding or something. I know that Mom would.”
Bette parked the car. “You’re welcome. Stay here.”
“I’m not staying here,” Angelica insisted.
Bette locked the doors and walked briskly up to the house and rang the bell, asking to speak with Ralph. Angelica was running over as the boy’s mother asked why.
“Maybe he can answer that,” Bette snapped, seeing the boy from down the hall. “Hey! You. Come here.”
The boy’s mother, Jeanne, looked nervous about the whole thing, and looked to her son as he stayed glued in his spot. Guilty.
But Bette didn’t let up. She pointed her finger out at him. “You may be a coward, but you just crossed the wrong woman, do you understand?”
Jeanne glanced from Bette back to her son. “What’s … going on here?”
“Nothing, Mom.”
“You think that pressuring my little girl means nothing?” Bette growled, earning the attention of the boy’s father. Then they were all aware, and all staring at him.
Angelica stood shyly behind Bette.
“I want you to know that if you ever bother her again, I’m pressing charges. This won’t be tolerated.”
“Don’t you think you’re overreacting?” Angelica asked quietly, but they’d all heard.
Bette was trying to control her anger. “No. No, I don’t.” She looked up to Jeanne. “Do you?”
Ralph suddenly looked very worried, his face flushed with guilt.
“Apologize,” Bette instructed, angling so that he could see Angelica standing there. “Now.”
“S-sorry.”
Angelica just looked down, pulling gently on Bette’s wrist, and then they were gone. Leaving Ralph to explain himself, and to own up to what he’d done. And as humiliated as Angelica appeared, she liked that Bette had been there for her. That someone knew what Ralph had tried with her, and that Bette didn’t think it was okay. A part of her had begun to wonder if that was normal behaviour.

As I have said in some previous comments, I so love Angie, I had a feeling that Ralph was going to cross the line-Bette let him off easy. I am so in love with how you write this family. Sad to see the story come to an end, but thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Will be sad to see this end as I am with all of your stories. So beautifully written and perfectly sequenced.
gosh this has been such an amazing story I don’t wanna have it end GR!!! Loved the lovely and fun moments between Angelica and her Moms in this chapter. Angie really is such a great kid and they are a wonderful family enjoying being proud and supergay! lol Thanks GR, hope to read more from you soon!!! :D
Ten stars! It’s been an amazing ride. All your stories are wonderful. Sad that this had to end. But I hope there’s going to be more of the same soon. Thanks for the new chappie.

Thanks GR for amazing update! And most of all, big thanks for sharing wonderful story with us here! I enjoy reading each paragraph, and even after so many pages I still yearn to read more!! You are so talented! And thankfully also so generous to share your amazing talent with us! :-) will stick around for more update from you! PPVS
Such an amazing story. A snapshot of contemporary Americana. Bette is ticked off w/Ralph (who names their kid Ralph nowadays/) just as any parent would be. She’s not embarrassed to stick up for her kid. Bette accepts her own gayness and doesn’t try to hide it as if it is something to be ashamed of even when chastise Ralph in front of his Mom. I love all the thoughts that are in italics so we get a glimpse into their own feelings. Please don’t end this story. Consider bringing us episodes of other moments in their lives. This is one great family.
So sad this story gonna end soon, but hopefully u will give us another great story. Angie indeed had wonderful relationship with her patents that made me jealous. And the tibette this story presented is romantic and hilarious. Thanks for your story again. Really appreciate!
