Friendship Foundation – Epilogue
Story written on March 7, 2013 by justkeepswimming.
"You go first," Tina said. "It doesn’t take me as long to dry my hair."
"You just don’t want to be the one to face Angie first," Bette charged.
"Well, that’s true," Tina admitted. "But I really don’t need as long to get ready either."
"We could shower together?"
"The sound of us showering together will necessitate some kind of future therapy for our child," Tina said. "Go shower."
"Good way to start the day," Bette commented.
"Absolutely," Tina replied. "Now go."
Bette leaned for one last kiss before rising out of bed.
They were soon gathering around the kitchen table to share breakfast as a family.
"I can hear," Angie said as Tina took a seat.
"I’m sorry," Tina repeated.
"Your parents have sex," Bette said, placing a glass of fresh apple juice in front of each of them. "Get over it."
"You’re not that loud," Angie directed this comment to Bette.
"Please stop this conversation!" Tina said. "I’ll be quieter."
"Play some music or something," Angie said.
"We thought you were sleeping," Tina said.
"Who can sleep through that?" Angie asked. "Seriously mother."
"Oh oh, she ‘mothered’ you," Bette said. She went on to speak directly to Angie. "Loving affection between consenting adults is a perfectly natural way to experience your sexuality. You are hereby forbidden from doing it until you’ve completed your first Bachelor’s degree."
"Eww, as if I ever want to do it," Angie grimaced.
"Good girl," Bette said.
"Bette, don’t be ridiculous," Tina said. "Your mom’s kidding. Just know that we’re here for you to talk to when you decide it’s something you are interested in exploring. Just remember those kinds of decisions are your decisions."
"Don’t let anyone try to talk you into anything you’re not interested in," Bette reiterated. "And there are things you need to do to protect your health."
"Okay, next time I won’t say anything," Angie sighed. "You two doing it always turns into me getting a sex talk."
"Nothing wrong with being informed," Bette said.
"There’s such a thing as too much information," Angie put a spoonful of oatmeal in her mouth.
"Well, I disagree," Tina said. "And a few uncomfortable breakfasts is worth it for you to know that you can talk to us about anything."
"I know I can," Angie said. "And it’s way better than Emily’s parents. She says all she ever hears is them fighting. I definitely don’t say what I hear you two doing."
"See?" Bette said. "It’s good for kids to know their parents love each other."
"I guess it’s good in a way," Angie reluctantly agreed. "I know I’m not going to come home at the end of the day and find one of you has moved out."
"Sweetie, I know it’s hard to see your friends going through that," Tina said. "That’s not us."
"Feels kinda good that way," Angie admitted. "But seeing you two hold hands gives me the same security, just so you know."
"Message received, love," Bette said. "Maybe we’ll get our bedroom soundproofed."
Angie shook her head and continued eating her breakfast.
Bette winked at Tina, who offered a smile and a wink in return. And they all finished their breakfast in silence before going their separate ways for the day, secure in the love they shared as a family.
(the end.)

Great ending/epilogue. Loved it. Thank you
Ok, this is officially 32. Thank you for this story, hope we hear from you soon.
I see where you can jump off this story into a sequel. Hope you are back writting after your break.
Yet another terrific story from you! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to reading even more from you in the future.
Hey now…my proposition was not fake. I could totally make out with you.
Just love the interaction among the three of them. Bette properly embarrassing Angie, Tina trying to divert attention to another topic and Angie realizing and verbalizing her parents for each other and for her. Thanks for fulfilling your promise of 32 chapters. You can write and have a great sense of humor. ;-)
Make this a sequel please!!! 12 year old Angelica as you write her would be a riot!
Lol too funny great ending
“Who can sleep through that?” Angie asked. “Seriously mother.” – “Oh oh, she ‘mothered’ you,” Bette said. – – – lol, great stuff !
this was awesome. light, warm, funny, thoughtful, romantic. thanks.
Great epilogue! I love this twelve year old Angie. Even better getting a glimpse of Bette and Tina still together and happy after there reconciliation! Hope to read you back here after a short writing break! Thank you for your time.
Please come back soon. I had withdrawal symptoms between Chps. 31 and 32.
I was going to read this in the morning, but couldn’t resist. I love that they’re still in love after 16 years and have a kid with a good sence of humor. Don’t be gone too long cause we all love your writing.
You RULE, jks! Thanks for the final, fab chapter!
You mean other people were fake flirting and fake proposing marriage? I really need to step up my fake game to set myself apart! I’ll hold your umbrella when it rains, I’ll carry the grocery bags at the farmer’s market and I’ll even let you decide which way the toilet paper should hang! Thanks again for the time you spend writing for us Enjoy your break and special times with your family.
Thank you, jks, for coming back with an epilogue. This has been such an entertaining story and I love where you left it. Cheers! :)
“Oh oh, she mothered you”..best comment ever!
Very nice, loved it
Loved it, thanks for the dessert.
Lovely way to wrap it up! Thanks for the story
enjoyed the epilogues as much as the rest of the story…thank you for sharing your great talent with us
Lighthearted ending. Thank you for taking us on this journey. I’ve thoroughly enjoying this story. Hope to see more from you.
You say it’s the end but clearly your adoring fans think otherwise ;0) Loved this series Swimmie! Angie made me laugh out loud. I remember the “sex talks” with my mom. Embarrassed the hell out of me as a kid but later I was grateful for her openness. As others have mentioned, it’s nice to read a healthy version of Tina and Bette (the potential was always there too bad IC didn’t run with it). I’ll look forward to future posts. I really enjoy your writing.
Thanks for posting this epilogue. It’s good to see they’re still going strong and providing Angie with a secure loving environment. Enjoy your break but please don’t make it too long :)
Lovely ending.Please come back soon.I will miss you.
Awww, this is sweet, funny and embarrassing at the same time. Given their strong foundation, I had a feeling this version of Bette and Tina will have a totally different and far better romantic history than the ones on the show. That sweet morning interlude perfectly captured their enduring love. This Angie is like the older version of the Angie in “A Second Chance at Forever” and I love her! I have many friends who cringe at the thought of their parents having sex and I have friends whose children have caught them having sex. Awkward and embarrassing for both parties but they will all learn to get past it. Parents have sex, it happens. But if Tina will keep her promise to be quieter, Angie will be less embarrassed. Or maybe she can use a headset. I LOL at Bette’s suggestion to soundproof their bedroom. The “soundproofing” line reminded me of two of the loveliest and funniest stories I’ve ever read here: Alchemy’s “Just the Girl” and Spumoni’s “Backstory”. It’s been a pleasure reading this story, your writing, jks. Many thanks for your creativity and generosity! By all means, take a break. But I hope you won’t stay away too long. Take care, jks. Cheers! =)
Glad to have this story flagged up and enjoyed the read.
Finally! I just finished this amazing story after reading off and on all day. I got interupted some many times today. Now, I”m off to read another story until I fall asleep. Thanks!
This is my favorite epilogue of any Tibette stories. Its so adorable and family-ish. I wish so hard we got more of this on TV.
I’ve done a reread of this Story in it’s entirety and thoroughly enjoyed it
Wish there was a new jks story around
Stay safe and well everyone
