Close Encounters
After Bette ended the call with Peggy she made two more calls to Julia and Phyllis. It felt great to finally celebrate her pregnancy and to be free to flaunt and enjoy her growing physique. No more hiding under oversized clothing. As a matter of fact she decided to go shopping for a maternity evening dress. She would need one for Leigh Ostin’s private artist’s dinner.
***
As expected the news of Bette’s pregnancy spread throughout WeHo’s close knit lesbian community, and eventually filtered into the art world where Bette still had close ties. Her pregnancy dampened the expectation of some who’d hoped to have a chance with the ever elusive mocha beauty while others were intrigued by what it would be like to have sex with a pregnant Bette Porter. As an exceptionally beautiful woman Bette was used to getting attention from both men and women. She was the type that people noticed when she walked into a room and she worked it.
Bette knew how to use her looks and when to turn on the charm and charismatic personality to her benefit but these days she was rather reticent. She stayed mostly to herself and she didn’t frequent the clubs but that didn’t stop the more forward women from approaching her to express their desires or make illicit propositions. There were times during the pregnancy when Bette’s sex drive was heightened and she would have welcomed uninhibited sex but she wasn’t desperate enough to chance it with some random one night stand. The last thing she needed was to contract a sexually transmitted disease or potentially put herself or the baby in danger just to scratch an itch. It was times like this when Bette missed her life with a partner; she hated being single.
To hear Alice tell it you would believe that Bette was a ‘big time’ player leaving a string of sexual conquests and broken hearts in her wake but that was hardly the case. Like most singles she’d played the field before she met Tina but once they’d committed she was never unfaithful. Tina had been everything she wanted and needed in a partner until their worlds fell apart after the miscarriage. The affair with Candace was an anomaly. As much as Bette succumbed to the temptation that led her astray she really did believe and longed for a monogamous relationship and a loving environment to raise her family.

Hmmm….Bette and the Senator? I like Bette with Leigh much better!! Great story..as always. Thank you!
Glad Bette is getting the attention she deserves.
Love the continuation! It is nice that Bette is so happy with most of her life. Maybe soon, all of it. Thanks for posting!
Ok, Leigh or Barbra would be good choices if you insist on it not being Tina. However I will not give up hope. As kit said, those two belong together.
Thanks! I want Bette with Tina also! I’m keeping the faith!
great chapter hm im not to sure I like bette with Barbara but im so pleased shes getting on with her life pps.
I really dont get why this wont be a tibette story especially when it’s obvious that still belong together in the story but its nice to read a lil difference in a story and trust me.you making sure all hope is lost, smh love it anyways, i want to see more angie and bette nights that would be awesome
Excellent story and your writing is outstanding. I always liked the Senator and even Leigh w/Bette. Either one would be a far better partner for her than Jodie, IMO. Of course, Tina was always my fave.
Like the Senator very much and certainly more than Jodie but I, and I think Bette, need Tina back in there!! Can’t you consider her at least being around so she can see what she is missing and show Bette that she is really the ‘love of her life’? I live in hope!
I feel like we are getting to the best part of the story here, haha. Hmmm, tough choice for Bette, huh, with all those women coming out, lol! I would be happy with whoever you choose for Bette (well, anyone but Tina). But, to be honest, I can’t see Bette with an older woman in this story (I always had an impression Barbara was older then Bette). Leigh, on the other hand – I am intrigued. What is her deal? Would be kinda romantic if she carried a torch for Bette all these years, lol.
I’m like the others: I really want to be with at the end of Tibette. It was always hard for me to imagine Tibette story, so that they are not together and live happily. I am glad that Bette begins to live his life. the senator is still better than Jodie (anyone but Jodie is not in the story!)
I loved it as always, but I hope at the end of Tina and Bette will be together.
My dear friend, I’m loving this story. We all have our baggage to deal with and Bette had opened hers up. Tina still carries a steamer trunk. I hope that she allows Angie to maintain a strong connection to Bette and her little brother. I can’t see Tina really being a part of that scene as she’s too angry about her life and how she’s created it. We all make choices and decisions and Bette has made better ones than Tina has so her life is sitting in a much better place. Tina needs a bit of therapy to let go of her anchors to her past so that she can move on and be happy. I’m happy that Bette is able to move forward with her life with Angie, the baby, Kit and her extended family. I only wish the best for Tina in this story.
Thank you my friend for your brilliance in writing amazing stories! I so enjoy them!
great story like to reed moore!!!
