Bette and Anna were happily splashing in the bathtub as
Bette was relieved to see Anna a little happy.
Bette had experienced as little success as Irene when she tried to feed
Anna. She just didn’t want anything to
do with food. Giving up, Bette went to
the freezer and grab an ice cube and held on to one end let Anna suck on
it. Bette was trying to rub it across
Anna’s gums but all she succeeded in doing was get the front of Anna all wet.
Figuring that she might as well get all of her wet Bette
decided it was bath time. Anna has
always loved the water and today was no different as she splashed and played
with Bette until her little feet were water logged and wrinkly.
“Ok Sweety, we need to get you out of here and dried off”
Bette says as she grabs a big towel and lifts Anna up out of the tub. “Yes lets get you all dried off and into your
pjs huh? Would you like that Anna?”
Bette asks as Anna grabs for her mouth with one hand and holds onto her boob
with the other. “That’s my girl just
like your mother a boob woman.” Bette laughs which causes Anna to smile and
laugh. “Come on let’s go to your room.”
With that Bette takes Anna to her room and gets her ready
for bed. Still thinking she was missing
something Anna just didn’t want to go to sleep.
Bette picked up her favorite book ‘Monkeys on Parade”, sat down in the
rocker and began to read to Anna. Anna
had her head resting on Bette’s chest as her alto tones soothed Anna. Just as Bette began to think that Anna was
asleep, she would jerk her head as if shaking it to stay awake.
“What’s wrong baby, are you waiting for Mommy to come
home? I’m sorry not tonight but I swear
you will see her tomorrow.” Bette says as she continues to rocks, turning the
page and begins reading again.
After a half hour of this Bette is certain this time that
Anna is asleep. Carefully Bette gets up
and lays Anna down, pulling out the blanket and covering her up.
“Good night honey sleep tight.” Bette whispers as she kisses
her first two fingers and then presses them to Anna’s forehead.

Jwet youre so mean to me.. it was necessary all that torture with Tina coming home?? i thought she would lose the car control any minute..lol..gezz..Bette with Anna was just cute..ok i have to prepare myself to next chapter????humm..what your evil mind is ploting???..lol..great..tender and scary chapter post soon thanks :o)
We all have those days but still the real focus is connection with those we love.. thank you, the story was a good reminder. And you know I adore Bette and Anna – so sweet.
Okay, i feel the drama coming on. For a minute there I though Tina was going to get into an accident! Great chapter as always.
Woo, I am so glad that Tina got home safe and sound. Bette is so loving and cute with Anna, please post again soon.
JWet,
And still the chocolate merry-go-round continues. Why is it something so bad tastes soo good?
So now back to this marvellous melodrama.
The simplicity of these last three chapters covering a single day demonstrates your talent and skills as a writer. You entrance your audience by making the mundane and uneventful, exciting and thrilling. I was thinking that there may be more to this day than previously foretold. Was Tina going to have a life-threatening accident? But not you had her drop her cell phone and portray the reality of her day along with this basic frustration.
It was so welcoming to have Bette at home and the mother hen with her concerns for Tina while Tina followed her demanding career and did the right thing for the foundation.
Questions include:
Why is it you plan to finish early and then someone makes it impossible to so? Why does someone rapping on your car window always scare the be-Jesus out of you? How come your phone is always just out of your range? Will Bette get Tina a Bluetooth “hands free” kit for her cell phone? Was Angelica teething or just missing her Mom? How wet did Bette did get herself while bathing the baby? Does Bette wear a hair net, curlers and an apron when she it the mother hen? How do you just sense when your lover has returned?
Enjoy your weekend as I hope it is wicked or wonderful or both.
Thank you as always.
Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is safe *a sigh of relief* This chapter was full of tension. You did a really great job with it. thanks
Whew!!! *makes a swipe across brow* If you were tryng to give me an anxiety attack you were successful! Shit! That was so ominous and “doomsy” I was uncomfortable as hell! Thanks jwet for that wonderful experience! lol! Now I’ll go walk on broken glass or shove toothpicks under my nails to mix up the fun!
Lovely chapter JWET..THANK YOU..
i get giddy when i see youve posted. i know that i will be richly rewarded.
“the warmth of her home hits her as she opens the door bringing a smile to tinas face. being home with her family is worth every minute of her long day.” know that feeling well. its the little things.
this chappy had it all. care, concern, love and tension.
take care this weekend and thanks.
Thank god Tina is ok you had us thinking all the way through the story that something was going to happen, I breathed a sigh of relief when she got home
It’s nice to see Tina gaining confidence in herself in her new position with the foudation. She is similar to Bette in that she too, loves her work.
Tina is a caretaker, and that came through again in her willingness to accommodate one of the meeting participants.
Kids can be pretty astute, I think that Anna’s routine was skewed when she was not able to see Tina the entire day.
I thought it was interesting that not only was Tina’s phone just out of reach, but so was Bette…at least for the day.
It seems that Bette and Tina need the physical proximity to each other for their communication to be the most effective.
Glad Tina got home safely and that the loooooooooong day has come to and end.
Bette is going to have a hard time finding a new assig. Helene is so full of her self. Payback is hell. Was worry about Tina driving home by her self. Just glad she got home. thanks
I’m relieved, just like Tina, that she is home. Another nice chapter. I still have that ominous feeling though…
geez..i kept thinking something was going to happen to Tina. It was a great chapter and can’t wait for the next.
As always such a wonderful story, looking forward to your next chapter.
aawww… i just love how bette is when she’s around anna..btw, pls do leave some chapters behind… you can’t just leave us on “dry spell” to long! LOL

okay I THANK U 4 NOT LETTING ANYTHING HAPPEN TO TINA!!!!!!!! U really had me there. POST SOON!!!!!!!!
I was holding my breath several times, once when “someone knock on her door”; again when she “took her legs off the brakes” reaching for the phone; again when she pulled over to call Bette and last when she pick up her hamburger and eating while driving! So, I’m so thankful that I can finally exhale when she walked into her home. aaaahhhhhh.
Wonderful warm feeling in my heart now. Thanks so much.
Would it be begging if I’m hoping for another chapter this week/weekend?????
