”I was just hoping we could be a family for my last year home. I guess that may be part of why I don’t want to leave.” Angie sighed wiping the tears that had begun to fall.
”It is true, your mom and I have come to realize that we do still have feelings for each other. Maybe the time away from each other helped settle the turmoil we were having about each other, ourselves and our relationship. It helped us find the love that we lost for each other.” Tina smiled, ”although, I am not sure if it was ever really lost, maybe just taking a break.”
Angie smiled at Tina’s description of the situation with her parents feelings for each other. ”We are going to have to go back to the beginning and do it again.” Tina smiled, ”Your mom wants us to start dating again.”
”Really?” Angie said with her eyes wide with emotion. ”How fun. I remember you telling me some of the romantic stuff ’B’ would do when you were dating.”
Tina’s smile grew to her eyes, ”Yes, having to start dating again should be interesting to say the least and something I am looking forward too. I think your mom is also excited.” Tina paused, ”we are also going to go into couple’s therapy to help us with some of the more tougher stuff.” Tina smiled, ”Baby,” Tina paused, ”the bottom line is… you were right, we never lost our connection and we both have made changes that caused that connection to pull us back together, but there are still issues to be addressed. We want to take it slow and do it right. We are looking at forever.”
Angie nodded her head. ”So do I get to go on some of these dates too,” Angie looks at her mom and they both giggled. Angie leaned over and gave her Mama T a hug. ”I love you both so much and I am happy that you guys are trying.”
A voice over the intercom came on and announced the boarding of their flight would start in a few minutes. Angie stood up and said she was going to go fill her water bottle and go to the restroom. Tina watched her daughter walk away from the gate area thinking how much she had grown in the last two years. The reconciliation journey with Bette would be a long one, but her time with her daughter before Angie becomes an adult would be far less. It had been almost a year since she decided to come back and try to restore her relationship with her family. It had been a rough and emotional time, but in the end, Tina felt she had made the best decision to achieve happiness for her and her family.

SuperK,
When I saw that U had posted, I immediately dove in. Thank you for the refresher that your writing brings. Especially in these perilous times.
Will continue applying your healing balm as though I was Bette, Tina, or Angie.. ????
I really love your story. Thank you for letting Bette take Angie to Yale. Made me smile. Our girls are working towards getting back together forever and they are doing it the right way. So glad they are doing couples counseling. Somehow I doubt it will take as long as Tina thinks. Angie is still a little scared about what it all means and I hope she can be part of the healing and that she gets to witness her parents full reconciliation. Trust is essential on all sides. Tina needs to trust herself not to leave again. Bette needs to trust that Tina really is going to stay forever. And Angie needs to trust that her parents will be okay without her and she can go to college. Lots of moving pieces but everyone has the same goal. And with the love they have this looks so very promising. Again, great story.
Thanks so much for posting.
A great soothing Chapter full of hope.
Your posts are like an Oasis in these troubling times:-)
Stay safe and well

Bette the romantic…. dinner at that special place. Privacy so they could talk and begin to air things out. Love that Tina invite Bette to share her room since she doesn’t have one. And I love that Angie shows up finding her Moms in their pj’s what a surprise considering she thought Bette was in LA. And the fact that Bette went with Angie and Tina to for the Yale tour was simply outstanding. Even though New Haven, Connecticut is a long way from LA, I’m hoping that is her choice.
I really love that Bette suggested couples therapy. With the right therapist and settings and amount of time spent, they could resolve most of their problems in months rather than years. I have a feeling that before Angie goes away to college – Bette and Tina will be a solid couple living together. They may not have every problem resolved – but they will have a process by which they can resolve whatever is still a stumbling block.
Its good to see these two coming to the decision to try. They belong together…..
Thankyou for this great chapter…. now, let’s see what Bette finds out in Paris…..
Thank you for posting this chapter. I enjoy your writing so very much! Love all the special moments this couple is finding time to share. I knew Bette would find a way to meet up with her girls to see Yale! With all the things going on in our lives today I find myself anxiously awaiting new chapters by wonderful writers like yourself. You bring a smile to my face when I open this site and see your post! Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy into some long lonely days!
Great chapter
Love how Bette and Tina are making progress and that Bette told Tina that before she can give herself totally she needs to deal with her own issuess ,Her mother abondening her and what it did with her. But she is serious to give them a healthy chance on rebuilding their relationship, she even suggested couples therapy.
Very good talk between Angie and Tina, i hope that Angie will have a little bit more faith and is more reassured so that she can make the right decision which university she is going to apply and not to be afraid to leave her mothers.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Lovely chapter!
SuperK, this was a wonderful chapter. I love how they are moving in the same direction… towards each other. Bette not thinking to book a hotel room cracked me up, she was so eager to get to see her girls that she rushed to be there. Details details! We can all see the reunion coming and yet watching them take tentative steps to each other is very satisfying. Such a nice way to spend my Sunday, reading this chapter was a perfect end to the week. Thanks!
Thank you for the chapter!
But i don’t really understand – Bette go to find more information about her mother?

Bette has been stuck for so many years and now finding out through therapy what the life long consequences of her mother leaving have done to her, pushed her to needing closure. Wanting desperately to understand why her mother never contacted her after leaving.
It is not uncommon when a parent leaves a child at an early age for them to blame themselves on some level for the parent leaving. Bette was still at a formidable age, it is not surprising she had issues with abandonment. In this story, Tina, leaving just poked a hole in a wound that never fully healed.
Hope that helps.

SuperK,
Hey pal, thanks so much for this terrific update. So many details & lots of exploring.
The talk with Tina & Angie was great.
So glad that Bette & Tina are finally on the same path & willing to put in the work to make it work out this time.
Yes, Bette needs closure on her mother’s actions – so sad.
Thanks for the wonderful chapter & looking forward to what Bette discovers.
