    Decisions, Decisions

    “I would invite you to join us for lunch but Peggy, Marcus, Francesca and I have a private matter to discuss. I need to keep their confidence until we make some decisions. I hope you don’t mind.”

    “Bette its fine. Don’t worry about me. Maybe I’ll call Dylan and Winnie to see if they are available for lunch.”

    “That’s a good idea. If you do why don’t you see if they want to do a girl’s night out this evening. We can get tickets to a show or something. I can ask Michael to check what’s available on short notice if you want.”

    “Yeah that sounds like fun. I’ll call Dylan and then I’ll leave a message on your cell phone. You can call me back when you’re available.”

    “OK. I’ll see you later. By the way don’t tell Dylan that I took you to the mall this morning. She is usually the one that goes with me and she’ll be upset that I went without her.”

    “OK. I won’t mention it but what if she asks?”

    “Then I’ll tell her. She’ll probably insist that we go again with her but it will need to wait until the next trip. You know I really liked that outfit you selected for the opening. I bet Eric is going to love you in it. Did you get a chance to call him last night?”

    “Yes I did. He said he would like to attend but has to check his schedule. He’s working on a case right now so things are a little unpredictable.”

    “OK. We’ll leave a spot open for him and hopefully he can make it. Listen I’m going to grab a cab to Peggy’s. David is on call if you need him to take you anywhere.  I should be back before 5 pm.”

    “OK. Bye Bette.”

    Bette leaves for her lunch meeting and Tina goes to the guest bedroom to unpack her purchases. She really did have a good time shopping with Bette. They had different but complementary taste in clothing and accessories. The sales person had commented on what a striking pair they made when they stood side by side in the dressing room wearing the outfits they had each selected for Val’s opening.

    ***

    Bette, Marcus, Peggy and Francesca enjoyed a wonderful lunch prepared by Peggy’s personal chef Douglas. The food was exceptional as usual and now they were relaxing with coffee in one of the sitting rooms in Peggy’s penthouse. Peggy had met Francesca once or twice but they didn’t really know each other that well. This was a great opportunity for all of them to learn more about each other and to talk candidly about the adoption. Peggy was as invested as Bette was since she would be the baby’s grandmother should Bette decide to go through with the adoption.  When there was a break in the conversation Marcus asked Bette if he could talk to her privately. They went out to the balcony leaving Francesca and Peggy in the sitting room.

    1. I love it. Now if Peggy agrees I can see Bette and Tina moving forward and start dating…..Question is how will she react to Bettes little family expansion……

    2. Moving along nicely but even if Bette and Tina are going to be in the same zip code nothing will come out of it right away…But this will at least give them a chance to connect more….Wonderful Chapter BAT2012!

      • Pie_Fair thank you for reading and commenting. I am enjoying your stories very much. I just wanted to reply to your statement that ‘nothing will come out of it right away’ even though Bette and Tina will be in the same zip code. Although Bette and Tina will be pursuing their own paths they are still progressing their friendship and building the foundation for the eventual relationship. Can’t promise they won’t have their ups and downs but if it’s worth having they will put in the work to make it happen.

        • And thank you for reading!..Very much appreciated..I do really love your story and see that Bette and Tina will progress slowly but I also like how you are writing Bette in this…Love the softer side of her and I am curious how she deals with the the assault that Jodi inflicted upon her as we haven’t seen that yet as the story advanced 2 years…I’m sure that might become an issue as she progresses into a relationship with Tina…Curious as to how and if you present that..But I’m along for the ride!..Thanks again BAT2012!

          • Bette’s assault by Jodi does come into play later in the story but not as a hindrance to having a healthy romantic/sexual relationship with Tina. Her therapy with Emma right after the attack and in the ensuing years has helped her to work through the emotional trauma.

            I don’t want to give too much away (for those who haven’t read the story before) but Jodi’s psychosis will be the focus of the assault storyline when I pick it up again. I’m glad that you like my Bette. This is how I’ve always seen Bette and I usually write her with a lot of heart.

    3. In order for this Bette and Tina coupling to work, Tina has to modify her life plans. At this point, she is physically attracted to Bette but nothing has occurred so right now it all seems so sterile, no panting, no sweating, no carnal desires have been revealed. Seems too much like an arrangement, all very platonic and business like. Looking forward to the next chapter.

      • azmama thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your insights. Unfortunately my style of writing Bette and Tina even in a romantic story (which this one is not) does not lend to panting, sweating and carnal desires except of course during the act. Sorry if the relationship feels too intellectual or like an arrangement – not sure how else a platonic relationship should be portrayed. I said this wasn’t typical TiBette – and to me that means they can be together in the same room without being naked. However if you stick with the story there is a conversation between Bette and Tina that talks to the ‘lack of passion’.

        My view when including sex in a story agrees with something Peggy said at the end of season 5 talking about Bette and Tina and Helena and Leigh Ostin playing musical partners: “… all that fu**king with no art is really rather dreary.” I hope my stories offer enough of a plot line that the sex is significant when it happens.
