Chapter 50
Bette stared at the ceiling in her room. It was late and the house has long been quiet. If only her mind would be as quiet as her house. She couldn’t sleep. Her thoughts were staging a demolition derby in her head. Thoughts of Tina were competing with thoughts of Angelica. Bette’s mind screamed:
“Tina’s back. How do I get her to stay?”
“Angelica’s my daughter. What an amazing creature.”
“I’ve got to come through for Tina and I think I have but what about next time?”
All these thoughts crashing into each other in a way that left Bette laughing one minute and crying the next.
The serious nature of her conversation with Angelica was short lived after Bette passed along her father’s advice. Advice which had been poignant thirty or so years ago was just as valid and on target today. Bette felt grateful for her father’s guidance. It was ironic that his help should come from beyond the grave but that was exactly the kind of guidance that was needed. It provided a feeling of continuity that Angelica needed. The feeling of Father handing down to Daughter who then hands down to her Daughter, this lineage is what Bette understood was her role for Angelica.
Soon after she had passed the advice along Bette found herself on her own side of the table eating her dinner. Angie for her part seemed satisfied enough with Bette’s answers on her race questions to move on to other pressing issues in her life. None of which were as challenging to answer as the ‘who am I’ question. The conversation flowed back and forth with Bette offering views and opinions that Angelica seemed to value. Bette did do one thing before they moved too far off the subject. She elicited a promise from Angelica to consult with her when things of that nature came up where she felt lost and not able to talk to anyone. She made Angelica promise to come to her, seek her out so she never would run away again.
Bette was happy to learn Angie wanted to go to college. When Bette asked about what she wanted to major in, Angie rolled her eyes letting Bette know everyone must ask her that question. Angie let Bette know while Art played a huge role her life she wasn’t entirely sure if that should be her major. Bette remembers her sigh of relief. These were all much easier topics to discuss.

I really hope Bette will stay cool even if Tina attacks her. Hopefully Angie had learned enough about Bette to understand that Bette has called her mom only to help. This story is really amazing. The changes in Bette’s behaviour are all explained and I also like that Angie knows about the old Bette as well. I think James did a good job. Angie will be clever enough to weigh all she heard about Bette and she will have a better picture what happened than Tina (I hope it is not only wishful thinking). Please post soon I can’t wait. Please.
Please just answer one question for me,how old is Tina in this story?
Great! It’s exciting! Can’t wait for the next post …
god, what is tina problem? she’s the one who needs to grow up..i hope she won’t ruin anything with her “acting without thinking” move
patience it is a virtue. too bad some cant control themselves. funnyone more is coming. snowing fucking buckets today.
Wow finally the moment Angie will her mum, exciting can’t wait:) PPS
albeez, I’ve never seen buckets fucking. I can’t wait to see it! No eye fucking the kids, you hear me?
I’m back!!!! I was away for almost a week :S I missed this story so much it was almost painful :( I’m glad Angie finally opened up to Bette :) but I can’t believe Tina is still not trusting Bette. Anyway GREAT chappie :) I hope you post soon ’cause I will be catching up on other stories too =D
ohhh Jwet…. Tina needs to take it down about three notches and not storm over there with her panties in a twist. I’m hoping she hears a great song on the radio or allows herself to enjoy past memories to calm her down on the drive.
Years ago Tina trusted Bette with her heart.soul,love and her life. She has put her life into raising Angie. As a Mother I believe that she did a decent job. Together they would have done a beautiful job but that was not to be. Having Bette to fall back on will be Angies life perserver. She needs her Mom, Every baby calf needs her mom even if the cow is dry, The only thing I canshe that Tina couldnt or would answer the otherness. Let Bette and Tina show repect for each other in front of Angie. thanks Happy Holiday to you. thanks
Hope Tina will stay and talk to Bette!
Oh my god jwet! i know I havnt commented much on the alst few chapters, but i havnt been idly sitting by and ignoring them. i do love this. I really wish that motherhood would have given tee a better perspective on things. she seems to revert into this childish immature ningcompoop the minute bette comes to mind. She should just step up to the plate, thank her for what she’s done for Angie. I fear that angie will turn around and say “I want to stay here with Bette.” and then drop some motherly remark like, she feels mote like my mother.. eugh.. drama
Hopefully it wont be written that way. Poor tina will have her heart broken by the two most important women in her life… I hope you dont write it like that.
Tina is infuriating. She’s way more immature than Angelica, despite the love and nurturing she’s given the girl. Yes, the weather has been a special treat lately. I was regaling albeez with my weather report last night: 3*F, 30mph winds, -22*F windchill. Why? Why?
Tina, get you b*tt over to Bette’s house now; and while you wait for Angelica to get up; get to get Bette again! The wait is tearing me….Great story; can’t wait for the reunion. Good thoughts on the home visitation!
wow such a beautiful story! hope you decide to update soon, can’t wait for more! i hope tina will stay for the next few days instead of going home.. than bette can rebuild the love they shared and tina can meet her old friends :)
Tina really needs to slow down in her thinking and actions. Bette obviously has done a great job talking with Angelica to the point of putting Angie’s mind at ease, now that she knows she has someone to talk with when thigs get rough. I wish she would tell one of them what that so-called friend said to her that kick-started all this. I hope Tina cools down by the time she gets to Bette since they have both spent a sleepless night and will not be at their very best so early in the morning. Another thing Tina has not thought of is how in the world will she explain how she knew where Angelica was staying and who she was with without explaining her connection to Bette and the gang. Another problem for our lovely Ms. Tina. I hope Tina will give them all a chance to sit and talk before running back to New York and will allow Bette the visitation that they all need. Wonderful chapter. If we beg and be real good boys and girls can we have another chapter before Christmas? You’re doing a wonderful job with this story Jwet. It can’t be very easy to write considering all the things that have to be considered from each character and not give away something too early in the game or in a way that no one gets hurt in any way. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Post when you can.
my heart is breaking and i’m hoping that you will mend it before Christmas, Jwet :) like nunya1, i would hate so see Tina’s heart ripped from her again. i hope she calms down before she gets to Bette’s house so they can resolve this first part of the problem with no more tears shed. post when you can!
