“Hey Sweetie why don’t you come in here for a second.” she saw how the girl was upset with herself as she threw her hands up with a groan as she stepped from the booth to the studio to meet Bette. Bette padded the seat on the couch next to her, she sat down and buried her face into her hands.
“Hey, hey, hey come on it’s not that bad, but it’s not the best.” she saw her wince at her words. “Do me a favor and close your eyes, go on close them.” she did and listened as Bette spoke so smoothly to her. “Do you remember the little Lounge in Oakland where you were performing before.” she nodded. “Alright so think back to the lounge, the smell off it, the feel of the lights on you, the sound of the bar in the background, and the slow hush of the crowd as they realize you have some power behind you, the moment when the sound of forks hitting plates stopped and they gave you all of their attention. Can you feel it?” she nodded again. “Alright so give me some of it.”
Bette watched as the girl licked her lips and sat up straight smiling and bobbing her head to the same beat she’d heard all day now playing in her head. She belted out the notes and blew Bette away with the raw power of her voice and the purity of it right in her face made her want to smile. It was so beautiful to see her find a confidence and rhythm that she wanted.
“Now that is what I want in there, you got it Momma, you just need to see it coming from a place where you’re comfortable. Then everything will come together as you want it.” she opened her eyes and gave Bette a genuine smile for the first time that day. “Alright give me about five minutes and then head back into the booth.” the girl left and went into the kitchen while Bette sat at the boards playing with the beat a little bit more. She walked back in and dimmed the lights in the booth and headed back in with a cup of green tea feeling a little bit more relaxed than before. Right when they’d gotten back into the swing of the recording the door burst open and in walked all three of her children followed by Alice who was out of breath trying to catch up to them.

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!
