Tina handed Bette the water and Bette barely had a sip before Jessie
grabbed her hand and shouted “Come see, come see” Jessie went barreling
down the hall and up the stairs full speed taking Bette with her. Bette
did as she was told enjoying every minute. At the end of the hallway
they entered a large bedroom. It had big bay like windows and over
looked a gorgeous backyard with a pond and apple trees. “you are the
one from the picture” Jessie pointed and sure enough there on Tina’s
dresser was a photo they had professionally done soon after they were
married. “Yes, Jessie that is me my name is Bette, well actually it’s
Elizabeth like your middle name.”
Bette sat at the foot of the bed and Jessie leaped up on the bed beside
her – a thousand question were whirling in Bette’s mind.. When? How?
Why did she not know? Did Alice know? It was pretty obvious that
Jessie’s father was African American and Bette wondered who he was and
if Tina was dating a man now or married.
“There you are” Tina said with a smile in her voice “Mommy did you know
that Bette and I have the same name?” “Yeah” Bette said with a big grin
waiting for a reply. “Yes, I did know that.. when I was pregnant with
you Jess I knew I wanted you to have that name like my friend Bette
here” “Where do you come from?” Jessie said looking up at Bette again
with wonder and questioning on her face. “Well, I live in California
it’s a bit far away but we have lots of sunshine and pretty beaches” “I
love the beach, maybe we can go some time”
“Ok, Jess – I came home because Nancy said you were upset and would not
take a nap and you still need a nap young lady” “You left without
saying bye mommy” “I’m sorry sweetheart, let’s get you ready for nap”
Tina scooped Jessie up and headed down hall “Bette, come please” Jessie
shouted back down the hall. Jessie’s room was just what you would
imagine from Tina. Antique furniture, walls painted with clouds, angels
and doves and lots of stuffed bears and another bay window with a
reading bench.
Bette enjoyed reading a story with Tina and Jessie and slowly Jessie
drifted off to sleep holding Bette’s hand. Tina and Bette left quietly
and headed back downstairs. Bette sat down quietly knowing that Tina
would fill in the details. “I guess you have plenty of questions?”
“Actually T, I just want to listen and you tell me whatever you would
like me to know or feel like sharing” Tina was sitting close to Bette
and turned to face her – she wanted to make certain Bette understood
everything she was about to say.
“When I left LA my heart was broken in so many places, and after being
in Hawaii for a short time, I realized that there was one dream I did
not want to give up on – having a child.” “And Jessie’s father? Is he
apart of your life?” “No Bette, Jessie’s father was a donor, a friend I
made in Hawaii who donated to sperm bank.” “He’s an artist, musician
and very smart” “Does Alice know about Jessie?” “NO! And it was so hard
to this secret but I wanted to be the one to tell you about her if we
ever came in contact again, after all we went through losing our baby..
I feared you would be hurt” “Well, you don’t know me very well How
could I want anything but for you to be happy?” And Bette took Tina’s
hand reassuring her “I am deeply happy for you Tina” Tina let out a big
sigh and her eyes became teary.
There was a momentary silence and Bette too looked teary eyed. “She’s
angelic Tina” “She is quite taken with you – honestly, I have never
seen her so instantly take to someone” Bette smiled and blushed a bit.
“I’m pretty taken with her also” “I hope it does not bother you that I
gave her your name?” “I am touched and honored that you give your
daughter my name”
Bette’s mind was racing trying to fit all this in..
“I should get going and check on the store but I would like to have you
Kit over for dinner” Are you staying tonight? “Yes, and then leaving
before lunch” “Ok, well don’t tell Kit about Jessie – I want to
surprise her too” They both laughed at the thought of getting back at
Kit. “And we can celebrate your birthday” Bette smiled letting Tina
know that she had not forgotten. “Thank you, it will make for a special
birthday. Let’s get going before Jessie wakes up”

OMG! If not naming her daughter after Bette, even if it is her middle name, doesn’t show the love she still has for Bette then I don’t know what does. Beautiful chapter. Post Soon!
