    Forged in Fire: Chapter 2

    Bette shook her head. “No. No, it isn’t.”

    “Why? Why would you think that? You love her, right?”

    “Very much. But Tina is not ready for that. She is in complete denial about everything. I don’t know if she really wants to marry me or if she just wants to erase everything her father has done. Is it about us or is it about her guilt? I want her to want me. Just me. I don’t want to be what she’s running to.”

    Kit squeezed her sister’s thighs. “Oh, I see. Is that what you really think?”

    “Kit, my wife just died. Tina’s husband just died. I think that she and I need time to mourn and adjust. With your being here and all this shit with her father, she and I have been made into this instant family.”

    Kit frowned. “And you don’t want that?”

    “Honestly?”

    “Yes.”

    Kit couldn’t see it, but Bette’s eyes lit up when she next spoke. Her voice was full of warmth and softness. “I love every minute of it. I love helping Dylan with his homework. I love Tina cooking our meals and washing clothes. I love putting Dylan to bed at night. And I love how they spend their Saturday mornings making breakfast and bonding. I love all of it,” said Bette.

    “So what’s the problem?”

    “What if she doesn’t? What if this is just an escape for her? I’m afraid,” said Bette.

    “Afraid of what?”

    Bette sighed and finished the braid in her hands, tying a rubber band around the end.

    “That when her bubble of protection bursts, she’ll wake up and realize she’s not ready. That she needs time to heal.”

    “Hmm,” said Kit. She settled back against her sister and was quiet.

    “What was that? What does ‘Hmmm’ mean?”

    “Just thinking.”

    “What about?”

    Kit shrugged. “Even if she does need time to heal. That doesn’t mean she’ll need that time away from you. You have both been through a lot. I think you need to just sit down together and talk this through. Tell her your fears.”

    Bette nodded. “You think so?”

    “Yes, Baby Sis. I do.”

    1. Sister knows best….yes, Bette, if you and Tina are going to make a sound relationship, you both have to talk about everything – hopes, goals, fears, and uncertainties. Tina must understand that none of this is her fault. And avoiding Bette by increase work commitments will not strengthen their relationship.

      And Dylan is ten years old. He needs to see his mom during this healing process. She will never be the person she was before the accident. Is it really best for him to see his mother as healthy and whole and then 2 or 3 months and see her in a wheel chair? I would rather have the child see them working in therapy so they can see the journey the parent has been on. with emphasis that things are getting better. Dylan has lost weight?. This is an indication that he is stressed and worried. Consult with a doctor as to how to reduce stress on this child.

    2. Thank you for the chapter!

      So, i’m very interesting how Tibette will cope with Tina work journey to New York. And Tina sold her house already? Ok, now she lives with Bette to spend time with Dylan but what she’s planning to do after Kit would better and he go home with his mother?
      And again – for me sound strange that son don’t want see his mother in hospital

    3. Thanks for posting! Drama in the making. I wonder what will happen if… no.. when Bette loses her cool or patience with Tina’s avoiding techniques. Will Tina withdraw herself or will she finally breakdown and face her fears, the guilty feeling? I just hope that this won’t damage their relationship beyond repair.

      I hope that Kit will change her mind about Dylan not visting her. I would guess that her son is stronger than she gives him credit for. Is Tina doing the right thing by keeping Dylan in this bubble of protection?

      Kit is so right. Tina needs to hear what Bette is feeling and fearing. There are going to be some crucial moments in the next chapters.
      Looking forward to it.
