    Author Notes:

    Chapter 51 – Everything I Had Hoped For

    Why the smile Bette? You almost have me thinking you like hearing me go on endlessly about me. Tina says pulling Bette out of her thoughts.

    Oh Tina have I told you how proud I am of who you are? I mean I just get so blown away with all that you are. You know a wonderful mother, a confident Associate Director and a good friend. Bette says with a tone of awe in her voice that translates into sincerity and respect.

    Blushing slightly by the words and meaning that Bette is conveying Tina wants to take the spot light off of her Bette youre making me a little self conscious so why dont we talk about you for awhile. What have you decided about the CAC? Tina asks.

    Bette felt reluctant to move off of listening to Tina. She had been enjoying the conversation so much. Do we have to change places? It was so much more enjoyable listening to you than having me do all the talking. Bette protests.

    Tina starts laughing at Bette as she is saying thing this which prompts Bette to playfully pout a little.

    Just as Tina was about to call Bette on her little act the desert arrives with the waiter delivering the creation with the appropriate flair. Tina just gave Bette a quick promise Hey youre not off the hook. We will come back to you.

    Isnt this the most sinful desert you have ever seen? Bette innocently asks as she has already moved on.

    ***

    Irene was just completing Annas bath and had her all ready for night night. She had just finished snapping up her sleeper when she heard Shane calling.
    Shane was walking through the house calling Irene and Annas names, heading towards Annas room in search of the pair.

    Hey Shane were in here. Irene says.

    Shane pops her head around the door frame and smiles at the sight of Anna in Irenes arms. They were just sitting down in the rocking chair as Irene was going to rock her for a piece before putting her in the crib. Hey Shane says and enters the room.

    Seeing the look of awe at the smile that Anna is giving Shane Irene quickly changes plans and stands up. Hey Shane why dont you rock her for awhile. Im sure she would love it. Irene offers and Shane just looks with a huge smile and takes Anna in her arms.

    1. JWET, GREAT chapter. The dinner sounds fantastic, I could smell the different dishes from here. And that ‘sinful’ dessert….my, my it’s just the appetizer right??? The REAL dessert will be later this evening…right??….pweety please! (A girl can wish can’t she!)

    2. “you can either be here with me now or not but either way it won’t change the past.” — reading thismake me think: You really know the right thing to ‘say’!
      I’m really enjoying the ride. Doesn’t matter were you are taking us. tks Jwet.

    3. I felt obligated to comment because I want the writer to know I enjoy their story. Plus you always respond to the comments, that motivates me to comment.
      Now the comment:
      Awl sweet, I’m glad they are making progress. Shane does seem like she will a good mom. Can’t wait to see what aspect you’ll be writing about next. Good Job.

    5. Woo…two chapters Jwet…I’m falling behind on my readings again…hehe, no worries, I’ll catch up…loved this chapter…I’m so happy both of our girls can be in the “now” instead of the past=P…on to the next chapter!!

    9. Great start, so they are back on track,and finally admitted their feelings for one another. But have an inkling Bette’s meddling in Tina’s career is gonna come to fruition, and i don’t think Ms Kennard will take it too lightly? Hope I’m wrong? Let me be wrong Jwet. lol. Brill chapter as always!!

    11. Slacker’s having HMS tomorrow? Whoo hoo! Oh…you mean the story…it’s still good.
      I haven’t read yet, need to run, printed a copy to read/comment later. Thanks!

    12. They’re making progress! Will Tina find out that Bette was there during Anna’s birth?
      One note: If you could post the last paragraph of the previous chapter before you start the new one, like a ‘Previously on From Afar’ it would help us keep the thread of the story. Could you, please?
      Thanks for another engrossing chapter!
      BTW – Shane has to be the coolest friend around – discreet and loyal!

    13. Jwet, great chapter. But on a different note, I’d like to say ‘Thank You’ to you on behalf of all of us who offer comments. It’s a good feeling when the author takes time out to acknowledge their fans. Post soon!

