“I was just going to get a cup of coffee, would you like to join me or do you have to go back to the office?”
“I think I can spare a few minutes to have a cup of coffee with my daughter.”
Bette smiled she placed her hands in her pants pockets and made her way towards the cafeteria, after getting their coffee Melvin motioned to a small table where they had a seat, they sat in silence for a while.
“So, how’s the Gallery doing”
Bette smiled again.
“It’s doing very well we are very busy at the moment, the opening was a huge success”
“Who’s there now making sure things run smoothly while you’re here with Ms. Kennard?” Melvin asked
Bette took a deep breath, and thought to herself ‘here we go’
“Daddy Melissa, is there she is very capable of running things while I’m here taking care of Tina and the baby” Bette said defensively
“Good, because you need to be here taking care of your family” Melvin said taking a drink of his coffee
Bette sat back and looked at her father, not sure of what to say.
“Don’t look at me that way young lady, I see the way you look at Ms. Kennard I know how much you care for her, and I know if you were at the Gallery your thoughts would be here with her, that would not be productive or helpful to anyone”
“Thanks daddy”
“Elizabeth, I know I have not been a very good father to you or Katherine I’m a stubborn man with very old fashioned beliefs, I like to be in control and feel hopeless when I’m not, I can’t say I will ever agree with the life style you choose to live, the only thing I can be is content that you are happy in your relationship with Ms. Kennard, I see she makes you very happy and you love her a great deal, and it is very obvious to everyone around the two of you she loves you very much as well. As a parent all one can ask for is the happiness of his children and I see you have found that. Don’t let your ambition come in between you and your family; don’t make the same mistakes I made.”
Bette smiled a sense of relief and calmness washed over her; she looked at her father and knew he was being sincere.
“Thank you for saying that” Bette said as she reached over and placed her hand in her fathers she smiled when he gave it a gentle squeeze.
“Now go be with your partner, you don’t want her to wake and not find you there.”
Bette got up.
“Daddy can you do me a favor?”
“If I can”
“Can you pleeeeeaase stop calling her Ms. Kennard and call her Tina?”
Melvin smiled.
“Thanks for stopping by daddy” Bette smiled back
“Let Ms…. TINA, know I hope she feels better” Melvin said as Bette walked away.
“I will” Bette said as she walked away.

Hi iluvmuzic, That was truly wonderful. Kit kicked Melvin’s ass into touch as he finally got that Bette adores Tina and will do anything to protect her lover and baby.This fright made Bette woman-up and set her priorities to looking after Tina and their unborn child. These two are the most precious things in her universe and deserve and need her full attention. It was good to have Tina accept Bette’s initial apology however they do need to talk things through and sort out their relationship and impending parenthood.Finally Bette’s caht with her father proved that an old dog can change when the risk of using what you love is high. Bette is his pride and joy so hopefully her family can now join her in his heart. Okay the child will now be genetical related to him but in this modern world it is caring and being there for a child that makes you a parent or grandparent.Bette will be there from now on so biology only matters during conception. After birth is when you become a parent. I want Bette to prove her love and support by her constancy in Tina’s life right now.WHo earns what only muddies the situation. Being happy and content is priceless.Thank you so much for a chapter where Bette stands up to her father and gets him to call Tina by her first name. Brava!Your Loyal Fan.
That was a pretty big turn around for Melvin. Acceptance from your parents is a wonderful thing. Mine never knew what I was feeling. And I didn’t care to share it with them.
Glad Melvin had a change of heart and Bette really needed to hear that from him. Kit was right in getting to him and letting him know how they both felt. Now if Bette will just remember that and continue to do the right thing then everything will be alright. Hopefully Tina won’t leave her and will give her another chance. They both and the baby deserves another chance and to be loved by Bette is really an experience when she gives it her all. Thanks for posting.
That was just so very good. I’m glad that Melvin came around. Now Bette and Tina need to talk. Thank you for this wonderful wonderful story.
Did hell just freeze over? If it did, I want in! Go Melvin!
For once Melvin has put his own daughter’s happiness before his stubborn pride. Hope that Tina gets her strength back soon.
Finally Melvin got it.Thank you for another great chapter.
That is great. Bette needs to understand that Tina loved HER not what she’s got. Yes she needs to work for her own satisfaction but as her father said, she better not let work comes between her and her family. Somebody can replace her as an art icoon but nothing or nobody could replace her for her family. Great post, really enjoyed it. PPVS
