    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 22

    “Give me one minute” Bette said to Shelly as she made her way back to her office.  She had been in back to back appointments for most of the day and a call that she had been expecting had just come through.

     

    Sitting at her desk, she reached for her water bottle and moved the mouse to her computer to bring it to life.

     

    Quickly scanning her e-mail for the document that she needed for this phone call, her eyes immediately stopped when they saw the message from Tina.

     

    Knowing that she didn’t have much time, she couldn’t help from opening the message to get an idea of what the content was about.

     

    Sitting there motionless, she read the entire note, no emotion visible on her face.  Taking a deep breath, she quickly typed a brief response and then moved on to what it was that she had been looking for.

     

    “Bette?” she heard Shelly call out.  “You ready?”

     

    Briefly resting her head in her hands, she said, “Sure, send him through.”

     

     

     

     

    Looking at her watch, Tina saw that it was close to 5:30 and she had yet to hear back from Bette.

     

    Sitting in front of her computer, she re-read the note that she had sent her for probably the tenth time and wondered if she had been right in sending it.

     

    It was just at that time that she heard the ping telling her that she had new mail.

     

    Looking at her inbox, there it was, what she had been waiting to see, a response from Bette.

     

    With a shaking hand, she quickly opened the note and read Bette’s response.

     

     

     

    Tina-

     

    Thanks for the note and please excuse this brief response.  I have been between meetings all day and currently have someone on hold waiting to speak to me.

     

    I just wanted to let you know that I did receive your note and if it’s alright with you, will call tonight to discuss over the phone versus my trying to type out a response here.  You and I both know how long that would take me

     

    Please let me know if you’ll be around tonight and if not, when a good time to call you would be.

The few days before delivery seem to slow down to a crawl, but hang in there — you’re in for the most amazing, rewarding ride of your life!

    4. Everytime I think of this story, lo and behold it magically appears! I love your writings,so full of love,drama,heartfelt emotions. you never cease to amaze me! Congrats on the baby! Your hands will be full!Please post as soon as you can!

    5. Thanks for posting this excellent chapter despite the exciting chapter about to unfold in your life. As for the story, Tina is Bette’s kryptonite. Although Tina’s right to say that she knows they won’t get back together immediately, and I intially wanted Bette to really make Tina beg for forgiveness, I’m giving up the ghost. Sunday’s episode took me to new depths. I hope you’ll get to post soon, Skipton. If not, I’ll just reread everything you previously wrote.

    6. Wow! First and foremost, congratulations and my best wishes to you and your partner. Love how your story is progressing. They’ll find their way to one another…when two souls are destined to be one nothing can stand in their way. Again, best wishes during this beautiful time in your lives…

    7. skipton, I have really missed your story, I check for it all the time. Thankyou for a beautifully written storyline, which ever way it goes, I know it will be with class. Your writing is like reading a novel, Always looking forward to the next post. Congrats on the soon to be new arrival. just enjoy life, thats what it is all about. as for S3 Its just a TV Show, just like fan fiction. For our amusement or enjoyment. People gotta remember that more. Blessings to you and your other half.

    8. Congrats on your soon to be package…and you think you don’t have time now to write…we’ll never see you afterwards…thankyou for this chapter and for the ray of hope you leave us with…it means a lot tks

    9. Beautiful post, Skipton. I had missed your baby news if you had posted it in the past. That is so wonderful. Congratulations. I always thought it was so corny when people talked about what a miracle it was, that little screaming infant. But it is a beautiful miracle. Don’t forget your camera like I did! The adventure is about the begin!

    10. Congrats, Skip! Our daughter just turned 10 months old, and it’s been an amazing journey so far. Your life is going to change so much–so much so, that if we don’t see a post from you until next year, I won’t be surprised!

    11. Skip, that was such a great post, so well written, just beautiful. Yours is truely a story that I always look for and I get all excited when I see a new one! I loved the whole backyard thing, and Tina’s complete honesty. I think maybe if the two of them start to really put things on the table, they will soon come around. Congrats on the baby and I hope you still find some time to finish this tale that you have begun.

    12. Hey so the time has finally come. Enjoy the quiet for a moment for soon you won’t remember what it sounds like. Thank you for taking time out when I know you are so busy to put this together. Your writing is as always so stellar. I feel the whimsical tone in Bette and Tina with her hope. Thanks

    13. “One day at a time, Bette, one day at a time”! There seems to be hope yet. Does leaving the door “just cracked so as not to completely close off the yard that she loved so much” signify her feelings for Tina? She still loves Tina and yet she’s scared but still leaving a crack so as not to completely close off her heart? Thanks so much for this hopeful update. Congratulations on the baby.

    14. Skipton, After everything these gals have been through it is great to see the doorway to communication opening up between them again. The simple pleasure of being comfortable with someone is a major turn on and I hope that Bette will realize this as she starts to spend time with and share her life with Tina again. It is brilliant to see the honesty that now exists in their relationship as Tina plainly states her case and the matter of her emotions and to where she would like this reconnection ending. Thank you for creating this torch to lead me away from the travesty of BnT in Season 3 and to a much more satisfying and appealing place. Will be waiting for your next post as always, Your Loyal Fan. PS – on personal note hope all goes well with the delivery and a new life is in your loving arms soon.

    15. I´ve been looking for and missing your update and behold the sun came out in the midst of a snowstorm. Thanks for a truly lovely story with such care for the written word. You truly are an amazing writer. Best wishes to you and your significant other – the two of you are in for the best time ever, and well at least 15 years of sleep depravation. But it is so worth it.

    16. Great update. Its so nice to read something that at least gives us hope. Loved how you ended it with Bette telling Tina about the yard, since thats where the conversation began. Looking forward to more, even though we may need to wait. That couple of hours you found, enjoy why you can, but its all worth it. congrats and good luck.

    17. Bette better buckle up because Tina’s at the wheel. I just hope she stays on her side of the road. She seems pretty determined and we don’t want a case of road rage. Love how you’re developing this. Your writing continues to amaze me. Wonderful as always, Skip.

    18. GT said it best…Tina is at the wheel…I look forward to going along for the ride with them. Now, about that new edition…say it with me….BABYSITTER!!!
