Love always,
Bette
*End Flasback*
After reading the letter she fell to the floor and cried for the first time since that day she walked out on Bette. She suddenly felt the weight of her decision and it was like a part of her soul died and she couldn’t get it back. And now here she was 10 years later feeling the impact of Bette’s warning and reservations about her husband
She sighed as she pulled into her parents driveway wishing she could back and change things but if she hadn’t of gone down the path she did she wouldn’t have Carson. And Carson was her world.
4 days later in New York
“Ms Porter. Here’s the signed custody agreement for the Larson file. I’ve already had it filed with the court”
“Thank you Gwen” Bette replied taking the file and setting it on the side of her desk. She watched Gwen walk out and turned back to the legal research she was doing on her computer when her cellphone rang. She looked at the caller id and smiled
“Hey J. What do I owe the pleasure of having my favorite cousin call me”
“Bitch I’m your only cousin….But anyway. I have some news that you may want to hear”
“Oh my God. You’re pregnant!” Bette exclaimed and was met with a scoff on the other end that made her chuckle
“No . God no!…I’m done with that. Three is enough”
“Alright then, So what’s the news”
“Lauren Kennard called me last night”
Bette sat up straight in her chair upon mentioning Tinas mother.
“She did?. Is she alright?”
“Well she is but shit hit the fan apparently when Tina showed up at an apartment in San Francisco that apparently was owned by Darren and his quote unquote wife”
Bette sat there as it sunk in, It finally happened. He finally showed who he truly is. Although she knew this from the very beginning. When she tried to convince Tina that he was cheating on her. She would never listen. Never believed her. Always took his word over hers. Darren was cunning, charming and Tina was easily swayed.

What a great beginning and it tore my heart out, a friendship ruined because a man who cheated on Tina from the beginning it seems and she can’t see it and throws Bette away. Very painful.
And now 10 years have passed, Tina having a son, her only reason for joy in her life. Finally she catched her cheating lying husband and cries out for Bette, to apologize to her.
Bette promised in her letter to the Kennards to reach out to her via her cousin if they ever need her. I think her cousin is right, Tina did/do loves Bette as more as a friend and being scared probably projected it to Darren falsely with as result the ending of their friendship.
I’m looking forward how things are going to develop.
Very interesting story. With 20 yrs friendship why didn’t Bette tell Tina about her feelings. Now Tina will probably get divorced and want to resume her friendship with Bette again except Tina is in California and Bette is in NY. Can’t wait for the next chapters. Please don’t abandon the story. Happy Writing
What Tina needs right now is a good lawyer to start the divorce process. Tina needs to get everything out of this marriage including child support and most of the assets. If Darren has had a marriage ceremony performed with Emily, he may very well have committed the crime of bigamy. I wonder if Emily knows about this. He very well could be giving the residual of his assets to her and walk away with nothing. Friend who hung up knew something about this relationship and may need to appear as a witness. Anyway, Tina needs a tough, no holds barred lawyer. And that is what Bette practices in. Since it takes forever in California, I would recommend she move to New York were a divorce would be easier to obtain. And visitation arrangements will be harder to manage for dear Darren.
I am going to wait and see how Tina handles this apology. Is this something just to relieve her own guilt or is this something more? Could it develop into something more? But Bette is right, after 10 years of no association with each other, they are different people. And of course, to me the key is Carson. If Carson takes to Bette, the path forward will be easier. But if he wants to be his mom’s sole attention, well things could get rough. Of course, we need to find out how Bette feels about children as well. This may not be anything that she has ever considered. At this point, Tina and Carson are a package deal. You don’t get one without the other. This may take some time.
Great first chapter… lots of potential for this story. Thanks for writing… I hope to see a lot more.
Nice beginning. Please go on, looking forward to the next chapter :)
Wow. What a start to this story. Jaylyn is right, Tina is in love with Bette, too. This is a good, interesting story and I look forward to seeing how it develops.
Hola me gusto el inicio de esta historia para cuando el primer capitulo lo estoy esperando con ansias gracias.
Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Oh, that letter Bette (you) wrote is sooooo freaking good. I completely understand Bette’s first No to calling Tina, I’d do the same, but later…of course, Yes.
P.S. I waited for a few chapters to pile up because I knew I’d get antsy and addicted.
Thank you.
