“Jess, sit.”
The look is defiant, but she takes a seat against the headboard again. Legs tucked beneath her.
Just in case, I flip the lock on the door before I move towards the bed. Having to unlock would slow her down, should she decide that she needs to bolt.
Rather than risking close quarters, I grab the chair from her desk and place it next to the bed, sitting down slowly, and arranging myself. While I can, I’m keeping this on my schedule.
“Jess, somewhere you got the idea that I’m here about your mother.”
“Don’t deny it.”
“I won’t.”
The look was smug and self-congratulatory.
“But,” I continued, “your mother is not the only reason I’m here.”
“I know, you have those creepy warehouse things.”
“Jess.” Is she being this obtuse on purpose? She’s not dumb, that much I know for sure. “C’mon, Jess, talk to me. Why do you think that I am only interested in your mother?”
“You said.”
This again. “When did I say?”
“When we were in
She couldn’t have really thought that this is why we separated again, did she? “Jess, it’s not that simple.”
“But I was a reason.”
“You were a reason”
She gains a certain amount of smugness to her.
“for us to stay together.” Now, quick, before she can jump in. “You were a reason that I should have stayed, should have been there for your mother. But you were not, I repeat not ever, a reason that I left.”
She’s quiet. She doesn’t look as stressed. Hopefully she’s processing those words.
“But, you left. I was born, and you left.”
It’s difficult enough to try to justify everything to myself. But now, when I see how difficult this is for a girl who’s been blaming herself for a breakup that involved a parent that she didn’t know she had.
“Mom even made sure I’d look like you, so we’d all be a family and still you left.”

Grreeeaattt, they’re making progress. Love this story :)
I absolutely love these two together. The dialogue is excellent. They still have alot to talk about, but I feel Jess is finally getting it. Please continue with this awesome story.
P where can I even start??
That was fucking brillant, bette was awesome, I’m glad to see she might be starting to undestand jess’s problems, she needs to start talking to jess and explaining what happen, they are so much alike that they will be able to understand each other. At this point I don’t want tina to come home. lol
So any chance of # 4 today??

Excellent chapter! I’m glad to see they’re moving forward. Please continue.

Slow and hard faught but progress none-the-less. And what’s with the tbc??? Girl you better post or I’ll hunt you down with my water gun! :)
P i’m awe struck. this was fanfuckingtabulous. this was so right on. doing my happy dance. loved it all. post soon please.
Whew! That was a long time in coming! Jess is just a tad bit on the stubborn side, huh? Wonder where she get’s THAT from?!! HMMMM…. Pseud, you are an extremely gifted writer to have pulled this whole thing off in such a realistic and believable manner. I feel lucky to have access to this story! Thanks!
I wonder how Tina would feel if Bette and Jess became very close ? happy or a little miffed ? love this story and so happy you are back
Thanks for the last 3 chapters. I’ve missed this story greatly.
I was barely breathing while reading this chapter. And the big sigh of relief I let go at the end was heard halfway around the world. Amazing chapter, Pseud! Please post soon. Love your fic.
Awesome.
They finally talk to each other. Thanks for the great chapter. Okay, fine: Thanks for the excellent chapter.
Best chapter yet of a wonderful series.
Fantastic update. Patience Bette that’s all it takes, lots and lots of Patience. By the way soooooooooooooo glad your back, was getting worried.
This is great, they talk a little bit!
Alpha Bette taking the bull by the horns! She approached Jess with both authority and compassion. She didn’t try to put words into Jess’ mouth, but let her figure out and verbalize what she was feeling on her own. Their interaction was so perfectly realistic. Finally, they were both honest with each other. Tina’s going to be surprised when she comes home to find two entirely different woman than when she left.
But I have to ask…are they really okay, or is this just the eye of the storm?
Excellent chapter – in pace, content, dialogue and emotion. So happy for the number of wonderful chapters today!
(tbc?) You bet! Loving this story, please don’t conclude any time soon.
(tbc?) Of course!!!! Nice to see them begin to open up to each other.
At last they are talking – now just keep listening Jess!
Fifteen years is a long time, almost too long. Has Bette really thought about this? Is she disrupting more than she is uniting? Is there anything to unite? And why didn’t Tina ever really go on with her life with another partner? Fifteen years is a long time to be single.
These are questions that remain to be answered. Jess deserves some answers.
Thanks!
Wonderful.
OMG Pseud this is a very sweet chapter. cant wait for TIna to get home to see these two getting along.
Excellent. They have finally started to talk. I dunno tho, Jess is believing her straight away? That’s it – all sweetness and light now? HHmmm I’m not sure LOL
That was really well done pseud. Bette did what she had to and acted the role of the adult, which it sounds like she didn’t do when she left them in the first place. Still a lot of story left, and you’re just the person to lead us through it! This was just an excellent chapter. Thanks for writing so much the last little while – nice to get back into the groove of this story
Superb.
Thank you.
WOW! I hope Jess finally opening her mind to understand that everything Bette say OMG! It’s getting interesting Thanks Please post soon.
Excellent progression of the storyline, please continue.
I should have posted long ago… Great chapter and even a great story.. thank you …please continue
That was a beautiful touching chapter.
