    Summary:
    Chapter 3

    Bette felt the weight of the question. She glanced at Tina, who nodded slightly – permission to be honest.

    “I suspected something wasn’t right,” Bette said carefully. “I tried to tell your mom, but she didn’t believe me at the time.”

    “Why didn’t she believe you?”

    “Because she loved him,” Bette said simply. “And sometimes when we love someone, we don’t want to see the bad things about them.”

    Carson considered this. “Do you think Mom was stupid for not believing you?”

    “No,” Bette said immediately. “I think your mom was hopeful. I think she wanted to believe the best about someone she cared about. That’s not stupid, Carson. That’s human.”

    Tina’s eyes filled with tears at the gentle way Bette defended her, even after everything.

    “Are you going to help Mom with the lawyer stuff?” Carson asked Bette.

    “If she wants me to, yes.”

    “Good. Mom needs help. She’s been really sad.” Carson snuggled closer to Tina. “But she’s less sad now that you’re here.”

    “Carson,” Tina said softly, “you know that even though things are complicated with your dad right now, he still loves you, right? This doesn’t change that.”

    Carson was quiet for a long moment. “I know he loves me. But I’m mad at him. And I don’t want to see him for a while.”

    “That’s okay. You’re allowed to be mad.”

    “Will he try to come back?”

    “I don’t know, baby. But if he does, Pop-Pop, Grammy and I will make sure you’re safe. And Bette will too.”

    Carson looked up at Bette with his serious brown eyes. “Promise?”

    “I promise,” Bette said, and meant it.

    Lauren appeared in the doorway, having given them space to process. “Carson, honey, why don’t you help me make lunch? I could use an extra chef.”

    Carson looked reluctant to leave Tina’s side. “Will you be here when I come back?” he asked Bette.

    “I’ll be here.”

    “And Mom won’t disappear again?”

    “I’m not going anywhere,” Tina said firmly. “I promise.”

    Carson nodded and followed Lauren to the kitchen, leaving Bette and Tina alone for the first time since the confrontation.

    “Thank you,” Tina said quietly. “For what you said to him. For defending me.”

    “I meant it. You weren’t stupid, Tina. You were trusting.”

    1. I love Carson and i hate Darren.

      Bette is afraid, hurt and fearful, i hope she will lower the walls around her heart sometime in the future. Tina has to prove she is serieus in both heart and words but the most important thing for now is to get things resolved and i think Helena will be the best to help her.
