All This, and Christmas, Too
Tina shrugged. “I guess I wanted to give you and Angie one last special Christmas. Next month I’ll be making less than half of what I do now.”
“But we still have our savings,” Bette said consolingly. “We can get by.”
Tina shook her head. “Emergencies only, remember? That money is for Angie’s college tuition. I wouldn’t feel right about touching it, and neither would you.”
Bette nodded. She had been trying to make Tina feel better, but as far as she was concerned that money belonged to Angelica, not for them to do with as they wished.
“We have a couple films coming out next year that should go a ways toward restoring my tattered reputation,” Tina was saying. “If we’re lucky, then one of them will hit and my salary will go up again.”
“It will,” Bette pronounced. She gave Tina a cheer up kiss. “I have complete faith in you.”
“Yeah, well at least someone does.” Tina gently placed the bracelet back into the box and set it on the coffee table. “I feel like a failure. I really liked being able to provide this life for you and Angie.”
“T, the parts of this life we have together that matter have nothing to do with money. You know that.”
“Yeah,” Tina said, leaning her head on Bette’s shoulder, “I guess I do.”
The clock on the mantel chimed once for the top of the hour. It was midnight.
“It’s Christmas,” Bette whispered.
“I didn’t ruin it, did I? By telling you about my job?”
“Of course not. Don’t be silly.”
“I don’t think I better keep the bracelet.”
“You will, though,” Bette said confidently.
“Well… It is beautiful.”
“And so are you.”
Tina giggled. “I set that one up nicely for you.” Bette snickered and they both stilled. Tina lifted her head off of Bette’s shoulder and looked into her eyes.
“We’re going to be alright, aren’t we?”
Bette pulled Tina into her arms and held her close. “We’re going to be fine.”
“I love you,” Tina whispered.
Bette cradled Tina’s face in her hand. As long as she had Tina, nothing else seemed to matter. Seeing the love in Tina’s eyes, Bette felt like the luckiest woman in the world.
“Merry Christmas.”

This was sad, hopefully Tina next project was a hit and everything is back to normal, but we must remember that its the little things that count!
Through the archives of fanfic, I came across
this simple but objective history that speaks of solidarity
Bette and Tina to the neighbor. Personally I loved this story, and not
may believe that she had no score.
Loved your story Omalley.Continue writing.

A great story concerning the real meaning of Christmas.
In this year 2017 everyone should read this story. I don’t do Xmas anymore because I feel most people have forgotten the true meaning of Xmas. I love this story.
