Bette reached out to rub the other woman’s arm, consoling her, and smiling back. “We all go through these ups and downs, believe me.”
Jolene snorted, smiling more now, “You’re just being kind to me, Bette. Of course this doesn’t happen to a couple like you and Tina …”
Bette shook her head firmly, “Nah… we’re not perfect, Jolene.”
“Darn near close to perfect, Bette. You and Tina have the best relationship I know of, gay or straight. LBD would never happen to you.”
It was Bette’s turn to snort, responding firmly again, “No … no.. Jolene. We had really tough times, too. The worst that you can imagine. And we learned, the hard way, that you just can’t take things for granted. Even the strongest love, the most electric attraction, isn’t enough to keep a relationship, any relationship, going.”
Jolene looked back at Bette with questioning eyes.
“What are you saying?”
Bette pursed her lips, paused, and then decided to give her some advice, “Ironically, sex can be the solution for some couples having the same problems you say you’re having. I guess for those couples, having sex is a way to avoid talking about the problems. But for others, not having sex is their way to avoid the problem. Either way, all I can say is that the best thing to do is see a therapist.”
“A sex therapist?”
Bette nodded. “And we know a good one.”
Jolene sounded incredulous. “You and Tina…?”
“As I said, we had the worst problems you can imagine,” Bette answered, without elaborating.
Jolene was about to say something in response when they heard Tina call out, “Bette? Bette?”
Bette turned in the direction of Tina’s voice, responding, “Over here, T.”
Jolene was telling Bette, “I’m sorry to …” when Tina stepped into view, just several feet away now, rounding the corner. The blonde exclaimed, “Oh, hi Jolene!”
The dark-haired woman straightened up from her position of resting against the wall, to step closer to Tina and exchange kisses.
“It’s my fault, Tina, I kept Bette here,” she explained quickly.
“Oh, no problem,” Tina responded, and then circled her arm around Bette’s waist, kissing her quickly. “Liz says if we can find someone quickly, they’ll be ready anytime to .. um.. “clean” the donation. But to make sure this works well, they’ll …” she paused, to look quickly at Jolene.

Ahhhh, just ask Marcus then the kids are really siblings! I like this story very much only wish you posted more often, I have no right to talk I have been pondering a new story for quite some time so you take all the time you need to keep up the quality. My story will be centered around the horse world which is the world I lived in before I had the stroke. I spent many years showing and breeding Appaloosa’s first and then paint horses I miss being able to ride and having horses the most. I have been thinking about doing this story for a long time. I will start it soon. In the meantime I will read whatever you write.,
Allons-y! Jackiee1. Hope you do return to the “horse world.” They’re magnificent animals. About what you’re writing: If it helps, just start with a barebones outline, so that you have a “straw man” you can play with. It’s also something that doesn’t need to be perfect. At times, you could be tempted to be your own worst critic. Don’t be. (Hmmm… I posted 2 chapters this weekend: not good enough? just kidding). Hang in there.
Thank you for the update.PPS. And Jacky please come back soon.
Love this story and the addition of Diane and Jules. Glad to see they are working on a second child and Bette can experience Tina during pregnancy. They will need to be careful who they choose as donor. Hope this upcoming trip is safe and uneventful. Of course that wouldn’t be fun then, would it? Thanks so much for your time in writing this wonderful story and sharing with us.
I also love this story! Why not just ask Marcus to deposit again. That’s the right thing to do if he’s still in their lives. I’m not feeling Tom for some reason. Please let Bette find out the truth in Luxembourg but not to much drama. PPS
So happy you posted again, thanks. Love the story but have a feeling a lot of drama is ahead.
Two posts in one week and both wonderful additions to this exceptional creativity. makes me wish it was a three day holiday weekend so that I could have all the time to read each word, digest and contemplate the creative imagery you have put forth. Thank you, keep up the wonderful work. The imagery between Bette creating life with Tina alone will set all screens on fire.
Thanks for the double post. Bette and Tina don’t know Tom well or his history. Maybe Tina can surprise Bette by searching for Marcus and getting him to be their donor again. They should not mess with perfection, Angie is a gorgeous child.
I love this story, and in my opinion marcus is the best choice.
Lovely story! And like the rest, get Marcus back in the picture, please. Thanks for sharing your great talent with us!
Thank you for both updates.
I agree with the others, they need to find Marcus and ask for another deposit.
Hi Skydancer
I think with Toms sperm and Bettes eggs with Tina as the birth mother would make the perfect match.
I admire your creativity with each chapter, keep up the good work.
