Tina – Plan B, pt. 12
I once told my obstetrician that I was ready to have a baby on my own. She thought that was sad, but I told her I was ready for it.
It’s so easy to tell others that you’re ready for something that you’re clueless about.
It’s also a lot easier to read a newspaper when your daughter, who is taller than you I hate to admit, is almost sitting in your lap.
Since we’ve been back from New York, I’m not quite sure what’s up with Jessica. She’s been moody and clingy in a way I really haven’t seen from here before.
I almost hated punishing her for those stunts of taking off from her class trip. Then I remembered I’d still be getting the credit card bill for my flight, and the changes to our travel plans. While it probably was unnecessary, I did give her a week of having no friends over and no going out after school without asking.
She seems so deflated. I’m not sure exactly what it is, although I think it has something to do with Bette, or with Bette and me. I’ve tried to ask her, but I know that she’s only giving me the ‘filtered for my protection’ view of Jess’s world.
If this keeps up, I’m going to have to send in Alice. And then they’ll probably both be mad at me. If it were an option I’d ask Shane to take her to Magic Mountain or somewhere for a day, maybe just over to Venice. Someplace where the two of them can relax and do some talking. Unfortunately, Shane’s on location this week and I think for the next couple.
So, that leaves me and the clingy kid. Not that I mind her being so close, but I know it’s not how she naturally is.
Maybe I should punish her by making her go outside for a while, go hang out with her friends, something.
The trip was, in ways she’ll never understand, difficult for me, also. Talk about my worst fears realized – getting a call that my daughter was missing. The same daughter that I’m now kindly nudging so that she’ll give me a little space to where I can turn the page of my paper.
“Jess?”
“Yeah mom?”
“Can I get you anything?” Let’s see if there’s possibly another way to distract her.
“I’m fine.”
Great. How long is this going to last?
The loud ding meant I was saved by the doorbell. At this point, I hope it’s one of her friends. Rules are meant to be broken after all.
“I’ll get it,” she announced, as she sprinted off towards the door.
The door opened, and I didn’t hear a word. “Jess? Who is it?”
In short sequence I heard a door slam, and then Jess ran by, heading towards her room.
As I got up to follow her, the doorbell rang again. Curious.
I figured first things first and headed over to the door. Opening the door, I can see why Jess was so shocked. Standing there, looking very nervous but also confused, was Bette Porter.

Yea..you’re gonna go ahead with the story. Thank you SO SO SO much. Please, please continue.

I really enjoy your story and I am waiting to see where it will go next. Very interesting.
A big kiss for you. Yes, wants more more more…..:)
For the love of everything holy we want! More please, woo!
I’m glad you brought Bette to LA, and that you are going to continue. Thanks!
Great chapter. I’m glad you’ve changed the POV I hadn’t thought about it but you right it would have just been too limiting.
I think us commenters can speak for all the readers that don’t comment actively. ON on on on on on on on soon soon soon soon soon soon. Sorry the keys got stuck!
So glad to see that you are going to continue this. I really liked Interesting Times and telling it from Jess’s point of view was perfect, but I think we are ready for a little “grown up” point of view. Thanks for staying with this.
Alright you lil’ rascal. Yer killin’ me. Just killin’ me. My poor little mouse is so tired hitting refresh to see when you post again. looking very nervous but also confused, was Bette Porter.
I LOVE IT…
Okay, this is much better than just ending the last story. I was sad thinking Bette didn’t get the chance to redeem herself and Jess to thinking she was to blame for the break up of B&T. Thanks again for sharing your creativity!
Whew! I was afraid to think the worse considering how you left your last story. I didn’t want any kind of hatin’ going on forever, even though it is very realistic for the kid to be projecting her anger on an easy target like Bette. Thank you for continuing this story now through adult eyes. I hope Jess will learn to come around and love Bette and Tina and Bette as much as we do.
Oh my god! THIS is my CPR.
Pseud, you are such a tease. You have cliffhangers all over the place and an abrupt ending, and then… and then….
How much more can my heart take?
Love your fic to pieces, I cannot say that enough. PLEASE POST SOON!
oh, yes please continue. You have me very interested.
Yes-More please!
please please please continue at all costs!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!
yes! the making up begins. i’m glad you changed the pov because i was wondering what tina and bette were thinking, too. please do continue.
We Want! please i love this story.
Tina said that Bette was her wife and didnt need to wait, but to come get her. Bring it on.Yes please continue.
Oh yes, please, please, please……I want to know much more about this trio
Thank you so much for continuing your story. Okay, your Tina is pissing me off. Actually, she started pissing me off in interesting times. Why the hell is Tina still pissed at Bette after 15 years apart? I really really hope Bette didn’t cheat again. I like that you changed the POV. It would be cool to also get Bette’s POV. Can’t wait for another chapter. Thanks!
Bette is Bette dosent she?..lol..great woman fight for your wife and daughter
Great way to continue the story. I’m looking forward to the next one.
YEAH GO ON! I understand why you switched it around a bit. I love this story, please post again soon!
Do you even have to ask, now please continue. Good Job.
Yes, Yes,Yes please continue…I love the Aunties and the whole family back in LA keeping Bette up to date….Its a great premise but don’t leave us dangling for too long.
keep it coming, keep it coming! This story just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER! GREAT JOB
Not that you need another vote of approval… but let me sum up my opinion by saying… Love It!
Hey! Whoa I hope is Bette Please tell me that is Bette OMG! it’s getting ME intense to read this Amazing Story Please we need the Loven with B&T come on pseud Please Please Thank you.
Now, you are teasing your devoted fans. go ahead, tease some more.
great as always, I love this story, let tina do some thinking out loud for a while and then Bette also
**Heavy sigh of relief** YES!! Like you even need to ask if we want you to continue. I like the change in narration that you have taken. Thank you for continuing with this story.
Yes, please continue.
I agree with you, Jess was a compelling and amusing figure but really, most teenagers are self-absorbed (and developmentally appropriately so) that they wouldn’t pay much attention to the goings on of the adults in their lives.
Continuing the story through the eyes of Tina and Bette will be much more appropriate. Although I will miss Jess’ voice and hope you will let her get a word or two in from time to time.
So, yeah, go ahead! I’m lovin’ it!
Oh good one! Please keep them coming!
smore please?
Yes girl bring it on
Yes this is awesome and very interesting, love it. Post soon, thanks!
Yippee! I’m so glad you didn’t abandon the story all together! You are the writer and you know your story best…good point on the changing of POV! Hope you’ll have an update to share with us soon!
yes keep it coming
Seamless switch – love the new twist, leaves me shaken and stirred, lol. Thank you – I do love this story, and the generous way you write it.
I’m not even sure if my “vote” will be needed…..but INTEREST is high; very high.
Great story, I like how you continue from the other story but with more Tina’s and Bette’s (?) point of view.
Great! great! great!
