    Author Notes:

    More talking.

     

    “But you told her you’d help her with *****.”

     

    “Help by giving her more sources of information, more people to talk to beyond the talks that she’s already had. But she knows that she still had to pass through you.”

     

    “What?”

     

    “When I first talked with Jess about this, I gave her some rules, what she couldn’t do. She agreed that if she wanted to do anything, she had to talk to us.”

     

    “Us, huh?”

     

    “Don’t think that getting rid of me will make your daughter a nun.”

     

    Fortunately, Tina’s mood had lightened, and she was able to take that statement in the nature that it was offered.

     

    “No?”

     

    “Tina, she’s curious, and she’s scared, but there’s one thing at the core of all of this.”

     

    “Yeah?”

     

    “Your love, and your approval. Okay, two things. But two very dear things. Despite appearances, she holds you in such high regard, rejection from you would be a crushing blow.”

     

    Tina appeared to be listening, absorbing my words about her daughter.

     

    “I probably can’t understand what it’s like for you to have to see her go off into the world, but she wants to make sure she’s going with your blessing.”

     

    “I’m not sure I’m giving her any sort of blessing to have *****.”

     

    Stick to your guns, T. “My guess is if you frame it the right way, you can get her to agree to that.”

     

    “You think?”

     

    “Yeah. But I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned from all of this.”

     

    “Hmm?”

     

    “Jess will keep working us against each other, if we let her.”

     

    “Bette, she’s not evil.”

     

    “No, she’s not, but she’s not always going to agree or see the big picture, either. She’s already finding ways to manipulate both of us to her advantage.”

     

    I let this sink in for a moment, to see if Tina’s going to refute the statement.

     

    “You need to set the direction for her; I’ll follow. But if I’m going to be around, I need to know what you expect, and that I can be someone that she can rely on without your feeling alienated.”

     

    “If you’re going to be around?”

     

    Just my luck that these would be the words that she would latch on to. “‘If.’” Now, how to put this so that I don’t freak her out any more than I already have? “Today, you clearly weren’t ready to see me. I need to know. Do you want me here, do you want me in your life?”

     

    I couldn’t resist anymore, and reached out and grabbed her hand. “Because T, I really do want to be here. But I can’t make this decision for you. I need to know that you want that, too.”

    2. I have read your story and loved every minute of it but I went back and re-read it because I have a question…it seems to me that Bette took all the heat for the relationship ending. Is Tina ever going to tell Jess that wasn’t the case and what exactly happened and that part of it was her fault too?

    3. Please let Tina tell Bette that she loves her and wants her back home. They need to be together for each other and for Jess to recognize both as her parents that love her dearly. Thanks for the post.

    4. AWESOME ! Bette is supporting T but also wanting T to make a choice already – hurrah for Bette – now Tina step up. Your writing is superb as always – even when you make me doubt my take on the characters you usually lure me right back.

    8. It’s nice to see them having a real conversation…I’m looking forward to the follow-up, where Tina continues to be open and not shut Bette out or act like a teenager herself. Seems to me Tina and Jess have lots in common, they both have the capacity to act like two year olds when it pleases them, stomping around, etc…

    10. Wow. Great update. This was the best conversation these two have had yet. Bette is being very smart about this. Tina needs to catch up. Thanks for the update.

    11. Wow! Two in one night! I’m lucky! Thank you. I’m glad that Bette is letting Tina have a part in her decision to stay or not. Great story. I not just like it; I love it. Thanks!

    15. If it weren’t for those darn pesky words everyone would be sitting pretty right about now. There seemed to be some active listening going on this time by Tina…but did she hear the real issue? Great chapter as always.

    16. AHHHH! with the cliff hangers! I’m sooooo sooo glad that bette and tina are talking. and that tina is listening. I think that Bette can help with tina and jess’ relationship too. keep writing. I’ll be reading.

    18. I know this is serious talking and all that necessary stuff, but I miss the funny neurotic reactions, but I´ll be pleased if they continue acting as adults, even if the fun disappears…

    24. Bette: “But if I’m going to be around….” The “if” is dependent on Tina, not Bette, and it seems that Bette is making that clear. Bette has made the decision to stay and now the buck stops with Tina. Always fun to read!
