Bette took a deep breath before she answered the door.
Dylan barreled into her with a warm hug. “Auntie Bette!” he yelled.
Bette staggered a little as she hugged him back, trying to hold her balance. “Hey Baby boy,” she said excitedly. “How are you?”
He nodded against her chest. “I’m good. Are you coming down to eat?” he asked.
Kit was with him. She was smiling at her sister. “Yes, inquiring minds would like to know,” she said.
Bette couldn’t help but smile in return. “You are clever dear sister. Using my favorite nephew as tribute to enter this room.”
Kit laughed. “Honey, I was born at night. But not last night! I know you had a visitor this morning and I did not want to get my head ripped off. I figured you wouldn’t hurt my baby.”
Bette kissed Dylan’s forehead. “Definitely wise in your old age.”
“Hey now!”
Dylan now leaned his back against Bette as he glanced between his mother and her sister. Bette’s hands were on her nephew’s shoulders. Kit really looked at Bette. “How are you, Baby Sis?”
Bette shrugged. “Numb? Did you know? Did you know she was here? And you didn’t tell me?”
Kit shook her head. “No, Baby Girl. I would never keep that from you. Mom told me this morning. I think she was feeling conflicted. She thought maybe seeing Janice might help you deal with the mess Daddy said yesterday.”
“Feels like I’m in the Twilight Zone.”
“I know it’s a shock, but trust me, it will get better.”
“You think so?” asked Bette.
Kit saw the fear and uncertainty of a much younger version of her sister reflected in the wide, brown eyes. It wasn’t a glimpse of Bette that she often saw. And it wasn’t one she wanted to become familiar with.
“I know so, Baby Girl.”
Bette was still frowning, her distrust in everything apparent in her face.
Dylan looked up at her and she finally smiled. “You okay Auntie Bette?” he asked.
Bette nodded at him. “I’m okay, Sweetie.”
Kit looked around. “Where’s your other half?”
Bette nodded toward the bedroom. “She’s in the bathroom. Almost ready. We’ll be down in a few.”
“Promise?” asked Dylan.
She smiled at him. “I Promise.”
“Aunt Tina, too?”
“Yes, Little Man. Aunt Tina, too. We’ll both be there,” she said.
He clapped his hands. “Yes! I want to sit next to Aunt Tina!”
Bette smiled. “I will pass along your request. We’ll see you both soon.”
Kit winked at her before she and Dylan left. Bette closed the door behind her and walked back into the bedroom to check on Tina.
She knocked gently on the bathroom door. “Baby, they’re gone.”
Tina cracked the door, one hazel eye peeking out. “It’s safe?”
Bette chuckled. “Yes, it’s safe.”
The door opened fully and Tina fell into Bette’s arms. She hugged her tightly before placing a tender and chaste kiss upon Bette’s lips. “Okay. Let’s go get breakfast. You behave.”
Bette kissed her in return. “You have my word. I will behave. And you’ll keep me safe?”
”Always,” Tina replied.

Wow!!! Mom has returned. I didn’t see this coming. I’m addicted to this series. My request is longer chapters. It goes by so quickly. Fantastic job.
Thank you for the chapter !
If I remember correct – Bette’s mother left her in young age without even a word. And than Bette met her after more than 10 years, n her 19 Age old and even not confronted her mother about why she did it? Seems strange to me.
But ok – interesting how they breakfast could go.
Well, Janice’s return was at least more pleasant than Melvin’s chastising Bette the night before. Glad to see that she seems to accept that Bette is a lesbian and she was pleasant to Tina. Melvin has yet to acknowledge Tina as a part of Bette’s life. I know that Bette is absolutely stunned and that anger is a natural response under the circumstance. My advice is to take one step at a time and see what develops. There is bound to be a reason why Janice would keep up with Bette yet not try to see her. It may not be an acceptable reason, but Bette needs to take the time to find out. Bette needs some kind of relationship or some kind of closure with her mother. A relationship will take time.
In the meantime, Bette and Tina need to talk about what happened at Tina’s job and the tensions going on there. Bette needs to know that Tina is willing to sacrifice her job for their relationship. It will give Bette a greater appreciation for how committed Tina is.
Great story…. one of my favorites.. Look forward to reading more..
Another unexpected turn of the plot, MTS. Didn’t think Bette’s mom would be a part of this “dimension” of the story. Great how you write Bette from stunned to happy to angry. That’s a lot to process.
I hope there will be an explanation from Janice for her leaving. Maybe she will reveal that Melvin cheated on her multiple times, maybe even abused her (at least verbally) and threatened her in some way hadn’t she left immediately and without Bette. Like SassyGran I don’t like Melvin.
His sudden apologetic behaviour on one day and then the usual Melvin-reaction after the service made me want to slap his face. I’d say he thought he could be generous in accepting Bette’s marriage to Sidney because now that she died he wouldn’t be confronted with the woman at his daughter’s side.
Too bad that there’s Tina now.
Hopefully Bette and Tina will get some time to talk with Bette’s mother.
I’m with Martha on the job thing. Tina needs to talk to Bette about the situation. Even if…no when she will solve the situation smoothly and her boss will forget that he put her job on the line Bette should know about Tina’s pressure at work.
Love it, love it, love it. Your story is part of my vacation entertainement – who needs Hawaii when there are so many fantastic Tibette writers like you who provide constant reading supplies :-)
cheers

Well, there’s a twist!
Thanks for the post, looking forward to more

First my favorite two lines…
“She just appears like Mary Fuckin’ Poppins! What in the fuck. ????????
Tina’s legs fully wrapped themselves around her lover’s body as the flower between her legs began to open and beckon for Bette’s tender embrace.????????????
The flower was a nice touch. I love descriptive words.. lol
Loved that Mom just showed up and has been watching over her from a distance. Sad she did show again after their last meeting that’s a long stretch especially if Patricia knew how Bette was she could have used her much sooner.
But still a very nice chapter. Breakfast will be interesting.. just hope Bette keeps her anger in check long enough to hear everything. But you know there’s always Drama. Thank you. And go fucking study!????
