“Mom, you’re here” Tina said surprised.
“Well of course what did you think? That I’ll miss this?”
“Hoped so.” Tina whispered.
“Katharine, it’s great to see you.” Bette smiled giving her a kiss on each cheek.
“Well I hope you’ll stick this one out Bette, hope my daughter isn’t too much, if she is you can send her back on the weekends.” Katharine smiled.
“No need.” Bette said putting her arm on Tina, “Your daughter is amazing.”
“Yes so amazing you needed a trip to Hawaii, don’t worry about it, god knows I needed a few of those with her around.”
Bette was ready to punch this woman. “Well, I’m sure those trips had more to do with your man of the week than Tina.” Bette gritted through her teeth.
“Elizabeth!” Melvin angrily said.
“What? Dad I’m not going to let her talk like that!”
“Good,” Katharine said, “Practice at making it seem like you care about her.”
“I do care about her.”
“God, I almost believe it! You’re good Bette, I’m starting to think this dinner is unnecessary.” Katharine said.
“Good, lets go.” Tina said.
“Can I get you some drinks?” The little girl asked.
“Is that… legal?” Bette asked out loud.
“Scotch, neat.” Tina answered. Bette looked at her but said nothing.
They sat down, Bette sat next to Tina, putting her arm around her, lightly squeezing her shoulder for support.
Tina smiled at her, drinking her scotch.
“Would you like some more Tina?” Melvin asked. Before Tina could answer Bette jumped in, “I’m hungry, is anyone hungry? I think we should eat.”
“Elizabeth, that’s rude.”
“Dad, I can hear Tina’s stomach rambling.”
Tina looked at her questionably.
“Well if that’s the case lets go. I don’t want to starve to poor thing.” Melvin said.
They sat at the table. “So, your welcome party will be next week, Friday. Bette, if you pull this off, I’ll buy you that gallery you’ve always dreamed of.”
“I don’t want you to. I told you when I’ll have enough money I’ll do it.” Bette gritted.

Wow Katharine could drive anyone to drink! I can’t believe Bette didn’t kill her. This just gets more interesting.
Hey Geek, great update. I’m pleased that Bette stood up for Tina. I hope Tina sees that she can trust Bette.
I hope that Tina really starts to see what love truly is and how Bette loves her after this “dinner”. Katherine picked a fight with the wrong person because Bette will always win when it comes to Tina. I was thrilled to see Melvin’s response to the situation.
Geek you rock!!!! I think Bette could have taken Katherine anytime and anywhere. I’m glad she stood up to her for Tina. I bet T doesn’t have any doubt about Bette’s love and loyalty to her anymore??? Love it, by far my favorite chapter. I can go to sleep now ;)
go Melvin!!! god tina’s mam is such a bitch, i understand why tina is like that, so close. i love protective bette!!!!!!! great post ad 8 pagers!! ho it past so fast…try longer like 13 :) just joking
how can melvin see katharine as a lovely person? is he pussy whipped? Glad Bette gave her mother-in-law the facts of life. Mothers good and bad can so destroy their kids with their expectations. Good story. pps.
Great chapter…had tears forming in my eyes when Melvin said he is proud of Bette. I know how it is to get no acceptance and affection from your parents. I think that Bette can understand Tina in more than one way. But Tinas relationship to her mother is even worse than Bettes to her father. Great that Bette kicked ‘Mothers’ ass!! Love this story…so post soon please…
excellent chapter. as usual, great mix of comedy and drama (with a touch of hotness too!) Bette was great at dinner. glad Tina didn’t rise to the bait. and yay for melvin! looking forward to more geek.
Good for Bette! So glad she stood up for Tina. PPS
This chapter simply had all the GOOD stuff…raw emotion between Bette and Kat, Melvin being proud of Bette, and Tina recognizing that she wants her life to be better. I can’t wait for more! Hope you are able to post again this weekend!
While who would have thought that out of the two parents Melvin is less of an asshole. We can see why Tina does some of the things thats she do. Wow can’t wait for her reaction/response to Bette defending and protecting her.
Wow Tina better know how much Bette cares for her after that! PPS
Tina’s mother makes Melvin look like Parent of the Year. She’s such a cold bitch, it explains a great deal about why Tina acts out the way she does. This was a great chapter, GITP. Bette and Melvin did good. Tina is trying to turn over a new leaf, never easy but always possible with love and determination. Thank you for writing!
what a powerful chapter. bette standing for tina, and looking out for tina by not letting her have another drink! volunteering will be so good for tina. i’m glad that melvin told bette he was proud of her, that maybe the changing point in their relationship! awesome :)PPS
Iiiiiiiiiiha, go cowboy! I even felt some empathy for Melvin now (that was reaaally nice! cold people really have feelings despite everything, it’s just very well hidden). Nothing in this chapter, well, in the entire story, was as good as this end. Let me just say something… how much of Gilmore Girls have you been watching? Amazing chapter really, just keep it going.
Wow – very powerful. I’m so proud of Bette and I almost like Melvin now. I can’t wait for the next chapter. Maybe Tina will give Bette another kiss for standing up for her. Now we just need Tina to stand up to her mother…
Tina should know by now that Bette loves her. Bette showed Her ClassyLady self. Most people would have hit back. Tina is lucky to have Bette, Bette does care
Hahahaha…I never thought I’d say this, but Props to Melvin! Well Bette certainly put Katherine in her place about Tina and I’m glad Tina overheard everything. Now let’s see what happens between B & T. Great update Geek!
damn bette are awesome
