    Ebbs and Flow of Life Chapter 27

    Tina began unpacking her belongings that she would be using for the week as she continued her thoughts.  Dr. Cron had suggested that Tina treat this as if she was out of town and not plan to go back to her condo until Angie returned. Bette and Tina had decided not to tell Angie what they were doing because they didn’t want to disappoint her if things went sideways.  Now that she thought about it, Angie had probably already had her suspicions about their plans.  Angie had already figured out that they were sleeping together.  They had been stealing time together using Tina’s condo as their rendezvous point. When Angie started singing ”Afternoon Delight”, they knew their secret was out.  She had never seen Bette blush to the degree she did when Angie stared at both of them singing.  Tina smiled, their daughter had quite a sense of humor.  Tina finished unpacking and changed out of her travel clothes.  She then headed downstairs, raising her hand to her mouth to stifle a yawn. She walked into the kitchen and looked at the clock on the stove that showed 11 minutes past 6p. Tina’s day had started very early, wrapping up things at the location and then grabbing the plane home. She opened the fridge and smiled. Bette had gone shopping and she had remembered all the items that Tina had always identified as necessities of life, Perrier water, blue berries, greens, cucumbers and of course tomatoes. Tina grabbed a bottle of Perrier and headed back upstairs to take a nap before Bette got home.

    Bette smiled when she saw Tina’s car parked in the garage. She maneuvered the Tesla next to it and shut off the engine. The house was quiet and dark when she walked in with her luggage. Bette furrowed her brows as she turned on the lights and looked around calling Tina’s name. Bette walked upstairs turning on the hall light as she headed towards the master bedroom. The door was ajar and Bette could see Tina illuminated by the light from the hall sleeping on their bed. Although the mattress had been bought on line when they moved to Los Angeles, it was the same bed frame they had purchased in New York. There had been many women, but she never brought any of them home. Angie was the primary reason, but she thought sleeping with someone other then Tina in that bed felt like cheating. Bette slowly shut the door and went back downstairs. She went into her office and shut the door to make a few phone calls. It was midnight for her but she was still wound up from the flight. After making a few calls she grabbed a bite to eat and she headed upstairs. Tina was still asleep, she must be exhausted Bette thought. This was not how she thought they would be spending their first night together in their home, but this was about as normal a life as you can get. Bette stripped down grabbing a pair of PJs as she walked into the en suite and shut the door. A smile rose to her face as she stared at Tina as she walked back into the room after cleaning up and prepping for bed.  How many times had she done this over the 20 years they were together. A calmness came across her as she finally felt normal again. She grabbed a blanket and covered Tina who was curled up on her well established side. Bette slowly moved up to Tina’s back into a spoon position.  Bette slid her arm over Tina snuggling up and Tina while still asleep pulled Bette’s arm close.  A smile slowly came across Bette’s face as her tired body pushed her quickly to sleep.

    1. SuperK,
      I felt like the overall ambiance of this chapter is likened to how masterfully Shane created Dana’s bar & grille with the feeling of the family gatherings that the girls love so much.

      I like how Angie is still stepping out to meet new friends but is able to be civil and cordial with Jordi. I like Angie’s willingness to heed Jordi’s warning to not drink the punch that likely contained alcohol and thereby avoid anything go ‘sideways”.

      I chuckled when Angie had been observing her Moms and noted that neither seemed to be “put together: with every hair in place in the mornings at breakfast. Which of course translate that they are at the very least sleeping in the same bed and perhaps NOT just sleeping 😜.

      With Shelly telling Tina about the “rumors” flying around in Vancouver, I feel like Carrie may still have a sizeable dosage of hurt still in her soul, and may end up collaborating some sort of “embarrassment” for Tina at the Emmy’s.

      Hope Tina remembers to ask Ang about what she heard at the party. If Tina haas a check in her spirit about whats-his-face and that Angie should not be around him, then she needs to HEED that warning.

        Right from the beginning I planned on Shane having something other than a bar. I think it opens up for so much more stories and yes Sunday Brunch is on again and maybe coffee every morning before work.

        I went back and forth about the pool party, but I needed a place to have a jerk and it worked for the story and who better to have to process homophobia but Angie.

