Bette and Kit sat out in the living room and talked for a couple of hours, as it was still early for them. They sipped on their tea and shared information about their lives for the past several months. “So, what made you come to New York?” Kit asked.
“I guess I chose it because of the amazing amount of art everyway… there are so many galleries and museums in this huge city. It’s my passion so I figured that maybe I could coerce someone into hiring me because of what I know. I felt black-listed in LA and needed a real change in my life and fresh surroundings… I lived in a hotel room for a few days until I met Ozzie and soon after, we found this home for ourselves. I was reading the paper that morning and saw these ads for remodeled low-cost housing on the edge of Harlem and I figured that I could afford it so I called and made arrangements to come and see one.
I was on my way there when I stopped to look at my phone calendar to make sure of the time for my interview at the gallery where I had applied for a job at. I had just placed my cell in my bag and in the next instance I was flying through the air and my bag was being ripped out of my arms.
Everything that was important to me for my survival was in there. I collapsed onto the sidewalk and lost it emotionally. In that moment it felt that everything that had gone wrong in my life over the past year came pouring out of me like a river.
Ozzie shared with me later that he had watched Travis, the neighborhood hoodlum take my bag and he knew that he couldn’t let him get away with it so he picked up a melon and rolled it his way and knocked him over as he tripped on it running away. My bag went flying once again only this time Ozzie caught it and then hid away from Travis. When it was clear, he came out of hiding and soon after found me sobbing on the sidewalk.

Yayy 1rst!!! thanks for the update……pps
Great update. Now that Bette has all these people in her life she wants to play coy or whatever with Tina being back in her life. She is the one that wished Tina could have been there to share the opening with her and to meet her mother. She wished for Tina and now she is not sure. She wanted her to be with her and as long as it is under her control she will decide when to tell Tina. Well hell, Tina has a computer too and has the informatiion that she was seeking. Well, anyway I won’t go any further with that. Bette pisses me off sometime. Like now. Hope I’m not jumping to conclusions.
Dainty, Dainty, Dainty… LOL!
Ozzie is so cute. Hope Bette continue to heal as well as Tina
Great update Sue.Good to see Bette and Kit getting on so well.Look forward to the little man sorting Melvin out.Bette meeting Tina again will be interesting.Can’t wait.PPS
Bette, Bette…sometimes you break my heart.
If i was in bette place and i knew tina was having our baby there would b nothing n the world to keep me away even if we were seperated. Its not fair to the baby. I dont understand why bette is wantn kit to take care of her child. That’s Bettes job she the other mother.
bumsue I really like how Bette, Kit and Ozzie connected. I also liked that Kit respected Bette’s wishes to give her time to digest everything. I can relate to Bette’s reaction to the news that Tina is pregnant, especially given the fact that Tina knew she was pregnant all the time that Bette was begging her for forgiveness. If she had cared about Bette being the baby’s other mother she might have made more of an effort to at least talk to Bette even if she couldn’t forgive her at the time. I may need to go back and re-read the previous chapters but I don’t recall Tina ever mentioning the baby in relation to Bette. I only recall the most of her inner thoughts were about getting Bette back, not forming a family with her, but I could be wrong. Thanks for a wonderful story and for Ozzie. Looking forward to when Melvin meets this little charmer.
I’m a little surprised Bette still wants to go and see Melvin in light of what Maxine has revealed… Thanks for posting.
I’m not sure how I feel about Bette’s reaction to Tina. At one point, she was wishing for her and now she’s hiding for a bit. Hope she decides to see Tina. PPS
Okay, Bette’s behavior is confusing me. Bette has taken Ozzie into her life and is loving him like crazy but she questions how she can love a child she has had no physical part in creating with Tina? How is that possible? Waiting on your continuing explanations.
Ladies, I appreciate your support and love you all but please take a breath. Maybe take another one! This story’s timeline isn’t that long so some things take some time to happen. Think of what Bette has been through in the past few days. It’s been a whirlwind for her. I promise that I am listening but this journey is for them to take their way this time. Please, be patient and allow them to do what they need to do right this time. Breathe!
great.. canr wait for Tina to find Bette .. missing the days that you posted 3 chapters in one day… keep them coming and thanks for this great story
Excellent update thank you
I love it take me where you will :)
I agree with Dainty, teegirl, and virginiagirl.If you marry someone, you should share the good times and the bad times. I can accept that Bette needs to heal, for she has been hurt as has Tina. But given the information about Tinas past, being abused by her own sister, her depression comming from that and the postnatal depression, Bette has responsibilities. At least in my opinion. You allways speak of Bette who has become a better person now. I think I dont like this improved Bette.
Bette’s reaction to Tina being pregnant was quite a shock for me. Yes, it was honest but I feel that with all the wonderful years that she and Tina had shared, her knowing Tina’s pregnant with correct me if I’m wrong, the sperm that they had both agreed to use in building their family I expected for her to show some interests towards the baby but that’s not the case. Maybe Bette said that because she was too overwhelmed by everything that’s happening to her life right now but I think that reaction was somehow a form of rejection towards Tina’s baby. I’m guessing Bette wouldn’t be there when Tina gives birth but I’m still hoping that Bette would still recognize the baby as hers eventually. I’m not all for Tina here, she did screw up and if she really wanted to be in Bette’s life again she has to make it up to Bette big time. Thanks for the awesome post and I can hardly wait to see how things will go for all of them. Cheers!
Thank you for the update.Really interesting story.PPS
