Lifeless Chptr. 8
“Well the job did come with the marriage into this family.” Tasha smilingly released her arms and brought Alice in closer with a smiling kiss.
……………………
“That’s your favorite Bette Davis movie of all time, really?” Bette asked completely dumbfounded by Tina’s answer.
“Come on you gotta love a good crazy when you see one. ‘But you are in that wheel chair Blanche!’” Tina laughed trying not to drop her gelato as she walked along side Bette. Bette laughed as well, Tina was right that was a great movie.
“Ok, I’ll give you that one, but Jezebel, All about Eve, come on those trump that movie by far.”
“Nope, there’s something about the looks she gives to Joan Crawford, that really drive it home that she might be crazier than she originally thought. Now that makes the movie go even deeper than most people realize. Watch it one day, I mean really watch it and you’ll see what I’m talking about.”
“Well I guess I can’t argue with an Executive Producer. I’ll give you that one.” Bette conceded as she continued to lick her ice cream. “So is there a date for you to return to work?” Bette asked softly cradling the remnants on her tongue.
“Oh God no, not really. My boss is a new guy I hardly know but when the merger happened between the two studios he saw how valuable I would be to the studio, so I was sent an insanely large fruit basket politely asking/ telling me not to return to work until the baby is at least six months old.”
“Six months old, really?”
“Yeah, he made the mistake of telling one of his partners who’s also one of Rick’s climbing Buddies, that the last thing he wanted was the stress of the job causing ‘a beloved, Newly Widowed Producer’ to have a miscarriage.” Tina saw how Bette’s brow shot up in amazement. “I guess they’re right really. If I wasn’t ordered to stay away from work I probably would work myself ragged. Flying back and forth from set to set trying to keep myself busy, but this” she ran her hand across her belly. “Keeps me from doing those things, it keeps my feet on the ground I guess.”

“Yea, Bette says it’s good for me and the baby. She says there’s no reason I can’t stay fit during my pregnancy.” – nice to have Dr. Porter on call… hope the next appt. is soon ;-)
Hey, thank you for sharing. Will be awaiting your next updates. Love this story
Thanks for the post. Alice and Tasha need to lighten up and give Bette a chance.
I’ve been looking for an update to this story, then you provide two! Alice and Tasha’s suspicions and worries are coming from a place of love, but I haven’t seen any cause for concern. Bette’s friendship seems to be having a positive influence on Tina, and that can’t be a bad thing. Thanks for the double posts. :)
So happy to see you back posting. Congrats on the new job! Two fantastic chapters. I love the friendship you’ve developed with Bette and Tina. For different reasons, it’s exactly what they both need. Can’t wait for your next chapter.

Thanks so much for these updates. I was really missing this story. It’s so good to see Tina returning to life…smiling and laughing. I hope Alice and Tasha don’t discourage her from having this friendship with Bette.
alice and tasha need to get a grip… tina is a big girl and for now her and bette are just friends.. love this story… pps
I would say that Tina talks to Doctor Porter quite often but Bette even more so.

It is so good to see this story again! Thank you for writing it.
Thanks for the updates. Love this story. Alice and Tasha should be happy that Tina has another focus and isn’t quite as depressed as she was before meeting Bette. Bette’s friendship has had a very positive affect on Tina and that is just great. They get along well and the friendship is developing beyond that of doctor and patient. Excellent idea. Thanks for posting.
Very good!
