Tina sat on the couch, she was waiting for Bette to get home. She wasn’t even sure where she was but knew that this was the right time to have this conversation no matter what mood Bette was in when she got home. While she was waiting Tina walked back into their bedroom. She then remembered that she should stop thinking about it as their bedroom. It wasn’t any longer, it was only Bette’s bedroom. Ever since they’d had that early morning conversation Tina had been sleeping in the guest room, just like she had done when she came back from Joyce Wishnia’s house. Just a few short months ago she never would have imagined that she would find herself back there.
She walked into Bette’s bedroom and looked down at Angelica. She was sleeping peacefully, not even a tiny bit aware of the momentous conversation that her mother’s were about to have. Tina had been putting of the talk that they needed to have regarding her and Henry’s status for a while. Dana’s death had hit them both hard but Bette seemed to be having particular difficulty getting herself back together. There had been many night where Tina had listened to Bette pacing the floor of the living room. Tina had desperately wanted to go out and comfort Bette, to tell her that everything was going to be OK, but she knew that was a false promise. Tina had no idea, at all, whether everything was going to be OK. In fact she was sure that for the foreseeable future things weren’t going to be OK at all.
She wanted to pick Angelica up, to take her in her arms. To gain strength from the one person in the world that she was sure of. Tina knew that her love for Angelica wasn’t going to change, and at a time where everything seemed to change by the hour that was one thing that she could always rely on to be the same. The one constant in her life. Tina resisted the temptation to pick her daughter up, not wanting to wake her she contented herself with stroking Angelica’s cheek. The soft skin feeling so tender underneath her fingertips. There was a perfect silence in the room, nothing to disturb the peace that Tina felt when she looked at her daughter.

Very well done!!!! But so sad I am glad Bette did not go off on Tina. Even though Tina has it comming to her. Thank you PPS
Fuck, you made me cry…
Why did I read this at work? lol And just to be a smartass, I still can’t believe you killed off Shane in another story. =p
Way too sad!Jesus!
Excellent writing and yes, it is so sad. You gotta be really ‘stoopid’ to walk away from one Ms. Bette Porter, (especially Tina, considering what she was walking to, when she walked away.) And upon reading this chapter Tina knew when she left she wouldn’t be happy with anyone but Bette – – she’s a fool. She does finally realize it, but she’s going to take several steps beyond foolish first – as the story has told us. Excellent writing CG75! More please…
ouch!! that was the saddest chapter yet.
if things won’t get better for B&T, this christmas will be very sad for me
Beautifully written but oh so sad. Can you fix it?
This is the equivalent of kicking a puppy…dag Citygirl…sigh.
Damn this is so sad!!!!!!!
You fill in the blanks for us. Thanks!
Tina talks a good game.
Very matter of fact, very sad and very painful but brilliantly written as always.
That chapter was sad. The entire time i was wanting Bette to scream at Tina for breaking up their family, or to just throw Tina out and tell her to come get Angelica once she gets settled into Henrys house. But that probably would have caused more problems between them, so its good how she did it. Great story, thanks. PPS
This is such a good story – but so sad! It’s so painful to read and I don’t know how Bette is holding it together at this point.
*sigh.* This was quite good, but it’s just so sad. At least Tina’s doing the right thing by Bette with regards to Angelica. But… I don’t see how she could still share a house with Bette and carry on with Henry for as long as she did. It just seems needlessly cruel. Ah well. I guess I don’t need to say it (I will anyway): please post soon.
wow, great writing… but a difficult chapter to read knowing what followed …
Really good, a sad time, but a joy to read.
Man, this makes me angry. Tina should leave if she wants to be with Henry, yet I don’t really think thats the case. Bette held back and I’m proud of her, cos I would have been going off. I like the story yet I don’t cos it makes me sad.
Waht a heartbreaking chapter, but brilliantly written
