“After Midnight”
Tina stirred as Bette turned on the light.
Bette looked behind her, sharing an expression of confusion with Jodi.
“Tina?”
Rubbing her eyes as she sat up, gathering the afghan around her shoulders, Tina looked between the two women. “Hi Bette, Jodi.”
“What are you doing here? Where’s Angus?”
“He called me. I let him go home.”
“Tina, it’s not appropriate, this wasn’t your night.”
“Bette…” Tina held up her hands, palms out, defensively, trying to get Bette to calm for a moment.
“We’ve worked out a schedule. You can’t just go behind my back.”
“Bette, Angelica was running a fever.”
The words stopped Bette mid-stream. “Fever?”
“Angus tried to call you, and couldn’t reach you.”
As Tina spoke Bette dug around in her bag. “Shit, my phone was off.” As Tina continued, Bette punched at some buttons on the offending device, before dropping it back into her bag.
“He called me, and I took over for him.”
Jodi tapped at Bette’s shoulder. “What?”
“Angelica’s sick,” Bette responded in both words and sign.
“Oh.” Jodi gave a Tina a quick wave, followed by a squeeze on Bette’s shoulder, and then walked past the two women, towards the master bedroom.
Tina started to wave in response, pulling the motion as she realized she was waving to Jodi’s back.
“Did you call the doctor?”
Bette’s words came out as sharp. Tina could understand the frustration. “She was fine when I finally got her back to sleep. Fever was gone. I checked on her about a half hour ago. I hadn’t planned on dozing off.”
Nodding in understanding, Bette pointed over towards her daughter’s room. “I’m just going to go…”
“Of course.”
Tina glanced around the couch, straightening the work that she’d brought over that evening. She really hadn’t planned on falling asleep, or on coming over at all. Not until she’d received Angus’ call.
“How is she?” Jodi had returned back to the living room. She was now changed into a tank-top and yoga pants. “The baby?”
“She’s fine.” As she replied, Tina remembered to look at Jodi.

the end? :P this was way too great to end now, really!!
Nice switcheroo, changing the meaning of the 3-way fantasy from Bette’s to Jodi’s and from Bette’s desire to Bette’s fear.
Ouch… brilliantly written, completely compelling and emotional evoking… but a little bit painful.
That was just completely wonderful. Poor Bette!!!! Thanks
What a brilliant chapter! I want another one!! Please :)
Pacify my heart… Doubting your worth is not love. Basic characters are innate. Change is short-lived and revolving. Love is not lost..just being obscured. Thank you!
This is so true. They’ve both stepped into new relationships, problem being they’re still in love with each other. Well its not a problem, or it wouldn’t be if they would realize it and get back together. IC gives us small glimpses of hope but I truly believe she’s just messing with us.
I hope you mean the end of the chapter and not the end of this, dare I call it series?
this is soooooooooo TRUE! great work.
Is it any wonder you’re my favourite author? You make even their potential reunion believable, regardless of what has transpired between them.
Your JoBeTi story was nice, really, really nice. ;-)
just loved how you did the 3 way. your fantastic in your observations and words. thanks.
Wow! What can i say… awesome and sad. What if … *sigh*
Perfect.
very very sad…i have the same questions though…i hope jodi WILL get bored and tina will be there for bette to show her what true love is
That was great!
