After much deliberation, Bette and Tina decided to go to the Planet to celebrate their Mother’s Day. Brunch plans had been made prior to this point – prior to their own celebration together.
Not that that celebration lasted as long as either liked. The two were snuggled together when they heard the first stirring of Angelica. The girl awoke, crying, as she was wont to do lately regardless of where she was staying.
Another issue was Bette’s attire. She had wanted to stop by her house to change, to get out of the ultra casual wear. Tina insisted there wasn’t time. They’d spent so much time debating the issue that, when all was said and done, there wasn’t even time to arrive at the agreed time. Still, as far as discussions went, this one was remained rather amiable, in line with its level of importance.
They entered together, hand in hand. Willing to brave the talk any questions and comments from their friends.
Questions and comments, the number of which they received was exactly none. After all, Shane, Alice, and Kit already knew. Max hadn’t been around before, and didn’t fully understand the history. Helena wasn’t surprised; despite her own history with Tina the two were now close friends. Finally, Jenny rarely looked beyond her own navel unless she needed new material for an ‘original’ work.
As she took a seat next to Shane, Tina gave her friend’s hand a squeeze. Paige was again absent which sent a loud message about the state of their relationship.
Shane gave a barely discernible smile. The interplay between the two passed without notice by the others.
“Hey, big A.” Shane diverted her attention to Angelica. “Want to spend a little time with your best buddy?” She held her hands out and the toddler readily climbed into her lap.
Tina handed over a sippy cup with juice and the rainbow bunny, which currently held the place as ‘must have’ in the Angelica toy pantheon.
“You guys are late, we’ve ordered.” Alice’s statement earned a few laughs around the table.
“One of us was a little crabby today,” Tina explained. She turned over her coffee cup, hoping someone from the attentive wait staff would be over quickly to fill the vessel.

Bette must have something up her sleeve, because seriously, she shows up at God knows what time, they get intimate for the first time since???, and then she wants to go catch a ride with the neighbor…plus, where is Bette’s car? Isn’t it at Tina’s? How else did she get there in the middle of the night/early morning. Nope, I think Bette has a real Mother’s Day plan, waiting to put it in action…don’t leave us hanging too long!
I say, Bette should pack and bag and move in with Tina and Angelica until they can all be together in the house. I hate to read that Angelica is crying. It’s not my kid. Spoil her! Thanks for this story, showing the downside of all the lovey-dovey makeup stuff.
Yes, I love lovey-dovey makeup stuff, it’s what we Tibetters live for. Don’t get me wrong. ….Thanks!
Swimmie, always happy to see a new post from you. Enjoying this story and the way you are posting as times of day, etc. Great. I agree, “shoot Jenny now.”
My mom and dad used the car to get me to stop crying when I was Angelica’s age and to this day I get in the car for a long trip and I am out like a light. Of course I am not driving or I may never wake up. This is so cute. I love how all the girls are back together well except for Jenny the freak. Even Kit is doing better. I love your dialogue.
Pseud, Many thanks for another fine chapter in this most excellent of reads. Love Bette’s attempt to talk about they future in the midst of a busy restaurant with a screaming child. Even more pleasing to see Tina stick to her guns re moving back ‘home’ and giving into Angelica’s tantrum. Great way to show how far Tina has come. The gals were wonderful as they quietly accepted the truth between Bette and Tina. They just know that these gals belong together. I do hope Bette calls soon. Lover-ly. Your Loyal Fan.
poor tina bette shulda stayed with her for the day, never mind clothes….anges right for crying mama b shulda been with them…not just left t there…not happy…and shoot jenny now..pps
My sister also said “Happy Mother’s Day to me” she was doing the food shopping to make her own Mother’s Day dinner for her family. As always enjoyed the post.
By the looks of things, if they keep talking (Bette had better call), and don’t rush it (Tina moving back to the house? Bette, c’mon now. Too soon.), Tina hopefully won’t be doing things like calming Angelica down on her own for too much longer. Big gestures, and small steps, but they’re at least moving forward, together. I enjoyed it pseud, as I always do. Thanks for making time to post.
Hey P, what a nice surprise to see you’ve posted. “Jenny rarely looked beyond her own navel…” That made me laugh out loud. You have a real patience with these characters that few writers can match. Thanks for taking the time to flesh out a realistic story for their ever developing relationship. Writing is a good break from stress! Creative outlet and all…More when you can. Thanks!
Psued, thanks for taking time to give us an update of your lovely story.
Wow, this was great. You really captured all the different emotions that each of the girls were experiencing on this Mother’s Day. You are definately in tune with the personalities, and it shows so clearly in the dialect, verbage, and descriptions you use. I think they still have alot of work to do to get at the point where they would be in a “healthy” place to live together though. A little more time, lots of communication, and definately lots of patience. Gotta love little Ange, so true to what a child would be doing when she sees one parent leaving like that. Thanks P, for posting, and how could we forget you?
I think that maybe Bette should get something else for Tina. Something more than a celebration fuck. And Bette is a mother too so maybe she should get something too. I guess Angelica isn’t used to her parents spending so much time together. As usual I enjoyed this. Hopefully Bette won’t hound Tina about moving in. Thanks.
Another great chapter pseud! Those two still got some way to go and am sure you’ll make the journey enjoyable for us :)
Always greatful for the update. Tina was right in not giving in to Angelica w/the tantrum, she’ll get use to it, especially if they stick to trying to work things out. Bette did kinda jump the gun with the moving in part, but at least she’s letting Tina know she does really want her. Maybe they’ll have a quiet yet romantic Mother’s Day evening.
‘Happy Mother’s Day to me,’ Tina thought to herself as she drove away, Angelica battling the radio to be the loudest sound in the car. ‘We are so taking the long way home.’ LMAO!!!!!!! Tina’s right. They are nowhere near ready to live together as a family again. Hopefully they get there.
Ah, that Jenny. Not only an artist of singular originality, but such sparkling conversation. I believe a prior generation would have called her a killjoy. But I’m just not buying that Bette’s only (or even foremost) concern was Angelica when she wafted the idea of Tina moving back to the homestead.
Hmm. Things are still so awkward between them. Bette goes from being aloof to asking Tina to move in with her. They definitely need some more time together soon. I hope Bette calls.. or does something unexpectedly good because this story has shown more of Tina’s inner thoughts about hope for the relationship so far. Angelica is adorable.. even though in real life a crying kid is totally not cute. Thanks for taking the time to write even though you obviously have a hectic real life going on. PPS.
better to nip it now. cuz dayum those kids can get spoiled. bette needs to keep talking and not hiding. thanks.
Hope Bette call!
