I feel my eyes shoot up to the ceiling. ”Okay, too far to walk. I can take a plane.” My eyes drift back down to the screen. ”And tell my mother for me will you? She has a beautiful, beautiful grand daughter.”
I see the elderly woman’s eyebrows rise slightly then settle back down. ”It’s a long story. That night I’ll buy dinner. I’ll figure out when I can come see you, two, soon.”
Malibu – 8 pm
I stand on the deck and feel the rapidly cooling wind whip off the Pacific Ocean as the colors from the sky turn an amazing purple before they begin to fade. I feel Tina’s arm slip around me as she leans her head against my shoulder. I reach down for Angelica and lift her to watch the brilliant sky change.
”A purple ocean is very rare, Angelica, my wonderful baby girl who’s getting so big. You need to get an eye on this.” I point her fist out to the sea. ”I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before, have you, Tina?”
”Never. I’ll take a picture.” Tina clicks one with her iPhone and slips it back in her pocket.
”Let’s go back to the water’s edge one more time before it’s dark.” I wag Angelica’s arm toward the beach.
”You can’t get enough of those sand crabs can you? Why do you love them so much do you think?”
”Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an animal? Just for a day?” I ask Tina as we walk across the sand and I carry Angelica in my arms. Her head bobs sleepily against my neck as the waves lull and crash with the tide.
”I think of flying sometimes when I watch birds.” Tina says.
”Flying does seem nice.” I agree.
”But you probably want something with teeth and maybe a big tail, too.” Tina laughs at me.
I kneel down and watch a half dozen crabs scoot sideways and run along the lines of foam.
”I don’t see you as one of those little crabs, Bette, although you do zigzag sometimes very dramatically.”
”What a tee up!”
”A what?”
”A close friend of my mother’s called me today. Skype’d me actually. An old Indian lady. Just out of the blue.”

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!!!
