“Well, I think you have…” her father piped up.
Tina’s head spun around to her father as he looked at her and smiled, “your eyes are sparkling Tina… a tell tale sign…”
“Did you have a row or something…?” Maggie interrupted.
“Huh?” Tina looked around at her sister, the subject not quite going as she had anticipated; she looked to her mother for help, just as Maggie continued.
“So did you have some row before you set off and brought Bette instead?”
Tina looked to Bette and took a deep breath, she glanced to her mother once again, and found her mother smiling at her, glad of the telephone conversation the few days before, knowing that she had her mother’s support; it was just a case of telling the rest of the family now.
She placed her hand over Bette’s, which was resting on the table beside her, her deep breath and the squeeze from Bette’s hand giving her the much needed boost to say the words, “it’s Bette that had put the sparkle in my eyes…”
The table became silent, a giggle came from Tina’s brother as she looked around, “that’s a good one Sis… great joke to play on Mom and Dad… so what’s his name…” Jake laughed.
Tina remained silent; her eyes meeting her mothers, as she swallowed hard, Bette remained silent.
“Fuck…” Jake said, to no one in particular, no longer giggling as he took in the silence that had descended around the table.
Maggie stood quietly, and began clearing the plates, her eyes avoiding contact with anyone.
Tina looked to her father, his eyes narrowed as he looked to Christina, his voice menacing as he spoke directly to Tina’s mother, completely disregarding both Bette and Tina, “she’s a fucking dyke…” he stood and walked silently out of the room.
Tina’s hand flew to her mouth at hearing the words her father had said, the complete menacing sound of the words hitting her senses as she felt her eyes well, she was dumbfounded.
Bette covered her face with her hands, her heart pounding in both anger at Greg’s words and pain for Tina, her hopes of having her new life accepted with open arms by her family being thrown in her face at her father’s words.

1st….yes. Thanks for the words mate :o))
Definitely was not a disappointment. More please. Just love there reconnection and connection now. Both appreciative and not taking each other for granted now!!! Great Job!!!
Man this was good…you were pulling emotions out of me I was like dag…the story seemed so real. Give us more Jo
Jobadge, I have to say this story of yours is probably my favorite of all the fanfictions I’ve been reading so far, and let me tell you, I’ve been reading some pretty good stuff ( there are so many good writers around here ! ). But this one is just… Amazing and so “unique”. I had really hoped you would start posting chapters of “Do you remember when” again someday, but I was kind of losing that hope ( although I’ve enjoyed “Those adoring eyes” very much ). So I guess all I can say at this point is : Thank you very much. I’ve been missing this story so much ! Pleeeaase, Jobadge, don’t make us wait that long again for your next installment.
Excellent piece of pure emotion, as moving as deeply realistic. I love it a lot. It seems so real that I cannot help but thinking it came from life, deep from living memories… Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your sensitivity with us !
Yes, Jo, it’s been decided…You are the master of the romantic. More, please.
I can’t believe that Bette wouldn’t blow up at that rebuking by Tina, that she took things so well all week, her pride obviously not so all powerful in the beginning…lucky, tks J tks!
WOW!!!!! Thank you PPS
That Greg is just a fucking dyck! Actually, he deserves some sympathy himself. Although he didn’t acquit himself well, and the paid radiates outward from the source in concentric rings, he really is just another example of the bitterness that comes of trying to live according to someone else’s wishes and expectations. It’s not a market queers have cornered.
I meant ‘pain’ not ‘paid’. Crap, you’d think I’d learn to proofread.
*Very deep and heavy sigh*… Saying that this is my favorite series is an understatement… I read this amazing chapter listening to some amazing music, and let me tell you that in spite of the lump present in my throat the whole time, I just had one amazing moment thanks to you. You’re such a fantastic writer… Thanks for this fireworks of emotions… again!
This was amazing. you put it together so well. thanks
Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful flash back..tough 4 B and T…but a great story…
yes yes yes, so glad you have posted a new chapter on this series. I love this story thanks
very emotional chapter, thank you
great pms
I love Tina’s mom. I hope that we get to see more of her in later post. There is that deep, deep connection that only true soul mates share in Bette and Tina. I wonder what Benjamin’s family would say if they knew that they had a granddaughter and what their reaction would be if they knew that Tina was deeply in love with a woman?
Ow that hurt like a…yeah you get the idea. Greg sucks. :( I kept thinking you made a typo when you said “he” instead of “she” prior to the flashback.
Raw and emotional. I felt so bad for Bette. She had to walk away from TIna, not able to comfort her. That feeling of being helpless, is awful. It’s like trying to comfort someone who is grieving. I guess in a way, Tina was grieving. Grieving for relationship with her Dad that she really never had. Great job Jo. Thanks.
warm my heart.
Hey Jo – I was too tired to comment last night, sorry. This post was everything I expected plus so much more….you’re fantastic!!! I did notice Tinas mother name :o))……..Again thank you so much for the post and the words, you’re a sweetheart.
I know it’s been a while since I left a comment, and I really have no excuse but I just wanted to say that I thought that was amazing. One of your best, and I hope that my chapter lives up to your expectations. Thanks mate.
Good chapter. That was emotional and great flashbacks. Please post soon, thanks!
Well..where to start…I really liked the twist you have in this chapter with Tinas Dad…..And as hard as the week was for both of them…it was much needed for Tina..BUT what i really liked..was the way you brought them both back together….at the pool!…the place where your first story started…..Kind of ironic…i loved it!
you write wonderfully ..pps
JO… loved this… what a chapter… please continue
wonderful! lately you have been making me cry wiht your wonderful chapter, thanks for post another one of this story
Loved “Adoring Eyes,” but I’m SO glad to see you back at this one. Amazing.
Thanks for a wonderful chapter Jo. I so love this ‘remember’ series. Great flashbacks and the way you capture the emotion is just awesome!
your stuff makes me cry like no other and this just had me sobbing — which i know wil make yoiu laugh. for me its my mom who doesn’t like that i am a fucking dyke… sadly i have never met anyone who loves me like bette loves tina. this is brilliant job. so simple but so poigant. as always you amaze me with your talent. ally x
I love these stories, you write them so well. Thank you.
So glad you’re back with this story, but wow, so painful and real the breach that was revealed! Thank you for taking the time to show us some backstory and the challenges of B & T’s love early on that helped to forge the powerful bond we see between them.
