Chapter 66: Letters from the past (Bette makes a decision about her future; Tina worries about her future with Bette)
Three Hours Later
Christina woke up to the darkness and quietness of the bedroom. The midwife was dozing off next to the baby’s cradle. Her newborn son was sound asleep, bundled up like a little doll. Her body was aching all over but her spirit was high in the clouds. Christina remembered the look in Elizabeth’s eyes when she asked her to stay. It was fleeting and almost imperceptible but it was there. Elizabeth’s eyes said ‘Yes’, if only for a brief moment.
Christina got up slowly, grimacing at the soreness in her body and reached for her nightgown. She had a sudden urge to see Elizabeth, to see that look in her eyes again. She left the bedroom in search of her friend and finally found Elizabeth asleep at the desk in the downstairs study. Christina smiled and stood there silently, watching Elizabeth’s chest moving up and down slowly. She was beautiful, breathtaking, even after an exhausting day and Christina said a quick silent prayer to the Lord for bringing this woman back into her life.
Her eyes followed the extent of Elizabeth’s body and she noticed a piece of paper on the desk that looked like an unfinished letter. She slowly approached and peeked at the letter, curious about the contents and intended recipient. She read the last part where Elizabeth stopped and frowned in disbelief.
“Oh no…” she whispered and glanced quickly at sleeping Elizabeth who hasn’t moved once since she’s been here. Christina looked around the desk and smiled, as she saw the fountain pen resting on the edge of the inkwell.
“That will do…” she nodded.
Meanwhile, in another dimension
Place: Los Angeles, CA
Year: Early July 2006
“My dearest Tina,
There is so much I want to say but my pen won’t write it. I must confess it was much easier to write these letters in my head before I actually sat down to write them. I have your image in my mind but I know I can’t have the original right now so I can speak to you with these letters, through time and space…and hopefully, you can hear me.
I was angry and upset when I made a decision to come back to my past. Angry with you at first and then upset with myself because that anger clouded my judgment. But my love for you was not at all lessened by what happened. I’m fully aware of my own faults and feelings, and I believe that a fear of losing you, along with jealousy, might push me to do something I wouldn’t normally do. I hope before long to hold in my arms, cover you with a million kisses and tell you how much I love you, how much I admire you, and how much I desire you, and only you.”

Hi BetteAndTinaForever:
Welcome back. That was an amazing, wonderful surprise, to read a new chapter of your fabulous story, and BTW, you let me in a cliffhanger, what will Bette finally decide to do? and what will happen with Christina if Bette goes to the future or with Tina if Bette stayed in the past? Well, I have to wait for your next chapter, thank you so much for coming back and maybe you could finish this excellent story, pps.
