Angelica grabbed her cell phone and turned it on, waiting for the phone to come alive. Once it did she pushed the button to access her text function.
'Can't wait until tonight. I love you!'
Angelica hit the send button and put the phone down waiting to hear what she suspected would be sent back. She waited for Darren to write he loved her too, which would urge her even further down a path of destruction for the night.

Well, *that* went well, didn't it? I didn't expect Bette to be so angry about it, though. I think the one not listening now is Bette, not Tina. I hope she doesn't go haring over there, shouting at Megan at 4 in the morning... And as for Angie, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with such a hard head. Wait a minute, I take that back. She *is* a Porter, after all. Excellent, Gumby, thanks!

Kids! Can't live with them, can't live without them! Impulsive spouses! Can't live...I thought Megan and Janet had the clinic incident back when she was a lot younger and had no money for a proper doctor? But Sarah is the product of that event? I hope Angelica survives her teen-aged insanity. Thanks for posting!

So good! You didn't forget about "Angelica, The Movie....The Good, the Bad, the Ugly" Just hope that Angie doesn't give up her virginity b/c of peer pressure or some dream she has of this relationship or trying to deny her parents sexuality by performing what is thought to be the ultimate heterosexual act. She struggles so much with being "different". Always a pleasure to read your stories. This one has to be one of my favorites. It's so hard to choose. :-)

If Angie wants to learn the hard way, fine by me. Her friends or even herself will call their mothers after Darren plays his cards. Emotional history and Bette is right, Sarah deserves the 20% fight. A humble reader and fan.

For Angie's sake, I hope the credit card bill arrive later in the day. As for Bette, she has a point about Megan not giving up on her child till' the end. On the other hand, given her condition I can understand her need to use whatever left of her precious time to ensure Sarah's future. Heartwrenching dilenma for any parent to face. I'm quite horrible at commenting but do know that I really enjoy this story. Thanks.

What is it with teenagers that they just live in thier own world? I hate to think I was like this! I really hope Angie gets so very busted on this! She deserves whatever punishment she can get! unfornately the worst punishment that angie will even respond to is from her peers. What is Bette thinking? Does she really believe that when she speaks her word is the end all be all and everyone must do as she says? She and Angie are in the same damn boat and I LOVE IT! lol Post soon! P.S-What does a girl have to do to get a decent shoutout? I'm just wondering! :)

Thanks for the excellent update. Can understand Bette's reaction but what's with Angelica. Is she too dense to understand the severity of the situation that she's already in? Pretty heavy stuff but, nonetheless beautiful writing. Thanks again.

Hey Gumby, Another fabulous chapter. Tina's reluctance to explain the whole situation with Megan and Sarah was well perceived as Bette flew off the handle at Megans' decision not to fight. Sometimes the difficult choice is to let go and accept what is happening to you and those around you. It was heartbreaking to read how these traumatic times brought back unpleasant memories of past events. Events that shaped Tina and Bette's life together irrevocably. These errors broke them apart but fate also brought them back together; stronger, more open and able to defend their relationship against all sources of scrutiny. Tina was shocked by Bette's reaction, as was I. I think this is an over-reaction to all the recent events and Bette's belief that will can overcome all disease and illness. Shee needs to talk things through with Megan and see them from her point of view. Walking in someione's shoes is the ionly way to truly sympathize with their life and choices. I want to see Bette listen to Megan and then try to convince her to fight for survival. Whatever way it all plays out, I know it will be wonderfully written and caringly crated. Gumby, you always make me see and feel so much. Thank you for this marvelous melodrama. Your Loyal Fan.

My goodness Angelica must have big feet because Bette/JB takes at least a size 9-10!!!! Bette is such a hot heat who acts on impulse at her age!!! Talk about grown up...NOT...thats where Ange gets it from definitely...both rushing on without consideration 4 the other person's feelings or need to sleep becuz after all the woman has cancer; likewise Ange looks like she's rushing off to get raped with no concern for her moms; really too selfish is how I see it...and Tina, poor Tina should just go have her baby...pps

Once again you have managed to pack a few pages with action and intrigue. Angie does indeed seem to have a deathwish. Wait until Bette gets that credit card bill!!!! By that time she will have been busted and that will add fuel to the fire!I also agree with Bette that Megan needs to fight for her health. I don't even have kids myself and I can't imagine not taking any avenue possible to live for my child!Thanks for this great story...PPS

I think Bette should consider raising Sarah, once they kill Angelica, they will need another child anyway. Seriously, I side with Bette on this one. I think Bette just wants to enjoy life with Tina, figuring Angelica will be off to college in a few years. A baby is a huge responsibility and takes up a lot of your time and energy.

I realize Bette is reacting to being a mother and knowing she would do anything for her child. But I can completely understand the road that Megan has chosen. Having witnessed a few times what happens to someone fighting cancer I too would probably choose what little time I have left to take care of what I can especially my child. The treatment can be so tiring, and wear you down, that the odds would need to be a bit better for me to give it a go. I know Bette and Tina will take Sarah and raise her as they're own, I worry that after what Angelica has planned if they'll have one of they're own. That girl is living dangerously, definitly following the wrong group of peers, and I just know this is so going to blow up in her face.

Angelica must have fallen and hit her head recently and you just forgot to write it into the story! LOL. Actually, this seems so typical of teenagers. Sometimes their decisions and/or thought processes make you just scratch your head and go huh? WTF! But I'm glad that Bette is going to kick up some fight in Megan. I think her own abandonment issues are at play here. Anyway, throughly loving this story, PPS.

Finally I caught up with this story....Angie is in for some major trouble I can smell it coming. But hell she had a good theacher in Bette as a bigtme "HOT" head. And I was right that the little child survived, did'nt figur the rest of Megan out, so you surprised me with that. I remember those days still very well that I told my mom that me and my friends would go to the dance school....and we never arrived there but got on the bus to go out instead LOL. Great chapter Gumby thx

sara does deserve that 20% however difficult it may be and just giving up seems selfish to me. i've seen people go through cancer and i've lost some to cancer old and young, and they've all fought for the time they had. but what exactly did tina expect bette to say. "oh, wow she's dying and wants us to raise her kid i've never met. oh sure i'd be honored" only in someones dream world would that happend with out a hot-headed overreaction as some seem to deem her response. and i don't think it's fair to blame angie's ridiculous behavivor on bette. yeah bette raised her, but she has 50% of tina's genes. and she's not always miss calm, cool and collected either.

I don't like Darren and it is not because he is a guy. He is trying to get something from Angie and I hope that he is not going to hurt her. I can understand Bette's thinking in forcing Megan to fight for her life. I have not decided how I feel about Sarah living with Bette and Tina. I like the idea but Angie would feel let down. Of course when Angie gets her gulteus in trouble maybe Tina will change her mind about another child.

Oh the ol sneaking out of the house days..I remember them very well. Got caught once and it wasn't pretty and I wasn't doing 1/2 of what Angelica is planning on that night and I still think I saw stars...lol..(it's funny now...wasn't too funny then)...so I feel for her if she gets caught. Bette needs to take a drive and calm down before talking to Megan and maybe she will have a listening audience. More please.
