    Window of Opportunity

    Chapter 47

    Tina

     When I arrived home, it was quiet. I guess I expected that since it was after midnight. I unloaded the groceries and put everything away. I then checked on Angie who was splayed out on her bed. I put her back on her pillow and covered her with her blanket before kissing her, watching her for a moment and quietly walked out. I then checked on Bette who was deeply sleeping with her glasses perched on the bridge of her nose and a book across her chest. I gingerly lifted the glasses and placed them on her nightstand and placed the bookmark in place before closing the book and placing it beside the glasses. I kissed her cheek and sat there looking at her. As unknown as tonight was for me when I went to the hotel, I knew I had her to return to. I knew that had I asked to go with me she would have. Just knowing that she’s there for me makes my life less frightening. As much as I wanted to tell her about the evening, I needed some time to myself. I needed some quiet reflection to sort out the mixed emotions I was feeling.

    I went into the guest room and grabbed some clothes before going into the bathroom for a quick shower. After running a comb through my hair and putting on some pajama bottoms on and a tank top, I went into the kitchen. I didn’t want ice cream which should have scared me since it had always been a surefire way to calm my nerves. I poured a glass of Chardonnay which I took outside with me. I sat beside the pool and just started to cry. There was no real reason. I thought that I had cried myself out earlier but here I sat, once again losing myself in tears. I didn’t hear Shane until she had approached me and was sitting down.

    “Tina, are you ok?”

    I wiped the tears away but they were only replaced by more. “Yeah, I’m ok contrary to how I look right now. What are you doing over here instead of out scoping for women?”

    “I was too tired to go out tonight. I was outside having a smoke and heard you. I looked and didn’t see Bette so I decided to check to make sure you were ok. Are you?”

    1. Can you believe that I finally caught up. I am so happy that Tina’s parents and Bette and Tina are doing well with each other. I can see Angie running in and calling her parents mommies. Mommies can I have a drink or something like that.

    2. Newage, you never disappoint me! This was a brilliant chapter and extra long too…my favourite. The only fear I have about the BBQ ia Alice…quick…someone run and get some duct tape!

    3. Tina will and is giving them the second chance. They will need to walk the straight line or Tina will tell them Bette and Tina are her everything. that was awesome chapter. thanks

    4. I second everyone! I’m so happy for Tina, and in a way I can see this may be a way for Bette to heal some old wounds too. It seems we’re all on the same page expecting Alice to come up with some good stuff to test the parents…no pressure!

    5. Outstanding NAG, the comunication between parents and daughter and parents and daughter-in-law is amazing. Wouldn’t the real world be much more special if all people owned up to their mistakes and showed they could be better. Just heart warming. Thank you. Md

    6. PERFECT….can’t wait for tomorrow…Angie center stage and her granpappy an artist…she must be brilliant…and no wonder T fell for Bette…T really does have an EYE for art.

    7. Just AWESOME. I’ve been enthralled totally by this story from day one. If there s a way to make this into a book, you should. You’ve done a marvelous job with the story and it is one that a lot of us can relate to regarding the missing relationshps with parents and loved ones because of who we are. You’ve captured perfectly all the anxieties, thrills and chills that are brought about by the emotional highs and los of being separated from family and rec-connecting again, not to mention the joys of parenting. Everything is so beautifully done. Now on to meet Angie and … ahem, Alice. Sure hope Alice will be on her best behavior and she just can not know about MiMi, that would be just awful. PPS

    8. Yup Yup…Absolutely awesome! Was quite amused that Tina ‘had a cow’…and truly…Alice would be udderly bedside herself if she found out as well. Thanks, nagster…keep typin’… :)

    9. Tina had a pet cow named MiMi! *ROFL* That’s priceless! And I loved the devious way Tina made Bette promise to keep that a secret from Alice. *ROFL* Well, that lunch and trip down memory lane for Tina and her parents went very well. There was no hint of defensiveness from Tina or Bette and Tina’s folks seemed very warm and really contrite for their past sins. I love how this is leading to forgiveness and another chance to start over as a better, tighter family. Thanks for coming up with another brilliant chapter, newagegirl! I LOL at this => “I always knew from the moment she picked up a crayon, unfortunately putting it in her mouth, but I could still see brilliance shining through.-Bette” and her fleeting thought to cook the lasagna. I love this Bette to bits! Her deep love and unwavering support for Tina shone through again. And I equally love Tina to pieces! She is truly nurturing, loving and sweet. Together, they’re such a joy to watch or should I say, read. The chapter began with an emotional Tina and it ended with tears too, tears of joy. Can’t wait for Angie’s meeting with her grandparents. Again, *thank you,* newagegirl! You make every visit to this site really enjoyable and worthwhile. PPS! :>
