Bette settled in with a beer and the rest of the crowd. This was an interesting mix of people that only Shane could truly bring together. You had butch, sassy, preppy/yuppie and just plain strange all gathered in Shanes living room as they watch, cheered and yelled at the refs as the first game came to a close. With a break between games Bette got up and used the restroom. Exiting the bathroom Bette walked across the house to the window which faces her old house. From this vantage Bette could see Tinas garden along the pool. It looks glorious as Tina obviously was giving it her loving care as well as everything else about the house. Bette could see a light on in what she guessed was Annas room. What a surprise today. Wow Im going to have an active part in Annas life. What should I do first? These were the thoughts Bette was deep into when Shane walked up.
Hey you look happy. After last night I didnt expect you to be doing so well. Whats up? Shane asked looking at Bette and seeing the smile on her lips.
God I had the most amazing day today. I cant even describe it to you. Bette begins and proceeds to try and describe her mystery appointment and how it turned in the magical afternoon with Tina and Anna.
So Anna Elizabeth has captured another heart. For being such a young thing she sure gives me a run for my money. Shane says with a teasing jab.
Yeah she has but you know she already had my heart. Hey Shane do you think Tina used Elizabeth for me? Bette finally voiced the question that had been in her mind since the moment she had heard Annas name.
Youll have to ask Tina but in my opinion yes. Its one of those free gifts and we all know that in this world there arent many of those. Shane says with remarkable thought.
Bette thinks about this for a moment and then comments You mean like those supposed free lunches that never turn out to be free?
Yeah like those, you know its rare to find something thats free thats really free. I mean not even in basketball are things free. Even free throws come at the cost of some elbow in the jaw or ribs or some slap across the wrist. I mean I think Tina named Anna a little after you because it was part of the unconditional love she wanted to give you. Shane says all this getting a little deep.
Bette thinks about this for a moment and then responds matching the depth of Shanes tone Shane unconditional love becomes interesting. Is unconditional love free? Maybe if youre giving it but if youre receiving it its not free. NO it comes at a price and that price for me to was in part honesty, total and complete honesty to the giver. Its something that I havent always wanted to pay before keeping a part of myself walled off, safe. Now I realize that what a small price to pay for the rewards you get in return. I would gladly pay it now. Bette says this mostly to herself as some sort of promise to herself.
Shane just nods her head with a look of awe on her face. This Bette never ceases to amaze her with her depth of honesty she is now willing to expose. Come on the second game is beginning.

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.

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!
