Chapter 18 – Free Lunches
Bette was lost in the glory of this time which seemed so dreamlike. If someone would have clued her in that today she would be rewarded with these treasured gifts of Anna and Tinas time and companionship she would have called them a fraud. Tina had bestowed a huge gift to Bette today and Bette still couldnt quite wrap her mind around the total impact of this gift. Tina wanted Bette in Annas life and the sky was the limit so to speak in how this would take place. Bette still had many questions for Tina, she was torn between wanting to get all these questions on the table and into the light of day yet not wanting to push Tina into changing her mind by being too heavy with questions. Despite the request to be friends, there was a tangible awkwardness between Tina and Bette. Their normal in sync flow has been interrupted and they were definitely not in tune anymore. For once Bette wasnt going to push this. In the past she would have demanded an explanation and some definition of expectations but all that would accomplish right now is put these two further out of reach. Bette was content to just let these develop in Tinas time and definition, just grateful for any moment she would get.
All these thoughts were running in the background of Bettes mind as she sat there playing with Anna as she moved from her rattle to her cloth book to her little stuffed Winnie the Pooh, taking each toy in her little hand. Anna would shake, tasted and then toss each toy to the side. When they were all gone she would look at Bette with those large brown eyes and begin to push her lower lip out until Bette would retrieve all her toys and put them in a pile in front of her so she can go through the whole process again. This was maybe the 10th or 12th cycle of this playing with Anna before Bette heard her cell going off interrupting the moment. Looking up to Tina who was just watching the two of them interact together, Bette silently apologized and went looking for her cell in her purse. Not able to retrieve her cell before the call rolled to voice mail, Bette looked down and saw that it was Shane. Looking at her watch she realized that it was late in the afternoon and she hadnt called Shane back yet. Damn.

Wow that was a great chapter…I l;ike the free unconditional love part..Please post soon
WOW JWET I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH LOVE PLEASE POST SOON
It was a start, Bette is getting so smart in her old age. Maybe Shane wisdom is rubbing off on her.
such a lovely story
“unconditional love”…..WOW, Jwet!! Totally awesome….my, my how you can write…I can really feel the emotions of B&T (and Shane too)!. This is BEAUTIFUL (sniff, sniff)GREAT…WONDERFUL…MARVELOUS…AWESOME (oops, already said that)…OK, I’m running out of adjectives….and I need more Kleenex. Anxiously awaiting more chapters :-O
My that was fantastic. More soon please!
Very nice (no kiss) but I kind of felt (no kiss) that it was missing something (kissing James doesn’t count).
And Bette…don’t tell her you gave up any rights. Not that you had any rights to begin with (cold hard truth…no kiss), but you certainly don’t want to concede anything of the kind.
And, in a final (pervy) comment, Tina should do a little breastfeeding while Bette’s around. I’m just sayin’…
Yet again you have deliver the goods. Fabulous and consistently amazing.
Like that Bette is gaining wisdom *finally* and enjoying the gift of her daughter.
Glad that Tina realises the important part pace deserves in her and Anna’s lives.
Can’t wait to see where youtake me next.
Fantastic fan fiction. Keep on, keeping on.
A major league fan of your work.
Thank You! This was really wonderful. I could see all so clearly.. them in the park with Anna. I look forward to them becoming a more of a family.
Enjoyed this chapter very much. I am looking forward to seeing what Bette has planned. I also noticed that we have choosen the same name for their “Baby?” I’ll be looking forward to the next update.
Great chapter…I like the debate about unconditional love…it can really tie you in a knot. Again, I wish the show would follow some of the storylines presented on this site…they seem so much more logical.
I am so happy for Bette. Yeah. I love this.

Beautiful, just beautiful!

Jwet, you always manage to pull at my heart strings. Bette with Tina and Anna is just so darn right!
Jwet… Wow! Just Wow is all i can say
This is good and now let see the love began again in our couple. Post soon, thank you!
Being in the west-west time zone; I don’t have any adjectives left for me to use for my comments! Unfair?!
I liked your vision of unconditional love. I’ve always thought of unconditional love was only from a parent to child; but I stand corrected!
Can’t wait for the next chapter!
