Chapter Fifteen
The smile on Bette’s face reached down into the depths of her soul and set about an inner glow that had been missing in recent months. She was lying on her back on her bed, dangling a giggling Angelica in the air as the toddler squealed and kicked her plump limbs. Her dark brown eyes twinkled with carefree glee and in this moment, the pain and recent trials and tribulations Bette had endured faded away.
Their chorus of giggles filled the often-empty room and Bette brought her bundle of laughing joy down from above her and kissed the chubby cheeks. She sat the little girl down on top of her and met Angie’s big brown eyes.
"Mama loves Boo," she said, softly.
"Mama," Angelica cooed, her smile seemingly a permanent fixture on her small, honeyed face.
"Mama loves Boo," Bette repeated, before kissing her daughter’s little hands.
"Mama lub Boo," Angelica replied.
"Yes Baby, Mama loves Boo."
These were the moments Bette pined for on long, lonely nights. The beaming grin plastered across her daughter’s face was the same smile that haunted her dreams when Angie was not underfoot. They shifted position then. Betted laid her carbon copy down on the bed; setting up an Alice in Wonderland-like mirror image. Both rested on their stomachs, elbows resting on the bed, chins in palms, big brown eyes meeting and sharing an equal embodiment of childlike wonder.
The awe and mothering twinkle sparkled brightly in Bette as she gazed at the precious little person before her and asked, "Well Boo, what are we gonna do now?"
Angelica cooed and smiled, seemingly to express her lack of ideas.
Bette thought aloud, tilting her head as she did so. "Let’s see….we came home, you had a little refreshing diaper change, we had snackies and relaxed by the pool. Are you hungry, Boo?"
Angie clapped her chubby little hands, grateful for the attention and pleased that someone was finally addressing her as an equal.
Bette chuckled. "Maybe you are hungry. Mama’s not that hungry. Snack time still has me feeling pretty good. But Mama’s sure that you had a long day and want something nice in your belly before bed."

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, Tina. Awesome, that Bette is having a wonderful time with her Boo. Angie lubs Mama
I am really enjoying your story. Very nice depiction of what Tina may have gone through after she realized she had made such a huge mistake with Henry. Love the writing style. Still have to pull for Tibette in the end though….. PPS
Thank you for this chapter, I simple love and adore when Angie is with either of mothers, because you can clearly see and feel the love that they have for her. Angie+Bette is perfection. I totally agree with your comments about Tina, but I like to add also that Tina didn’t love herself or think that she was worth much during those times and also in the first season.Unfortunately for Bette and Henry they got caught in the crossfire of Tina’s confusion, fear, self-loath and desperation for something to complete her which is why even thought I understand her actions and still love her, I totally don’t blame either Henry or Bette for reacting the way they have. Unintentionally pain hurt just as much as intentional pain, the only difference is that it’s easier to forgive unintentionally pain.Please have Tina concentration on herself and Angie.
Great update. I loved the Mama and Boo alone time. They needed it…I just hope that Tina will stop having that familiarity feeling. That Bette will symphatize how she feels. I feel that Tina still expect Bette to be on her side. I’m proud of Tina’s decision of starting a clean break by ending it w/ henry. I hope Tina will start to grow up again as a strong woman and a mother to Angie. I also think that she should just stop pinning for Bette and expect anything at this time. She needed a lot of work to prove not only to bette but to angie & all her friends that she is a strong and sincere person w/ a good heart and knows what she wants in her life…… I know that Bette is longing for some human contact and someone to talk. I just dont understand the bonding that she developed very fast with Helena, knowing that she was the reason of her many failures in her career, compared to her long timed friends such as Alice and shane or her sister Kit. Whatever is cooking in your mind MTS w/ regards to Bette and Helena relationship, I really am having a hard time thinking of them more than friends. Maybe my Tibette heart will break, but I will respect your decision as you are an amazing writer. :)
Tina had to learn the hard way that it’s not always greener on the other side. I’m still a TiBetter at heart and hope they find their way back to each other. PPS
i think bette and tina’s connection was broken before bette’s affair but since we didn’t really see anything on a show that told us about tibette 7 years together before that, i do believe that the connection was there…sometimes when you feel betrayed by someone you love, it hurts more than anything and it might take time to forgive and get that connection back…not sure where this story is going but no matter who bette will end up with, i hope tibette will at least get that connection back..i hope i make sense lol
Mama + Boo = priceless! Well, we know Tina’s incapable of spending time on her own, so I wonder what’s next. This is going to be interesting….PPS!
Poor Bette, wondering if Helena is sharing ‘textual goodness’ with another. Poor Tina, having to lie in the bed she’s made. Bette needs her new friend, and Tina… she needs one too. I just don’t think Bette can be that friend right now. Tina will either have to look elsewhere for that friendship, or be a better friend to herself. Thanks for the post, MTS! :)
Bette is really enjoying motherhood. She deserves it. Tina is floundering. So confused.
Spumoni lub Angelica. Spumoni lub Bette. Spumoni lub MTS. Tina? Um. No comment.
Bette and Angie are so cute together.Another great chapter.Thank you.
Loved the way you described Bette’s interaction with Angie and I can understand to an extend Tina’s need to talk to Bette, after her emotional conversation with Henry, but on the other hand I also understand Bette diverting the convo to Angelica. Bette and Tina are on shaky ground at the moment, they didn’t resolve any of their problems, and I can imagine that Bette’s really confused at the moment about Tina acting as if they were still best of friends. In addition Bette’s need to seek out Helena is perfectly understandable to me too. She was after all the first one to pay attention to Bette and started to show interest in her. Taking into consideration their similarities such as being raised by very demanding single parents, both failing in their long term relationships, both not being the birth mothers to their children and having to fight for joint custody, it makes perfectly sense for Bette turn to Helena instead of her other friends or sister. Great post, thanks very much.
Just wonderful. Excellent writing. thank you.
Bette and Angie are so cute together. The pages fly by so fast. I need more, more, more! PPS!!
Hey MTS, A great couple of chapters as Tina and Henry really got a chance to break-up properly. It was interesting to read Tina’s reaction to Henry’s accusations that Tina had used used him as a means to an end.Then the talk between Bette and Tina added more fuel to the fire as Bette began to see her Tina re-emerge. The best bit was that Bette was still focussed on Helena.Bette and Angie together were adorable.Can’t wait to read more as I am still hopeful of a reunion for Bette and Tina as they have returned to their own selves.Thank you for this insightful drama.Your Loyal Fan.
Keep it coming. Please :D
I love Angie and Bette time. I really can’t see Bette with anyone else but Tina. How ever, Tina needs to know herslf and what she really wants before Bette and Her could try to be together. They have a wonderful baby girl and I think they have to concentrate on her wellbeing first which is asking a lot of communication tolerence and forgiveness, less anger and hate from both of them.It will be great to have them back together, Angie deserves all the effort from both of them but they also own it for each other.
