The Adventures of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner After Yale (Part 7, Chapter 6)
Part Seven: Venice, California
Chapter 6
I could see as Bette walked slowly toward us that she clearly did not like what she saw. Howie stood up and turned himself toward the wall, then reached up to his face and put his thumb over one eye and his index finger over the other, rubbing his eyes. Then, without looking at Bette he moved his chair back to where it was.
Bette stopped at the chair she sat in earlier, looking at me for some sort of explanation but before I could offer any, she saw the tears and asked, “Are you okay?”
I nodded.
Howie sat back down in his chair. He glanced at Bette. She threw him a condescending look. His response was a blank face.
I did not know what to say; nothing seemed appropriate. I had to think but there was no time. Bette wanted to get in on the conversation and my wheels were turning fast wondering how to do that.
“We‘ll talk later Bette,” I managed to say. Then I wiped my eyes and face and blew my nose.
“What‘s going on, Sissee?” she asked, folding her arms.
I looked at her and just shook my head.
She looked at Howie, “Suppose you tell me.”
“It’s not what we talked about but I want you to know that I accept full responsibility for this baby.”
“Oh, do you:?”
“Yes.”
“And what exactly does that mean?”
“I’ll do what ever Sissee wants.”
“Such as?”
Howie looked at me. “Sissee, what do you want me to do about it?”
I felt extremely weary and was not prepared to answer. “I don’t know.” I hung my head. “All I know is that I wanted you to know that I’m pregnant.”
Bette glared at Howie, “Thanks to you and your fucking dick!”
“Bette,” I said, looking up at her. “It wasn’t his fault.”
“Oh, is that what he told you?”
“It was my fault,” I said. “He didn’t force me into anything. I was willing because ….well, I just had too much to drink and I thought it was you.”

Poor Sissee, she’s stuck smack in the middle of this whole thing. I know this will be a hard decision & I’m sure life altering. Thanks!
Sissee, you’re very welcome & thank you for the compliment.
kbergin47, You seem like such a compassionate person and I do appreciate your loyalty to this story. Thank you so very much.
colenickel, I think you are on to something in one way but off base in another. In any case, we are near to the end of After Yale which will be followed by another part. Meanwhile, I do thank you for being one of my readers who lets me know you are there from time to time. I see the numbers but for what ever reason, I don’t “hear” their voices.
I feel that this may be more than bette and sissees relationship can take and as much as i feel howie would be a good father i hope sissee doesnt marry him because she would be denying her true self. she obviously cares for him but she cant love him in that way if she still chooses bette. in the end she might have to accept his help and go it alone because for all her bravado i just dont see bette being able to take on this responsibility. thanks so much for this story.
