”Could today get any odder?”
”Oh, yes. Very.”
”Are you upset? You don’t seem upset though.” Tina stops me and holds my arms as the light grows a deeper purple around us.
”She’s not dead, Tina. She’s been in Wit Sec for twenty-six years and was at Melvyn’s wake!”
”What the fuck?”
I begin to laugh and then I can’t stop. I hand the baby to Tina.
”Bette, what is wrong with you. You’re scaring me a little.”
A wind gust picks up and I hold Tina against me as I try to calm my gasps of laughter.
”All day long I’ve wondered if waking up with you was a mirage and perhaps I’d orbited into another sphere entirely. Just snapped, you know? Then the Mother Phone Call.”
”Is that why you sent me flowers?”
”No! Don’t be crazy! I sent you flowers because I love you.”
”But if I’d texted you, ”WTF,” instead of inviting you to Malibu?”
”I was going to call the ambulance. Sad for you though, you’re still my emergency contact.” I laugh at myself and kiss Tina’s lips.
”Dear God. What about your mother?”
”I want you with me when I go to meet her. Will you come?”
”When? Jesus! Yes, of course, I will. But the timing of everything…”
”It couldn’t be stranger.”
”And one more thing,” I put my arm around her as we walk back to the beach house, ”I apparently have a brother.”
”His name?”
”No names given. They’re in witness protection, remember”
”So, someone wants to kill them?”
”That much we can guess, or did anyway. She must feel the threat is over or she wouldn’t be calling or have her emissary call me, anyway.”
”Bette, you have to look into this before we get too involved.” Tina warns as she looks at me and then Angelica asleep in her arms.
”I know. I will. We’ll be careful.” I walk up the steps to the deck of the house. ”Let’s say we’re starting dinner so at least we can open the wine.”
”And to think, yesterday I had such an uncomplicated life dating a heart surgeon.” Tina smiles at me and shakes her head.

The story just before this one, _The Lucky Ones_, is a good lead in to _Coming Home_.
Thanks for reading!
Blackbird
Thank goodness that you’ve returned!!! I thought you were in the Witness Protection Program yourself.Hope all is well w/you. Glad that you made Bette and Jodie’s denouement rapid. On the show it was so ridiculously long that it made no sense. It has taken a odd turn. I am curious to read what you do with the upcoming chapters. So happy that you’ve returned. :-)
Thanks so much, a great story, just what I needed on a Sunday morning – UK 7am – and containing tantalising stuff for future episodes – can’t wait! Lovely pictures too, including the lovely one of T which Jodie better not break! Really, really wish I was on that beach right now. So glad you’re back and look forward to this story continuing.
What a way to break up with Jodie?!…. …a yellow tape around the box? :P…And Bette’s mom is alive?!
What a relief! No more Jodie. Bette and Tina together again! Maxine alive!
Every time I think some thing is going to happen, it’ll shift and once I think I’ve figured out the plot, it’s going to shift again. Nobody writes like you.
Blackbird, my friend, I am so glad you are back!
Loved it, thanks for posting. So glad Jodie is out and Tina is back
So glad to see hhow back. I am really enjoying your take on this relationship. Bye bye Jodi.
Glad to see you back and I agree with the comments given. You should have been a writer for the show!!! I loved the ending with Jodi, so funny. Also was so unique the way you introduced her mom with a Native woman. So appropriate! You’ve done another incredible story for the women and I’m sure they love you for it! Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Great update and a wonderful reunion for our favorite ladies! Unique twist with Maxine! Keep it coming – can’t wait til you give us more. Thank you!!
I’m really glad you’re back.
I really enjoyed this chapter, I really liked it.
as Bette broke up with Jodie was really amazing, the highlight of the whole thing (as if you wrote it just for me) – good, I know not :P
Jodie at least hadn’t a chance to humiliate to Bette. Bette endured much at the beginning of their relationship.
Wow. What turns: Bette’s mother is alive. very interesting.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Blackbird…my friend.. first… glad your back… secondly, your story is outstanding. love the phase from Alice about Shane’s “sex fast” lol… the wonderful amazing feel good together between Bette and Tina is great. i love the emotional details you described in that story between them. the big bomb was Bette’s mother was alive. i applauded you for this story .. bravo bravo bravo. You are a gifted writer.. keep up the great work!!! and welcome back ..can’t wait for the next one..
Glad you are back,amazing story.
Wonderful to see your writing! I had been checking every few days, hoping that we would see your talent again soon. Great story line and the scene descriptions makes the reader feel like part of the story. I can see it all in my “mind.” Thank you.
Welcome back amiga!!! You had me nervous for a while, so extremely happy to see you back on. Excellent story. Loved the “hit the road” approach with Jodie and definitely loving the “Maxine-factor.” Can’t wait for what’s ahead!! As always…AWESOME!!!
