Hindsight – Chapter 17
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
Angelica smiled at the words of ‘Mommy’s back’, I turn back to the window and see her smiling at me, I also see her glance at her watch, I wonder if she had been keeping an eye on the minutes as much as I had…
I go and pick up Angelica so we can meet her at the front door, with her placed on my hip I open the door to the outside world, I watch as she slams the trunk shut and looks toward us, she looked a little surprised to see us standing their, it felt so familiar to be watching her walk up the drive towards us, it felt familiar, but it also felt painful, pain different to the one I had been feeling over the past weeks.
That was a deep resonating pain that reverberated through every single fibre within me, it had stopped me living my life, it barely allowed me to function from day to day, but I had, barely functioned, but this pain I was feeling now, this was different and it was so difficult to be able to quantify that I had these two people here with me, but they weren’t with me… they were no longer mine, as much as I had begged and pleaded it had gotten me nowhere, so I had to rely on the promise of the woman walking toward me to stick to the words she had said to me this morning.
She walked toward us, smiling as she carried the multitude of bags she had retrieved from the trunk of the car; I thought Angelica was just staying overnight, there looked to be a lot of stuff for a one night stay for a toddler.
My mind flicked over the possibility of what would be in those bags, was it all just for Angelica…? Did I dare to wonder whether she was staying too…? Did she trust me to care for Angelica overnight that she had to stay too…? Or did she want to stay…? Do I want her to stay…? But that was stupid for my train of thought to even go down that track… derail… don’t even go there…

Hiya Jo, Great to have you back as your wonderful words have been missed. This tale is overflowing with primal desire and basic animal instincts as Bette and Tina continue to spend time together. Even the distraction of their child is not enough to get them to tear themselves away from each other. Bette’s reluctance to move forward is completely understandable as her heart and head are working at different tangents to one another. Tina’s motvies are less defined as she is still with Henry yet is standing byt Bette and ready to admit that she was wrong. I do hope that some of this heartache can be laid to rest and some joy can pours on to these gals and their child. I am a hopeful romantic so I hope that Tina can mend Bette’s shattered spirit. Please continue whenever you can because this is a story worth the wait. Many thanks for returning from Your Loyal Fan.
“…and a little child shall lead them.” At least through the front door and into the house. OK, so if Tina can see the effect her touch is having on Bette and she keeps doing it, I have to assume she means to induce said effect. In which case Bette should move on from kissing Tina’s hand to other parts of her person. OK, Jo, I’ll grant you the clingy black skirt, but I thought the short sleeved bat wing jacket they stuck her in while she walked the campus with Phyllis in Episode 2 was ridiculous. And I don’t even care much about clothes, but that was just wrong.
Wow, Jo… this is so tender and bitter sweet. Like Bette, I wonder what Tina is up to… is she staying the night? Is she leaving Angel with Bette? Is Henry no longer in Tina’s heart? I can’t wait for you to tell me… LOL…. Thank you… you never let us down!
You just killed me with that last update…the pain, so far reaching you can taste it…
Really lovely chapter….Bette is slowly regaining some trust again..ok very slowly!…but its happening..right?…good that your back with this..and im really sorry about your cat..x
I didn’t realize before reading this, who much I’ve missed your writing – it was amazing as usual and may Henry and Chuck rest in peace xx
A sweet sweet night for me, first 4.03, and then an update from you… Youve been in my thoughts today, the sadness about losing the cat who has been around you for so long… Putting feelings in writing, letting the emotions ooze through the screen, touch the readers hearts, Jo, you are just brilliant at that. You can make a word into a wand, and you put your magic on us… Please make my heart wince and jump again real soon, and post! ;) HUGS

This was a Great Update!!! Poor Bette I do hope Tina is not going to hurt her again. So Sorry about your cat that really hard to deal with. I just love your story. Thank you PPS
Oh, Jo, you’re going to make the wait for an outcome that much more excruciating! Pulling at my TiBette heartstrings like that! Please update soon. Sorry about your kitty, too–an ex of mine lost hers last summer after 15 years together, and it’s rough. Sounds like you had many wonderful years together!
You don’t need me to write anymore when you write stuff as good as that. You’re leading the way mate. Awesome.
Losing a pet sucks. =( *hugs* I hope Tina isn’t just dinkin’ around. If for some reason she doesn’t want to be that close to Bette at this moment she could back away and say so. PPS!
YOu are just fucking amazing…I sure hope you post very soon. Don’t keep us hanging too long. I am sorry to hear about your cat…always hard to lose a beloved pet.
damn woman u r a tease with that ending!! i was like yes at least one more page and then i scrolled down!!
Love the tension. Love the story. PPS
And you thought I was over my little Jobadgiction? No fucking way… ;) Just very busy lately and a huge lack of privacy caused by a sisterly invasion that should hopefully end soon… But I’m still with you, Jo, more than ever! Love this story and its recent developments. I haven’t seen any of Season 4 yet, so I’ll stick to the Levi’s! ;) Thanks mate, and sorry about your loss.
Okay, I live a long way away from you, but I promise, that if you get rid of the Levi’s, I will hunt you down. :)The skirt was HOT but the Levi’s, well the Levi’s….(wipes drool slowly running down chin) The levi’s are The OASIS that is BETTE.
This is such a wonderful story…thank you.
Jo, I’m going to agree with you on the black skirt Bette was wearing in Ep#3. It did fit**ahem**quite well! I love this story. So much pain and hope. Love and tenderness. Bette & Tina need to reconnect so bad. They both need each other in order to “breathe.” Post soon.
Beautiful, Jo. I can’t quite separate you from your character here. This story is very emotional and this chp is darker, very sad. I am addicted to this story, I have to confess. PPS. Take care, dear.
Sorry the job was so screwy. This story continues the carry my heart and love for these two fictional characters. They love that they once shared is still there. Can they save it and/or will they save it? I remember the last time you wrote about Bette turning and placing a kiss on Tina’s palm. I hope that that action will again stir those feelings of love and belonging.
I am totally with you on the dress from ep. 3, she was totally HOT!!!! Now back to the story, “you need to breath” and so do i after this chapter. Great update, i’ve been waiting on another chapter PPS.
Your writing as always is superb. I lost my cat of 18.5 years and it was tough but it does get better. And hell yeah on the little black skirt and that sexy walk to her car. But that little black knit dress worn to T & H’s mixer was fierce. That woman has a body that is indescribable. She looked 15 years younger than her true age talking to Nadia when Nadia sat on Bette’s desk. Damn. She looked amazing.
i can see the light :)
So sorry about your cat…love the story…
Good chapter and let them talk more. Yeah Bette is so hot and sexy, love her!
Wow Jo! That was awesome! Thanks. So sorry to hear about your cat. :(
wonderful wonderful! they love each other so mucht that hurt, i hope that this time that they will spend together will encourage them to try to fix their issues. I am sorry to read that your cat died. take care
