Once Upon a Time – Chapter 30
By this time Tina had made her way over to Bette and was standing in front of her. Bette swung her feet to the ground so she was facing Tina, looking up at the woman who had captured her heart all those years ago. She put her arms around Tinas waist, pulling her close in the process, and placed her head on Tinas stomach. Tina in response ran her hands through Bettes hair, hoping it would have a calming effect. They stayed in this position, for a few moments until Bette finally spoke.
You know youve always had this calming affect on me. No matter what kind of inner turmoil Im in the middle of if you are by my side I feel I can conquer anything.
So what exactly are you trying to conquer at 3 in morning Bette?
Bette giggled and Tina felt relief wash through her body.
T, Ive been trying to conquer the same thing for the last 25 years and just when I think I have it licked it pops right back up and bites me in the *****.
Scoot forward Bette. Huh?
Scoot forward so I can sit behind you on the lounge chair. Bette did as she was asked and soon she was snuggled into Tinas protective arms.
Tell me what youre feeling?
Bette sighed and Tina tickled her. Come on, give and I dont need the theatrics. I think weve already established that you hiding your feelings is not beneficial to either one of us.
Over and over and over, you think I would have learned by now to not try and hide them from you.
So, get talking!
You know T, its the same thing it always is. Im sitting out here reliving the past beating myself up about it. Once again Ive managed to hurt the ones I love the most. I know we decided to not tell the kids but it I forced that decision and now I regret it. Did you see the hurt in Madison and Jakes eyes? When am I going to learn to follow your lead and live from my heart and not my head?
Bette, as usual you are being to hard on yourself. Come on baby, we made that decision together and it was a long time ago. You are so much more open today then you were back then. I see you constantly working at it, struggling. Take tonight for example. I saw the hurt in your eyes when Madison lashed out and the dread in them when she asked to talk to you. But your discussion went well and you made Madison understand. You couldnt have done that if your heart wasnt open. You havent hidden behind your walls for many years now Bette. What you need to do is forgive yourself once and for all.

I am truly addicted to fanfic!!! Between you, Shades, Chicki, Amanda, Seahurst…I can’t ever turn my computer off!!!! Keep this story coming. You’re doing a wonderful job!!!
Oh, I so wish that Zoe hadn’t left just yet. Ooh, maybe she’s just parked outside the door, and will wait for Madison to emerge, showing her where she stands. As for the moms, so lovely to see the balance in the relationship. And the intimacy. The romantic in me feels right at home in your story! Your writing is so readable and so enjoyable. It’s a happy time when I see that you’ve posted a chapter. Thank you!
Just as wonderful as always. Thank you for taking the time to write.

Bette saying when am I going to learn to follow your lead and live from my heart and not my head does speak volumes to both Madison and Bette thanks for the post
