    In love and being loved.

    What a way to start the morning . . .

    * * * * * *

    Morning at the Porters

    The Porters spent a great part of the morning together. Tina and Bette had made breakfast together bantering back and forth with each other as they had done so all of their lives together. Lightly teasing and joking with each other. Tina threw a dish towel in Bette’s direction following a smartass remark from the brunette that made Tina laugh. Bette even snuck quick touches and a kiss or two when the opportunity presented itself.

    The family finally all sat on the patio with their meal and enjoyed the morning sun, its warmth and the company of one another. They teased each other too and laughed quite a bit. Angie enjoyed the easy conversation and the love that was very evident between her parents once again. It felt good to do normal things again with them. The strain of the Kit’s death, the divorce and the election finally taking a back seat to the present and their renewed happiness.

    Even though she didn’t outwardly show it, Angie frequently worried about her parents. She has seen firsthand how sad and lonely Tina was when she moved with her mama to Toronto following her parents’ divorce. She could see it deep in Tina’s usually playful eyes. But a darkness had settled in there before the divorce and stayed month after month afterwards. Tina’s eyes held an emptiness that Angie couldn’t quite understand.

    Before they divorced, Angie had overheard her mama tell her mom that Tina couldn’t breathe around Bette anymore and she had to leave. But then in Toronto, it didn’t seem to get any better. Tina tried her best to disguise her despair, but Angie could feel it and see it with her own eyes. For the first few months in Canada, Angie often heard her mama crying herself to sleep at night. Nothing seemed to comfort her. Tina explained to Angie that it was all part of the process of divorce and not to worry.

    As for her mom, Angie knew Bette was heartbroken from the divorce. Angie heard it in her voice when she spoke with her on the phone and saw it on her face when they communicated via facetime. She knew Bette blamed herself, but the brunette didn’t have a clue as to why. Sure, Angie knew her mom could be demanding at times and very opinionated, but she thought she and her mama loved each other. They always had and were always able to overcome their problems and differences.

      • Hey SG,

        In the Next Step we’ll lay out the plan & some of the things that the future holds for our fav couple.

        You keep safe over there across the pond & stay warm.

        Thanks for your support as always.

        Collins

      • Hi Cathy,

        Thanks for reaching out. I didn’t want Bette to fall apart like we saw in GQ – especially since she has Tina now & Angie by her side for support & comfort.

        The next 3 weeks will be a challenge – we’ll see what happens next!!!

        Thanks again.

        Collins

    3. Hi Collins,

      Lovely chapter!

      I loved the sweet and playfull banter in the bedroom between Bette and Tina! And i love to read about the thoughts of Bette, she is so in love and happy to be with Tina again. Tina really is her anchor, always there for her in good and bad times. I really hope they will make it and stay together forever now.

      It is important that they both do separate things with Angie and together as a family.

      Angie has her own opinion and isn’t afraid to argue her point, she looks so much at Bette and Bette is so proud of her. Bette is not sure about Jordi being a good influence on Angie and is hesistant about their relationship. We will see if she is a good person or has a bad influence, but Angie is raised by Bette and Tina and is very mature in a lot of ways.

      It must have been hard for Angie to see how sad and broken both her mothers were before the divorce and after it. Overhearing Tina saying to Bette she couldn’t breath around her must have been confusing and sad.
      The light didn’t show in Tina’s eyes before and after the divorce for a few months must have been hard to see and to hear that Tina was so sad. Just like to see Bette so sad and broken. But she is happy that they are happy and in a good place again.

      How are they going to cope Tina being gone for three weeks? It has been a intense two weeks for all of them. Maybe Bette and Angie can visit Tina in Toronto for a long weekend?

      Great chapter my friend!

      Stay save and healthy!

      • Hello my friend,

        Sweet chapter with them connecting again after the the result of the election & the promise of more tomorrows.

        In any meaningful relationship, each partner brings their own unique traits to the pairing & in this case. Tina is truly the anchor of Bette’s life. Through all their troubles & years of happiness, Tina has defined Bette’s drive and ambition. She’s the light in Bette’s life & visa versa. Along with Angie, they are this closely knit bond family – very special to each other.

        We’ll see each mother spend some quality time with their daughter. It’s important for all of them & for them to continue to heal the wounds of the past few years. They’ll build new memories to cherish & reflect back on in years to come.

        Tina & Bette have raised an amazing daughter & its’ reflected in Angie’s words & actions. She loves her parents just as much as they love her.

        I hear you & the wish for a visit to Toronto – I’ll see what I can do!!!!!

        Stay healthy yourself & stay safe.

        Good times to come!!!!

        Collins

    4. Thanks so much for this update. I just love this story and how you are presenting both Bette and Tina. You’ve given us so much background on both of these ladies that we never got in the original show. I really appreciate your creativity.
      They are so sweet this time around with each other and how they chat back and forth. I like that you show them as a family too. I can see them in my mind sitting around that patio table and all talking with each other.
      Wondering how Bette and Angie will react to Tina being gone for three weeks. It doesn’t sound like a long time, but when you’re trying to reestablish a relationship any tine apart can be critical. Maybe like Bibi said – Bette and Angie can go visit with Tina for a weekend trip. Maybe – maybe???
      Thanks for giving us some hope for Tibette.
      Looking forward to the rest of the story.

