Life changes unexpectedly – Chapter 7
“Can I ask you something else?” Tina asks softly.
“Sure, go ahead.” Bette replies.
“Do you think that you want more kids? That one day you might want another family?” Tina asks.
“I do. It’s been over two years since they died. I’m not going to grief anymore.” Bette says.
“It’s okay to grief Bette, just not let it take completely control over you.” Tina says and give her a little smile.
“I’ll try. I’m getting there, slowly.” Bette says.
“That’s good.” Tina says.
“So, do you want a famlily one day?” Bette asks.
“Yeah, I do. I’ve always wanted kids, all though lately I’ve kind of accepted that it might not happen, since I’m gay and all.” Tina says.
“That’s not an excuse. If you want kids, then you’ll get them. Gay or not. Having Isaac and Caitlin was the best thing in my life. Having a kid, him being dependable of me. It’s such a great feeling that fills you up with love. There’s no greater love than the love you have for your children.” Bette says and smiles. Tina smiles back and squeezes Bette’s hand softly.
Hours later it was time to end the evening.
“It’s getting late. I suppose I should get home.” Tina says.
“Yeah, me too, I have work tomorrow.” Bette says.
“Oh I’m glad I’m a student right now.” Tina replies with a chuckle.
“I bet you are.” Bette says. She pays for their coffee and pies.
“Thank you. I’ll get the next one?” Tina suggests.
“I would like that very much.” Bette replies with a smile. “Can I walk you home?” Bette asks.
“Sure.” Tina says. They grab their jackets and walks out of the cafe.
“So, you have lot of good friends?” Bette asks.
“No, I don’t. I have my best friends from back home, she’s studying in California right now. Wants to be a teacher. I miss her a lot. And some other I know, but not close. I guess you can say I’m a bit of a loner.” Tina says.
“I’m sure you’re not a loner Tina.. I miss my friends too. My best friend lives in California too, Los Angeles, she’s a journalist at L.A Magazine. And I don’t have that many friends either, at least not out here.” Bette says.

It’ll get easier, Bette. You have Tina now. :)
Glad your back Lauren. It will get easier with Tina’s help. Bette just has to stop trying to forget her lost family and find a place for them in her heart along side Tina and the possibilities of a new future.
so damned sad and so damned hard because u feel guilty if u forget to remember them BUT when u do ALL THE PAIN comes rushing right back. I’m surprised Bette only has one day out of it…some of us have hundreds of days b4 we recover, if and when we do recover!!!! Like your work so please just write when u can. Often it helps me to read other peoples’ stuff or even revisit my own or just take a long break as I have in the past…I’ll have to go back to catch up on this story…take care…
