Chapter 21
***Tina***
After Angelica left the room I decided to call Bette to give her the heads up about our talk and my promise to Angelica.
“Hello?” she picked up on the first ring.
“Hi baby, you on your way home yet?”
“No I’m still at the office, but I should leave here within the hour. What’s up?”
“Well nothing really. I just wanted to hear your voice.”
“Baby what happened? You still fighting with Annie about her friend?”
“No, actually that went well. I am actually thinking about having her invite Gina here so we can meet her.”
“Sounds good. So what’s wrong then?”
“Um, I kindda made a promise to Annie and now I am not sure how we’re going to handle it.”
“We? What have you gotten me into yet again?”
“I told her we would tell her about our life before she was born.”
“Well that’s not too hard. We could leave out the bad stuff.”
“Actually that’s what she wants to know about.”
“The bad stuff? Why?”
“I mentioned the affair.” I cringed for the blast to come.
“You did what? Why would you bring that up?”
Surprisingly she wasn’t yelling. “It just came up in conversation. I’m sorry.”
“God. How am I going to explain what I did when I don’t even know why I did it?”
***Bette***
After I talked with Tina, my first instinct was to delay my arrival home. Maybe Angelica would get tired and be in bed by the time I got home. Then logic took over and I decided to get it over with. I packed up and left earlier than I had planned. I used the drive home to formulate how I will explain my infidelities. “We had a lot going on in our lives at the time and I got side tracked. No, that wasn’t it. Um, your mother and I drifted apart and I guess I lost my way. No I can’t say that. Let me see, I was stressed with work and everything and I found a means of release. Damn Tina of all the promises to make.” I pulled in the driveway and stayed in the car for a few minutes to collect my thoughts. My son apparently had some thing really exciting to tell me because he came running out to the car before I turned it off. He had a hand in preparing dinner for us so he wanted me to come in to taste his mashed potato volcano.

That was so good. Its hard to talk to teenagers but usually if your just straight with them there pretty cool. They just want the truth like most of us. Nice ending.

Wonderful chapter. Can’t wait for more.
BnTfan,
Bloody marvellous!
Finding out that your parents are humans with frailties and failing is a very tough pill to swallow however it is not healthy to idolized them either.
The openness and honesty displayed in this story is what helps get you through. The truth will set you free.
Finding out about Bette’s affair, Tina’s relationship with Helena and the miscarriage shows Angelica that you can fail but by following your true desires with a determination to succeed you can move on and build something stronger.
Thank you for keeping it real.
Please post soon as I am completely addicted to this fabulous fan fic.
Your Loyal fan
Very good chapter. I agree with techgal, I don’t think that it is up to Angelica to forgive Bette or not. What happened between Bette and Tina before she was born is thier business and Angelica should not have a say in it. She does not have a right to question thier love for each other.
well not as bad as it could of have been.
Good job and I would have expected them to both have a ultrasound pic.
That is so cute and sad all at the same time! I can understand why Angie is upset, I would be to but I hope she can get over it coz Bette’s hurting enough as it is!
I’m of the opinion that intimate parts of the parents’ marriage belong only to the parents. They don’t owe their children an explanation for the intimate details, failings or betrayals, of their relationship. Are they good parents to the child? Are they providing a good, stable home? Yes? Then what occured in the past is none of the child’s business.
However, this is your story. Please continue!
