“And what would you know about ‘the best’, Kit?” Bette snapped. “You could have been the best, but you trashed your life with drugs and alcohol! You chose to throw away the potential benefits of your talents!”
Kit, not expecting that low blow, paused before responding. She took a deep breath and continued, “But you know that’s in the past—now, I own a successful business, have been clean and sober for well over a year and a half, and things are really looking up for me! How about you—what have you got? The way you describe it, a house with little love, except from a baby that barely made it into this world. No job. A girlfriend who disses you every chance she gets—and some of it is deserved—don’t even try to deny it! Your friends don’t even know how to deal with you and Tina right now—they want you back together, but not like what they see.”
“What have they said to you?” Bette‘s brow furrowed, and she started gearing up for the attack she was sure to follow.
“That’s not for me to say—they’re all grown! But the tension is hard to watch, Bette—I see it all the time. I’ve been around the block a bit longer than you, so I can read between the lines. Clean up your house, Bette, and make sure you don’t exclude Tina in the process! You know you fucked up big time with your hammer-girl! As far as I know, you two never really talked about what that was all about…”
Bette rolled her eyes at yet another Kit-conceived nickname for Candace. “Well, it came up today, that’s for sure, and it was a fucking disaster!”
“That’s what happens when you wait so long to deal with something like that! It was gonna be a hard conversation, whenever it happened, but it’s probably worse now that you tried to act like everything was hunky-dory when you decided to set up house together again.”
“It’s like she doesn’t appreciate everything I’ve done for her–“
“Now, wait a minute—stop right there! This is the second time you’ve said something about her lack of appreciation. Tell me this, Baby Girl—when was the last time you showed her some appreciation? When have you even considered the fact that she took a big step moving back in with you in spite of your apparent silent agreement to not rock the boat. Did you really just expect her to accept you back as if nothing had happened?”

Great Update Sweetie………Kit a voice of reason………I really feel that they really, really need to finished this conversation. But then again this little alone time can be very helpful. They can think about what the other said and take heed to it. PLEASE DON’T TAKE TO LONG to post.And who is knocking on the window? Alice? Shane? Helena? or Candace?It better be TINA! ILU
This was really well written. Excellent dialogue. Please post sooner b/c it is such a good story and you’ve been missed.
Verrrrry nice update, Arr. Quite authentic as always. Ok, I’m considering dusting off my FFA card. Let me echo, PPS.
I haven’t commented in awhile but I gotta come out of hiding and say great update and well worth the wait.Thank goodness for Kit is right Probie.It better be Tina at the door.
Great chapter, nice to see Kit keeping her cool and making sense:-)And I am still chuckling from your nick name for Candace – ‘hammer girl’, its up there with ‘butter boy’ ;-)
I hope its Tina banging on the car window….tunnel vision is such a male thing maybe being raised by her daddy Bette has real issues seeing a woman’s point of view…Great Great chapter PPS
Great story. I’m so glad Bette has Kit. .She has such a great ability to diminish Bette’s feelings and place most of the blame on Bette for Tina/Bette relationship problems. I’m curious are you going to make Tina come clean about her flirtation with Josh in this story? I really enjoy your writing and hope to see the story continued.
Who is that knock on the door, hope is Tina or Shane. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Hopefully it is Tina knocking on the window but my luck it is Shane or someone else. Thank goodness that Kit knows her sister and can be the voice of reason for her. Both are so messed up that they probably need a third party to get them to sit down and discuss all of their problems. Maybe Kit or Shane if they do not want to go to a therapist.
O.o I thought I had read this. Apparently I didn’t. :( I’m not sure throwing Bette out was the best thing for Tina to do, though it did lead to Bette calling Kit and getting a verbal kick in the ass from her.
I absolutely love this fic and I was wondering if you were going to finish it? I hope so!!!
I’m sorry…it’s been sooo long i had to re-read the previous chapters!! LOL Kidding!! Alright Arr…now while I agree with some of what Kit said…The moment Tina left Bette, and then asked to come back, puts forth thte fact that, the house is Bette’s. Tina thought it was amusing..that’s just downright rude. And although that Kit is right about some of her observations, we know that Bette tried talking with Tina when she was back. She tried to instigate chats with comparisons to books, and other ways, but TIna just shut her down. Maybe if Bette went on line and posed as a man Tina would have been more willing to talk with her! LOL That’s funny i should write that fic!!
Thank goodness for Kit. Hope Bette learns a few things from her sister’s experience. Great update even if it did take a long time.
yea, great update…lets just hope we don’t have to wait to see who came a knockin’.. ;)PPS!
Great update, as usual, Arr. I was definitely starting to miss your wonderful insight. I really appreciate the great time and effort you put into trying to fix our favourite couple . Can’t wait for your next chapter !
Kit is a very wise woman, in a relationship there is not only “I”, there need to be some “I” otherwise you lose your identity but the mayor part is about “We”. And certainly not how it became between Bette and Tina, meaning “You”. Don’t ever blame the the other for what’s going on, blame “We”. Everyone is vulnarable and everyone can make mistakes that only makes us human. Another great chapter arkaycee with a huge cliffhanger…it’s time that you take the time to write to next chapter. Ok, I’m in no position to say that but I think with me many others are waiting impatiently for you to continue. Get your sh!t together and write the next one NOW :-)
