A Choice is Made Chapter 9
Tina: Oh god, I was just saying yesterday that I have two shoe girls on my hands.
Bette: Let’s stop by the World of Disney to see how she reacts to the characters. Hopefully, she’ll like the stuff since we are planning a birthday celebration for her there. I also want to check out the gallery in the store, lots of people collect Disney art.
Tina: Are giving our baby a Disney test?
Bette: Well, it is more of a test for us. Suppose she’s deathly afraid of the characters?
Tina: Yes, the screaming baby ordeal. That hadn’t even crossed my mind. Can you imagine that as a first birthday, wow!
Bette: Well, maybe we can get an idea of which character or design for her cake. That will be another thing decided for the trip. Then you’ll know what to order.
Tina: Yea, good thinking.
Bette: Saturday we can head down to the South Street seaport area. If we make it down there before 10am we can catch the Kids Cruise on the Clipper City tall ship. We’ll catch another glimpse of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. We’ll be about ready for lunch by the time that is over. We can check out the museum after lunch. Of course there is more shopping and often there are street performers.
Tina: Oh that sounds like a great day. We’ve really been lucky with the weather this week too.
Bette: Well, you are here during tax free week so it’s been a great time to shop in the city too.
Tina: Bette, this has been an amazing week, thank you.
Bette: It’s not over yet.
Tina: Yea, but it has already been amazing.
Bette: Let me get the check. Boo is already asleep.
Tina: You can get the check, but dinner is on me tonight. You took care of lunch and the diner, no arguing.
Bette: No problem, thanks for dinner. Dessert is on me. That’s the real reason we’re taking the long way home.
Our girls laugh and head home the long way with an ice cream detour along the way. Now they are home and ready for bed.
Tina: I know you were up early today, how tired are you?
Bette: I’m OK, what’s up?
Tina: Well, I was thinking of putting in a movie, care to join me?
Bette: Sure, I’m playing hooky tomorrow. Should I make popcorn?
Tina: You know me too well. Any requests for a movie?
Bette: Nah, you can select something.
Bette returns with the bowl of popcorn and drinks.
Tina: I’m thinking comedy tonight.
Bette: OK, laughing is always good. What are we watching?
Tina: Hitch. It’s kind of a romantic comedy, but I just love Kevin James in this one.
Bette: Cool, that’s a good one, let me put it in. The new sound system, will give us the movie theater sound. There is some good music in that movie, though they do murder a Stevie Wonder song in it.
Tina: I’ll double check that the bedroom door is closed and we may need to turn up the monitor volume.
Our girls settle onto the sofa. Bette sits up with her legs stretched out onto the coffee table.
Tina: Can I lay my feet in your lap?
Bette: Sure, you just took a shower, why not.
Tina hits Bette with a pillow and the girls laugh. Eventually, Bette caresses Tina’s feet and legs; old habits die hard. Surprisingly, Bette stays awake for the entire movie.
Tina: I still love that movie. We’ll have to do Ellis island on another trip, but not by jet ski.
Bette: Yea, that one is a lot of fun, thanks for the picking it. Well now I’m officially beat how about you?
Tina: Yea, I’m ready for bed too. I’ll clean up in here then turn in.
Bette: Thanks T, night. Bette and Tina hug and Bette heads to her room.
Tina: Thanks for the date night Bette. Better turns and gives Tina a sweet smile.

Date night? Presumptuous much, T? Your writing is really great, but your Tina upsets me. After how long she made Bette beg after Candace, it seems like she’s expecting to have Bette just give her a chance so easily, when she was so much more hurtful towards her. I hope they make it, but only for Bette and Angie’s sakes, not for Tina, who doesn’t deserve such a great partner
I’m with jikes. It seems Tina is thinking Bette will cave and things can go back to the way she (Tina) wants it. Hope Bette hangs tough and helps Tina realize that the degree of pain she put Bette through can’t be undone by a smile and a “sorry”. Thanks for posting tonight – such an unexpected treat! PPS.
Will be interesting to see what happens from here…. thanks for writing it!
Well, I liked the fact that they are talking honestly and civily. There is nothing to be gained by two people who still love each other artificially holding up barriers. Each of them “earn” there way back to each other by being honest with themselves and honest with each other and create new rules between them to move forward. You are telling your story very well Lwsho…I am really enjoying it.
Great story. At least they are both open to the possibilty of working thing out. An as in real life it’s good to be careful to work through issues that have been allowed to destroy a realtionship. It’s good to see that being played out in this story. A day at a time.
at least they are talking. Tina really hurt Bette, especiay when she had Josh in their house that was meant. But their need each other. just love yur story. PPVS
love this.. and baby steps is good… i know they are going to make it.. pps
That was great and can’t wait to see more !
The road back is bumpy and eraught with potholes and turns; B needs T and vice versa.
Another great update – thank you :) Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story :)
I hope the open communication continues and things stay positive. Please post very soon!
I’m glad they’re starting to talk about what happened. It feels like Tina is talking the brunt of their breakup. It takes problems with both partners for things to get as bad as they did and I don’t think we’re seeing Bette’s role. I guess the fact that Bette up and left without communicating her thoughts and intentions with Tina is an indication of how withdrawn she was from the relationship which I think Tina sensed. She is being portrayed as having only good intentions by making her move but I think she had some selfish/revenge type motivations as well. Maybe through their continued discussions and their therapy sessions some of these things will come to light and she’ll start taking some of the responsibility for the demise of their relationship. Then they can really move forward in healing.
Amazing Chapter!!! B&T talking is always good. I am a frim beleaver that it takes two to kill a marriage and two to fix it. I hope that B&T make in your story and Tina will move to N.Y., but she needs to give it time and alot off it. Thanks PPVS
