Part 9 – “The unexpected”
Unfortunately Tina’s trip coincided with Barbara’s return from Washington DC and since they hadn’t seen each other for three weeks Bette didn’t want to cancel. After agreeing to take Angie for the weekend Bette called Barbara to let her know they would be sharing the time with Angie. Barbara was a bit disappointed since she was looking forward to being alone with Bette but Barbara readily sensed from Bette’s tone that if she had any issue with sharing the weekend with her daughter there would be no choice. Additionally Bette was just a week from her delivery date so family weekends were about to become the norm once the baby was born. Barbara wasn’t sure where the relationship with Bette was going if anywhere but one thing was certain; her adapting to having children around would play a major part in making it work.
***
Bette and Barbara moved around the kitchen in a familiar fashion. Barbara prepared spaghetti and meatballs from a family recipe that had been passed down from her Italian grandmother. The made from scratch marinara sauce rivaled any restaurant prepared sauce that Bette had ever tasted. As Barbara prepared the entrée Bette made the salad and heated up the garlic bread. They had a gelato for dessert that Barbara had picked up on the way over along with a nice Chianti. The wine was an ingredient in the sauce but Barbara also poured herself a glass and Bette sipped from it occasionally.
When dinner was ready, Bette asked Angie to wash up and then come back to help set the table. The three sat down and after Barbara served they continued their conversation. Since Barbara had missed all the festivities Angie told her about seeing her little brother on the sonogram, and about the games they played at the baby shower and everything she learned in her sibling classes at the birthing center. Barbara was impressed not only by the little girl’s ability to carry a conversation but how well she articulated and expressed herself.
After dinner they cleaned up and the three of them worked together on the puzzle. It was one of high quality made of lacquered wooden pieces that fit within a frame. Once completed it would be decorative enough to hang in Angie’s room. They had gotten all of the United States of America, Mexico and Canada completed and were admiring their handy-work when Bette excused herself from the table to use the bathroom. She left with the warning to Angie to start putting the pieces away because it was getting close to bedtime and she needed to start her bath. A few minutes later Barbara and Angie were both startled when they heard Bette cry out.

Thanks. Glad Nic is ok and everything went smoothly. Tina is acting strange. What’s up with that
Thank you for posting. This story is well developed with nuance and clarity as well. Post again when you can.
BAT,
I know that this is not a TiBette story and that Tina is really different from the very beginning but I could feel that she still cares for Bette and she is not just in a hurry to go back home bcoz of Angie but bcoz she also wanna be there for B.
Anyway, thanks for this wonderful story.
Nice story evolution! Thanks for posting!
Oh, welcome in this world Nicolas Shane.
I am happy everything went oke.
It is good to see Tina took the first flight home.
Still hoping for a tibette ending.
Beautiful story….thanks !
Thanks! Tina still cares for Bette. Sam will be out the picture! This is Bette and Tina we talking about. I have faith!
Thanks for the posting. Glad the baby is here safe and Bette OK. Glad Tina is rushing back, please post soon with a Tibette moment or two!. Still hoping for a Tibette ending!!!
Hi Champ
I tried to send you a PM but failed. Do you know the reason for that?
Mariam I don’t know how to send PMs on this site. You will need to check with administrator. Sorry. Hope to hear from you.
Okay, after this one I feel like Barbara is here to stay? Glad that Nicolas Shane Porter is fine. And I feel like I missed a part of the story – where did Leigh go?
Hey, Bat, very nice chapter. I feel like Sanetree that Barbara made a great connection with Boo and Bette in a way that will strengthen their bond. Tina has grown in a different way and still holds onto some negative stuff towards Bette and that will never do to recreate their special bond. Parts of her still seem to live in a box and Bette did stray so unless forgiveness is a strong part of being together, they are most probably over.
But it isn’t over until the fat lady sings so keep on doing what you are and I’ll keep on reading it however and wherever you take our characters.
Thanks for the story.
I agree with what Bumsue wrote. I normally don’t comment on each chapter I like to see where the story goes and ends. The story is so warm and loving the between sister and brother.
What a great chapter. Thank you
I’m with Sanetree,what’ve happened with Bette and Leigh at the Observatory?
I think it’s natural for Tina to worry about Bette.They have a long history and a child together.She still cares for her.
I’m anxious to read about Angie and Nicholas meeting,and how Tina is going to react to know about Bette and Barbara’s relantionship.
A lot of good stuff,maybe some drama is coming up?
Thanks for posting.
Hi all,
Sorry I jumped forward in time. Nicolas was ready to be born and Leigh didn’t fit into this chapter but she’s still around. I will fill in the blanks in a future chapter. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Well im trying to hang on in there, but these chapters are getting harder, well written i give it that though
