Wish You Were Here: Chapter One
“Wish You Were Here”: Chapter One
============================================================
“Well that’s the last of it.” Bette said as she closed the small black suite case; “At least I think that’s it.”
Tina walked over to Bette and put her arms around her waist. “I really wish you didn’t have to go.”
“I know T; but I really need to win this artist over. It would be such a wonderful thing for the museum to get his work for the next big show.”
“I know…but I still wish you didn’t have to go.”
“I’ll only be gone for two days.” Bette placed her hand on her wife’s very pregnant stomach. “Then I’ll be back and ready to give you and the baby my undivided attention.”
Bette was the owner of ‘The Bette Porter Gallery’ in L.A. Originally the gallery was located in NYC; until she moved to the west coast seven years ago. Around that same time she met Tina Kennard; a high school English teacher. They met through their good friend Alice and after becoming so close; it was then Bette Porter was finally ready to start a serious relationship with someone.
Eight months ago they decided that they were ready to start a family together; and were expecting a baby girl in the next few weeks. Tina decided that she was ready to prepare herself for motherhood; so she quit her job at the school leaving Bette to be the sole provider for them.
Work kept Bette very busy; but she promised Tina that after this last she would be home more for her and the baby. Tina knew that this would be a huge adjustment for Bette; so she agreed to this last trip even though it was so close to the baby’s due date. Getting this artist to show his work in Bette’s gallery would be such a big thing; and she knew she would feel better taking time off knowing she did so.
“It’s not fair; you get to go to Hawaii while I’m stuck here.” Tina joked.
“Trust me it wont be very much fun; this artist rarely ever agrees to showing his work in other galleries…so I will be doing a lot of persuading to try and win him over.”

aoh heck, please let her live, we don’t need to lose her now. My goodness gracious!!!! Tina can’t take this, she might lose the baby. Glad Kit is with her at the moment.
Goodness, where are my manners? So sorry you’ve lost someone you cared for. My condolences to you and your family. Remember the happy times.
This sounds pretty ominous. I hope Bette makes it through. It must have been a slip, because I got confused when Tina said to call her when she landed in New York. If they live in LA and Bette is going to Hawaii, New York is in the opposite direction. I am glad your grandfather was with people who loved him at the end. It is all we can really hope for. Thanks.
I am truly sorry about your loss. It’s always difficult when a loved one passes away even if they are older.Please, not too much grief for TiBette.

Im sorry for your loss and take care Coffee. Please don’t let Bette die, don’t think Tina can handle it. Anyway see you later!
Sending you love and Prayers at this time. Hope the writing makes you feel better for a moment. Thanks for writing – don’t separate them please.
WHOA Coffee, WHAT?! (About Bud: It’s a relief their suffering ends, but heartbreaking that they’re gone. I’m really sorry for your loss. What a blessing and a comfort to be surrounded by love.)
I am sorry that you grandfather has moved on from this earth. Right now it is very hard to get past all the pain but sometime later you will remember him in a different (happy) time in your life. It will also come to mean a lot more to know that you were there for him and your grandmother when the end came. You are a special granddaughter for being who you are. Please keep Bette safe. This kind of reminds me of Castaways from a few years ago.
mean…i just read the whole thing backwards …mean…
So sorry to hear about Bud. There really is no way to prepare yourself for losing a family member, no matter how much time you have. *hugs* Now, as for this story, PPS!
oh my god…we can’t lose Bette now!
I’m so nervous. I’m so nervous. You weren’t watching Castaway were you? Cuz I don’t want to ruin it if you haven’t, BUT the main couple does not end up with each other :) You did an excellent job building the suspense, I was almost afraid to scroll down the page. Thanks for writing, great update.
So very sorry about your Grandfather. My prayers and condolences goes out to you and you family. Please dont let Bette get hurt. Tina needs her. thanks
