    Author Notes:

    Is blood thicker than water? A Bette and Tina beginning….

    As quickly as her smile had appeared, it faded. She followed the pointing finger in her mind, and turned her thoughts to her home in America…and to Bette, who was already in the air speeding towards the West. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked away from the statue, desperately trying to get back the beautiful and happy memory she was just sharing with her grandmother…and for the first time in years, as she thought of the breathtaking love she and Bette shared, Tina questioned whether fulfilling the deathbed promise she had made as a child, was worth the devastating price she was now paying.

    She looked down at the antique gold ring that had been placed on the ring finger of her right hand, and twirled it absently as she remembered the day it was handed down to her……..

     

    Flashback…16 years earlier, just two weeks before Tina’s 14th birthday.

    Tina tentatively opened the door to her grandmother’s bedroom. She heard the door creak in protest as she peered inside.

    “Come here, neta,” her grandmother whispered, holding out her tender, but gnarled hand. “Come, sit next to me. I have something I want to give you.”

    “Avia, you shouldn’t be talking. You need your rest.” Tina said, walking hesitantly toward her grandmother, her eyes filling with tears at the frailty she saw in this once strong woman.

    The old woman waved off Tina’s concern. “I will not be with this world for much longer child, and I will have plenty of time to rest when I am back with my family again. For now,” she patted the mattress beside her. “I have things that need to be said, my beautiful darling Tina.”

    Tina moved quickly to her beloved grandmothers side, taking a seat beside her, lightly running her hands along the edge of the simply woven quilt that laid across the dying woman’s legs.

    “My child, you remember all the stories I have told you about our family?”

    Tina lightly nodded her head, and let out a small laugh. “Of course I do, avia. How could I forget, you have been telling me those stories for as long as I can remember.”

    The frail woman returned Tina’s smile, each one so similar, that despite their differences in coloring, you couldn’t fail to see that they were related.

    1. oh gawd. family, honor and traditions. this should be so good. but where the hell is bette going. tina is losing her soul by anothers desires. hmmmm. very interesting. can see the pictures in my head girls. so wonderful at describing and leaving imprints im my head. thanks.

    2. wow what great visuals.I love this story. i was just in Austria and saw swveral living statues. They were just as u described. i hope tina realizes that bette is what she wants and grandma will understand. post soon.

    4. Wow, just catching up, as usual. Great start, ladies! Although you did have me, in the first chapter. As soon as I saw Helena, I was already backing away from my computer. I mean, I love you two, but I can’t do Tina/Helena or Bette/Candace. I just can’t, sorry. But, luckily, my faith in your writings told me to endure, at least to the end of the chapter. And, just a glimpse of her name, I was able to compose myself, and settle into this incredible ride, which I know I’m in for. Thanks for sacrificing to do this. Believe me you’re more appreciated then you’ll ever know. Post soon, please.

    6. I liked this chapter, although I have to admit that I am confused a bit. I thought Tina was flying back to Palm Springs in the last chapter to end things with Helena. Now she’s back in Spain and Bette is leaving?

      Familial traditions and deathbed promises…all the makings of angst for Tina. I hope when all is said and done she will find a way to fulfill her grandmother’s promise with compromise.

    8. What beauty….what style…what discription. I look forward to the rest. You both are great writers and sea you know how i feel about you. Kepp it up…you are wonderful writers……

    9. I think this is a wonderful beginning to what can only be an amazing story. I must also say that I have been reading fanfic for almost a year and this is the first story that has compelled me to leave a comment. Again amazing start ladies and keep up the good work.

    10. As I said to you in NY I am liking this story Sea.It was nice meeting you. I amazed to hear that you had started reading my story.I hope that you can find the time to ready it and let me know what you think.

    11. Well this is taking off to a very different start! I like it Keep up the good work you two! Also We have A part Spanish Tina in this fic and a Bette who isn’t noticeably biracial in another. wowzers! Cant wait to see how this will go!

    12. WOW!!! Ladies great story!! Looking forward to more chapters SOON!!!!! Like maybe tomorrow… hint, hint … what do you think? Any chance?

      THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

    14. I love anything you both write. Thanks for this story. Tina has to live for herself not for a promise made when she 14. I’m sure her grandmother only wanted Tina to be happy and thought she’d find that happiness in Spain (Bette)

    15. Tina a Pujol i Pujol? No doubt she comes from a line of prouds catalans. Which year the present time part of the story is suppose to be happening? The reference to the old spanish currency confuses me. Anyway, have you thought about they getting married in Barcelona? That would be more than funny, that would be legal.