    14. Goodie, goodie, gum drops: the date.
      And what a delightful, adorable and satisfying event it has turned into. No doubt due to your delectable and charming style. The love and generosity that Bette and Tina share just positively jumps off the screen. I am so ecstatic that Tina stood her ground and told Bette things straight. Tina has developed a back bone (in part due to Bette’s nurturing) but not at the cost of her compassion and kindheartedness. Bette’s apprehension and angst was quickly and quietly deal with. This allowed the characters (and story ) to move forward.
      Thank you for a wonderful chapter yet again. I am plowing through my thesaurus trying to come up with new plaudits and platitudes to bestow on you.
      Today’s food for thought:
      Where did Alpha Bette go? When will she raise her ugly and angry head? Has Tina added a pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle; while the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true? What is Irene’s sexual preference? Will Shane ever tell a secret?
      You’ll have to wait for the next chapter to see if any of these are answered.
      Tattie bye for now.
      Your Loyal Fan.
      PS – Yes, I do like Danny Kaye.

    15. As always fantastic..Good move on Shanes part..Tina will tell her.. and as far as the dinner please don’t leave us hanging. I can’t wait to see how you end this night..I Love this story as you can probably tell. Post soon please

    17. This chapter was beautiful as always Jwet. Sorry to the impregnator(glad you liked) will be making an appearance…but I see the necessity of it, begrudgingly. :P

    19. Hey Jwet, brilliant as always, like how the raised a toast to:-
      “To new beginnings and old loves”
      very nice indeed.
      Love it, thanks for the update.

    20. “Chocolate Espresso Soufflé Cake with Mascarpone Crème”… that sounds really yummy. When do they get to the ‘real desert’? ;)

    21. Hey Jwet I’m still
      love it again another Beautiful Story I can wait Tina and Bette their CHEMISTRY in you’re Story it’s really Amazing really Jwet even in the real show to right Thank you keep it going Please.

    22. Hmm, I love this story but there are so many things in the background lurking. Bette observing the birth of Anna “from afar” and orchestrating Tina’s career “from afar.” You hinted at both in this chapter and I can’t wait for the truth to be revealed; but based on how Tina handled Bette’s question in this chapter and the zeal she showcased when talking about her new job, I’m confident that Tina will be able to handle Bette’s meddling “from afar.”

    24. Everything I hoped for. Perfect name for this chapter.. Yup Yup I got your email late last night and then slept in this morning. Working in the yard kicked my butt yesterday. Made me feel like a one armed paper hanger. LMAO!!! So I’m gonna chill out and recovery and read. WAHOOO.. Loving it more each chapter.

    25. i knew you were end like this..lol..i guess now Bette is more relax and confident to be with tina..this is the woman she spend so many years and she knows that Tina is a new person now but her essence and heart is the same..thanks for another great chapter..

    26. WOW I could only guess at how much the bill is going to be. LOL great chapter, I don’t know about Irene you have never really have her talk much, so I though it was weird she started asking questions right away. But she would be a good person to hear the veiws she has seen. If you haven’t seen alicia keys in concert, you should!!! She is amazing. I talked to her back stage, about travel, wine, food, her music, her poems. She is so nice, converstaion just flows with her, and she is so smart. She is 1 yr older then me and wow it’s like she had live for 50yrs already.

    28. Ok, I just donno why suddenly the warning by Momma Bear Tina pooped out in my head yesterday. Hehe… Alright it’s odd but gotta thank u for reading my story here where I should be giving u comments :) Most importantly…thanks for the update and can’t wait to see what happened through the date and of course the ‘history lecturer’ by Momma Bear Tina ;)

    31. Too bad this is just text because there’s just a huge smill on my face right now!

      I’m smiling – well, the softly spoken ultimatum which I think was delivered perfectly – especially since she only wanted to be there with Bette.

      I’m smiling because of the wonderful menu you had for the girl’s dinner.

      I’m smiling because Shane is showing herself to be a true friend and possibly a good mother, at least aunt.

      I’m smiling because 15 is closer to 20 then 10…..

      I’m smiling – heck, this is a wonderful story!

      Thanks for the smiles!
