Mary: Bette, Margarette and I will clean up the kitchen. Daniel, is there something you need to do tonight?
Daniel: I was planning on just packing my backpack and reviewing my to do list and calendar to plan my week. I think I’m good with my school work. I might want to review those two books we have been assigned in literature. I think that I would like to go to bed early tonight.
Tina: I need to review our calendar and plans for December. I also need to make sure all the household bills have been paid. I think that I would like to go to bed early tonight as well. I want to get to the studio early and see what I can do to finish up some pieces that I am working on. My time is now limited on what I can accomplish between now and the holidays.
Margaret: We have a little more than 2 weeks before the Christmas holidays. But tomorrow I’ll be home about 3:30. Tina, why don’t Mary and I prepare dinner for the family this week? Will that give you the time you need to work on the pieces you need to work on?
Tina: Yes, that will help particularly this week. If you don’t have what you need in the way of food, just order it and have it delivered and charge it to our account. I’ll take care of the cooking for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Mary: Well, we are going to start our Christmas shopping by Friday. Depending on what the decorating schedule is, we may be doing some shopping over the weekend.
Bette: We will formulate a plan by Tuesday so that everyone can plan their life accordingly.
Tina: We probably should have a family meeting about our social schedule for December and the first week in January. That way we will all be on the same page.
Bette: That’s a good idea. Let’s do that after dinner on Tuesday.
Margaret: Yes, we need to know who is available when.
Mary: Thank you for this lovely dinner. Margaret are you ready to get started on the kitchen?
Bette: People, I am going ahead and say goodnight and hope that you all have a pleasant night.
Tina: I believe that I am too. Daniel, remember that there will be a car to pick you and John David up tomorrow afternoon. They will then go pick up Joey and take them home. Any problems, call me on my cell. And don’t forget to put money on your school food account.
Tina and Bette went and hugged Daniel goodnight. They then hugged Mary and Margaret goodnight and then Bette went her desk in the study. Tina went to the private study upstairs.
After about two hours, Bette completed the grading of the term papers and posting the grades on the website. She went upstairs and found Tina reading in the bed. She smiled at Tina and proceeded on with her nightly grooming and then joined Tina in bed.
Tina then got a text from Angie: “Back in the dorm, Thanks for our dinner…wonderful week. Talk tomorrow. Axoxo”
Tina: Angie and Suzanne are in New Haven. We will talk tomorrow.
Bette: That’s good. God, I miss my Boo.
Tina: I do too. But she is exactly where she needs to be. And she’ll be home in a couple of weeks. Are you ready for me to turn out the lights?
Bette: Whenever you are sweetie. I just want to hold you for a while.
Tina: Yeah, I want to hold you too.
Tina put away her book and her glasses, turned out the light and turned over and gave Bette a kiss.
Tina: I love Bette. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday week.
Bette: It was nice wasn’t it. But most of that was because of you. I love you. Sleep well.

I’m enjoying this story soooo much…Thank you…Are you taking us to Yellowstone and Scotland with the family?
I have not written that yet…. but I am thinking about it. It may take a few months…
Thanks for reading and commenting. I enjoyed creating these characters and enriching Bette and Tina’s life with a little more dimension than the conflict and drama which the L Word and Gen Q presented. Life is really full of drama… but there is joy and times where you just want to enjoy your family and those you love. Maybe I have put forth a Bette and Tina who live a more idealistic life than real people. But I need some people in my life in which the universe blesses them with good fortune, success, companionship and love. And that makes me happy.
The next chapter is the final episode for this series. If I write more of this Bette & Tina and family, it will be a new series. I would like to… but I do not know if I have enough story in me to continue… but we will see. Thank you…
I sure hope you write another series. Your stories are quite enjoyable. I’d love to see what happens with Tina’s painting career.
Thank you… Tina’s painting career? I have a couple of thoughts about Tina’s painting career but they have not jelled yet. I am thinking that she might go into private commission work rather than producing for commercial purposes. Tina does not need the commercial success, but the personal satisfaction of producing something people love and want in their lives. I think she also wants to control her time and pressures to produce that comes with being in the art markets. My Tina has just begun to tap into her talent as an artist. But as in any profession, it can rob you of your personal life if you allow it to.
I do think that getting Tina a studio which was separate from their home was a meaningful decision made by Bette and Tina. It fills so many of Tina’s needs – time for privacy and to separate her professional life from her family life. And the fact that its only 10 minutes from home makes think very convenient. Personally, I feel this revamping of their life and moving back to Los Angeles has been one of the best decision this couple has ever made. I believe this puts them into a perfect glide path into retirement, being grandparents and whatever.
Thanks for reading…
I think I have gotten a bit spoiled by your longer chapters, but this one was lovely as well. I have a feeling that great minds think alike and Mary will come up with a scheme as well as Bette and Tina to help Suzanne get through school as comfortably as possible. Since they can see that she is not a moocher and wants to work for what she gets they don’t feel bad about secretly giving her a hand. Post as soon as you can.
Thanks for reading… I will probably post on Friday… You know, there are days in Bette and Tina’s life which are meaningful but just not as full of activities as others. I felt this was a day that the family would retreat into their individual rooms to regroup for the up coming week.
Suzanne will never know that her additional aid is coming from Bette & Tina. Neither will Angie. Suzanne will get the funds and have full discretion on what she does with the money. I think it is important to both Angie and Suzanne never to know where the money is from. That way, the source of the funds will never influence either of their decisions relating to their relationship with each other or their relationship with Bette & Tina. As to Mary? I have a little something instore for Mary in the next chapter.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
