Bette and Tina take time to process – Chapter 16
***
Tina recalled how she’d spent her time that day while Bette was juggling multiple meetings, phone calls and racing all over town to meet all her professional and personal obligations including chauffeuring Tina to the Planet for her two and a half hour leisurely breakfast with her girlfriends and then dropping her back there later that afternoon after the disappointing news from Dr. Wilson.
Bette kissed Tina goodbye and everyone rolled their eyes at the sweet display of affection.
Bette: “Hey what time are we supposed to be at what’s his name’s?”
Tina: “11:00am”
Bette: “OK bye guys.”
Alice: “Oh my God is that happening today?”
Dana: “Is what today?”
Alice: “The insemination.”
Dana: “Oh mm mm”
Alice: So you’re doing it at the doctor’s office this time?”
Tina: “But first Dan Foxworthy.”
Alice: “No way.”
Dana: “Who? Why don’t I know what you’re talking about?”
Alice: “Because you don’t read.”
Dana: “And what are you, the intellectual of life?”
Alice: “Dan Foxworthy is like the exclusive shrink to the stars. He was on our list of L.A.’s best self-improvement guru’s. How did you get that appointment?”
Tina: “I just called and asked. Don’t tell Bette I told you OK?” Pointing to Alice specifically.
Dana: “But what are you guys doing. You don’t need a shrink.”
Tina: “We’re just checking in. We’re about to do this incredibly major thing.”
Dana: But wait you guys have the best relationship of anybody I know; gay or straight.”
Tina: “I just want to make sure we’re good.”
***
Tina: “She’s always running late. She had a board meeting, and then she had a meeting with an artist. Bette’s the Director of the California Arts Center.”
Dan: “I see.”
Tina: “And she’s probably going to be really stressed about time. After this we have to go get sperm. We’re trying to have a baby and our friend Sean is donating.”
Bette walks in late still talking on her cell phone to her assistant James.
Bette: “Sorry I’m late … James Yeah I’ve got to go in a minute … no no no the art work is way too delicate. It’s been flown in from Paris and Annie is already a complete and total nervous wreck. Just call Adam’s Fine Art Mover. Tell them if they want to do business with the CAC again … exactly … OK great. Thanks bye.”

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.
