Fall in Vermont Chapter 12
“William or do you want to be called Devon? What are you doing here?”
Bette asked. “I’ve been wanting to focus more on my music so I thought
I would move down here from Berkeley and give it a try and I like to be
called Devon actually”
“OK my turkey is ready and we need to eat” Kit was getting everyone to
sit down at the table. Jessie and Shane came back inside. Shane looked
at everyone to acknowledge all was clear. Jessie brought Tina a shell
she had found outside. Her hands were covered with sand.
“Jess let’s wash up for dinner come on” Tina took Jessie to get cleaned
up. “Who’s that man mommy?” “That is Bette and Kit’s cousin and an old
friend of mommies”
Shane pulled Kit into the kitchen to try and figure out what was going
on and why everyone looked so stunned. In a whisper Kit explained to
Shane. Shane now looked shocked and all she could think was how upset
Tina and Bette must feel and that Alice was never going to believe
this.
Dinner was quiet and everyone was very polite but you could cut the
tension with a knife. After clearing up the dishes and having dessert
Bette asked Tina if she wanted to take a walk. Devon looked as if he
wanted to join them but the expression on Bette’s face clearly said
back off.
They walked down the beach silently for a ways finally Tina sat down
with tears streaming down her face. “Bette, you have to believe me I
had no idea that Devon was related to you” Bette wiped the tears from
Tina’s face. “Tina of course I know that, it’s just all so bizarre in
way” “Fate” Tina uttered in a small whisper. “I know Tee and that
fate intends for us to be connected in someway,” “Tell me how you feel
about this Bette?”
Bette placed Tina’s hand against her chest and looks deeply into Tina’s
eyes. “I think it’s kind of a miracle and I am thrilled. She is so
precious to me.” “Now tell how you feel Tina?” “The only thing I keep
thinking is be careful what you pray for” “What do you mean Tee?” “I
was so hurt after things ended with us but I longed to feel connected
to you. I kept thinking and wishing you were apart of her in some way.
The day I went for the insemination you were on my mind” “Thinking
about our son?” “Yes I was but also I just wanted you to be with me to
feel this” “Tina if you felt this way why didn’t tell me?” Tina was
silent for a moment.

I hope Devon is smart enough not to cross Bette in trying to be in Jessie life. Then Tina will set him straigh on who the real parent will be. Doe he have the money to take her to court for rights to Jesse. Bette has more. . Thanks for posting.
What a light touch you have with them. I love the texture of their love for each other. It comes through in how you write. Thanks
Oh my goodness, this is just wonderful. I am so happy that there is someone out there that wants them together again and with a family. LOVE IT. Just keep Devon out of their hair and lives. I think he could be a problem for them. Let Bette adopt her before he gets the idea to insinuate himself as the second parent. This post was wonderful, THANK YOU THANK YOU. Post soon please.
What a delightful chapter but Bette needs to beware of Devon.
Love it! Patiently waiting for next Friday, or whatever day works for you!
Beautiful Chaka! Just perfect!
This story is so incredibly sweet. I can’t wait for Tina’s surprise.
I agree with so many of these comments that have been placed here about your story. Jwet’s comment about the texture and flow of the characters rings true for me also. Your style of writing helps the characters to leap out of the written word and into a screen of their own (even if that screen is in my own head). Take it easy and I will wait for your story whenever you can write. Thanks!
Wonderful! Delightful! Why is Bette suspicious of Devon?
Well Ms. Chaka, I was thinking it was late and I should go to bed, but then I saw you had posted, so I had to read. Glad I did. Keep Devon on a short leash please. Don’t let him try to usurp Bette’s place as parent, OK? Otherwise, everything’s just grand.
Awwwwwww this is so sweet and amazing. You are amazing Chaka – the way you write is so fantastic and wonderfull, I love this…..Sorry to hear about your lack off time to write, but post what you can and I will definitely read :o))……Oh by the way I totally understand Bettes hesitation towards Devon, but I hope the 3 off them will work it out….Have a great weekend and thank you for this :o))
I hope Devon doesn’t cause any trouble. I think Bette’s jealousy could die if she expresses her wish of being Jessie’s other mum and Tina agrees.
this chapter is great, i love that B&T are getting together slowly…i hope devon won’t try to contest his parental rights…
Thanks for posting this wonderfully long chapter C…I know how tired you probably were by the end of this!! I agree with everyone else and hope that Devon doesn’t try to contest anything!
sweetttttttttt becareful tina watch out for devon
I’m a little apprehensive about Devon myself. Chaka…Have I told you how much I love Friday’s. I hope life doesn’t get in the way of your writing too much…thank you for this story!!!
This makes my Fridays bearable. Thank you!
sheesh thank goodness that Tina had pares drawn up. so devon can’t claim to anything!!!! UPDATE SOON…YA HEAR!!!!!!
I see no problem with Devon wanting to spend some time with Tina and Jessie as long as he remembers to keep some distance.
That was an amazingly beautiful chapter. I can understand Bette being apprehensive of Devon’s desire to be in Jessie’s life. When he was looking at Jessie, he kept seeing her as his “daughter.” He wants to be in her life, but in what capacity? He agreed to be a donor, but I think he’s going to want to be an active figure in her life. I think Bette senses that is where he’s leaning towards. Love how B & T are taking it slowly and reconnecting. Thanks so much for this lovely chapter…later.
Lovely! I love this story, it’s one of the best on the site!!
