    Sharing the pain…and the joy.

    Chapter 35

    It was Sunday around noon and after getting up early after a sleepless night Bette had already worked out and pretty much taken care of all her chores.  She knew the rest of the day was just going to drag.  She had spent most of the work week with Tina and Ellie, and they had shared a wonderful dinner together on Friday night, but ‘Joe’s’ Christmas party was yesterday and today Tina and Ellie were spending the day doing all of the holiday things they always did together.  Bette had kept herself as busy as possible at the Gallery yesterday but today she really didn’t have anything planned.  She wouldn’t be seeing Tina until Monday morning at work and she was really starting to feel the ache. 

    She rolled on her side and grabbed the pillow on Tina’s side of the bed and pulled it to her.  ‘Oh my God I am so lost in this woman.’  She closed her eyes and tried the hold in the tears, but with the holidays fast approaching she couldn’t help but let her mind fall on the past and she let her body and mind succumb to the feelings of loneliness and unfulfilled hope of a young girl.  ‘So many Christmas mornings, so many holidays, so many dreams and fantasies of her mother coming home, so as she got older she just filled the time during the holidays with work and whatever woman happened to be convenient.  She was always so careful not to need any one like that ever again.  Now look at me sitting here and dreaming about sitting by a fire with a family that’s not even mine.  Hoping and fantasizing about a life that will probably never be mine.  I’m such a fool.’  Bette tried to steel herself from the powerfully painful emotions, but she couldn’t.  She hugged the pillow and sobbed hard until she finally dozed off.

    She was abruptly woken by pounding on the glass door to the bedroom.  Without thinking she jumped up and pulled the curtain aside to see the cause of the noise.  She was face to face with the beautiful smile of her love, and then she saw that expression change to one of concern and fear.  Tina quickly motioned for Bette to open the door.  Bette tried to her wipe face quickly before opening the door.

    6. “You brought me Christmas.” CUTE! :) Bette is rather complicated isn’t she? JB said she choose her to play because she (Bette) was so troubled. Troubled and completely disfunctional are two different things. Thank God she was sane. She simply has her moments. Mostly insecurity shows up from time to time. Which manifest as fear. I’m glad in the series we were able to see Bette grow out of some of it in the end.

    15. I thought we were done with heavy stuff??? What happened to Bette in her childhood is terrible.Tin is the rght person to take away this hidding fear of Bette. PPVS

    17. That was so moving. Bette is so fortunate to have Tina in her life. She has finally found someone who loves her enough to go through her pain with her and help her to heal. Thanks for this amazing update.
