Bette started, “T told me you all had a talk today about your friend.”
“Gina.”
“Yes, Gina. And she told me that you asked about what happened between us before you were born?”
“Yeah. She said she would wait till you got home.”
“I’m not sure where to begin.”
Mom seems nervous. Like she’s afraid of something. I am wondering if digging in the past was a smart thing, but we are here and I guess there is no turning back now. “Mom if you don’t want to talk about it I understand.”
“Its ok, I guess it’s about time we told you.” She asked me to sit with her on the bed with Tina on my other side. She started, “Where do I start? Um, Your mom and I were together for about seven years when we decided to start a family. She left her job to do that. Anyway she did get pregnant”
“She did?” My surprise was evident.
“Yeah but she lost the baby. And I wasn’t there for her as I should have.”
“But it wasn’t entirely her fault.” Tina continued. “I mean I shut her out after I lost the baby. And in the process we distanced ourselves from each other.”
“And is that why you separated?”
“Not exactly.”
“I uh, I had an affair. I met someone at work and there is no excuse for what I did”
“Why? Why would you hurt mom like that?” I was getting angry and now I wished I just left the past in the past.
“I don’t know Annie. I asked myself that question a thousand times and to this day I still don’t know why I did it. I think maybe I wanted a reason to justify shutting your mom out, or I just wanted to feel desirable again, I don’t know. It was a big mistake and I almost lost your mother and you because of it. And I’ve lived everyday trying to forgive myself but I cant and I don’t think I ever will.”
“Yeah, well having an affair isn’t something you can forgive that easily. It’s like betraying everything sacred not to mention the pain you inflict on everyone involved. And if you love someone why would you want to hurt them like that? You did love her did you? I mean you had to to be here now.”

That was so good. Its hard to talk to teenagers but usually if your just straight with them there pretty cool. They just want the truth like most of us. Nice ending.

Wonderful chapter. Can’t wait for more.
BnTfan,
Bloody marvellous!
Finding out that your parents are humans with frailties and failing is a very tough pill to swallow however it is not healthy to idolized them either.
The openness and honesty displayed in this story is what helps get you through. The truth will set you free.
Finding out about Bette’s affair, Tina’s relationship with Helena and the miscarriage shows Angelica that you can fail but by following your true desires with a determination to succeed you can move on and build something stronger.
Thank you for keeping it real.
Please post soon as I am completely addicted to this fabulous fan fic.
Your Loyal fan
Very good chapter. I agree with techgal, I don’t think that it is up to Angelica to forgive Bette or not. What happened between Bette and Tina before she was born is thier business and Angelica should not have a say in it. She does not have a right to question thier love for each other.
well not as bad as it could of have been.
Good job and I would have expected them to both have a ultrasound pic.
That is so cute and sad all at the same time! I can understand why Angie is upset, I would be to but I hope she can get over it coz Bette’s hurting enough as it is!
I’m of the opinion that intimate parts of the parents’ marriage belong only to the parents. They don’t owe their children an explanation for the intimate details, failings or betrayals, of their relationship. Are they good parents to the child? Are they providing a good, stable home? Yes? Then what occured in the past is none of the child’s business.
However, this is your story. Please continue!
