Something so right – Chapter 101
“Tina said she had shown up out of the blue “
“Out of the 27 year old blue “ Bette said “ his infidelity almost drove my mother into a breakdown – it certainly shaped who I became – it hardened him – made him cold -well colder I suppose and he was impossible to get close to. All I ever wanted was his approval and love – neither of which I ever got. He told me I would burn in the fires of hell because I am gay. Whatever I did was never good enough – if I finished 2nd in my class he would be disappointed that I wasn’t 1st . What I am saying to you Sarah is that you don’t let what is happening spoil your relationship with your kids or his relationship with his kids. I know that Tina is in turmoil and so is Finn and I imagine that Willow is worried sick and trying to get home sometime soon. They are all good people as you say – you have every right to be proud of each one of them – its been a shock so let the dust settle. Certainly take a look at my spreadsheets, any help you need you know where I am – but just let things calm down. Get some help on the farm – you can almost fund two staff for a couple of months out of petty cash without dipping into your profits. Do that – and let yourself grieve and think. But please don’t try and get Ti, Finn and Willow on your side – it will back fire. I won’t let him do that with Tina or Finn “
Sarah didn’t speak for several minutes
“You are really good for Ti “
“She is really good for me “
“You talk a lot of sense and I am very grateful for everything that you have said and done and just been there for all of us – I know how highly Finn thinks of you. But I need to protect myself – I will try and do it without involving my children” she sighed.
“Did you have any idea what was going on ?”
Sarah laughed “No and that’s – well its not that its galling – its annoying. If I had suspected him of seeing someone else
and he hadn’t told me I would have known how serious it was and I would have been able to brace myself or get out myself. When he told me that she’d had his baby”
For the first time she looked teary but after a few minutes of silence she shook her head and looked at Bette
“Well – it wasn’t what I was expecting “
Bette sighed “We just barged in on him and her – the atmosphere needed a chain saw to cut it . I could feel Tina seething next to me “
“For some reason Tina and Willow have inherited my temper while as you saw from Finn’s fist he’s like Niall “
Bette laughed “ I do see the similarities “
“Tina says you are very like your mother “
“I am and its spooky and it does un-nerve Tina at times “
“I would be grateful if you keep telling Tina that I am not the baddie here – she has always been a daddy’s girl “
Bette looked at Sarah
“Tina might have been daddy’s girl once but she is Bette’s girl now “

“Tina might have been daddy’s girl once but she is Bette’s girl now ” I love this line:)great chapter. PPS
Hey AllyE, It is a happy Thursday now that you have posted more of this great story.This chappie was amazing.Tina and Finn sorting through their thoughts and feelings was so loving and tender. They really do look after each other. The cake stealing was precious.Then Tina speaking to Sarah and Bette was interesting especially when Bette stepped in to light the atmosphere and stop Tina and Sarah arguing over Niall’s behavior and actions.Bette and Sarah’s heart-to-heart was brilliant. Given Sarah’s initial reaction to Bette, thsi shown how many she has changed. Sarah sees that Bette is perfect for Tina. She will protect and defend her daugther constantly. Bette will challenge and comfort Tina at every turn.It is great to read such an honest expose of a mother to her daughter’s girlfriend chat. This is all about the acceptance.More please as I feel Niall and Sarah have much to sort out.Ally, as ever you blow me away with your talent.Thank you is so inadequate yet it is heartfelt and truthful,Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
Wondrful Chapter!!! Tina needs to stop sticking up for her dad. I am glad Sarah and Bette are talking and get on so well. Thank you PPS
Yes, she is indeed Bette’s girl now and what a girl. Hope Sarah will heed Bette’s advice, she does need an attorney and quickly for her own sake or she will be blindsided again. That girl will make Niall do somethings against Sarah just to have her own way and he is too ignorant to see what will be happening. Good that Tina dn Finn could talk about the farm and what their father is doing. Would love to have shared those scones with them. Love scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Delish !!!!!!. Thanks for posting.

Bette is really brave. Normally you just can’t win in such a situation. It doesn’t take much to stand in the cross fire.
“She´s Bette´s girl now” – perfect line. Seems young Gemma might cause a lot of problems – maybe even some for Niall. Thanks for posting.
GREAT chappie Ally. I also hope that Sarah takes Bette’s advice and get a good lawyer, maybe Bette or her mother could recomend someone. I hope that Bette can help open Tina’s eyes to a true picture of her father. Not only was it cowardous how he waited until after he had a child to leave his family, but it is also LOW how he had let Sarah bear the brunt of the children’s rage about their open marriage which he more than willing participated in. As I said before, Sarah deserves credit for at least being honest and open with her children and I hope that it does not take too long for Tina, Finn and Willow to realize this. PPS :o).
Thanks for the update. I’m glad we got to hear Sarah’s perspective of her relationship with her husband. It always seemed unfair to me that Tina placed more of the blame for the open marriage arrangement on her mother. Maybe now she’ll be able to see if more clearly and start building a better relationship with her.
Loved the last line. Excellent update. Thank you.
Thanks for the great update.
Looks as if there is going to be a shift here……with tina and her mom…and Sarah’s role
So Sarah is not really what Niel’s painted of her?…she’s not the “one” who has a bad behavior?…WHICH ONE WHO’S TELLING THE TRUTH?
