Dan: “Your reaction to Marcus Allenwood no matter how honest it might have been comes across to Bette like a rejection of her identity.”
Tina: “I love Bette and I love who she is. I just wasn’t ready for how I would react.”
Dan: “You know what that says to me?”
Bette: “That we’re not ready to have children together?”
***
Bette comes out of the house looking dejected after finding out that Tina was ovulating yet said nothing about inseminating using Marcus’ sperm. Instead Tina is sitting on the front steps talking to Alice about going to a lesbian club that evening. Bette doesn’t say anything to Tina she just walks past her and heads for her car. Tina interrupts her phone conversation to address Bette.
Tina: “Where are you going?”
Bette: “I don’t know.”
Tina: “Doesn’t the program start at 7:30p?”
Bette: “Yeah but you don’t have to go. You can go out with Alice and Shane.”
Tina to Alice: “Shit you know what … I can’t go. Bette’s giving an art talk at the CAC.”

Bette drives around and ends up at her sister’s apartment.
Kit: “When she looks at you she’s not looking at a black woman or a white woman; she’s looking at the woman she loves.”
Bette: “She sees what she wants to see.”
Kit: “Maybe she sees what you let her see. I mean maybe this wasn’t important before … maybe what’s worked best for you all these years … you know getting your pretty things and putting together your pretty life is that you let people see what they want to see.”
Bette: “What are you trying to say?”
Kit: “Nothing … just maybe it’s been easier for you that way.”
Bette: “That’s nice … that’s really nice.”
Bette gets up and walks away to leave.
Kit: “Oh come on. Don’t walk out… Oh come on girl don’t walk out of here.” Kit goes after her as she’s about to open the door. “Don’t walk out of here like this.”
Bette: “I really don’t need this right now.”
Kit: “We’ve got to stop doing this to each other.”
Bette: “We?”
Kit: “OK I have to stop doing it. I’m the one that always ran away OK? But don’t do what I did. Stay, hear me out cause I’m not going to say what you think I’m going to say. There’s only one thing that cuts across all of our realities … it’s love. The bridge between all our difference and you have so much love in your life Bette. Why are you trying to tear down that bridge? Why?”

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.
