Bette would talk to Emma about the adoption and how she felt about Marcus agreeing to donate sperm. She didn’t want anyone to know that Marcus was doing this. She’d keep it between her and Marcus. She didn’t even tell Peggy and she knew Marcus had not said anything to Francesca.
Knowing that he was getting a vasectomy concerned Bette somewhat because of the uncertainty. What if she or her future partner tried to conceive using the sperm and it didn’t take? What if her future partner refused to accept a pre-determined sperm donor? Was she being presumptious doing this on her own? She was brought back to her conversation with Tina on the subject but before she got carried away Bette reined in her thoughts knowing she was putting the cart before horse. She told herself that she should deal with one thing at a time; the most pressing being the baby that was due in 3 months.

Bette checked her messages and saw that she had a voicemail from Tina. Tina said she’d had lunch with Dylan and Winnie and they both agreed to a girl’s night out. Bette checked with Michael and he was able to get them theatre tickets for a popular Broadway show. He also made reservations for dinner prior to the show and suggested a few venues for late evening entertainment after the show.
Bette called David and arranged the car service for the evening. After Bette finalized everything she returned Tina’s call and told her the plan. Tina said she would call Dylan and Winnie to let them know. Bette returned to Peggy who was sorting through some papers in her study.
“Peggy are you sure you don’t want to come out with the girls tonight?”
“I’m sure dear. I want to get to bed early this evening. We only have one more day here before we leave to Los Angeles on Friday and I need to be rested.”
“OK. You know I’ve been giving some thought to your proposition. I was wondering if there wasn’t a way to involve Francesca.”
”How?”
”You know her family owns Romano Art Gallery in Milan and she’s going back to Italy to take over the management of the gallery at the end of the year.”

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……
Thank you for posting. Wonderful chapter. Pps
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.
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.
Who is she calling? Tina I hope
Another great chapter. Love this story. Congratulations!
