    Break of Day (Time of Day 42)

    Tina rolled over. And again. The bed always felt too large when she was in it alone. Lately, that status, alone, was rarely the case. But this morning, she was alone. The bed was too large. And too empty.

     

    In her unrest, Tina stretched. As she did, she caught sight of her hand.

     

    She thought back to a few months ago, one certain day. A day that stood out as the most horrible wonderful day in her memory.

     

    Angelica was suffering a bout of some stomach bug. Whatever went in came out, and in the most messy way possible. Tina had gone through a day of crying and clothing changes. And what Tina had experienced was nothing, she knew, compared to how her daughter had been feeling, what her daughter had been through.

     

    Into this chaos came Bette. Bette, caught doe-eyed in headlights, never having had the girl during any similar time of illness.

     

    The entire situation might have been comical had it not been so stressful. Fortunately for Angelica, the bug was one of big impact but short duration. Fortunately for the adults, the illness was not transmitted.

     

    So, into this world came Bette, seeking to declare her love, only to find herself rescheduled by a force greater than herself. A circumstance greater than most any. A sick child.

     

    Tina smiled as she recalled Bette’s recounting of a phone call to her parents. Her mother later had given her a recap on that call. Her father had, as Bette said, not been initially keen on the idea of her ex-partner’s renewed interest in his daughter. Each of her parents respected Bette, though, and respected the fact that she was willing to take things slowly and give things another try.

     

    At that point, Bette was saying many wonderful things. And at that point, Tina fell soundly asleep, getting the first break that she’d had within a long day with a sick child.

     

    The nap hadn’t been long. She couldn’t sleep deeply on that day, just as she could never sleep deeply whenever Angelica was ill. But that day, she recalled drifting off in spite of the fact that she hadn’t gotten a question to ask Bette what all she had been up to on that day.

    2. I’m thrilled to see that you picked up the story again pseud, delighted with the contents and seeing how Tina and Bette are going to move forward, but I’m sorry that this is the end. Thank you for this post, but I hope we’ll see you again, and soon. Happy New Year

    3. Loved it! Thanks so much for bringing this one back. Hope you pick up your pen again for us sometime. It’s always a joy to read a story from you. :)

    4. i had realised it has been a while since your last post so i decided to recap the last chapter. then like 30mins later, you posted the last chapter! it was a tad creepy. but the goodness outweighs the weirdness. lol. thanks for this wonderful post, pseud. do hope to read more from you in the near future. take care.

    5. “I think that this is the end for me. At least for now.” Oh, say it ain’t so… it won’t be the same in 2008 without you. A big ‘Thank You’ for all you’ve written, pseud! And I’m keeping you at the top of my Fav Authors list, just in case. ;-)Take care, and all the best to you.

    6. I was so happy to see that you’d posted again and so bummed to see your note. I hope you can find some inspiration and returne to us in the future. Maybe you could fill us in on some of the other characters or touch on some of the things the show threw in and then disregarded (something dear IC does regularly). Please don’t let the distressing things your TV presents limit you. In any case, I enjoy your work.

    7. That was beautiful, so nice to see a post from you. Thank you for taking the time and finishing the story and hopefully this will not be the end of posting for you. Thanks again.

    8. I love this series and hope that at some time you will continue with it. Getting back together is so much more than jumping in bed together. The way that you had them reconnect is the way that I hope that the show will cover.
