“I’m thinking of hiring a housekeeper and a live in nanny, what do you all think?” Bette threw out. Since plans for the baby were on the table she decided they might as well continue the discussion.
“That’s not a bad idea” Kit nodded. “You’re not going to be able to manage everything alone once the baby gets here.”
“I think we should all interview the candidates.” Alice said warming to the idea.
“Absolutely” Shane chimed in. “The more people screening the better. Jenny and I interviewed roommates together and still we missed stuff when we let Mark move in. When are you planning to stop working Bette?”
“I was planning on working until delivery, most women do.” Bette answered a bit defensively.
“That’s fine.” Tina interjected. “As long as Dr. Meadows agrees.”
“Are you pulling rank already?” Bette returned.
“Saving that.” Tina smiled.
Bette scowled again.
It was all they could do not to burst out laughing. Tina was indeed the best choice of birthing partners. Bette was used to getting her own way and she usually did unless Tina stood in her way.
Five weeks after they had circled the wagons and made sure Bette was not alone Bette decided that she was ready to go back to work. She needed to fill her days again she had argued. Kit was most opposed. You have more money than God now. There is no need for you to go back to work. I need to work, to feel productive. Bette had argued just as vehemently. The sisters Porter were engaged in a dreadful standoff.
“You are just like Daddy.” The words flew out of Kit’s mouth.
Bette froze it was her greatest fear to be like their father. Bette often saw her greatest failure in life as her betrayal of her relationship with Tina. No matter how she tried to justify her actions it all came down to the same thing. Infidelity, unfaithfulness, none of what transpired after that event would have happened she thought if she had not broken that trust. She used to think that Tina had not forgiven her. It was years later that she was able to acknowledge that she had not ever forgiven herself.
Rosanna had helped her see that. It was Rosanna who had helped her to heal her wounded soul. Rosanna had shown her what love could be once again. Rosanna had accepted her totally. Rosanna knew that Tina would always hold an untouchable place in Bette’s heart. Rosanna taught her to live in the moment to seize the day. Rosanna accepted her in her brokenness and over time she felt whole again.
God she missed her brown-haired blue-eyed girl. She wanted nothing more than to lose herself in the love Rosanna offered unfailingly. Rosanna was gone.
Bette reverted to her old self and fled the house.
Tina stepped in.
“Kit your Dad was many things and his work sustained him and you all. Don’t take that part of his legacy from her. She has lost too much.”
Kit nodded then went in search of her sister.

I love this story, Kelika. The pacing of your narrative and the rebuilding of the relationship between Bette and Tina seem very believable and right. I particularly loved the way Angelica refused to leave Bette’s side during her darkest hour. That was a nice touch. Thank you so much.
Glad I made u smile…my all my fav writers are out this wet cold afternoon in NZ…I kinda like the pace u r going at but i guess it’s up to u sometimes they need to be longer or shorter…whatever…u r the best to judge becuz only u know where u r taking this…I like the wise Tina and the new relationship they r forging…wish I had more $ than god!!!! Lmao…Thanks this was great.
That was really well done. I had a hard time with the first part of this story (subject matter, not writing the writing is great) as Bette had moved on from Tina…but you just fixed all of that with this lovely chapter. Thank you for posting. I vote for longer chapters, even if not as often. Anticipation only kills us a little….but wasn’t there another story????PPS
Long posts, short posts…doesn’t really matter because even your shortest posts are so beautifully written and so full of emotion that the reader easily gets lost in your words. I’ll take whatever posts I can get!!
This is sweet and deep… Thanks, dear…
The last thing they need is another Mark, or worse, so it’s a good thing Shane and Jenny won’t be in charge of the interviewing process. I love Tina as the story’s voice of reason; it’s a role that suits her well. I prefer longer post, but either is fine.
Great chapter! I prefer shorter chapters if you can post a couple times a week, but do whatever is comfortable for you.
I was just smiling thinking this story was taking a lighter turn. Then Kit had to open her big mouth. I could have strangled her. K, you are doing a great job with this story. Put a mussle on Kit and let T&B get ready for the birthing process.
Kelika, the way you write is just so beautiful and full of love and hope. I thank you. Kit needs to watch what she says to Bette right now. That’s are girl Tina always watching out for Bette. Thanks PPS
This is sad due to the loss of Rosanna, but life isn’t always peaches and cream. Love how Tina still has the power over Bette, and that they both know it. I’m also enjoying the way your bringing them closer together, before they know what hit them I’m sure our tibette hearts will be satisfied. Gotta love the group noticing things that probably the other two are not.
Great story. I like longer chapters but how often would you post? If there would be infrequent postings then I like shorter chapters but more frequent postings. Quite the predicament!!
Hi K, Great to see that the team of Bette and Tina has been re-instated and now Tina gets more of a say. Bette was shocked at this turn up of the books but inwardly relieved that someone who knows her inner most thoughts and fears was around to keep her focussed and safe. LOve the reaction from the rest of the gang. Then an stupid argument between Bette and Kit, again needs Tina’s balance to get them to work though. Amazing and enticing. Many thanks for this awesome adventure. Your Loyal Fan. PS – Yes, am holding out for a BnT reunion.
*thud* great chappie, very intense, although too short!
Thats sad and poor Bette!
