The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner Schmidt After Tina (Part 3, Chapter 5)
PART THREE: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA
Chapter 5
Yes, Howie and I shared the sadness of the situation I had initiated – by breaking down into tears, as we still sat at opposite ends of our dining room table. Several minutes went by as we both wept for our own reasons.
Then he tried to pull himself together. He wiped his eyes and blew his nose, while I tried to get a grip too. He cleared his throat a few times and found his voice by saying, “You never answered me.”
I looked at him with a tear-streaked face and simply raised my eyebrows.
“Were you ever IN love with me?” he asked.
I blinked several times, giving me time to collect my thoughts. My voice was barely a whisper. “You think I’m going to say no,” I began slowly. “But it isn’t no. There were times when I did sincerely love you. They were times when we felt pride and joy in our family together. It always came when we were at our happiest, like on trips when we’d see how thrilled the kids were, like at Disney World, or when all of us were just sitting in a row boat on Lake DuRoy putting angle worms on fish hooks and not having another care in the world. I loved you then because you were an important part of the family package.
“But Howie,” I went on, “Those strong feelings for you were only temporary. They always went back to Bette. I’m sorry but I just never got over her.”
“So have you two been sleeping together all these years?’
“You already asked me that and I never gave you a straight answer. No, we never slept together again until Maui. She always blamed me for what happened in that blizzard in Wisconsin, for getting pregnant in the first place and she never really forgave me for it, until…..“
“Until what?”
“Until she was already involved with Tina.” He did not have to know all the details of that day when Bette had been drinking at my house and we almost made love because in her state of inebriation, she transferred her thoughts of me to Tina.

September, You only know it was Joyce’s advice for Bette to settle for weekend visitations and then hope for more later. As for what is going to happen in the next chapter, that you are looking forward to, expect the unexpected. Thanks for your comments.
yeah I know it was only Joyce’s advice..but i am just hoping that bette can have little angie for a long time but if that can’t happen then for the weekends is perfect to start with. You said unexpected so I guess Howie walks in? Now that I don’t hope but then again it would be boring if I knew everything. That’s why i like this story always just a little different then you hope it goes. I meant that in a goodway.
Missy September, You’re right. If you were able to predict what is coming next it would indeed be boring so I have a good surprise coming up. Also, these chapters are coming pretty fast lately and I need to slow down a little so I can prepare future chapters.
Finally Sissee and Howie had more of an in depth talk. Good for both of them. I am not so sure how Kyle will react to it, just hope that he would accept and continue to love his mom uncondtionally. It may take him a while to do that, however. About the surprise in next chapter, is that Tina withdrew the custody fight? And Bette and Sissee can live in together with Angie visiting them every now and then? That may be my wishful thinking.
Bette’s Babe, Yes, thanks for your perceptive comment. I think now Howie and Sissee have covered it all. We’ll find Kyle much easier than his siblings for reasons that will be explained. No, you will see what I mean about a surprise in the next chapter between Bette and Sissee.
Sissee’s very brave to stand up to Howie and her own convictions.
Well, I don’t know just where to start…..I admire Sissee for her willingness to tell the absolute truth but it seems a little harsh at the same time. She has waited for so long and has it all worked out in her head but Howie is new to the party and I think it is going to take some time for him to understand where she is coming from and not just think she is being a bitch!I also hope that deep down she is actually just doing this for herself and not neccessarily because of the possibility of her and Bette being a couple.Although they are fresh from having lots of sex in Maui, I think Bette has a stronger focus on the baby and even Tina. I am looking forward to seeing how you may resolve this!
Paula53, Howie is not exactly new. Bette has always been in Sissee’s life, almost as long as he has. Bette is openly gay, yet Howie chose not to accept that, or ignored it. He also is touched by homosexuality in his police work. What IS new is it now being in his family, his wife. Keep in mind that both Bette and Sissee were going to do this gradually but Howie’s phone call in Maui prompted a showdown. So he knew it was coming. Thanks for your comment.
Azmama, She just knows, it’s time.
I so can’t wait for the next chappie…I just can’t wait. Offcourse it wasn’t what bette wanted but it is a start the weekend sharing. You have to start somewhere I just hope that Tina will let Bette have that little part. But knowing you i’m afraid it will end up in court so sad. I can picture bette sitting there hearing all that B***S*** about being gay and all. She probably will lose a lot of weight and so being heart broken…well I hope it won’t happen but I quess it will. Maybe that’s why I’m going to like the next chapter very much…a little sort of alone time for the girls..you know what I mean. A little distraction of all the hard painfull real world, outside of there relationship.
