“I want to stay with you Mama.”
Bette struggled to sit up. Once upright she felt the dizziness and nausea hit her. She pushed past it. She had to take care of her daughter.
“Tina, can you call Fran and Gina and ask them to bring the kids over to your house for an early evening pool party if you don’t mind?”
Tina wanted to object but she saw what Bette was trying to do. They all needed to work through this together.
“Ask the gang, even Helena, to come too.” Bette mustered a smile.
“We can call for pizza to go with what was left from the picnic.” Bette mused aloud.
At first Angelica was quiet but hearing her Moms make calls and put things together she became more relaxed; next thing she chimed in on her mom’s call to Alice. “We need soda too EM, lots of it”.
Eventually the entire party minus Kay descended on Tina and Angelica’s house. The kids including the aloof teens quickly leapt into the pool. Pretty soon with all the splashing and playing laughter took over. Bette did her best to reassure everyone that she was ok. Only Tina could tell how much the charade was costing the brunette. Placing her hand on her shoulder she gently spoke: “Bette, please lie down in my room. I’ll make excuses for you.”
Bette acquiesced. She couldn’t keep this up much longer.
Rather than alarm everyone Tina quietly asked Alice to assist her. Alice when charged with protecting Bette was surprisingly effective. She became Tina’s wing woman helping Bette to slip unobserved into Tina’s bedroom. Once Bette was comfortably settled no one would get past Alice, not even Angelica. “She’s resting” Alice declared arms folded as she barred the worried Angelica from entering into her mom’s room. “She needs to sleep Boo”. Seeing as it was her Aunt Alice on the case Angie scurried away knowing her Mama was safe and resting. Even she knew better than to challenge her EM when her mind was made up.
Denise was distraught about Ms. Bette feeling poorly and accepted Tina’s invitation to come into the house when they arrived. She owed it to Ms. Rosanna to make sure her wife and baby were ok.
After a while Alice did allow Fran in to check Bette just to make sure that she was still ok.
Little by little, they processed in small groups the afternoon and Tina saw the wisdom of Bette’s insistence that they all come together to take the sting out.
After resting for a couple of hours Bette rejoined the party while managing to be her gracious self and laughing off her earlier “tiredness”.
Soon Theresa maneuvered to get a moment alone with Bette.
“I’m glad that she knew happiness again.”
“Are you?” Bette challenged.
“Yes, she was a special woman and I wish I had the courage to love her fully the way you did. Thank you.”
Bette seeing she was serious inclined her head as much to say “Thanks”.
The radar must have gone off because they were soon joined by Shane, Paige, Alice and Tasha. During their time together Helena and Fran became fast friends while the water babies Gina and Leigh compared surfing notes. Meanwhile a concerned Tina just kept her eyes on Bette.

Oh first again, don’t believe it. What a story this is. Will someone please tell these ladies and Bette that she will be OK with Tina in her life now. Tina will take care of her and the children just as she was meant to do before Rosanna. They have both grown beyond all the hurt and pain they caused each other. Please just let them love one another again. I think that will happen when the baby is born. At least I hope so. PPS.
Kelika, however you plan to carry us to the end will be just fine. We will be with you all the way, long or short. My mantra is always Bette and Tina together. Thanks for such a lovely story.
I’ll be here for the ride K…however you choose to do it. I love your writing.
I am along for the ride, because that it has been and a great one. However, it may come let it come.
Kay is a bitter witch. How dare she blame Bette for Ro’s death. She never stood a chance with Ro and she needs to accept that. I don’t care how much see misses Ro, that was down right rude and someone should have slapped her. I don’t think Tina is through with her yet. Tell Kit, she kick Kay’s *ss. It was nice to see that you did have someone follow Bette and glad the posse came to support Bette. Good to see more of Denise and to know that at least Theresa knows respect and knew that Ro was loved by Bette. Can we get another post soon, please.
Kay went well beyond the pale there. Just completely uncalled for, and inherently untrue. Very glad Shane had the good sense to follow Bette and call the posse. And if Kit would’ve been there… Actually, Kit probably wouldn’t have been needed, since Tina was ready to totally throw down for her woman. Anyway, great chapter, but I sense the happy event is nearing due to the added stress. Damn Kay and her self-serving, thoughtless mouth. Post soon, but at the same time, I don’t want this ending… dilemmas, dilemmas. Yeah, post soon. Greed and great writing win out! Thanks, kelika.
wow that was extremely sad, and just crazy. I’m glad she has friends/family like the gang because i could never see myself getting through that….pps
This is such a wonderful story that I don’t want it to end. At least not soon. After the baby is born, Tina can help Bette. They should live together and support one another. They love each other and I don’t believe the same problems would crop up again. They realize what they lost during their separation. It won’t happen again. This time I believe Tina has grown so much and has forgiven Bette. They are different people. Much more mature and Angie loves them both so much. Your writing is beautiful. You tell the story so well. I am loving this story. PPS.
Angelica is truly her mothers’ child. She has a quick temper and even quicker to defend the people she loves. We often forget that kids feel so much more than what they show us. Glad to see the posse was there to make sure Bette was alright. Thanks for the post.
WOW!! So much drama in this chapter. Bette didn’t get to show Tina whatever it was she was going to. I hate to see this end. I love your writing.
K that was such a wonderful story, it had heartbreak,love,tenderness,protection,and FREINDSHIP AND LOYALTY!!
someone needs to kick Kay’s ass. Great chapter give us another soon.
Kelika, That was a great chapter. I just hope when you end this that B&T will be together with there children and the love the still have for each other. Thank you. PPVS
That was awesome, poor Bette!
Oh, Kay, Tina is so not through with you. Lesbians from the North, too funny, wouldn’t you just love to se that group coming your way. Angie is truly a combination of the best of both of her Mother’s. The gang will always be there to take care of each other, but Tina has always been and always will be the one that keeps Bette together. Hopefully when Bette’s feeling better she’ll be able to show Tina what she had planned to.
YES YES YES it worked for you!!!! Lol…I was holding my breath u know. Just got home from a big day out so its taken this long to check it out…whew!!!!! As for how long u make the story that’s really your call cuz only you know what it is you want to explore;altho as I said in my email…I wanna know where Bette had intended to take Tina???? Tina is being so patient but its hard for me, lmao.
Really enjoying this story of course i’m always a sucker for Tibette tales, looking forward to more.
You are prolific my friend. I’m away from the site for a couple of days and there are like 1,000 chappies waiting! I love it! LOL. Loved “Lesbians descending from the north.” Hilarious!! On to read the rest…
