The next morning Tina true to her word had prepared a Southern home-style breakfast. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, blueberry pancakes, grits and toast. A pot of coffee and a pot of tea hot and aromatic awaited Bette when she wandered into kitchen. Angelica was already seated in the breakfast nook, which easily accommodated eight adults.
Bette raised an eyebrow at Tina when she noticed that the table was set for six.
“Expecting company?” Bette asked wary.
“Reinforcements.” Tina corrected. “Kit, Alice and Shane will be here in a few minutes.”
Bette threw her a look that said you didn’t.
Tina answered the unspoken question. “I haven’t yet but I think it’s a good idea for us all to talk.”
Bette nodded silently thanking Tina for giving her time to wrap her head around the idea of telling people that she as in trouble.
“I notice that you did not mention Helena or Jenny.” Bette remarked casually.
“Reinforcements, Bette, I know how far I can push you.” Tina chuckled.
The doorbell rang and Angelica raced off to answer it. Kit, Alice and Shane had rode over together after getting Tina’s call and asking them to come over to Bette’s house for breakfast. Tina did not elaborate other than to say ‘Bette needs you’.
“Wow, nice spread Tina.” Kit remarked giving her a quick kiss and hug. “Baby Sis” she held Bette close for a minute, shocked at how thin she was. She held her tongue. She suspected this was part of why Tina called them all over.
Shane also noticed how thin and drained Bette looked. She could not remember a time when Bette looked so broken. The closest she could remember was when Tina had left her after the affair. There was a deeper sadness then at that time and anger. Sadness without anger Shane knew was worse. “Hey Bette.” She hugged her quickly then greeted Tina as well.
Alice was too engaged in her conversation with Angelica about Naruto, a Japanese animae to really examine Bette too closely. She quickly greeted both women while arguing that merits of ninja with Angelica. Shane joined in the argument siding with Angelica causing Alice to seek support from Bette on the merits of artistry.

Lots of love right there in that kitchen right now amongst that group of friends…it’s like it’s always been there and always will be…no matter what they did on the show…you capture it so well.
Thanks for acknowledging & asking…imo, u r doing well and so is Tina altho the big breakfast would be too much for me the idea of company and Bette’s fav fruits was wonderful…what should Tina do? Great idea to share Bette with the friends, family & Angie, don’t wanna pressure Bette into getting over her grief too quickly or trying to hide it for her f/f/d’s sake…let her talk about the good times & let her cry/talk about her loss…let her be alone but not too much or too long,…maybe she does need to get away from the house she & Rosanna shared, too many memories there…Perhaps T could take time off work and take Bette and Angie for a short break away somewhere new to make new memories…let her slowly come back to life and seeing the beauty of life which she probably doesn’t at the moment…be there for her…don’t jump into sex because Rosanna will be there for a long time…show Bette how mature, loving & kind Tina really is and aim in the long term for restoring their family i.e. Tina, Bette, Angie & the new baby which should be a boy to make up for the one they lost…Lmao at my last suggestion-u know I’m a diehard TiBetter right? and finally love her Tina, love her like u never have b4!!!!! cuz if Bette dies I’m coming after u 4 ‘negligence’!!!!!! And don’t let Angie be burdened with caregiving, slowly wean her back to life also. Great writing as always my friend, this is truly a story where I’m looking for an update every day…
Damn right she’s not going anywhere! Her friends and family will help her get back on her feet, she just needs to let them. Great writing! PPS!!
Too right… Thank goodness she’s got her family there, cos Bette’s in no fit shape to be on her own, even with Angie around. Well done, kel, post soon.
Hey K, yes I’m back and loving your new story. I love that you had this conversation in the kitchen since so many wonderful conversations between women always take place in kitchens. This should be very interesting with all the girls living together. I hope it helps since Bette hasn’t been able to enjoy her pregnancy, and never got to really enjoy any of Tina’s. She always seems to miss the joy accompanying pregnancy. Can’t believe you had Alice debating Naruto, since that’s all I ever hear my boys talking about or playing some Naruto video game. Can’t even get away from it in ff land (lol).
uh btw, i did say ‘waiting patiently’, lmao, don’t want to rush you off your feet or anything…very poignant storytelling, love it.
Too bad cold fish IC doesn’t have a knack for tender, moving scenes like that one; beautifully done, kelika. I was a Rosanna fan, but I have to say your Tina’s a sweetheart, not to mention a smart cookie for excluding the stress-inducing Jenny from the breakfast and upcoming exercise in communal living. PPS.
The family sticks together again. It is good to see them rally around Bette in her time of need.
Thank you for the poem, always enjoy Maya Angelou. I didn’t mean to come off as flippant with regards to the love that remains between them. Unfortunately, I know from experience that you can’t change your heart regardless of circumstances… believe me I’ve tried. I just meant that their relationship would more likely remain one of a loving friendship. Your stories evoke such emotion and introspection…I just love them. By the way, has our lovely Tina remained unattached for these years??
Oh damn this is good!
Damn, you touched a nerve with me then! :P
See Tina can be all Alpha when necessary! Love how she is taking control and sorting Bette out…
