“Uh Uh, you do not get to walk away from me and this problem you caused just like that!” Bette raised her voice capturing Tina’s attention. She hadn’t heard Bette yell at her in such a long time, in a way it was exactly what she wanted. Some sort of reaction to her actions, the indifference as of lately ate at her more than she cared to admit. Tina sat back down in a huff and waited for Bette to begin, she saw the anger and hurt before Bette even found her voice.
“You promised me when you came to Philadelphia that you would never walk away from me and that we would talk to each other no matter the subject. And here it is years later when I need my partner– my wife, you bail on me and discard your responsibilities as a mother as some missed appointment.” Tina opened her mouth to interrupt. “Let me finish! Then you come home and have the gall to accuse me of trying to start an affair with a child. A child, Tina; around our children no less.” Bette’s voice broke but she was determined to tell her everything that was sitting heavily on her. “The children miss their mother,” she sniffled and continued on. “And I miss my wife.”
Tina couldn’t find it in her to even look at Bette, she knew one look and she was done, so instead she looked down at her hand hanging on the table by her thumb while her hand ran back and forth over her brow. She could hear the silent sniffles coming from Bette trying not to cry and failing badly.
“I’m not trying to avoid you Bette. You know I love you and the babies more than anything. There was an emergency in the Bay Area that I needed to go fix, it could not be helped.”
“T, short of a murder at ’Jack’s’ there isn’t a thing that you can’t delegate to someone else.” Tina closed her eyes at the start of the sentence and knew she was right. “Sound familiar, you told me that when I was pregnant with Azi. Now when I really need you and when the kids seem to miss you the most there’s all of these emergencies that require your full attention at that very moment.” Bette could feel her sorrow begin to subside and anger taking its place. “I bring up the subject of expanding our family and you dismiss me completely.”
“I did not dismiss you Bette, you walked out on me.”
“Because you were being an asshole.” Bette quickly jumped in.
“I was about to give you reason before you fucking stomped off like a pissed off teenager. I simply do not see the reason why you want to have another baby.”
“Tina, when we first made the decision to have children we both agreed that we wanted a big family, at the very least four children. You also said that once Azi started pre-school that you would slow down so we could have more time for another baby. I wanted to at least start the discussion of having more children and you write it off as some request I made up on a whim.”
“Bette we already have a great little family.”
“That is not in question at all Tina, the question is why are you all of a sudden set against more children. You were the one who wanted a family to mirror yours, I wanted that too and now out of the blue you don’t and you still have not given me reason 1 as to why.”
“Because we don’t need it!” Tina yelled exasperated already with the pressure. “I know what I said Bette but we don’t need a another baby, your older, I’m older we aren’t the young people we use to be when we had that conversation.”
“So it’s our age? That’s the reason?”
“It… it’s… that’s part of it, yes. I just don’t see the point in having another baby.” Tina looked at Bette and quickly threw her attention elsewhere. Bette saw how she was avoiding all eye contact and the way she kept fidgeting with her thumb against the table.
“Bullshit.” Bette sat back and waited for Tina to refute, she only saw frustration in her. “What aren’t you telling me Tina?”
“Jesus fucking Christ!” Tina screamed as she stood up and threw her plate into the sink breaking it. She snatched her beer off of the table and stomped through the house and into her office.

Wow what a great chapter! What is it that Tina isn’t telling Bette?
Wow, what is Tina’s secret? She is hiding something and it is causing her great stress and is destroying her relationship with Bette. Please post again soon!
Tina you have an amazing family, please what is happening to you. More – more – more – more
Okay what’s up with Tina. Specifically she does not want to spend time with Bette and kids. She is jealous of the kids? Sometimes parents are jealous of their own children getting the attention of their mate. Tina might be feeling like is not enough for Bette or maybe she wants out but I don’t believe the latter is true because of her reaction of seeing their wedding pictures.
Sometimes children can signify something more than contentment and settling down with a partner sometimes it can be signs of discontentment with a relationship or yourself so adding more children is not always good for a relationship or people sometimes it just covers up the problem. So it could actually be Bette instead of Tina. Boy I went deep there. Okay I will shut up now.
first letme say that i just found this story… and at work the last 3 nights i have been reading… thx god we were not busy…lol… anyway… love this story… wanted to smack the shit out of justine… and then bette for not telling tina… but they worked it out… so all is good… love tina’s family… just like mine… my daughter has 4 older brothers and i pray they all love each other as tina and her brothers do… (So far so good, my boys do every thing for their sister… she is 14 they are all over 24)… well we all no something is bothering tina.. maybe her parents need to visit… she is definetly working to much… and leaving bette with every thing to do… they need to talk… a few chapters back her parents said the same thing… they need to communicate better… lets hope no one cheats… please don’t let them go down that road… maybe a little thing like one of the kids sayng to tina… “Mommy don’t you love us any more”… that could be the smack in the face tina needs… again… love this story… looking for more… pps
I just discover your story last week and I love it. You have a great way of telling a story, it sweet without being sugary sweet and angst without being over the top dramatic and I love that. You captures the characters nicely.Now onto this chapter, I LOVE Bette in this story, especially in this chapter but what is Tina’s problem, is she having an affair ( I hope not) is she disappointed with the way her life is? What is her problem? I can’t wait for you to tell us what is wrong with Tina, please don’t take too long to tell us.
Things do not sound so well, in Tibette land at this point. Tina is hiding something from Bette.
Whats wrong with Tina?She is so stressed.Thank you for the update.PPS
Boy, they are having real problems right now. So what is Tina not telling Bette? Is she tired of being married, fallen out of love with Bette, having feelings for men. She did tell Shane that she was questioning her commitment to the family already. To me that sounds like she doesn’t want to be married any longer. Maybe she thinks she is missing out on fun or something. Too much responsibility for to be CEO and a mother and a wife plus Bette is wanting another baby. Tina is right about one thing, they are older now and why do they need another baby anyway. Three little ones are enough unless you have household staff and nannies and I don’t believe they do. I think Bette should take a step back and think about what she is asking Tina to take on. I sure as hell would not want another one with all that they have to do now. Bette running a business and Tina CEO of the studio as well. True she could delegate some things but in the end the buck stops at her desk. Tina should tell Bette that she just does not want another child and that she is feeling too much pressure with all that she has to do. Fantastic chapter. Thanks for posting.
Oh man! What is wrong with Tina? Please post soon. Great story.
Ok has Tina found out that she is unable to have more kids or maybe she is ill or something? If you already have three kids one more is not that much more trouble so Tina needs to get off the we’re too old and don’t need more kids kick.She needs to just be honest and stop trying to shift blame to Bette acusing her of wanting to cheat. pps
Oh damn drama!
