Bette had found Tinas account of the afternoon interesting as she had also gotten Jackies. What amazed Bette was how well Tina had hidden her suspicions from Jackie. Jackie was left with the impression that she had pulled the whole thing off fairly well when in fact Tina had her suspicions its just that she was confident enough to know her own mind that she would never tip her hand. Well Tina tell me first of all are you even remotely interested in the job, I mean is it something that you would be happy doing? Bette begins as she has decided to play this straight up. By that she has decided to act as a sounding board for Tina to help her clarify her own thoughts surrounding this offer and let Tina make up her own mind. The last thing Bette wants is for Tina to be left with the impression that Bette pressured her into a decision.
Actually I think I would. I mean as far as I understand the job it could be quite challenging but you know I think I would like the challenges. Tina honestly answers.
Well then if thats the case why dont you make a list of all the pros and cons. I mean I realize that some matters have a greater weight than others but at least by putting it all down on paper you will feel you have given each situation proper weight. Bette suggests.
Tina likes this idea and goes into the house to come back with a legal pad which she can make her list. Well you know the positives are so easy to put together I mean the center will make out by getting and additional half million dollars and that is something that makes me feel good. And my God the salary is almost double what I make now not to mention that the benefits will be fabulous. Well I guess thats not nearly as important due to you Bette and I thank you for that by the way. Also I really think I would like the challenges that this type of position would bring. I think the whole thing would be fun, hard but fun. Tina starts to list all the positives out loud.
Getting up and putting Anna in the playpen Bette says, Hey give me that pad and Ill take the notes for you. Bette offers as Tina is talking and not writing. Laughing Tina hands the pad to Bette.
You know the biggest problem with the job will be my time away from Anna. It just that my choices lately have been between what is good for what Im doing at work and what is good for Anna. So far she has been on the short side of these decisions. I need to change that.
Tina you know that if I may offer Im available anytime you need someone for Anna. Bette offers without even having to think about it.
Tina just smiles at this God Bette you are a puzzle. Thanks but I think we have already taken advantage of your good will. Tina is beginning to reject Bettes offer when she interrupts.
No Tina really. Earlier you called me Annas other Mother. Please let me be that. I will soon have all my afternoons free and if you wouldnt mind I would love to come here and be with Anna. I love her so much. Bette says the last past slowly and with emotion.
Tina stops short at that last part and looks hard at Bette. Bette was sharing her emotions with Tina freely. As Tina continues on with her silence Bette begins to squirm a little maybe Tina was not serious about me being Annas other Mom. Maybe she was just trying to make me feel good. Maybe I have gone too far telling her how I feel.
Seeing the fear begin to come into Bettes eyes pulled Tina into responding. God Bette I think that is maybe the first time you have ever freely share an emotion with me when we werent in the act of making love. Im sorry for making you have any doubts you just surprised me. No come everyday if you want. I .. I mean you are welcome here.

very good- waiting for more and thanks!
You know I love your story; youer pacing ins great — just enough to keep us wanting and returning to read more. Enjoy your trip and I’m sure that when you return there’ll be enough “hot monkey love” between Bette and Tina to keep a Fanatic satisfied.
AHHH!! I LOVE IT! Wow, okay I was really really nervous about this, but it seems to be going well. So, be kind I don’t want any disturbing developments!
Well, I’m glad to hear that I can atleast put a smile on someone’s face=D “Hello, looks like you have a knack for making all the good looking woman come a running for you young lady.†I see we have a lil’ MacMomma in training here=P…It seems like the roles have switched…Bette seems to be the one always sharing her emotions and feelings…Tina on the other hand is still somewhat distant and cold towards Bette…I truly hope that in the end, they rediscover that connection that they once had…excellent chapter as usual Jwet!!…Hope you have a nice trip=D
Great chapter, Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do on your trip LOL Have fun
Is it just me or do you think that Tina is going to crack up when she finds out Bette is behind this scheme. I think she will feel as if she is controlling her and she will be hurt.
Jwet, you are amazing! This story is beyond great and just keeps getting better with every post! I love how you’re able to convey all of their emotions, expressions, mannerisms, etc. within each chapter…I feel as though I’m actually watching rather than reading each one. Thanks for all the time and effort that you so obviously put into each installment. I can’t say it enough-I love this story!!!
That was a great chapter…HAVE A SAFE TRIP WE WILL MISS YOU …PLEASE POST SOON
First, have a good trip :) and thank you for a great chapter. Will Tina allow her to be Anna’s other Mom? All the emotions they are holding back from one another are so on the edge..
