    Hindsight – Chapter 8

     

     

     

    I looked down at our daughter as the tears began, they were slow tears, but my chest hurt, the intense pain in my chest was making it difficult to breathe properly and this was just the beginning of trying to understand what happened, what happened to us, to me, all of it…

     

     

     

    I saw her get up, she walked to the French doors, resting her head on the frame, looking out to the garden, but it was obvious that she wasn’t just looking at the garden, her mind was in turmoil, was her heart in turmoil too?

     

     

     

    Angelica looked to me, the look that said she wanted a cuddle, wanted to nurse, was she picking up on the tension that was now apparent in the room between her two mothers.

     

     

     

    I picked her up and began to nurse her, it brought a sense of comfort, a sense of much needed peace in the situation between us, but my tears didn’t subside, I’m not sure they would for a while yet.  I tried hard to swallow them back, but it didn’t work, they continued as I stared down at our daughter, she looked up at me with those eyes, those eyes that always reminded me of Bette.

     

     

     

    I look back up at Bette, still looking thoughtful as she stood by the door, I tried to think about what she had said to me, all the words she had uttered, the pain that was so clearly etched on her face and in her eyes.

     

     

     

    Angelica’s hand reached up to my face, I looked back down at her and smile through my tears, her fingers outstretched, wanting to play with my hair as she usually liked to do when she nursed.

     

     

     

    I saw Bette move out of the corner of my eye, she came to sit next to us, she didn’t sit close, but close enough to watch Angelica, the anger had disappeared from her face, but the pain remained in her eyes, I’m not sure anything I would say to her would erase that pain, but it always momentarily disappeared when she looked at her daughter, only to return once again when she looked at me, I wish I could erase that pain from her eyes.

    1. OMG what a cliffy!!! You better post reeeeeaaaaally soon, how about lunch time tomorrow?? Big overlap, loved that….and I can’t wait to hear T’s response. I hope she will think before speaking, something she haven’t done in the last chapters. Great work Jo xx

    2. yes! now the ball is in Tina’s court and i hope that she will honest with Bette, they can heal up together. Good thing that you work doesn’t keep you busy

    3. It is powerful and painful to watch these two try and work out some of what is going on in their heads. I know that Bette still loves Tina beyond anything in this world and my guess is that Tina has also come to that conclusion. Where do they go from here and is there a chance that they can work out the relationship that I feel in my heart they want with each other?

    4. I’m not sure how Tina should answer that last line. If she says she didn’t miss Bette, then we all know that’s a lie. If she says she DID miss Bette, Bette could explode and ask why the hell she stayed gone for so long.

    5. the last line just reminds me of season 3 when bette said the same thing and tina just began talking about angelica…i can’t wait to see her reply in the next chapter…thank you

    6. I’ve read all your stories and every single one is wonderful. You seem to write with a poetic nerve that most people can only dream of achieving. You get a ton of well-deserved praise through these comments… so this one may seem redundant. Still, I don’t think we can celebrate your writing enough – therefore, thanks for another great chapter. I think you capture the diversity of Tina and Bette’s perspectives in a very elegant way. Please post soon…

    7. Gosh you’re good jo. I wonder if you know it? Another excellent and heart- wrenching, yet somehow comforting chapter. So much emotions in your written words,kinda scary actually. I’m beginning to feel a bit for Tina. I think she now realizes the pain she’s caused with her actions, and wants Bette to forgive her. I forgive her Now.I honestly don’t think she ever stopped loving bette,but perhaps she tried to stop loving her and just couldn’t. So much love there, and it so obvious. I wonder what Tina’s response will be to hearing bette say those words?Please post soon.
