Chapter 46
Angelica felt her stomach drop as the emotional rollercoaster she’s been riding took a sudden dip south. “No that’s not it.” Angelica protested Bette’s reasoning. “I just don’t tell her about everything.” She insists.
Angelica watches Bette closely hoping that she wouldn’t have to explain more because she really didn’t know what more she could say. She has been telling her Mom half truths for so long it has become a way of life for her. It was never anything critical before this trip but still if Angelica thought about it she would have to admit that the little steps have gradually built to this bigger step. Angelica feels the doubt from Bette yet Bette is giving her time to answer. Angie for a change can’t tell what she is thinking by just looking at Bette and this bugs her.
Finally Bette asks, “You love your Mother don’t you?” This time when Bette asks it really is a question not like before when it was more of a fact.
Angelica is quick to answer, this one was easy. She nods her head and answers at the same time. “Yes, yes I love my Mom and she loves me.”
Angelica receives a little nod in return acknowledging her response. Bette’s seems tense like she has more to say but isn’t sure how to go about it. Because Angelica wants to silence any doubts Bette may have she feels compelled to continue.
“I love my Mom I really do she’s always trying to be there for me when she can but sometimes it gets hard to pull it all together. It’s so much easier to let some things slide without her knowing it that way she isn’t put out. You know, go on vacation with my friend and her family instead of making Mom use up all her vacation time when she really needs to be on set.” Angelica looks up to Bette to see if she is following along. “Really it’s a system we have worked out between us.” Angelica is feeling good about this explanation the deeper she got into it.
Bette is hesitant about responding, “Yea …ah …but”
Angelica watches Bette rub her forehead with her left hand. The force of her fingers leaving fleeting white impressions from the amount of force she’s exerting. ‘Was she giving Bette a headache?’ The thought passes quickly because Bette starts speaking again.

Ah Jwet! What an update! bette has a way, a wonderful way of talking to Angie, how is she going to deal with this. She’s searching for herself. she’s looking for the other parent.. and she’s right in front of her.. what a story! More soon!
It doesnt matter how you get a child. Adoption is wonderful because you have the love for this child to want to be her parent. I call them the chosen ones. I know this they step on your feet when they are small and your heart when they become older. Good Luck Bette is trying to be so loving and honest with Angie,yet procting Tina. Hope that Angie didnt catch the slip about putting every thing even before her. thanks
Was that an intended slip up with Bette saying “first before you”? Great story to give Anige, now lets find out what Tina’s not telling. I presume it has a lot to do with how come Angie is bi-racial. Hopefully Bette can convince Tina to be honest with Angie as she wants her to be with her.
And so begins the painfully honest process of revealing themselves to one another. It’s made even more difficult as this process is based on a fragile and still developing love and trust. Bette is under great pressure to accomplish this soul connection in a period of time set by Tina. Thank you for such a complex and elegant story. May your path to adoption be smooth and successful.
Awesome chapter – mother’s try to protect however lying is not protecton and now Tina will find that out for real. I so love Bette being the one to help this mother and daughter find their way.
Adopting?/ What a noble and loving thing to do. A sequel? That warms my heart. Bette is an egotist. A beautiful, stunning egotist who everyone forgives (except Tina) b/c of her looks. She couldn’t get away w/half those things if she were average looking. And I fully admit that I am smitten w/her.PPVS b/c I love this story. I enjoy the complexity of the characters and their relationships.
Excellent, Jwet. One of my favorite chapters along with the image of Bette twirling Tina in pure happiness. I love the way you’ve written Bette’s compassion and empathy for both Tina and Angelica. I hope that Angelica is open to hearing the answer to her question. Fingers crossed about the adoption. I’m keeping you in good thoughts!
That was great!
Jwet, I’m so sorry, I promise to stay out of your story. lol These things come to mind when I am reading. I will keep them to myself from now on. Thanks so much for understanding. Now I will go and read the story and come back.
keep on plugging with the court. you two would be great moms. very compelling story bette is telling. its amazing what you can learn if you are humble. thx
That was a great chapter and I really feel sorry for Angie. Maybe now Tina will tell her who she is, after she talks with Bette. Question please, On the second page when Bette was telling Angie about her attitudes, etc, she said to Angie, “That came first in my life, first before you, …….before the one closest to my heart.” Did Bette mean to say, “first before you.” Thankfully Angie missed it or if she didn’t at least she did not ask the question. Great chapter. PPS
I love your story …..and well i am mostly a siklent reader but well this story moved me so i pop in to wish you luck with your next Courtdate..Kids a mostly great even you want to ..well you see we have three so i know whyat i talked about…..But please post soon ..regards Blacky
I think as a Tibette fan sometimes I downplay the other characters like Angelica. But in this story you explore the relationship that Angelica has with Tina and how she relates to Bette. I think its important for Angie to build a relationship with Bette because maybe she can contribute to some of the “otherness”…Since I know now you are thinking sequel then we will now get to see Angie finding out the history of Tina and Bette and also with my favorite couple reconnecting. Thanks I don’t have to tell you to PPS.. LOL
Wow, adopting! That’s enormous. I wish you all the best. Bette learned the hard way. I guess Tina is still in the process. It’s not like she was or is completely blameless and she needs to stop believing that, for everybody’s sake.
“Acknowledge that you failed, draw your lessons from it, and use it to your advantage to make sure it never happens again.-MICHAEL JACKSON …..I’m so proud of Bette right now!
loved this chapter! and though i’m sure they will still have some hurdles, it is comforting to know that you will eventually have them reconnecting :) i’ll be keeping you both in my prayers for the next court date!
You know TKGIRL23, while the quote isn’t BAD, once you find it’s from Michael Jackson, it loses something. He’s no one to admire, given that he’s nuts and very, very likely a child molester who never, ever learned his lesson about anything important in life.
I also wondered about you slipping in the “first before you.” comment – nicely done! I love Bette’s insight in this chapter, it’s wonderful that she is willing to be so honest with Angie, now if only Angie will really hear her. PPS.
First of all, good luck and best wishes with your adoption process. This is such a tremendous act of love for a special and lucky little one. The love that you already have for this little one will definitely give you the strength and courage to complete this process. “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Lao Tzu
i agree with angelica…tina should’ve been honest with her too
Wow, talk about self realization. I can imagine Angelica not putting the old Bette with the new Bette. Can’t wait to see the surprise (spite?) in store for Angelica. Can’t wait! Happy Holidays!