You write this chapter so right. B&T deserve so much to be together but you’ll do it when you’ll want it. Thank you
A very delightful chapter. I’m so enjoying this and you can feel the love surging to the surface. Thank u Jwet
Damn I hope Tina will tell Bette soon that she want Bette back and be together. Good chapter post soon, than you! Oh you have a good trip!
it just gets better every day, seriously! i just keep willing someone to lean forward and kiss the other one. would be quite nice :D
As they inch closer together… Bette, don’t worry about crossing lines…cross them all. Cross the boundaries. Scribble outside the lines. Tina, I know you’re nervous and there’s a lot going on right now, but wouldn’t having a partner at home more help allay some of those fears, esp. as you enter your new job?
I’ll miss my early morning fix, Jwet, but I hope you have a good and safe trip.
please don’t say that we are getting to a point where Tina wants Bette back but Bette just wants to be friends………that can’t happen, they must be together!!
*you are welcome here* sigh….that was so sweet.
What are the withdrawal symtoms again?
Thanks for continuing with the story and Have a safe and fun trip.
wow! i’m praying for Bette and ina to cross the line (lol). Can’t wait for the next post. Thanks you. It’s great
How long? How long? How long before they fall into each other’s arms?
You make the waiting interesting and fun.
See you when you get back! Thanks!
As always, a beautiful chapter looking forward to the re-connection, as you have promised, let us hope you will post the next chapter soon.
great chapter, I think if you keep them at the pace you are setting, everything will fall in place. Time is all they need
Well done, well done. Bette is playing this perfectly.
I’m with Roxy, I’ve been willing them to kiss. Ah. This was, as always, great.
Dang! A whole week huh? Well do have a safe trip and if it’s for work, I hope you can find a moment to enjoy the place. As for the story,it’s giving me hope. Like I said my life parallels the story somewhat…We are trying, things are looking good. Complete trust is some time off but at least the understanding is coming back…the knowing glances and silent comments are slowly returning. Our comfort level is getting better. It’s been a really challenging time because I don’t want to go back to where we were, instead I want to end up in some place new. So that involves a lot of soul-searching and changing. Though hard for me, it’s worth it if it means we’ll be together…the things we do for true love!!!
I love it BUT I think if Bette is going to be involved in Anna life she has to let Tina see her feelings and emotions… Please keep going this is a wonderful story…
Cooking Bette’s favourite meal, yum yum… slowly letting Bette back in…going over the pros and cons with Bette re the job offer…what a FANTASTIC JOB you are doing… have a good week away and look forward to updates when you get back.
Thank you.
It’s getting better and better hey Jwet I love it Thank you for that it’s really nice that you always post it again I’m really appeciate you’re writing for us Thank you this Story really warmer for us Please post soon.
Great chapter — Tina starting to trust – Bette starting to share emotions — helping each other enjoy their lives – doesn’t get better than that — I will miss the morning fix but have a great trip — thanks
Best lines for me are:
“Tina said “Bette… I don’t know how to deal with you …I mean sometimes when you are close to me I …—
Absolute bliss, finally Tina has admitted to Bette that their spark is still there, abet just a tiny flame but with some gentle nourishing a forest fire may develop. An all-consumming and passionate inferno that neither party can ignore.
Second on is:
“Tina paused to realize that this is what a family really feels like.”
JWet, you have put such a big grin on my face today. Have a safe journey and enjoy you trip. Acknowledging the fact that your fans will be awaiting your return.
As for the story, queries today include:
Has Anna a future in interior design or as a talcum powder artist or pro wrestler?
Do Bette and Tina like tests with results you can tally?
Did Irene go over to Shane’s?
Will Bette do daycare?
As ever return to this location for these and other questions to be answered soon!
A loyal Fan.
great again – God Bette I think that is maybe the first time you have ever freely share an emotion with me when we weren’t in the act of making love. I’m sorry for making you have any doubts you just surprised me. No come everyday if you want. I .. I mean you are welcome here.†ouch – yet sweet at the same time. great job! enjoy the trip!
I have just fallen in love with this story. More so than the show itself. WOW that’s saying something. As much as I want the story to bring them together. I love ready it so much I don’t want it to end. Thank you for putting so much into it.
hehe! I love Rbeedee’s comments!
Damn!What am I gonna do when you’re out of town?…sulk, pray, cry?…hurry back. Have a safe journey however. Greetings from London!
I love this story…it is so complete. Can’t wait for more.
OMG this is taking so long..why they dont simple say Bette i love you..and Tina i love you too very much and i have no more fears.. i´m sad about these situation.. but was a great chapter as always
I love the way you are playing out the tension of the situation between Bette and Tina. You give just the right of insight into each character without overdoing it. You also leave the reader with a sense of suspense that makes them come back which makes this one of the two stories I religiously look for on this board. Well done!
