Tina immediately put Angelica back on her feet and crouched next to her, so they could be at eye level. “Hunny … that word is not a nice word, and I don’t want to hear you repeating it. Do you understand, baby?”
Angelica looked sad.
“It’s not your fault,” Tina said gently, pulling Angelica in for a hug. “I’m not upset, sweetie. I just want you to know that I don’t want to hear it again.”
“But Mommy said it,” Angelica whined.
Tina looked up at Bette, and then back to Angelica. “Mommy … made a mistake.”
“Okay,” Angelica said quietly, met with Tina’s smile.
“Thank you. I love you baby.”
That made Angelica smile. “I love you too, Mommy.” Her mother’s smile always had that effect on her.
“Go ahead and watch Spongebob,” Tina said, getting to her feet as she looked at Bette. “Your mommies have to talk.”
Gulp. Bette was worried – no matter how many times she had been in trouble at work, those people meant nothing to her. For once, someone she truly cared for was upset with her. She didn’t know how to feel about it.
Angelica sat on the couch and Bette followed Tina back into their room.
“Bette – what were you thinking?” Tina whispered, a breath of laughter escaping once the door had closed. “Shit? Shit?! Of all swear words, that’s her first?”
Bette’s eyes bugged out, “That was her first swear word?”
Tina put her hand on her hip. “Well I don’t know. Are there more?”
Worriedly, Bette brought her hands up in front of her, as if Tina would attack full force. “No! No no no … I just … I was wondering.”
Tina had to smile at the look on Bette’s face. “What is up with you?”
She didn’t know how to answer, but wondered about Tina’s anger. “Are you … still mad?”
“Maybe on some level,” Tina sighed, taking a seat on the edge of their bed. “Ughh … I just hate that she was exposed to that sort of language at all. I mean, I know she’ll encounter it at some point in her life because she’s growing up, but …” Slowly, Tina looked up. This was odd. Bette was just standing there nervously, and not seated beside her like she usually would be if Tina seemed upset. After noticing the complete lack of physical contact, Tina noticed how much she truly missed it. Bette was usually so sensitive and supportive. “Baby?”

I do not know how Tina is not feeling sad, confused and rejected. Bette totally weird and avoiding it at all costs. Even with the look of love Bette.
Loving this story!!! I am glad Bette is starting to bond with angie. Happy Bette stopped herself and put Tina first. Thank you PPS
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! such torture for our poor Bette but it was soooo the right thing to do (though i reckon 99.9% of your readers were wishing for a different outcome!) can’t wait to read the next chapter, please be quick ;)
I just caught up and I am loving this story. :) Can’t wait for more! Thanks for posting!
Such a sweet, funny and sad chap, all in one! Bette finally saw what she’s been missing in her life, love how she’s tryig to be fair to ‘other Bette’, how she’s not using opportunity. Can’t wait for next chap! Damn, it’s soo funny!!!!
“And you’re good for my ego,” Best line ever (lol)I don’t know how many more nights Bette will be able to fake sleeping before Tina gets suspicious. Bette needs to bite the bullet and tell Tina she can’t remember anything so they can move forward & Bette can get back to her real life and reclaim her Tina that she let go all those years ago. Thanks for the update!
Another great chapter – funny, cute and poignant. Of course that is what Angie would wear given free choice – wouldn’t we all?! And Bette was quite right to pretend to be asleep as to do anything else would have been wrong, very wrong… bad… bad Bette….. and we don’t want a bad Bette, do we? No, really, do we? Sorry, drifted off there for a moment! I love the way you are developing the growing connection between Bette and Angie, and the beautiful reconnection Bette is feeling with Tina, with the sadness that entails. Thank you!
That’s awesome that you want to work in education. I don’t teach, but admire those who chose to do it. I’m torn between wanting to watch “Family Man” or not. I think I’ll wait until your story is finished, which I’m hoping will be many postings from now. By the way, I’ve slipped a few times with my language in front of the students also. Not many, but more than once and less than four times, not bad for eleven years there.
A bit over the edge?..hehe cuz you’ve end it there?..And mix emotion..Sad, Bette just found out what she’s missing in her ‘life?’…But happy as hell!..Finally she’s got her answer. …But if this is base on a movie? So it means? she will be yank out from there?..Now that she knows what she’s been missing in her life? … OMG!
I really like what you are doing with this story. I love the movie family man and I love tibette so its perfect! PPS
This is a cute family story. I love how Bette is trying to live this life and wanting to stay in it with Tina and Angelica.
i love this story its funny but happy as well and cute an all adorable especially angie’s outfit
Excellent thank you. Love this.
This is my most fav holiday story!!! Adorable! I imagine Bette having 2 angels -one on her left shoulder (Bad Bette) and one on her right shoulder (Good Bette) and the argument between the 2 “angels” over whether to have sex with beautiful Tina. Sigh obviously…”Good angel Bette” won this round. Yes, I’m glad Bette’s got integrity…but you know…(puppy dog eyes)…longing for your NC-17. :)
The point you made about Bette not having the right to sleep with Tina, was something that has been totally overseen in the film. And it was an important one. Told you…this story is so much better!
It is so cute to see Bette bonding with Angelica. Do you think Bette will start bonding with Tina in one of your NC-17s? I hope Angelica does not pick up ‘NC-17’ as a new swear word!
Your description of Angie’s outfit was adorable. I can just imagine the tutu over the Spidey costume. Will Tina ever discover the problems Bette is having or will Bette ever tell her? She ca’t keep Tina waiting to “discuss the bills” every time. Bette will have to succumb to desire and Tinas needs or tell her the truth. This story is actually funny and sad at the same time. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Wow…I’m just loving this story. I never saw the movie (I can’t stand Cage)but I am aware of the premise and it’s lovly to see our girls wrapped up in its story line. I look forward to your updates – can’t wait for the next post :)
Thanks for the update, I look forward to more chapters of this story.
omg u depicted my fav scene in the movie. I just remember thinking how great it must feel to have the person u have been with for years look at u, as if it was the first time. great job. glad tina didnt get mad at bette for going to ‘sleep’.
Poor Bette,this is torture.Great story.Thank you.
She was proud of herself for resisting something so incredibly tempting – we’re gonna hafta call her Super(family)Woman ;-)
I just love the way you have written the characters in this story. Angie is absolutely adorable, Tina is so loving that she is overlooking all of Bette’s odd behavior. Bette is very endearing as she tries to figure out what she wants out of life. I can’t wait for the next chapter.
“Discussing the bills” being their secret codeword for sex! I honestly think I hurt myself laughing – this story is just hilariously perfect.
That was so cute and sweet, love Bette being good girl. Please post soon, thanks!
Bi that was awesome. Great story for the holidays. Keep the great work and good luck with your finals. You’ll do great. Thank you:)
I love the part about “Look at me like you haven’t seen me every day for the last 13 years?” That is my second favorite quote from this film. Top one comes from the scene at the airport. Thanks for posting. I am enjoying this story.