    2. Trying to unpack my thoughts. Really hate when a so called friend or co-worker spreads hurtful gossip. Not cool at all. I would not hire her Tina. Feel badly for Tina that anyone would gossip about her going back with Bette for money. That is not only petty but also untrue. Also ironic as money IS or has been as issue between them in the past. Maybe Tina shared this with Carrie? Didn’t Carrie make some nasty comments about Bette? Sounds like hostility spread by Carrie. At any rate, Tina is highly successful and a power house in her own right. I think Tina knows this about herself and I just hope she does not allow hurtful gossip to steer her off course. I suspect she will win the Emmy and that will put to rest any possible issues. Take that Carrie! Glad that Angie did not drink the punch and essentially dodged that bullet. She is still young and naive and a little gullible. Hence Bette worrying. That’s what parents do. Yet it also seems Angie recognizes homophobia when she sees and hears it and is very willing to stand up to bullies. I hope Bette and Tina’s week together goes well and Tina moves back in. Again – talk to your counselor if necessary- do not allow gossip to enter your brain. It is time to literally put it all to bed. Love that they now have Shane’s version of The Planet. Home away from home. The pieces are coming together.

        I think Shelly did a good thing. Tina is headed back to the location, I would think she would like to know what is going on before she gets there.

        Gossip happens everywhere, but who likes to be surprised with it.

        Our girls a one step closer.

    3. Hey SK,

      Great to see your update.

      Tibette continues to move closer together & now on the verge of living together again!!

      Ruxford is a sleazy SOB & hopefully Tina is done with him.

      So could it be that Carrie is causing these mean spirited comments about Tina in Toronto? So glad she came to her senses & dumped her.

      Very good scene with Bette & the 2 teens – Go Bette!!!

      Thanks so much!!!

      Take care.

        I think it came together pretty good. A week together will be a learning opportunity for both.

        It was fun writing the scene with Tina and Bette parenting Angie. A day in the life… normalcy.

      Lovely chapter. Two really intimate moments, so different in tone and action and yet each representative of the progression. The first, B coming home, excited to see T and start their week together only to find that T has fallen asleep, so she finishes her work and crawls in to spoon T for the night. So sweet and yet such an act of love. No resentment, no guilt. Just, hey there – you’re tired I will let you sleep. So simple yet so loving at the same time.
      And then the second one, the shower. Just as intimate but for obvious other reasons. Well written.
      They are coming together, piece by piece. Looking forward to the next chapter=

    5. This is a lovely chapter describing the budding relationship between Bette and Tina. They are getting to the normal life activities of being together as the once were. They are enjoying each other’s presence without having a conversation or an intimate moment. That is a good thing…

      What happened at the Starbuck’s between Ruxford and Tina? Alice had been delayed in traffic so there was more time than anticipated however there was no conversation? Or we just not privy to what they said to each other. It is obvious that he is a homophobic bastard. And it is obvious that he is scared that he may have blown his project up by trying to meet Tina at the airport. But exactly what happened at the airport?

      I felt a little lost after the last chapter when they were leaving the gallery party and had gone to the beach and then we find our girls a week or so later coming home from Toronto and New York. I’m going to have to go back to the previous chapter, as I did not realize that Bette nor Tina had a trip scheduled.

      It seems that Carrie is still bitter over the breakup if she is out putting rumors out about Bette and Tina. Tina needs to resolve this if she is going to be in Toronto for any amount of time for her job. She can do this without seeing Carrie…. she needs to talk to Bette about what to do. If she ignores it, it will come up again. Nothing worse than a woman’s scorn….

      Thanks for the chapter…. look forward to the next one…

        Tina’s trip is mentioned a few time in passing. It is a routine trip wrapping up the 3rd season of Golden Chalice. Bette’’s trip is just a business trip.

        Hope that helps.

    6. Hey K,
      I so loved this chapter. I agree with you that at least Shelly had Tina’s back. Better to know that people are talking smack than not know.
      Regarding Ruxford, ooooh, I hope that Tina has that conversation with Angie, now that Tina knows that that the prick met her, and I hope Angie tells her what he was really saying. Loved Bette’s cops renting skills. I can totally see her as the enforcer. And what a great moment for Jordi to redeem herself by saving Angie from that whack ass party. And I’m so excited with this arrangement for Bette and Tina to stay together for the whole week. Can’t wait to see them grow that final bit to bring them to that place of forever.

        The chapter itself is more of a transition setting up the final, but it was fun to write. It was the first time we see our girls really parenting together. Up until this point we see them doing it separately. I was smiling the whole time I wrote that whole scene. There were two parts I liked the best, first where Bette defers to Tina when Angie tries to split and then Bette at the door.

        Tina in the end “Brutal”. LOL
