Bette turned off the ignition of her car and leaned back into the driver’s seat before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, today had been less than stellar. She exhaled slowly in an attempt to shed her work and settle the throbbing at her temples. Her eyes shot open at the sound of a child screaming, her child. Hastily gathering her things she stepped out of the car, Angelica’s piercing scream rang out again and Bette’s heart raced as she found her key and bounded up the steps. Pushing open the front door Bette had a full view of Tina’s back as she crouched in front of Angelica, holding the screaming toddler by her arms.
“Shut up!” Tina ordered in a voice that made Bette’s jaw clench.
Bette caught sight of Tina’s hand as it swung back and she wasted no time covering the distance between them, taking a vice like grip of Tina’s wrist as Angelica cowered beneath the blonde.
“T” Bette’s voice raised over Angelica’s screams, “Tina!”
When Bette felt Tina’s arm go slack she let the other woman go and moved in to pick up her distraught daughter.
“It’s ok Angie, Momma B’s here now.” She said as she held the shaking child to her body and put some distance between herself and Tina.
Angelica hiccupped as she drew shaky breaths through her tears, burying her head into her mother’s neck.
“It’s alright baby, I’ve got you, you’re safe now.” Bette whispered as she rubbed Angie’s back.
Slowly Angelica began to settle and Bette carried her into the bathroom and set the little girl down on the counter top before wiping her cheeks and nose.
“I’m so sorry, Angie” Bette whispered as she looked over her daughter.
“Momma T mad.” Angie said without reservation, her eyes wide with desperation that her mother understood.
“Why was she mad?” Bette asked the toddler, wishing her daughter had the words to tell her everything.
“Hurt finger in door.” Angelica raised the little finger of her right hand for inspection. Bette took the finger in her hand and looked it over, it was more red than pink where Angelica must have caught it in a door, thankfully the damage looked minimal. Lowering her head Bette kissed the finger gently before placing it in Angelica’s lap.

You’re one of my favorite writers. It’s good to have you back! I’m worried about Tina. She’s dangerous. Bette seems used to it, as though it’s happened before. Yeah, I thought PPD at first too. She could just be psychotic. PPS!
Another new story to get my teeth into looking forward to the next post/
It great to have you back! It looks like we’re in for a bumpy ride…and the bumpier the better! Thanks for the great chapter can’t wait for more!
I have a feeling this is going to be a painful story to read but I know this is gonna be good because you’re writing it. Tina, what has happened to you?
Thank you HackGirl. I can’t wait to ‘turn’ the pages to uncover why and what’s next.
Man–intense! I am along for the ride, but the vision I have of Tina isn’t a good one. I hope she heals, whatever is going on with her. Please post soon! Thanks!
Thank you for posting again! Your stories are always so good. You Break It You Replace It was a fabulous story! This first chapter just reached out and grabbed the reader. There’s a whole lot of pain in this house…help them please! Thanks!
I hope you continue. Thanks.
Glad you’re posting again… Eager to see more and exactly what’s up with Tina. She seems… in pain and distant like she’s broken or something, if she was ready to hit Angie. thanks for the chapter.
Brilliant – are you going to break my heart cos that would be mean ? Great to see you posting
Hey girl I’m so glad to see your name come up. Great beginning I can only assume Tina in so post delivery depression. But can’t wait to see where you’re going
I’m baffled. Angelica’s too old for Post Delivery Depression I think? One thing I’m sure of- great to see you back posting HackGirl! (best name on the site IMHO)
“smells” like life.thank you
Hackgirl, You will break our hearts not just with this story but also by disappearing on us again. Please don’t.
So happy to see you posting a story once again. I look forward to where you take us with this. Lin
Wonderful start. I feel like it’s going to be such a sad story. I hope not. Thank you for posting.
Hey HackGal, Intriguing beginning as Tina is remote and selfish while Bette tries to persuade her to talk.Can’t wait to read more.Don’t go breaking my TnB heart now.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Very gald to see you back!!! Now Tina is in some pain but from what? Thank you PPS
Gosh!!! What is happening???Great to have you back but please don’t make me cry and break my heart pmsl. I can’t recognise Tina??? Why was she yelling at Angie??? PPVS can’t wait to the next post.
Oh no. I felt sucker-punched when I realized Tina was about to hit Angie. Please don’t go there. On the other hand, don’t listen to the comments! Looking forward to seeing where this goes. I can’t think of a single illness other than addiction that might lead someone to treat a child this way unless it was already in their nature to do so. This is going to be a rough ride, isn’t it? PPS and welcome back!