      • Hi there K,

        Thanks for letting me know how much you liked this chapter. I’ve always thought Tibette deserved so much better in presenting their relationship than we got in OG & GQ.

        There have been so many other writers over the years that have also given us terrific stories & great reading opportunities. I have enjoyed them as much as you are now enjoying this story. So thank you so much.

        We’ll see some of what transpires the next 3 weeks as all the Porters deal with Tina returning to Toronto & their separation. Have faith that this is a Forever Tibette story – so keep that in mind.

        Since everyone seems to think that a long weekend trip to Toronto will be a good idea, I’ll chat with Bette & see if I can convince her to go & see Tina!!!! Ha!!!!

        You take care of yourself & be safe.

        Until the next chapter!

        Collins

    5. Such a sweet story. I agree with BiBi that Angie is wise beyond her years, and I love that she was able to open up and share how their divorce impacted her and the things she overheard. Children, no matter what age, pick up on conversations and body language and she really struggled with their separation.

      I agree with Kira – how will they cope with Tina being gone. Terrible timing since they are just now finding a comfortable place to be in, holding space for each other and dedicated to the relationships. Girlfriends again! Love that! Also like the idea of a long weekend visit. Three weeks, 21 days, is a long time.
      Love your writing Collins, well done
      BK

    6. Loved how Angie opened up, held a mirror for her mothers to see the impact of their divorce on her and the things she overheard. Angie is my hero. I agree with Kira about the three week time Tina is in Vancouver, such terrible time to be gone now that things are falling in place. Their relationship is just building momentum and she earned trust back by being present, steady and then she has to leave.

      And then she is gone again in six months. Time for some remote working situation. Who do we need to call?
      I agree too that a visit up to Tina for a long weekend is a great plan. Spend four or five days there, reconnect.
      Great story!

      • Hey pal,

        Action Angie – super hero just like her Mama B!!!!

        They have raised an awesome daughter who is sensitive to their parents needs & wants. She knows they have always loved each other, even when they couldn’t admit it to themselves. She’s always there to lend support & love to them.

        I’ve mentioned before that in today’s world with all the technology we have at our finger tips, they’ll find a way to make it work for 3 weeks. Yes, there will eventually be another 6 months also further down the line, but flights run in both directions & the gals know the flight times by heart!!!

        As I told Kira, I’ll chat with Bette & Tina & see if i can’t convince them of some well planned trips for each to see their soulmate!!!!

        Soooooooooooo my friend, hope you are working on the Captain Bette story – need to find out what happens to our fledging couple once they return to the Captain’s ship & cabin!!!!

        Till next time my friend!!!

        Collins

      • Hey Z,

        Hope all is well. Looks like we’ll be visiting Toronto & having a little tour of the city!!!

        Tina actually has a LOT to do – finish up with the show & production, close down the sets, get everything that they need shipped back to the studio in LA so she can work there over the next 6 months. Then she has to pack up all her personal things & have it all shipped back to her new apartment in LA or Bette’s house. And now, it looks like she’ll be entertaining her family in the Canadian city for a few days.

        Soooooooooo, lots of stuff to get done for Tina.

        Thanks for commenting.

        Have a great week!!!

        Collins

    8. Collins , great chapter. Loved the bedroom scene between them. So caring and tender. This is how I always envisioned them in the show that we didn’t get to see. And then Bette realizing that Tina is her girlfriend again – how awesome was that! And Tina begging Bette to kiss her!!! Wow – nice!!!
      I really like how you’ve moved forward with these two women in your story. They’re not perfect, but they love each other like no other and only want each other for the rest of their lives. Thanks for giving us hope. Hopefully, they’ll get some time together in Canada.
      Tina can’t get back soon enough!!!

      • Hey JW,

        Glad you are enjoying this story & how its all playing out. Playful banter between them is easy & flows so well. All the little details of their story, how they interact with each other & what they think is important. Flushing out the particulars helps us see behind the facade of OG. They are such a rich & complex couple with a full slate to draw on & explain how they are so intertwined together.

        You’re absolutely right – they’re not perfect – but they ARE perfect for each other.

        There are so many great stories right now about Tibette so thanks so much for staying with this one.

        Thanks for staying the course & taking the time to express your thoughts.

        Collins

    9. That was one of the things that I found really annoying about the original show – hardly any back story about Bette and Tina. We got absolutely nothing about Tina and a little about Bette through Kit and Melvin. But they never resolved what happened to Bette’s mother and we don’t know one thing about Tina’s family. Seemed really odd since they showed us background stories on Shane, Alice, Jenny. Nuts.
      So thanks for filling that in for us and giving us an explanation about Tina and her underlining reasons for her behaviors. Looking forward to what you have planned next for us.

      • Hiya JW,

        WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Agree with you about the ridiculous lack of info about Tina & her life story. Poor judgement on OG’s part. But over the years, many of our terrific writers have offered their own slant on Tina’s backstory & how it may have impacted Tibette’s life.

        You are so welcome – it was my pleasure to put some closure to that part of the story.

        Working on the rest of the story already.

        Enjoy the rest of this historic weekend!!!

        Thanks a bunch.

        Collins
