"You’re both here?" Angie asked, approaching them in the stands at half time of her soccer match. She directed her next question to Bette. "I thought we were coming over after the game?"
"We’re all going out for dinner," Bette answered. "And I wanted to see your game; you hardly ever play on Thursdays when you’re spending your weeks with me."
"Well…I’m glad you’re both here," Angie said. She turned and made her way back to her team’s bench, running as she retreated. "I’ve gotta get some water."
"Hi Tina," a slightly built auburn haired woman had taken the seat beside Tina on the otherwise empty bench as Angie was talking to them. "I saw you here, so I thought I’d say hello. I was over watching Jackson’s game."
Another field featuring the boys’ game backed on to where Angie was playing. The parents all shared the same sideline as they looked in opposite directions depending on which game they were attending.
"Hi Sherry," Tina said in greeting, offering her usual genuine smile. She leaned back as she continued to speak. "Have you met Angie’s other Mom?"
Sherry and Bette greeted each other as introductions were made.
"There are lots of parents I don’t see as often since they separated the boys and girls for all the sports," Tina commented.
"Jackson misses playing with Angie," Sherry said. "He’s having a tough time with all the changes this year."
"Angie mentioned Jackson was talking about going to visit his Dad in Chicago," Tina said. "That’s tough on a kid."
"Especially so far away," Sherry confirmed. She looked towards where Angie was seated with her team. "I have to say, you two have done an amazing job with her. She’s such a kind and thoughtful child."
"Thanks," Tina replied, somewhat surprised at the overt praise. "She’s pretty fun for us to be around too."
"There are many married couples who aspire to having things as organized as you two manage," she went on. "Maybe it’s the way women nurture."
"She’s the priority for both of us," Bette said, unconsciously placing her hand between Tina’s shoulder blades as she spoke. "That plays a role in how we approach everything."

Slow and steady wins the race, right? I like the pace of the story and will miss it when it ends.
I love this story and your writing, I wish it would go on forever!
this story is touching me on a personal level, i just wish that life was just like your fiction LOL waiting for more :)
You have been away far too long to even hint at this story ending! I have found myself reminded of how engaging I always find your character dialogue. Thank you so much for taking the time to return.
It’s probably best they not forget their rekindled friendship in what they’re trying to explore. I like how the story’s going and I’ve been enjoying reading it. Take your time, we only just got you back! Thanks for posting, jks. :)
Don’t end it to soon. I have been enjoying your writting so much. This is a great story. I hope you have another story in the works.
I love this story and the pace. Please don’t end it too soon and if you feel you must, then I hope you’ll bring us another story to follow this one. Glad you’re back and enjoy reading your stories. :)
I like this story! The details make me feel like I am watching a movie. This back and forth which obviously comes from fear is something that happens a lot in relationships and I can’t wait to find out how Bette and Tina will deal with it and how/if they will manage to make something good out of it.
Please take your time,no need to end this great story.Please don`t leave the site again,I`m so glad you are back.
They are making progress
Great update. I love the dialogue between the two and Angie throwing her two cents in on top of it. That was a nice flow to the story. Its great that they are working on their friendship as I see that the possibility of more exits. Great writing!
You take the time you feel is necessary to tell your story. I love the slow and in depth look you take at the progression of their relationship. I am so glad that you didn’t have the 2 of them just jump into bed right away without solving any of their issues. Thanks for the post!
Read all your updates on this story. Love it. Thank you
Ditto to all the comments above me. I love this story and hope it will not end any time soon. The way you write the story feels real and they are doing what is necessary to rekindle their friendship and their love for a new relationship and family all together in one house. Angie’s comment was priceless, she is just too cute. Thanks for coming back to us and posting this wonderful story. Please stay with us and continue to write.
left something out. What’s not to like, I don’t understand that at all. This is one of the best stories on this site. It’s not hurried, they are taking things slowly to reconnect with each other and rekindle their love without everyone else’s inteference, they are coparenting their child with much success. They are doing so well with rearing her that she wants them to “not gang up on her all the time.” lol. Typical child. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this story on some level. It’s wonderful. Keep writing, we’ll stay with you. Besides you have and have had well over a thousand views since the story started. That, to me, says that there are more enjoying the story than not. However, we respect your right not to continue if you can’t for whatever reason. But we sure hope you will stay with us. Thanks.
Thanks JKS for the update … Great conversations, sound so lively and real! :-) … PPVS?! :-) … Uhm… Excuse me… End?! I hope the end of the story is feasible through some long chapters in between this one to the finale as frankly I feel the story is just begin … A good thought will be: great!! that means you have wrote the stories … which means we can have more often update and longer chapter?! ✌😁 hehehe…
