    Author Notes:

    Chapter 93 – Freedom of Choice

     

    Tina slumped back on the couch now a little blown away by Bette’s declaration.  She hadn’t meant to insult Bette and now she felt a little guilty at the words that had come out of her mouth.  A little afraid at what would come out next she knew she needed to say something but her mind couldn’t process any more then the one thought of what a burden having that much money would be.  It was the single driving thought that was stuck in her head.  Money always complicates things.  Money makes people do and be things that they normally wouldn’t.  Tina didn’t want to even thing about what that much money could do.

     

    But Tina did realize that Bette was trying as she sat there not shying away from anything as she revealed her heart in her intentions.  She wasn’t shutting down, keeping her out, running away.  Instead Bette was explaining her inner thoughts, out in the open, exposed.  This thought struck Tina despite her fears and worries about the money.

     

    As Tina sat there processing her thoughts Bette felt as if Tina was miles away from her.  She could see the thoughts as they crossed her mind, anger, confusion, and disbelief.  Feeling that she hadn’t reached her that it was hopeless, Bette went to stand up. 

     

    Sensing Bette’s movement

     

    “No don’t!”

     

    Tina says in a quieter voice than before and putting up her hand to block Bette’s path. 

     

    Bette was so focused on Tina that she heard her small voice and stopped mid-stance and looked at Tina.  Seeing her hand sat back down.

     

    Now looking at Bette Tina tried to explain “I don’t know how to accept that much money.  But Bette I do know you only had our well being in mind but Bette it’s just so much.  How do you even deal with that much money?”

     

    Bette realizes now that Tina is trying to cope with this revelation and what it will mean.  “Well T it’s something we can do together first of all.  Secondly I really don’t think we would change much.  After all we don’t want Anna becoming one of those spoiled rich children.  I would like her to have an appreciation of the value of money.  I would like her to earn her successes, it will teach her so much more about life.”

    1. And the plot thickens wow Alice is going to have a field day! im glad Tina understands that Bette doesnt have any motive behind her actions but can understand her needing time to take it all in! so as always looking forward to where its all going.

    4. LOL B….felt good being first, huh? LOL

      Anyway, moving right along….I am glad that Tina is accepting the money. Understanding that she needs time to process all of this means that she wont act like an ass about it.

      Alice….dear ole Alice. I hope no one has forgotten that Tina has to approve all of Alice’s articles and Alice had plans of slipping all the MYV info in with the rest of the stuff that needs Tina’s approval.

      What I dont get though is Alice’s unquestionable need to confuse investigating into interference.

      Great chapter Jwet!!

    5. im glad Tina is ok about the money but if she dosent want i sure can take it..lol..oh Alice you are in really bed sheets..great chapter post soon!!!

    6. If anyone can take care of Alice it Tina. . Alice doesn’t realize that she can lose good friend over her being nosey. My reply to people that ask a lot of questionis I really dont know or I didn’t ask. thanks

    8. wahbin – thanks a bunch. we woulda missed, no we woulda been climbing the walls if you hadnt posted for jwet. we need our fix. this chappy. thoughtful, insightful, wonderful. it would be nice to see bette take care of al but no violence from jwet, hopefully. tina will do it for her heehee.

    15. JWet,
      Great to be back and able to comment on your wondrous additions to this masterpiece.
      I have been MIA lately given workload and lack of resources however am now able to pass my judgment on these last chapters.

      Great to see that Helena’s comeuppance in building slowly, as Jackie too, is now involved. This is the best way to deal with an individual such as Helena. Just like the petulant child when all her toys are taken away will look for distraction in other areas and move on. I feel that there could be all sorts thrown out of her pram.

      As for Bette and Tina, You have clearly outdone yourself with the lyrical and beautiful explanation and realization of a truly selfless gift.

      Bette has grown so naturally in this story that her simple clarification that her desire to provide and support Tina and Anna via the trust was completely altruistic just seemed right and realistic.

      Tina’s initial horror at the amount was slowly eroded by Bette’s declaration. Being able to see things from Bette’s point of view was a delightful written as Tina consciously comprehended the truth.

      As for Alice, I see that there may be storms ahead but I hope that Dana will provide a safe and secure haven for her.

      Tina stepping in to deal with this is another important change and development in Bette and Tina’s relationship. It shows the trust is there completely.

      I think that Alice is only being led to the stocks and not the gallows.

      Today’s questions:
      What type of personal injury insurance and protection does Alice have? Fully comprehensive I hope! Has Tina been taking karate classes and awarded her first Black belt? Does Alice know? Will Tina think of a suitable way to pay Bette back for all of this money? Has Anna started her Christmas list yet?

      Can’t wait to see where this tremendous tale leads me to next.
      Please post soon.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    16. Thanks for posting. Tina’s reaction was strong, but understandable. They are getting to know each other again and Bette has some big stuff to tell her.

    17. So glad it looks like Tina’s going to come around and accept the money. Like she herself stated, Bette did it at a time when they weren’t even talking, and Tina basically hated her. Now Tina handling Alice thats gonna be good.

    20. Little by little the picture is becoming clearer to Tina.

      I’m happy to see that even though she shot off like a bottle rocket at first, she allowed herself the time to actually hear what Bette was saying. Great line by Bette that she may be Melvin’s daughter, she was not him. Very important point, not only for her – but for Tina as well. I’m glad that Tina put two and two together to realize that Bette put that money aside when they were not even talking! That alone should tell her that there were never any strings attached.

      I think all of Bette’s reasonings for having the money for Tina were valid. Just because you have money doesn’t mean you have to use it. But it can provide a little bit more peace of mind.

      Bette just keeps making great strides staying true to her ‘new’ self. That alone should be worth it’s weight in gold. To both of them.

      Alice should be happy that Tina volunteered to talk to her. There would have been nothing left of her if Bette had gotten to her! Now, will Alice heed Tina’s warning?

      Thanks wahbin for posting in Jwet’s absence. You have no idea just how happy that makes us!!

    22. I’ve just re-read this ‘cos last night I was reading it at 3 a.m. when I got home and was a little drunk and too tired to even put a short comment. I’m an addict LOL! Anyway, great chapter. Bette is a rock.

    24. Thank you, Wahbin and Jwet. This was a nice chapter, good insight into Bette and her reasons to do what she did.

      Poor Alice…I hope Tina can protect her!

      Thanks…..it’s always so nice to see a post from you.

    26. Alice does not know how close she is to losing a good friend, because Bette is at the end of her rope with her snooping into her private life. She has already warned her, but MS.Nosey just persist. Tina is her last hope. I am soooooo happy that Bette stayed and opened up to Tina and Tina understands. I am STILL patiencely waiting for Bette to tell Tina that she was thee when thier daughter was born, Tina is just going to melt. Great job Jwet, please continue.
