If it makes you happy – Chapter 12
Bette’s heart raced as she woke to the sound of her daughter’s distant cry. She squinted to read the time and wondered what could have her angel so upset at 3:12 in the morning. Bette sighed heavily and decided that Tina would be looking after their daughter so there was no reason to fuss. She rolled over in search of more sleep.
When Angie’s crying hadn’t subsided ten minutes later Bette pulled herself from her warm and comfortable bed. Throwing on a dressing gown she stepped out of her room. Walking down the hallway she found that the guest room door was open and the light on but it was empty. Continuing along the hall she found Tina pacing in the lounge room with Angelica held tightly against her body.
“T?” Bette called over Angelica’s healthy lungs.
Tina swiveled around and looked apologetically at her ex-wife. “I tried not to wake you but she’s been like this for over an hour.”
“Is she hurt?”
“Sick” Tina replied in a raised voice, “She’s running a temperature.”
“Do we need to get her to a doctor?”
Tina shook her head. “I’ve given her something for it, she should settle soon.”
“And if she doesn’t?”
“She’ll settle” Tina said confidently “It’ll probably take another 15 or 20 minutes.”
“She’s really unhappy, Tina” Bette persisted.
“No different to the ear infection she had three months ago.” Tina replied as she silently hoped that Bette wasn’t going to make a big deal out of this.
“We’ll have to get her to the doctor in the morning.” Bette insisted.
Tina nodded in agreement. “Any chance you can? I’m meeting with the executive team of that new production company all day. Angus is set to look after her from twelve but I think she should see someone before then.”
“Yeah, I’ll take care of it.” Bette replied, “Why don’t you go back to bed? Angie can come and sleep in my room.”
Bette saw the hesitation in Tina’s eyes.
“She’ll be fine. Like you said she’ll settle. You need to get some rest.”
“Ok” Tina acquiesced as she lifted Angelica into Bette’s waiting arms.

Great story. Instead of going back and changing the past, maybe they could learn from it and make a beautiful new beginning ? Hope your able to post soon.
Just lovely. I’ve missed this story, and I’m glad for this update. Thanks for the update, I certainly hope there’s more soon.
Welcome back. PLEASE don’t leave us hanging on this one too long. It’s just too good!
Well, don’t wait for the next heart beat but change it now. They really do belong to one another. Glad Bette could calm Angelica.
I’m happy you’ve returned to this story. Thank you for writing.

Great! But I need more. Thanks for posting, looking forward to the next chapter
Excellent story and writing. Thanks for posting. I always look forward to your updates.
Yeah, you’re back. Thanks for the great update. Keep up the good work. I love your story.
I am enjoying this B & T story. It’s very realistic. The dialogue is quite on point.
Wonderful update and truly spot-on dialogue. Thank you so very much for sharing this story!
Thanks for taking the time to write this story when you can…the pace is perfect, and in fact the time between posts makes their interaction seem that much more realistic.
it’s still not too late to change…glad to see you back…i hope our girls will work it out but then i always do and it doesn’t happen always…at least for now they are friends
Good to see you posting…I was wondering! Nice update! Post soon!
All I can really say is WEEEEEEEEEEEEE! =)
Fabulous chapter!! Thanks!
so excited to see you post. I hope you get to write more very soon. Thanks!
Great chapter. The dialogue was spot on. “I’m aiming for contentment rather than fireworks” Its great how you can express so much in one line.
How rude am I? I should, of course, said “welcome back” and “thanks for posting again”. I do hope you’ll be able to post again soon – I love this possibility of a rapprochement.
You can’t stop there! Please, pretty please!
It’s always great to see a post from you, try not to stay away so long next time. Thanks fo finding the time.
Great chapter. Do you think the alcohol has hit T? Maybe she can find one more studpid question before she finishes this glass of wine. And her statement “I never thought I’d see the day when you’d settle,” Tina said sadly.” It sounds like T’s telling Bette that if she would fight for her that she wouldn’t have to ‘settle.’
Good chapter and let them talk and work thing out!!!!!!!!!
