“I was trying to create a home,” Tina defended their initial quick but disastrous reconciliation. “I was about to have a baby and I thought it was the right thing to do.”
They both caught the motion on the patio and declined to continue with the topic. All three of Shane, Alice and Dana entered through the back door.
“We’re gonna take off,” Shane said. “Thanks for the afternoon.”
They continued through the house to the front door, with Bette escorting them, and Tina remaining in the kitchen, thoughtful at what she and Bette had been discussing. Alice and Dana stepped onto the porch first and turned to wave their goodbyes.
Shane leaned in and spoke quietly, so that only Bette could hear.
“It just seems right to see you two together.”
Bette reached for Shane’s hand and squeezed it as she smiled. She knew Tina wasn’t the only one hoping for their reconciliation. But she had to be cautious in order to protect her own heart.
Bette closed the door as they made their way down the stairs. She turned to see Tina leaning against the doorjamb of the kitchen.
“When you said this afternoon that you were going to kiss me like you were about to make love to me, I thought…” Tina paused. “I don’t know what I thought.”
“You thought we were back together,” Bette said. “Just like I thought we were back together when you said you wanted to move back into the house to have the baby here. To be a family again.”
“Yeah I guess so,” Tina replied. She hated it when something she said came back to haunt her.
”So you’ll forgive me if I don’t just accept what you’re saying about wanting me back in your life again,” Bette replied quietly. “Because you might be saying that, but I need your actions to show it before I can let myself have certain feelings for you.”
Tina pushed herself up from the doorway.
“Can I ask for a hug?” Tina asked. “Just a hug?”
Bette walked over and they embraced. There was no tension between them, and because of the emotional conversation, neither one felt inclined to carry the contact any further. They parted before Tina spoke.

I love your stories, i read them more than once over the years.
But i don’t have time to reread this story, have to work very early in the morning , but i hope to read it when i am back tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!
You are a incredible writer and i do hope that you will find the time to write more! For now, thank you again for returning!
I was so happy to see your name again, I love your stories, off to read now,, but please continue to post more stories.,, please post soon.
Thanks for the shoutout! You’re an incredible writer with a natural style that pulls the reader in and makes one sorry when the chapter/story ends. Your writing demands rereading many times. It’s just that enjoyable. :-)
Brilliant, thanks so much for this. 62 Pages of pleasure.
Enjoy your stories which are good to read more than once.
Look forward to keeping on swimming :-)
I love this story, as I always enjoy reading your work!
Loved it, thanks so much. You are such a good writer!
Glad you are back,I love your stories.
I certainly remember this story and I love it more now. Thanks for updating the language so the profane language is present. It’s not that I am a complete potty mouth but let’s be realistic. Several of the stories that have transferred over have blanks or asterisks instead of the actual language. In my opinion, when this happens, the stories lose some of their authenticity and the characters lose their edge. I realize that it takes effort to fill in the blanks especially in longer stories. So thanks for doing that.
I find stories harder to read with the asterisks inserted…it’s like a jolt of reality interfering with my escapism. I had to get to the task of editing them out. I do plan to work on more stories; some easier than others because of where the files are. This story was first posted almost 10 (!) years ago, so the digital file was more challenging to retrieve. I’m not much for cursing, but the occasional well placed F-bomb can really get someone’s attention.
@JKS I can’t believe this story is almost 10 years old! It reads now as fresh as it did then. I really love your stories because they are so well written with realism, humor, sarcasm and authenticity. It also helps that for us ORs (Original Readers), it follows canon for the characters and storylines. :-)
WOW, what a fabulous surprise seeing you back here, JKS! So glad you found your way back here and have even edited! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing again!
Thanks for your effort of editing and for giving us this wonderful story again.
It’s still as beautiful as I remember it from reading your story for the first time a few years ago.
Finally I managed to finish reading!
I was slowly reading this story.
And I confess that it was a great trip.
Pretty and wonderful.!
And to think that have passed since the 10 years, but
It remains very current.
The entire universe.
Don’t remember seeing this before and it was wonderful, took me back a ways. So great to have you back giving us something to read from you. Wish other former writers would come back to us, all of you are valued and missed greatly. So many of the stories are not completed, would be so nice if they were. Again welcome back, looking forward to more. Thanks.
Loved this! I love your writing. I’m so glad I’ve come across your stories, be it years later but better late than never lol
