Chapter 57
Tina looked at Bette with a mixture of annoyance and fear “What are you doing here Bette?”
Bette could read the mixture of emotions in Tina, the way she stood slightly behind Angelica but placed a hand on Angelica’s shoulder to hold her back. It was an understandable reaction, one Bette herself might have if she was in Tina’s shoes. Choosing to ignore the annoyance and play to alleviating the fear, “I’m going to New York. I’ve got family there to visit.”
Tina understood Bette immediately. She was coming to them. It startled Tina that Bette would be so …she couldn’t wrap her mind around it. Normally Tina would use the word blatant but there was nothing challenging in Bette’s statement. The tone and delivery was nothing more than making a statement. Bette was clearly stating her intentions. Despite her fears, Tina wanted to hear more.
“Ah …”
Here Bette advanced to both her and Angelica holding her hand up to halt Tina from responding more. Turning to Angelica, “Hey Angelica. Good to see you again. It’s going to be a long flight. Why don’t you head over to the gift shop and get yourself some reading material for the flight. Your Mother and I need to have a few words. Would you mind?” Bette accompanies this request with one of her sweetest smiles.
Angelica had so many questions flying through her mind at the appearance of Bette. She wanted to stay and hear this conversation but was convinced by Bette’s request that nothing would be said in her presence. She so wanted whatever was going on between her Mother and Bette to be out in the open so she could understand it. Reluctantly she agreed. “Yeah sure.”
She turns and leaves before she realizes she doesn’t have any money. Turning back she sees Bette has already stepped forward to her Mother and was placing both her hands on her Mom’s shoulders. At the contact even she from this distance could see her Mom jump. There was definitely something going on between them. It brought to Angelica’s mind something that James had said about the amazing connection between Bette and the ‘Love of Her Life’. The pieces were falling into place, Bette declaration to her Mom, the connection the two of them seem to have all these pieces fit like a puzzle. The only question left was where she fit in? That was something she definitely needed an answer to but right now wasn’t the time. Smiling at the look on her mother’s face, Angelica backs away letting the crowd move between her and the two women.

I was going to leave a longer comment until I read the word “remission.” PPS
I hope Tina realizes that life is too short to even waste a moment on small petty issues. Its time she open her heart again. And kudos to Bette for finally taking a stand. Great story Jwet
I’m so proud of Bette. I wish Angelica wouldn’t have said anything about her illness. Now Tina may make a decision based on sympathy rather than true love. PPS
Love that Bette is going after her family, Angie has thrown her Mom for a loop Angies need Bette right now,Bette needs Tina the all need each other. Happy New Year
Tina handle that very well “Yes in the very best sense of who Bette is and no because you have never brought me pain.” I am shock that Angie thru that comment in..
Thank you, Md
Great!! I was wondering when Bette’s illness was going to come as a topic =/
Yeah, Tina, shit and get off the pot already, you’ve been sitting on it for years. Besides, you GOT your wish. Bette is coming for you, just like you always wanted. Crap, you would have thought that watching a child grow from a newborn to an intelligent and accomplished young woman would have clued Tina into the passage of time. Wake up, stupid!
I’m just loving this story. I don’t think Tina would get back w/Bette out of sympathy but it makes her decision to happen more quickly. Also, it’s throws a wrench into the whole deal b/c how sick is Bette? How long will remission last? Does Tina want the heartache of being a caregiver to someone who has a short time to live, if that’s the case? Many questions.
loved how bette told tina exactly what her intentions are. glad that tina finally opened up to angie. the revelation of bette’s illness is probably the last push she needs to open her heart again. can’t wait for the next chapter… and the sequel ;)
finally bette’s illness was brought up to tina…i hope now she won’t take too much time to think about what bette said
For a moment I started to panic….then I remembered that you do sequels…thank goodness!!! I’m so glad that Bette jumped into the unknown, I don’t think Tina would have.
Ok, I’ve got to go back and read the previous chapters because I don’t remember anything about an illness and being in remission. I must have slept through a chapter! I just hope Tina gets back with Bette for the right reasons and not just out of sympathy! PPS
well, things are out in the open now. When will Angelica connect the dots and realize Bette is her mom. it’s so cool that mom/daughter can talk; and it’s so good that Angelica got the ‘backstory’ of bette’s love of her life. ooooh, just good….if I say I’ve very good since Christmss, do we get another post? Or does simple begging still works? Thanks!!!
Wow, just read the last 6 updates. You’ve been busy. All I can say is thank God Alice let the cat out of the bag, for getting Bette to go after her family, for Angelica for asking questions that need answers, and for Tina answering them. Forgot about Bette being sick. I will count of you to keep it in remission, and I don’t think that’s what will turn Tina around. She love’s Bette, for better or for worse she just has to accept it.
Well, Bette didn’t play the health problem card. So she knows that Tina is interested.
what funnyone said. plus i love this. so very intelligent and true. thx
Now look here…Bette can not be sick, ok?
Found this fic over the weekend and I think it’s brilliant! I can’t wait for the next part!
The illness should not affect Tina’s decision. Angelica was a little ahead of herself in that remark. But its okay, it should only help Tina’s motherly instinct to look after her Bette. And Bette will be fine Jwet won’t she. No more killing off characters. Kay!? Or else.. you know.. yeah, you do.
plz do not let Bette die.
I just managed to catch up on your story today. Great stuff! Somehow, i sense more drama upon broaching the topic of bette’s remission…
oh boy…. I hope Tina doesnt go back to Bette out of pity. I’d rather her go back to Bette because of the love she has. Glad to see Bette being honest for a change! But also for not pushing Tina into a decision.Great story………. cant wait for the next chapter.
For the love of Gawd……TINA!!!pressure?what pressure? OK,here is the thing,you have done your soul-searching,so has Bette,Angelica have already put the pieces together(an is being very mature about it)so I don’t know what else is there to say,than “I love you,I miss you”,kiss,have wild passionate sex(sixteen years to make up for)get married ,move to a beach house in California and live happily ever after.(we are talking about 16yrs later and “remission”here)Soon Angie will be in College and her one wish is to have “ONE WHOLE MOTHER”.
Stop at the edge of a cliff!!! You might as well push us off. Great for Bette to go after them. Great for Tina being honest with Angelica to a point. Bad that Tina finds out through Angelica that Bette is in remission. Hope she doesn’t go back to Bette out of pity? Here we are in limbo once again. Love your stories. Thanks for sharing with us. A loyal fan. PPS
finally caught up on my reading-love this story-thanks for the story j, please post soon
you know I love it! Go Bette! pps
Finally, Tina knows that maybe Bette does not have all the time in the world. I can’t wait for Bette and Tina to reveal that Angelica is their daughter.
That was great!
