    Forged in Fire: Chapter 8

    Kit followed her visitor’s gaze. “I do. Lots of friends and artists I’ve worked with in the past. I have to admit, it’s nice to be surrounded by all of this. I think it’s helped in the healing process.”

    “Kit?” said Tina.

    The older Porter sister looked at the blonde.

    Tina continued. “Don’t you think it’s time for Dylan to visit?”

    Kit sighed. “I guess it is. I just don’t want to upset him.”

    Tina smiled. “When you were still in the coma, we would take him to visit you. He’d lie in the bed and try to get as close to you as he could. He was terrified that you would die. But he’s better now. I think it will only help him to hug you and know that you’re alright.”

    “Tina, this is hard for me. I love Dylan more than my own life. I just don’t want to mess him up.”

    Tina shook her head. “You won’t. You’re a great mom.”

    “My mother was a great mother, Tina. She did the very best she could to take care of me. To raise me the best she knew how. At times it felt like I had only one parent. I just never want to fail him.”

    The movie exec sighed. “You are just like your sister. The two of you put too much pressure on yourselves not to mess up. You will make mistakes. But Dylan isn’t a piece of glass. He won’t break. He’s pretty resilient.”

    Kit smiled. “I know. You’re right. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just feel overwhelmed.”

    “You’re not alone. You have your mother. You have Bette. And now you have me. Dylan has a whole little village of support around him.”

    “You are a blessing, Tina. You know that, right?” said Kit.

    Tina smiled, a blush creeping into her cheeks. “Thank you.”

    “I’m happy to have you in our family. You have brought a new light into our lives.”

    The hazel eyes teared and Tina’s lips trembled. Kit had rolled out a welcome of love and acceptance. It was comforting and refreshing. She’d just left the caustic presence of her birth family and it had been crippling and draining. With a few kind words and a warm smile, Kit had soothed the wounds caused by her earlier confrontation.

    1. No need in name calling now MTS “creeping random gents” lol.. JK. And I did not Tech-shamed you. .. You already had it and I just open the blinds Ok I’ll go read now. I like it when Tina is feisty. at least its and R which means it going to lead up to something Right?

    2. Good Chapter….. I think that I would have pointed out that if that car accident had happened the way Dad planned it, that it could have been Tina who was dead and Bette in rehab. Would it have made any difference that dear old dad killed his daughter to save her from a sinful life? And why would he kill Henry? What is the justification for killing Henry?

      I still cannot see why a fear of “messing up” Dylan would have kept Kit from seeing her son. He may not have needed therapy had he seen that she was no longer in a comma but gradually getting better. Six months is a long time to keep a child away especially when there is no real reason to do so. People do better dealing with what is, than what their imagination brings about. He had already seen her at her absolute worst, so seeing her on the mend would only be a positive. So they will finally be reunited. Hooray!

      Thanks for this chapter.. Look forward to more.

    3. Thank you for this chapter!

      I don’t agree with Tina about her family – yeah, with her hypocritical mother she is definitely not ready to make a peace, but with her sister? I don’t know but seems that they could find some common ground. If her sister will accept Tina’s relationship – maybe Tina could give her another chance.

      And i agree – time for Dylan to see his mother

    4. Hi MTS,

      I can’t hide anymore, especially after your request to be friends with me ????

      I have read this story from the beginning and it is fantastic. I still have to catch up with the other stories.

      Thank you!

    5. I like this determined and no-nonsense Tina, eh, Chris. Straight to the point, out with the truth.
      I don’t know what reality Sis Kait and Ma Kennard live in. But if even this terrible crime commited by Pa Kennard isn’t enough to at least change their tune to “live and let live” and be ashamed of what he did to Tina and the people in her life, Tina shouldn’t waste another word.

      Kaitlyn might be irritated by her mother’s religious tunes but she also dismisses Tina’s love for women as something like a pastime. I think I remember some strange comments from Kaitlyn at a family dinner (in your last book).
      Anyway I don’t believe that she wants to spend time with Tina. She only wants to make sure that the money from the family business keeps coming.

      Great moment at the hospital with Kit. I’d say it did wonders to both Kit and Tina. Looking forward to Dylan’s visit to his mother.
      Now I’m anxiously waiting for Tina to return home to Bette and tell her about both meetings.

      Thank you for posting!

      • Hey Kiwi…stop reading my thoughts!! Tina returning home to Bette is exactly the focus of the next chapter!

        And I agree. Sometimes you have to cut off those people that drain your joy. You might mend things later, but people should heal first.
