Window of Opportunity
Chapter 60
Bette
As I lay there after Tina had checked on me, I started developing fears that the wonderful things that were happening in my life were somehow going to be taken away from me and I got scared. I had gotten over most of my fears that Tina would leave me but in lying there thinking, I feared now that she had her family back, she may not need me any longer. She may now be able to see that she didn’t in fact forgive me for my indiscretion with Candace and didn’t want to marry me. If she left, I would only have Angie part time which would be hard but I would also lose Catherine and Sam and that was a terrifying thought to me.
As much as I was trying to be supportive as Tina made the reconnection with her parents, I was unaware that I was drawn into the reunification myself and had come to care deeply for these people as more than just Tina’s parents. Her father helped and offered suggestions when I asked in regards to the house or anything else I asked him about. Her mom was just nurturing. I had never had that within my own family. Had my father been interested in my life and I had asked him something as simple as assistance with the pool fence, he would have told me to call someone. I know it wouldn’t have been his forte like it was Sam’s but he wouldn’t have shown any interest in at all, even if it was of interest to me.
I think the thing that really made me drawn to them was their total love and admiration of Angie. They came into her life and never hesitated to love her and accept her differences. I doubt that they noticed her skin color as she was their grandchild and that’s all that mattered to them. They also were ok with Tina and I and as she had told them, not just tolerant of us but really ok with us. They acknowledged our relationship, which is something that Melvin never did. They loved our friends and Kit and Catherine commiserated so many times about their past misdeeds their friendship was so solid.

I have finally, finally caught up. Let me say now, it’s been a blast, and I’ve enjoyed it so much. I love the pace of the story, and the differing POVs, the little touches, and how B&T really *work* on their relationship. This story is great, nag, thanks so much for it. I’m looking forward to the next post.
Once again a wonderful update!
OMG… i finally caught up again… life gets in the way of fan fiction… loved every chapter… the drive in.. the fish and grits… now i am with bette… thats not my morning breakfast… loved the berries.. dammmm… i could see them eating and the juice all over… OMG… ok… i’m better now… PPS
Grits…worst thing I ever tried when in the Carolina’s! lol Still lovin this story! PPS
Enjoyed this Shane and Alice is getting the thrill of their life. So is Bette/ t thank
No NAG, I can’t stop laughing cause it’s to cute, I struggled to stay up last night and read this but wanted to comment better than I would have last night. I don’t know where to begin with all the fun in this chapter, I think it was Tina & Bette getting busted at strawberry foreplay, or maybe Bette getting the girl from the old boyfriend, whatever, your amazing with all the love and fun you put into this story with all your busy life has. So hugs to little G-man and if I’m thinking correctly you are comming very close to the end of your year. YOU ROCK GIRL. Thank you, Md
Great chapter NAG, really enjoying this story. The antics the girls get up too and Tina and Bette still on a discovery of their love, just how much they love one another and what that love means to them and to the family to watch them together. This chapter was really sweet and loving. It would be a wonderful thing to have a love in your life like the one you are showing here. All of the B&T stories show the love they have but your story has a tenderness and a lovliness about it. I can’t find the words to tell you what I am trying to say. Understand that I truly love this story, it speak to me on a level that few things have reached. Thank you. Hugs and Kisses to little man. Post when you can.
A phenomenal narrative….rich, layered and thoroughly entertaining. PPS.
I don’t comment often, but I just have to let you know how much I enjoy your writing. The way you tell a story is just so real. I really got a chuckle about the grits. I’m from the south and love them, but I get a kick watching someone trying to figure out what the hell they are, when eating them for the first time. Anyway, this is one of the stories that I look for first everyday…..and so love the long chapters… Thanks!
So, Bette had to show the ex up huh, LOL the Alpha always ever present.
Just another wonderful chapter can’t wait for the next, always brightens my mornings reading your story, and I certainly don’t think grits seem especially appealing. Please Post again Soon.
Another great post!
Perfect as always! Trust me when I say that although I do live in the DEEP South, I too am so not a fan of grits! YUCK…. I hope that your little man is thriving in his new environment and that you have mastered the sleep schedule with him ;o)
I think that’ll be fun to see Sam chases Bette with a shotgun…haha…nice chapter..thanks…
catherine should send some grits back with tina as a joke,lol.. love how bette should her alphaness to the tina’s ex,lol… alice and shane on the tractor was too funny, but the ebest we kit telling bette where she could put her fancy camera,ROFL.. i love this story so much always looking for updates this story just getting and better, love the lazy days. Tina was a wild chicki in her younger days, had a laugh at sam chasing drew away with a shotgun hahaha i wonder if there is fair around hmmm. i can seeing them all having blast… AMAZING :)PPS
Another wonderful chapter. I look forward to this story so much. Thanks again for writing.
This story is so enjoyable and brings up a lot of memories. I look forward to every post and can’t wait for the next one. 4 and 1/2 days with kids and 3 days with just the grown ups then bring on the summer (lots of yard and house work but also some beach time).
LOL…I’ve never seen so many remarks about grits! Well, I still love them…and too they remind me of my youth and childhood…which is what your story does as well…bring back wonderful memories. Makes me want to take a vacation back in time to this life that you describe so vivdly. Thanks, naggy :)
You bring back so many memories for me with your story that I can picture all these different events happening while reading about them. The love they all have for one another shines through with your wonderful words. Thanks as always NAG! Oh, and very glad to see in your notes that when this beautiful story ends you have another one waiting in the wings for us.
What a wonderful way to start the holiday! The tone was perfect for a relaxing day in the sun and fresh air. Thank you!
NAG, I couldn’t go to bed until I had read this. FANTASTIC again. I LMAO when Bette said she’d see grits in her nightmare. You are such an accomplished story teller…I get lost in these updates and never want them to end. Thank you! I can’t wait until your next one.
I’m with Bette I hate grits
Awww, another well-crafted, thoroughly enjoyable chapter! My God, how do you come up with such 10-page gems at such frequency? I LMAO at Bette’s account of the back seat scene when she almost had a heart attack and would have shit at her pants if she were wearing pants when a sound first blared at the speakers. That was really funny! *snort* Loved the scene when Angie was jabbering about her grandparents while she was swinging in between her mommies’ arms as they were strolling around the farm. I love how she has bonded with Sam and Catherine and how they have really embraced Tina’s family. It’s touching to know they’ve been bragging about them to their relatives and friends. Thanks for introducing us to Charles, who’s really a character, and Tina’s high school sweetheart. And Catherine wins mom and mom-in-law of the year for being so understanding of the couple’s mid-morning urges! Let me go over their list of firsts so far: Mile High Club, check; Dean Porter’s office, check; drive-in theater, check; creative use of strawberry juices, check; and by the creek, over and over again, check. A truly impressive list! I wonder what or where they’ll do it next? But all I really want to say is, *THANK YOU,* newagegirl! And I hope this lovely tale is not gonna end anytime soon. Hugs and kisses to your little one for allowing you to write on! Pls post as soon as you can. :)
