Tina accepted the tissue that Dan offered her, amused that he had gotten it out of Carries purse, which was hanging from the back of his chair. Yeah, mom, Im here. Its – ah – been awhile, huh?
If she screws this up, Im going to kill her myself, Danny muttered to Caroline. Bette agreed wholeheartedly, but she managed to keep it to herself.
How are you, Tina? her mother asked.
Im ok. Im good, actually. I, um Tina didnt know how much she should say, so she started with what would end this conversation quickly if her mother wasnt ready. Im with Bette. Bette squeezed her shoulder.
I know. Rose Kennard answered, and she decided to ask exactly what she asks Danny and Caroline first regarding their significant others. How is Bette?
Tina laughed. Shes good, mom.
Does she take care of you? her mother asked, her voice breaking.
We take care of each other, mom, Tina answered, glancing at Bette.
Rose Kennard searched her mind for what to say next. She couldnt take it all back. That was impossible. She wished she could see Tina.
Tina helped her out. Mom, why are we talking right now?
I can answer that, Rose said, more to assure herself than Tina. Because you are my daughter, and I love you. I dont think I can go on any longer not speaking to you. I want to know you, Tina. I want to be a part of your life.
Mom, you understand that Bette is a part of that, my life, Tina said.
Of course, I do. I wouldnt be calling you if I wasnt prepared to accept that, Rose said evenly.
Acceptance isnt enough, mom. Im not a felon. Im a *****.
Caroline looked away and covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud. It wasnt funny. This was serious. But still, it was ridiculous that Tina had to reassure her own mother that she wasnt a criminal and didnt have any kind of disease and Tinas incredulous tone revealed that Tina thought so too.
And whats more than acceptance? Rose Kennard asked, not knowing what her daughter wanted.

i love this.. another great chapter… i’m so glad rose finally said …the hell with him i want my daughter back… please continue… love carrie too
Still loving this story, thanks for the phone call with Tina’s mom.
:D Oh my…that was just great! How Tina and Rose’s conversation went was so…truthful and touching. And how Rose wanted to apologize and speak to Bette. Rose is going to make sure that she won’t lose Tina again…Jackson is going to see and feel the strength of a Mother’s love for her child. I don’t think Rose is going to let him dominant her and tell her what is going to be — she’s going to stand up to him for Tina. Can’t wait…please continue posting.
This is so very good. You have done the best job of this type of story line by far.
First comes the partner, then the baby. I’m surprised Angelica hasn’t made her presence known yet, crying or cooing loud enough to be heard over the phone.
That’s gonna be one intense conversation when Rose calls their home.
I’m loving this story!
BTW – not only is North Carolina-born Tina with a woman, she’s with a biracial (read that as Black) woman. And she has a biracial baby.
Talk about giving it to them with both barrels! Oh boy!
Icame to your story late, but I have caught up on all of the chapters, LOOOOVE IT. My only disappointment is that Carrie and Danny did not take any pictures of Tina, Bette and Anglica. I would think that Carrie would want some pictures of Angie and Bette and Tina to carry with her and Bette and Tina would want some pictures of Anglica and her borther and sister. Give them something for the scrapbook. I love ind that is developing between Carrie and Bette, and that Carie and Dan were both thken by her beauty. Please post again soon. Oh the more Kennards and Porter’s involved the worse Helena’s chances look.
Well, I also discovered your story lately – but as I immediately felt fully “catched” by it today, I very quickly made up all the past chapters with a true and growning joy !
Thank you for such an excellent story, about an especially moving subject so much people can relate with, and for very engaging new characters like Caroline. I also agree with an other comment : the wonderful chemistry between her and her amazing “sister-in-law” is something quite delightful indeed !
And from now, I’ll faithfully wait for your updates. Thanks a lot again !
That was really great writing. Loved it as usual.
I can’t wait for the reunion.
This was a very humbling and sweet chapter. I can imagine how Tina is feeling right about now. Keep up the good work.
Really great chapter – if only all estranged parents could do this:( I agree with Techgal, cant wait for the baby & bi-racial thing – more drama;-)
Oh damn this is awesome and surprise for all of them. I can’t wait to see what’s next, please post soon, thansk! Great chapter!
