A tale of two Moms Chapter 3
Gladys woke early as was her custom. Pausing before the mirror on her way to the bathroom she decided that she still looked good for a woman in her late fifties. She took some measure of satisfaction that George never seemed to find her undesirable; the trouble had been that it didn’t stop him from finding other women desirable as well.
After showering and dressing in a white cotton pantsuit she decided to have breakfast at the poolside café. She suspected that she would have a few hours of solitude before the happy couple and the rest of the wedding party who had taken advantage of the block of rooms Christina and Bette had reserved emerged.
As she suspected there were few up and about at eight o’clock on a Sunday morning. Only one other poolside table was occupied by a solitary older female who was studying the Sunday paper. Random thoughts of the wedding flooded her mind. Christina had looked radiant. She had been apprehensive when Christina had told her that she and Bette planned to marry. One of the few times that her daughter had sought her comfort was after she learned that Bette had betrayed her and slept with another woman.
That Christina was able to forgive the infidelity was huge. She felt the sting of Christina’s disapproval numerous times when she became aware enough to realize that her father was a philanderer. At first she would hit Gladys with an angry tirade about accepting such behavior. Over time there would be the silent looks of disapproval and at some moment’s contempt. Gladys had been sure based on Christina’s passionate feelings about fidelity that her relationship with Bette was over.
Christina understood now the unreasonable nature of love that Gladys had once told her about. She knew it for herself. Still Gladys did not want Christina to suffer the same fate that she did. Even though she loved George with all her heart it hurt to share him and it was not a life she would have chosen for herself and certainly not for her daughter. She resolved to have another talk with Bette. She really missed George at this moment. Not only would he have loved to see the day his little girl married he would have read Bette a riot act that would make her tremble should she even think of stepping out on Christina again. She decided she would just have to do her best to fill those shoes.

Angel is sooooooo adorable :) pls post soooooon umm am i first ???
wooohoooooo indeed i am first ! that’s so Cooool :D first time first comment ! Sweeeeeeet ;)
Girl, you’re gonna give me a heart attack! Stopping smack dab in the middle like that! grr, I’m ready to burst lol. I love the atmosphere and of course, the drama. Remember, timing is important. So far, you’ve got it good. Now, relinquish thy deviling ways and don’t leave me choking on tension. LMAO. Should I even think about the electric shivers happening between the brides’ moms? Oh gosh…post more. Love Shane in this, and I was just ready for Alice’s sarcastic/comedic remark.~~~Now for the sake of being nerdy, when you talk about ‘pairs’ you mean ‘set’: 1 pair of eyes = 2 eyes. So if you say 6 pairs, it meant 12 eyes. It’s weird, yeah. But just be careful as that can affect detail comprehension at crucial points. Anyway, I’m loving this lil’ family re-onion. Yes, onion! :blink blink: lmao…did I say more?…more!
Wha? Why stop there? I was just getting comfortable. I am so loving this story…keep it coming.
I am torn about Maxine. I know that she is proud of Bette and happy that Bette has found love. What tears me up is that she stayed away for so long. She has been watching Bette from afar for years and you can see the love that she has for her daughter. I hope that she will not hurt Bette anymore than she has. Maybe this can be a new start to their relationship just as Bette and Tina were able to reconnect and move forward with their relationship.
ah yes i also remembered all that grandms’a remembered… but any way… love this story… so 30 years… i hope they can get past that … and i agree with the others… with gladys there and angelica… not to worry… please continue
Great! (of course, after reading TMAJO’s comment, I had to go and count eyes! I counted 17 pairs, 34 individual eye balls. But then, I can’t count.) Keep going! PPS!
OMG!!!! WOW!!!!! I can not beleave you stop right there. I need more. This is just Great. Thank you PPS
Wow!! I know what it’s like to have your mother reappear in your life after a long absense. Bette will have so many emotions. Anger, shock, disgust, hope. Tina will have to be strong here and help her Queen shelter the storm inside.
Bring it on…..
figure out what to do….how bout leave them alone and mind your own business. LET THEM WORK IT OUT!!! NEXT PLEASE!!!!
NICE and very interesting. I hope that Bette and Maxine have a chance to talk and make a mends, I am sure that Angelica will help ALOT in this (ahhh the innocence of youth). Everyone else may have issues, but all Angelica wants is her Gra-ma and Nana LOL :o)
Damn…this is getting good! I hope that Bette doesn’t just run away. PPS
Wow, so intense! This is great. Shane usually keeps her comments and thoughts to herself, but it’s good when she does speak. Good thing they’re family, ‘cos only family can talk to each other that way. Please continue soon!
Not to worry Gladys will handle it.
“Six pairs of eyes focused on her as if she had six heads. ” Lets see… 6 times 2 times 6… that would be quite a sight. ;-) Nice story, K!
DAMN DRAMA COMING!
Whoa, 30 years is a long time. Hopefully Tina will be able to help Bette get through what ever this may be.
