David found his voice but he did what he’d learned to do early in life when things got to be too much. He shut off his emotions and went into protective mode. He spoke in monotones without inflections as if talking to someone that he wasn’t comfortable revealing anything to. He could have been having this conversation with an acquaintance but in fact, she was less than that; she was a stranger to him.
Kit recognized it for what it was. She’d had a similar reaction when she re-entered Bette’s life five years before as a recovering alcoholic. She didn’t have it as under control as she did now but the stigma hadn’t gone away. She’d learned from her experience with Bette not to push her son. Kit had so many questions and wanted to know everything about him, but it would take time to build trust and break down the walls. She was focused on the sound of his voice, but hadn’t really heard the words. She’d missed half of his rambling but he got her attention with what he said next.
“It’s kind of a whistle tour” David explained. “I’m looking at Washington U tomorrow, then on to Los Angeles. I’ve been offered a position with USC, an internship. Anyways, I mean I was thinking … I’m in interviews much of the afternoon and then I’m catching a late flight back to DC you know but I thought maybe we could meet before I leave.”
“You’re just coming for one night?” Kit asked.
“Yeah, I really need to be back in DC. Didn’t Grandpa tell you? David asked.
“No baby. He just told me you might call. I was so afraid that you wouldn’t want to talk to me.”
“Well to be honest I didn’t know what to say, but when I talked to Grandpa this morning he told me that it was time we met. He sounded so desperate that I couldn’t not call.”
You talked to Melvin this morning?” Kit’s anger flared instantly when she realized that Melvin was probably talking to David earlier when she’d walked back into her office and he was ending the call. She wondered why Melvin hadn’t handed her the phone then to speak to her son, but she could understand wanting to give David the choice to make the first move.

Cause after finish reading this amazing story I got a txt saying the meeting was CANCANELLED. Thank you God! I love me some Tina in this story! She sure shocked Bette! I knew Bette would be pissed about Melvin. I knew you was going to leave us in a cliffhanger! Please brighten our day even more by POSTING again today. Please, please, please with sugar plum on top. I had a feeling Melvin was dying:( I hope and pray that we tells them so they can spend time together as one big happy family before he pass! But first let them see he’s making amends out of the goodness of his heart before he tells them he’s dying. I loved that David will meet with Kit. I’m thankful and grateful you finally posted again. PPS like today please!

Miracles do happen Bette, believe in it.
It is good to see Melvin is trying to make amends with both his daughters and Tina.
And David reaching out to Kit, wonderful to see that happen. Kit deserve happiness.
Looking forward to see how Helena is going to react when she will be ditched from Tina’s table and life.
A fantastic update! Thank you!
Thanks for the update! You’ve selected one of my favorite characters, Kit. I liked your story very much! I’ve got to bring Kit into my next tale so, I am delighted read her as you’ve her in this situation. One that’s critical to her character.
Personally, I’m fascinated by Helena. I may be the only one, but the broken parts of Helena I look forward to exploring one day.
Good job!

Hi BAT:
Very nice chapter, long time I haven’t read your wonderful writing; I just updated myself with this new story; I like this one very much; very promising, refreshing and hopefulness.
Here, there is another version of Melvin, as a reasonable man, learning from his mistakes, open-minded and committed to mending fences, Kit is also an inspirational character in this story, she fought her demons and addictions and her not only survived but thrived.
I like Tina-Bette interaction in this chapter, they both have hurt each other, but their love is still there, the emotional pain have made them more mature and they may want to give their relationship another try, hopefully, is not only because they are waiting for a baby, but mainly for the love they have for each other.
Thank you for this precious story, I’ll wait for your next post, with a bit of luck, soon.

Great chapter. Have already written a comment but it disappeared for some reason and don’t think I can redo it. The same thing happened a couple wks ago in another story and it was in the trash on your authors page. I had not quite completed a thought when it vanished. Maybe that’s where it is this time. At any rate this was a good chapter, enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
