Bette stood in the doorway with Angelica held firmly in her arms. Her eyes fixated on the woman before her, who was carefully standing to approach Bette across Kit’s office.
“Who are you?”
“That’s Maxie, Mama B!” Angelica squealed in delight as she hugged Bette’s neck tighter in her arms.
“Maxie?” Bette cocked her eyebrow at Maxine in disbelief, the memories of her childhood listening to that song washed over her.
“You know in your heart…”
“Don’t tell me what I know,” Bette said sharply. “I know that you somehow managed to know a song that I knew when I was younger, and I want to know how.”
“I can tell you recognize me,” Maxine began before Bette held up one had to shut the conversation down. “I know you need time….”
“You don’t know anything about what I need, you don’t even know me!”
“What’s wrong, Mama B?” Angelica’s face turned into a frown, her eyebrows coming toward one another as she pulled back and studied Bette’s face.
“Lizzie,” Maxine began again, drawing on her old nickname for Bette. “I know this is hard for you to understand and not the way that I wanted you to find out…”
“Find out what?” Bette said stepping back as Maxine stepped toward her and Angelica. Bette quickly placed her body between Angelica and Maxine, desperate to shelter her daughter from the woman before her. “Who are you?”
Maxine’s eyes shot from Bette to Angelica, clearly indicating to Bette that perhaps the conversation would be better away from Angelica. The small action irritated Bette even more, causing more of a scene.
“Why are you calling me Lizzie?”
“Are you sure you want to have this conversation right at this moment?” Maxine challenged as her eyes drifted to her granddaughter once more. “I can see you’re upset.”
Bette’s eyes shot open in disbelief. She felt her anger rising and, unable to control it, she raised her voice.
“You know I’m upset?!” Bette’s hold on Angelica tightened as she continued, “I’m not sure why you think you know anything about me. What I know is that you somehow know a song from my childhood and a nickname from that period of time. What I’d like to know, so I’ll ask once again, is how you know those things?”

oh crikey. Don’t let Bette drive like this with Angie in the car.
Oh, and great story! PPS!
loving your work gumby, pps!
She needs to count to about 1, 000! Calm down Bette. Don’t make matters worse by getting into an accident.
OhOh — ‘Nuff Said
OMG, a pissed off Bette, what maxie has done is beyond wrong,It’s manipulative and deceitful, and not to mention STUPID. Maxie is all about her wants and needs and totally disregarding Bette, she should have put her feelings ahead of her own if she were truly looking to get back into Bette’s life. What a dumb woman!!!
My goodness, that flashpoint temper will be the end of her one day. She must calm down and she definitely doesn’t need to be driving her and Angie anywhere . She needs to wait for Tina but we know she won’t. Hope you can post tonight or tomorrow. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this story Gumby =) Hope that Bette doesn’t do anything too… c’mon Tina … go and calm her down! PPS :)
Oh I love it!!!! I hope Bette doesn’t do anything stupid. Can’t wait for the next update
thanks gumby
Not really the best way to go about it – hopefully Bette snaps out of it long enough to remember Angie. Great story. pps.
Ok man! This is just wonderful. Please don’t let bette drive with Angie in the car when she’s feeling like that. Great story. Thank you.
Great story! That accidental meeting didn’t go very well. Looking forward to more. PPS!!
Bette sure does not need to be behind the wheel of her car. She is so mad and upset that she will endanger her and Angie’s life not to mention others on the road. Sure hope Tina gets to her quickly.
Can I love your story and hate Maxie? Hate, hate hate. She is the anti-christ, just a selfish now as she was when she left Bette. I am really looking forward to reading her redemption!
Great chapter hope to see more soon…:)
Wow, that was not a good way for Bette to find out who Maxine is….so sad :(
Yes Maxine went about it all wrong but the hate from everyone is a little premature. Let the woman explain herself to Bette and tell her what happened. Also, I think Melvin deserves just as much blame for this situation too. He obviously told Bette that her mother died when he knew she didn’t and what if he kept kept Maxine away from Bette. Let’s give the lady a chance after she apologizes to Tina for deceiving her and after Bette calms down.I really hope she doesn’t stick her foot in her mouth with Tina.
Hey Gumby, That was so raw and hurtful, desperate and anger, harsh and urgent.Bette’s world has turned 180 as she hears Maxine’s revelation.The difficult part here was Angie’s confusion. Suddenly her Mama Bee was rushing her through the Planet away from her new friend, Maxie, while Bette’s tone of voice gave Angie shivers. This little girl was upset.I hope along with socal that Bette doesn’t drive in this state.There is plenty of time to sort this out once Bette and Tina are together.Please continue soon as I so admire your talent and courage for writing this truthful tale.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Oh sweet Jesus the sh*t is hitting the fan. I thick there is a lot of explaining to do all over. Nicely done
I understand Bette,this is too much.Thank you.
