The Journey 59
Bette: It still amazes me here how the scenery changes with the weather. I’m sitting in my favourite spot on the beach with a rug wrapped around me, letting the sand that blows into the creases of the rug quietly settle there. I cup my hot chocolate in my hands and marvel at how a couple of months ago I would sit out here in the heat and watch the perfectly calm sea.
It is early autumn and although many of the days are still warm the mornings, especially when it is still dark and the nights are brisk, and when I sit still like this I get cold easily. The breeze blows through my hair and makes little white caps on the small waves that lightly crash in front of me. In the last month or so I have learnt to cherish these mornings and the peace and quiet. I often rise while Tina is sleeping and come out here. Things between Tina and myself are much improved and she no longer panics when she rolls over to find me not there. I look across the bay and the dry straw like grass that was present a couple of months ago has disappeared and is replaced with lush green grass. I see the branches and the leaves swaying in the wind. I take a deep breath and the salt infuses my nostrils.
I hear a light tap on the window and it is Tina, she has woken and knew exactly where she would find me. She has a sheet wrapped around her and looks as beautiful as she always has. I give her a little wave and a smile and start to get up, brush the sand off and make my way inside. She meets me at the door holding it open and greets me with a smile and a kiss.
Tina: “hey you”
Bette: “hey yourself” I say playfully. “the kids still asleep?”
Tina: “can’t you tell by the quiet?” and I flash that smile at Bette. “why don’t you come back to bed?” I say teasingly and Bette has never needed much encouragement in that area.
Bette: I pretend to think about it, putting my hand on my chin and feigning deep thought about what I should do. Tina grabs my hand and pulls me into the bedroom, half holding up the sheet with her other hand. I protest “at least let me have a shower, I am covered in salt and sand.”

I have been waiting for your return. Great chapter. Love this story.
the wait wasn’t too long, enfin … I am sooo happy to have you back, the chapter is great (and too short) as always. I’m glad Bette keeps an eye on her little girl when she plays around the dam :-) Thank you unbeknown for keeping your story alive, you have a big fan here ;-)
Yeah, they must live happily together for their and their children’s sake.
Your Back!!!!! Great Chapter. Thank you
You are back please make Our girls stay together
Breaks my heart that the kids are the ones stuck in the middle of all the B & T drama. It’s sad. I’m glad Laurel had enough nerve to tell her mommy so that B & T can realize that in the process of hurting each other, lots of people suffer. ( including us, the L Word fans…LOL..no wait that’s IC that’s making us suffer…never mind, I got a little off track) ANYWAYS, I hope that B & T will talk to them and reassure them that their mommies love each other and it will be okay. Post soon.
Love love love this story please don’t stay away so long…I am looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks a bunch
glad to see you made it back to us. Thanks for the update
Thanks for coming back. Love your story.
Glad that you are still bringing this story to us. Laurel is so afraid of loosing her mom’s and fears who she would live with. Maybe they should stay were they are and not go back to LA. They do seem much happier there.
Good chapter and hope they will be ok!
You’re back, you’re back, you’re back! I hope you aren’t teasing us and you will be continuing regularly with this wonderful story. Well, I think they definitly need to talk before they return to LA and ‘real’ life. But, before they do, can we please have Bette finish what Tina started in the morning? Pretty please with sugar on top? Thanks unbeknown, so glad you posted.
the wait was worthy! i like that they are better now, but i tnink that LAurel bring some sense in Bette (i hope so)
Thanks for bringing this story back.
welcome back…i hope B&T can work on their issues and be happy at home as well…post soon
