Tina nodded. Give me the phone.
Caroline handed it over.
Hesitating, for a moment, Tina weighed the cell phone in her hand, looking at it like it might attack her. And, considering her history with the woman on the other end, it might. Hello?
Silence. Not a sound. Tina waited a moment. Mom, are you there? She looked up at Caroline. I think she hung up. Tina was about to take the phone away from her ear when she heard it.
Tina? Her mothers voice was shaking.
Tinas lip began to quiver as she tried to dam the flow of tears that threatened. Mom?
Hi, baby, her mother said, trying to begin a normal conversation but failing miserably. Rose hadnt called Tina baby since Caroline was born. It was thereafter reserved for the baby of the family.
Tina laughed a little, unable to stop the tears from falling. Hi, mom. Meanwhile, Bette pulled her chair closer to Tinas, putting her hand supportively between her shoulder blades.
Tinas mother sighed loudly, mostly to let Tina know that she was still there. Ive been waiting eight years for this. Ive thought over and over again about what I would say and now that I can hear your voice Her mother sniffled and Tina couldnt help smiling.
Seeing Tina smile, Caroline dared to hope that this might be ok. Tina, on the other hand, remembered what this woman had done, what she had allowed to happen. Tina was not about to compromise herself. She hadnt done it for Dan. She wouldnt do it for her mother.
How are you, mom? Tina asked.
Oh, you know, Tina, not much changes, her mother said, grateful for a subject that would allow her to compose herself. Your father retired so hes here constantly, driving me crazy. Rose Kennard paused. She had composed herself enough to say what she really needed to say. I miss you so much, Tina. Tina covered her eyes and leaned her elbow on the table as she cried. Im so sorry, baby. Tina cried harder, as Bette tried to keep the hair from falling into her face. Tina? she asked, uncertain that her daughter could hear her.

i love this.. another great chapter… i’m so glad rose finally said …the hell with him i want my daughter back… please continue… love carrie too
Still loving this story, thanks for the phone call with Tina’s mom.
:D Oh my…that was just great! How Tina and Rose’s conversation went was so…truthful and touching. And how Rose wanted to apologize and speak to Bette. Rose is going to make sure that she won’t lose Tina again…Jackson is going to see and feel the strength of a Mother’s love for her child. I don’t think Rose is going to let him dominant her and tell her what is going to be — she’s going to stand up to him for Tina. Can’t wait…please continue posting.
This is so very good. You have done the best job of this type of story line by far.
First comes the partner, then the baby. I’m surprised Angelica hasn’t made her presence known yet, crying or cooing loud enough to be heard over the phone.
That’s gonna be one intense conversation when Rose calls their home.
I’m loving this story!
BTW – not only is North Carolina-born Tina with a woman, she’s with a biracial (read that as Black) woman. And she has a biracial baby.
Talk about giving it to them with both barrels! Oh boy!
Icame to your story late, but I have caught up on all of the chapters, LOOOOVE IT. My only disappointment is that Carrie and Danny did not take any pictures of Tina, Bette and Anglica. I would think that Carrie would want some pictures of Angie and Bette and Tina to carry with her and Bette and Tina would want some pictures of Anglica and her borther and sister. Give them something for the scrapbook. I love ind that is developing between Carrie and Bette, and that Carie and Dan were both thken by her beauty. Please post again soon. Oh the more Kennards and Porter’s involved the worse Helena’s chances look.
Well, I also discovered your story lately – but as I immediately felt fully “catched” by it today, I very quickly made up all the past chapters with a true and growning joy !
Thank you for such an excellent story, about an especially moving subject so much people can relate with, and for very engaging new characters like Caroline. I also agree with an other comment : the wonderful chemistry between her and her amazing “sister-in-law” is something quite delightful indeed !
And from now, I’ll faithfully wait for your updates. Thanks a lot again !
That was really great writing. Loved it as usual.
I can’t wait for the reunion.
This was a very humbling and sweet chapter. I can imagine how Tina is feeling right about now. Keep up the good work.
Really great chapter – if only all estranged parents could do this:( I agree with Techgal, cant wait for the baby & bi-racial thing – more drama;-)
Oh damn this is awesome and surprise for all of them. I can’t wait to see what’s next, please post soon, thansk! Great chapter!
