“Ralph. I put him there lots,” she grinned, pushing out to tread water and look for nickels on the pool floor.
“Oh, is that right?”
“I think I lost the other one.”
“Race you!” Bette laughed, each of them struggling to find it, and Angelica won after all. And after all of that hard work, a little sleep did wonders for them all. However, Bette and Angelica found it quite funny that Tina was the first to fall asleep.
“She hardly even swam with us,” Angelica chuckled, crossing her legs in her own bed as she looked over to Tina, fast asleep, cuddled up next to Bette. “Mom’s always been like that. It’s like if water touches her, she just passes out. Tres weird.”
Bette laughed, too, but she was careful not to be too loud. “But she loves the pool at home. She swims in it all the time.”
“Maybe it’s hotels then. I don’t know.”
Bette smiled in the comfortable silence, both of them half-watching the television show playing quietly. She played with a strand of Tina’s hair and closed her eyes, too, just thinking of her wife. She loved her so much.
“Or maybe it’s you.”
Bette opened her eyes at Angelica’s words, holding Tina just a little bit closer. “You really think so?”
“Well, she always sleeps well with you. Always has, probably. I don’t know. Right?”
“Did she have troubles with sleep before?”
“Well let’s see … she was an over-worked single mother who started batting for the other team. Yes, she was a weird sleeper. She used to just fall asleep all the time, all over the place, but never when she should. And now … I don’t know. It’s kind of nice seeing her just zonk out when you guys are together. I don’t know … like … she’ll be okay.” Angelica tried to be nonchalant about that last comment.
“She’ll always be safe with me. I promise.”
Angelica knew that, but it was always nice to hear. “Yeah. And she feels that way too, or she wouldn’t be so happy with you all the time.”
Bette laughed, “She makes me happy too. You know … my assistant, James … I think he used to be scared of me. But ever since I started seeing your mother … I don’t know. She just has this magical sort of effect on me. The bossy, serious me just seems to disappear, and it gives way to this more playful, loving person that I thought I lost a long time ago. You mom is the best thing that ever happened to me – not that you didn’t already know that.”

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.
Such a great story and only one chapter left-soooo sad.
This has been an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can’t wait for the next one.
Such a good story. You are an amazing writer, thanks
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!
