“Today was very intense and emotionally charged but I think we had a breakthrough don’t you?”
“Yeah I think we did. Paul is pretty amazing isn’t he? It’s like he knew exactly what we needed today. The butterfly release ceremony was the perfect way to honor Jason and who would think to have a counseling session at a campfire making s’mores?”
“Well it might be unconventional but it worked wonders to diffuse what was turning into an argument between us.”
“He really made me realize how self-absorbed I was being. I accused you of being insensitive to my needs but at the same time I was pushing you away and totally overlooking yours.”
”Yeah the way he distinguished our roles made sense even if it would normally be associated with heterosexuals. I was clearly the ”daddy” but now I understand a lot of what you were experiencing too.”
”My God Bette how did we make it through the first five years of marriage so effortlessly when the next four we were like complete strangers making one bumbling mistake after another.“
“It’s like Paul said Tee the journey to parenthood is different for every couple. Add to it the fact that we’re lesbian moms; neither of us had parents or role models to help us. To top it all off look at the cast of characters we turned to for help; Alice, Dana, and Shane. I mean who plans a ‘sperm donor party’ in the first place and then invites more lesbians than potential male donors? All of whom turned us down by the way.”
Shane: “What are you doing?”
Roommate: “Field research.”
2nd Roommate: “Yeah there’s a scientist in the National Enquirer who says that if your ring finger is longer than your index finger it means you’re a lesbian.”
Tina: “Oh my God look I’m gay too.”
Bette: “Thank God otherwise I’d have to leave you.”
***
Bette and Tina wonder why all the men they’ve invited to the sperm donor party have turned them down. Tina wonders if it’s their “pitch.”
Shane: “It has nothing to do with you guys. It’s the new male.”
Dana: “What? What do you know about men? I mean, you’ve never even been with a man.”
Shane: “Well, the new male is more spiritual than the old male. He sees his sperm as an extension of his inner being. Whereas the old male shot into any female without thinking about what would happen, the new male totally cares what becomes of his seed.”
Alice: “Oh my God, it’s Yoda.”
Dana: “Yeah, they teach that at hairdresser school, by the way.”
Bette: “Well, that’s just great. Why did they have to get all sensitive on us just when we needed them to keep on being the same old assholes?”

So glad they are making progress. Thanks, enjoyed it
Thank you wkm. Glad you are enjoying the progress. Lots more to come.
BETTE would get TINA warmed up time after time only to pump the brakes when TINA wa ready to make love.DAN was a counselor yet BETTE felt they didn’t need one.BOTH BETTE/TINA was to wrapped up in their own problems to see that this way of thinking was THE PROBLEM .Looking for donors it became what ever the other one wanted not what THEY wanted.BETTE found the donor,BETTE picks the guy to go home with them,BETTE finds the second donor all her choices yet TINA just went along.TINA confides in friends when she should talk to BETTE,TINA inseminates herself ,TINA has a reality check when MARCUS turns out to be black.To share all these hidden truths between them and at the end of the day realizes that there is still enough of a spark to ignite the sexual urges for each other gives them hope that this too can be put in the category of what not to do when planning a baby.Let the love they know is there shine thru.Best quote of this ”ze penis,ze pussy ,ze baby” that was one for the history books.pps thanks
dunnthat. Thank you for commenting and providing great insight. The point of rehashing all this history is to understand, forgive, and move on. Most importantly to learn from mistakes, pay attention to the warning signs, and not repeat bad behaviours. They are making good progress emotionally and eventually the physical relationship will resume.
Thanks for this great chapter.
One step at a time, they are reconnecting .
the entire constellation.
mscully – thank you for reading, commenting and rating. I love it when you reward my chapters with ‘the entire constellation’ :-)
Like what mscully said one step at a time, they already have talked much about a lot of their problems and it was very wise to ask Paul for his insight when they were not able to do that by them selves, but they are making progress.
The flashback that Bette came home earlier to spend time with Tina, trying to reconnect, and that Tina went to the gym, was for me absolutely heart breaking, it showed how disconnect they were.
I didn’t like the first few chapters, but Bat, you have defiantly my attention again.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Bibi28 – thank you for sticking with the story. I know it was a rough beginning and I really appreciate that you gave it chance. Bette and Tina are going to progress by leaps and bounds before the end of this retreat.
