“You! Bette Porter, you are unnatural and have lost your way from the path of the righteous. You have strayed from the almighty words of God. It is sinful what you do to my Tina. You are keeping her from me and from her Savior. Please, for the love of God… I need to take my baby home…TINAAA….” she yelled again.
And on and on she went, her voice now reaching the cadence and rhythm of a seasoned preacher.
Nothing anyone else said broke through to her as she continued to pray loudly, denouncing everything about Bette and all lesbians in general.
Bette starred at her in complete shock. She had never experienced a southern Christian sermon and she was very sure she never wanted to again.
On the other side of the door, Tina’s heart clenched painfully in her chest. Already at a low point, her exhaustion and mental stress was at the limit of what she could take.
She would have done anything, anything not to have to do what she knew needed to be done now.
After hearing Bette’s words, Tina smiled to herself. She loved Bette Porter with everything that she was, but it was time she stopped hiding behind her wife and fought her own battles. It was time she took care of Bette for a change and handled her own business.
Years and years of pent up family history and pain and rejection exploded in her very soul, propelling her towards the open door to stand next to Bette on the porch.
“Mother” she said, the sound of her voice slicing through Donna’s ranting like a hot knife through butter.
The silence that followed that one word was deafening.
Bette tenderly rubbed Tina’s back, hoping to convey comfort and to soothe her wife, seeking reassurance for herself as well.
She could feel the crackling energy coming off Tina in waves. Tina’s body felt electric, the hair on her arms was standing up and her face flushed. Her eyes flashed with fury, resentment and bitterness. Bette had never seen her so angry, so charged. Not even the night they fought over Candace.

That is some kind of greeting for a mother who has not spoken nor seen her child in ten years. What a walking disaster. And not a very effective manner to achieve her goals. Not very intelligent approach. Appears to be mentally deranged.
Nice surprise when Bette and Tina completely switch roles – the strong alpha and the weaker follower. But isn’t that almost always the way it turns out? The over bearing controlling personality is really shy, not very confident and emotional and the weak one is really the one in control? I think they are both alphas and subservient types. That is why they are so perfect together. Its why they can truly work together and be happy.
Love, Love love this story….. Thanks. could use another chapter.
Awesome, simply, awesome. I loved the peak into the early part of their relationship.
Looking forward to the next…

Thank you SuperK! I like adding those little insights into their past, glad you loved reading it.
Well I may have called it right a little bit in a previous post by saying that Ma Kennard probably put on one hellofa sob story after Eric contacted her from the hospital. He had to have given her Bette’s address😡. More importantly the over-the-top “crying out for her “baby” to be returned to her as if Tina was a 2yr old to blame Bette or whoever she thought was Bette (Kit) really got my knickers in a wad!!
“Religious” people are not the same as “spiritual” people. Religious folks want everybody ELSE to toe the line while they themselves are far from it.!! I assure you ‘ol Donna wholeheartedly believes that her daughters being raped/beatened/incested/whatever is OK compared to them being in love/committed/would give life&limb for a same-sex partner 🤮😡🤮.
Religious folks are always labling people and tossing “them” into the heap called “outsider”. They dont for one minute believe that any of their lustful egregious sins are anything to worry about🤫🤭
Donna is not in Tina’s face to save her soul or anything else. She doesnt want the truth & public scruitany to come out on her cruel & greedy deals with Eric. She doesnt want her church folks to find out who she & her husband truly are so she’s gonna try to explain it all away by saying “that gay daughter of mine did this, that and the other”!!
Gosh I wished you would have let Kit slap the shi** out of her!!! BUT! I’ll settle for Tina finally standing up to her 😐
I’m glad u’ve already said that Lucy is gonna step up because I was surely gonna start my “rant” about her 🙄.
Sorry yall, I dont trusser😖
I’m feeling sad for Tina because she still has to go to police station to give her statement. Wonder if she’ll be shown the crime scene photos. 😩😥. She already remembers that Rapedog shredded her dress. And her under clothing??? Damn photos will certainly be shown at the trial.
“Religious people are not the same as Spiritual peole”, gosh Dumplin, I love this comparison so much. You are 100% spot on. And I think that frames the problem with Mama K so well. She sees her religion as a sledgehammer to keep her daughters in line, to do what they are told. I guess it worked for as long as they allow it, and Tina has decided to no longer play along. I really did think about Kit being the one to bitch slap Donna but in the end I want Tina to finally step the F up. In this story and in the TV version. Get a grip on yourself and your actions already TK!
I am sad for Tina too. The statement is the next chapter to write and I already deleted draft one because I cant get my mind wrapped around how to write it. This chapter had three versions, lol. Sometimes I am too much of a perfectionist.
I love your comments, thank you for being so loyal and commenting each chapter. I look forward to hearing what you and the others think.
As my 86 year old church deaconness aunt would say, “that bitch is a demon.” LOL Donna Kennard is trying to save face with her holy friends. She is quite aware of the debachery of Eric because of her other daughter, Lucy. Its all about appearances. Im glad you are offering this story while we all wait with anxiety and uncertainty. I am in self quarantine for the next few days so I am looking forward to updates. Thank you for devoting your time to this site. PPS
I love your 86 year old deaconness aunt! She sounds like she would have set Donna K straight!! And you are so right – it IS all about appearances and Eric fits the bill for the kind of marriage that would look good for Mama K. Thank YOU for devoting your time to reading this site and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it so much
Maji,
You mean Donna’s “holier than THOU” friends right
Dramatic and over the top it may be but it’s definitely Brilliant !!!
Thanks for posting a great story and please, please post again soon.

So dramatic and over the top! I didnt like any other version of Mama K that I wrote, this one sat with me the best. Dont worry, she has more tricks up her sleeve. That dog still can bite. Thanks SG!
So, this is Donna Kennard. She definitely needs a reality check.
I love that Tina confronted her. Impressive how she slowly talked herself into a rage. Great that all of this added stress started not only her time of working through the trauma but also pushing her self-confidence.
Tina and Bette will remember their moment in the car for some time. Looking forward to see how Tina will change now that she has some insight to her own personality.
Thanks so much for constantly giving us new chapters to enjoy, BK. I just love your writing and your insights to Tina’s and Bette’s characters.

This IS Donna Kennard. Scary, huh? Yes, I liked how Tina talked herself into an angry place too, I dont think confrontation comes as easily to her as it does to Bette. She is more used to keeping a low profile so that her mother leaves her alone. Thank you for reading and commenting!
Oh my god BK,
I had to laugh so hard when i read how Donna acted, is she living in a different world? Good lord, that woman is crazy and she make me say words i don’t use normally!
I really love how you portray Tina and Bette, so supportive and full of love and both so in tune with each other. Their need and appreciation to protect each other. Also good to read that Tina is going to get the answers to the questions why she reacts self destructive and passive agressive to situations.
The scene in the car, beautiful ♥️
Stay safe and healthy ????

So glad you found it funny, I did too. I wanted to portray her as a nutcase but also one that was so over the top that everyone around her would be like WTF just happened. She comes in like a tornado. Stay healthy yourself, this is a crazy time right now!
