”Mmm, it’s delicious. I didn’t know you could make cakes” Bette put her hand on Angie’s shoulder and looked at her.
”Nat can, and I’m an apprentice” Angie smiled at her friend and then at her mother. ”Are you all right? Tired today?”
Angie knew that Bette had started going to therapy again, but she didn’t want to embarrass her mother by asking such a personal question in front of Natalie.
”Yeah, I’m a little tired, but it’s fine. I’m going to say hello to Tina”
Bette said this and go to her wife. Tina was sitting by the pool, her feet in the water, reading the script for movie. She didn’t notice Bette come over and only saw her when she sat cross-legged next to her.
”Oh, hi, baby. I didn’t notice you”
”Hi. What are you doing?”
”I’ve got a whole stack of new scripts, and everyone who can read them has read them, but they still need my approval. Madhouse” Tina said the last word and rolled her eyes. ”How was your session with Salma? Has your opinion of her changed?”
”Yeah. I realized that she and her approach are close to me. We talked about a lot today”
Tina put her hand on Bette’s back and began to stroke her. ”Was it hard?”
”Hard” Bette smiled ruefully and shrugged her shoulders.
”But you want to keep doing this?”
”Yes. I think it’s time for that. You always say that nothing happens for nothing, so… ”
”So what, honey?” Tina raised her hand to Bette’s cheek and stroked it.
”This trip and its consequences are not accidental. This is the starting point” There were tears in Bette’s eyes again, and her voice was low and low. ”We needed that sign, that’s what I think”
Tina looked at her wife with a compassionate frown. She took Bette’s hand and raised it to her lips, kissing it several times and thinking about something, and then she spoke again, but her voice was almost inaudible. ”Let’s try to do it”
”What?” Bette pushed her hair back from Tina’s face so she could see her better.
”Open this door”

This story is very sad, yet inspiring. From the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it. Bette and Tina have both repressed their feeling of loss and hurt for a long time. And although this loss is something they will never get over they must learn to live with it and to put their lives into a loving and caring relationship with each other and with Angie. Its time to acknowledge the loss, feel the pain, heal each other and learn how to go forward as a result. Loss of a child is devastating. Dealing with it even more difficult. It can tear families apart… these two need each other… I believe they have made a good and positive start. They just need to get to the point where they turn to each other every time, when in need of comfort and solace and to be present when those times arise.
Thanks for the update….
Thank you for reading, Martha!
I really like your phrase “from the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it”
I think it makes a lot of sense.
Hi Ada,
This was so good, i almost don’t have words to describe how this chapter touched my heart.
I don’t have children and can’t imagine what a devasted loss it is when your child suddenly dies, but you did a excellent job to describe what Bette and Tina went through when they lost Oli.
I have full confidence in that this therapist will help Bette and Tina to come to terms with the loss of Oli and give it a place.
For the rest, I can only say that I fully agree with what Martha has written in her comment.
This is definitely one of the best chapters you have written!
I know I don’t always write a comment but I’ll follow your story from the beginning and through to your last chapter!
Thank you, be careful and stay healthy!
Thank you so much for such wonderful words, Bibi!
Although your comments are not frequent, they are always very interesting to read. The feedback is really important to me, and the fact that you gave it this time is so nice. I hope that you will enjoy the continuation of this story no less. Thanks and be careful too!
Ok, it was not easy chapter also.
I like the story about how Tina’s cold reaction on Kit’s death might be subconsciously reaction and even revenge for Bette’s reaction for Oli’s death. I think it’s very trustworthy. – as the story in s3 when i think all Henry story was Tina’s subconsciously revenge to Bette for carpenter.
Yeah, when viewing s3, I had the same thoughts.
Thank you, Zhenya!
Wow! Such an emotional chapter and very well articulated. The depth of these characters is never ending. Great chapter.
Thank you very much! This is so important.
