“Hello – wow – anything I can do ? What’s that Tina – great carrots – my favourite ! “
Bette walked in smiling
“Hello Bette – take a seat “
“No – let me help. I am the world’s worst cook but Tina will testify that my assistant skills are unsurpassable “
“Thank you Bette could you drain the peas for me – the colander are hanging up over there – then put them in that white bowl “
In five minutes the dinner was served and Niall had come in from outside and Tina’s mom had lifted a casserole dish from the aga and placed it on a trivet in the centre of the table. Bette watched as everyone helped themselves so she waited until Tina had helped herself to the carrots and she took the bowl from her lover.
“You have to be prepared to leap in “ Niall said who had been watching Bette
“Message received “
“Especially when our other two are here “
“You make them sound like savages – mind you – they have their moments “
“How are my baby sister and baby brother ? “ Tina asked.
“Finn is getting taller – its like his body hasn’t told him to stop growing “
“How’s his band ?”
“Loud – they practice in the lower barn “
“That will keep the rats away from it “ Tina laughed
“What about Willow ?”
“She is fine – she has lost her puppy fat and she’s going to be as beautiful as you “
Tina smiled “Thank you – where is she tonight ?”
“Running her taxi service “ Sarah raised her eyebrows and chuckled
“Do you have any brothers and sisters Bette ? “ Niall asked
“I have a older half sister “ Bette said “Kit – she’s ten years older than me “
“And what does she do ?”
“She’s a session musician and nightclub singer “
Niall nodded “What sort of stuff ?”
“Jazz, old stuff – she has a beautiful voice “
Tina knew that Bette really didn’t want to get into a longer conversation about her sister. She swallowed a piece of meat and looked at Bette
“Did I tell you that my mom is the most amazing cook ?”
“You did and you were right -this is a superb meal – the vegetables are so tasty – I take it that they are all home-grown ?”
“Thank you Bette – nice of you to say so “
“We are starting to expand our veg box business – we get orders from four states “
“How long do you think it would take us to get through one of your family’s veg boxes Tina ?”
“I don’t know “
“We would love to send you a box each “ Niall said
Bette smiled and looked sideways at Tina
“Ah – mm – well there is something that I haven’t told you both yet “ Tina reached for more potatoes
“What’s that ?” Sarah raised her eyebrow at Tina
“Bette and I are now living together “
Niall smiled but Bette saw the frown come across Sarah’s face. Bette knew that Sarah still needed convincing about their relationship – as Helena had predicted – she was a tougher audience to impress rather than Tina’s father.
“How long is that Tina ?” Niall asked
“Just since Sunday – I asked Bette on Saturday and she said yes and we moved her gear in – so its less than a week – we are doing great so far aren’t we babe ?”
“We are both on our best behaviour so there hasn’t been any rows “ Bette smiled
“Do the two of you row a lot ?” Sarah asked coolly
Bette spoke deciding that it was time she defended her relationship with Tina.
“Tina and I are amazingly compatible – we are friends as well as lovers. I have a reputation for being pretty tough in business – we both have tough jobs that mean we cannot show any weakness but when we are together “ Bette looked at Tina with love in her eyes “ we are so happy. We suit one another – it’s a great relationship and I know that I want to make Tina happy with all my heart “
“You do make me happy “ Tina replied looking at Bette. Tina looked at her mother “I regard Bette as my life partner – its not a fad that I will grow out of – this is the woman I know that I am going to spend my life with “

so mom’s not quite convinced or is mom herself a ‘hasbian’ thinking that this indeed might be a phase?
Great chapter Ally! LOL at funnyone, but aga’s new to me too. PPS!!
Tina and her Mom are going to have to have the mother-daughter chat soon so things can have a chance of being friendly. I look forward to the meeting of the siblings.
Great story. My grandmother called her “aga”,a wood burning stove!
catching up
What the hell’s an aga? I don’t blame Sarah a bit. A mother should not be too easily won over. Even so, I’m sure Bette will do so by the end of the visit. If Finn and Willow have already had a chance at the bathroom, can Bette get a little shower action?
WOW bette’s meets mom wonder what tina’s mom needs to talk to her about? i can see these enjoying themselves on the farm, can’t wait tina’s siblings meet bette. :)PPS awesome ally
Funnyone – i can understand most of your questions but an aga ! its a giant oven/stove powered by logs or coal/coke. not everyone cooks solely with the microwave like some people of my close aquaintance !! xx
And I bet when the wind shifts to coming from the direction of the barn it won’t be smelling so fresh. Could get kind of ‘earthy’.
Tina’s mom is just trying to make sure…hopefully by the end of the visit she will lighten up alot! PPS
Don’t take that tone with me Emmerson! I’ve been in quite a few American kitchens, even in older, traditional homes (one or two on farms) and not one of them had a device called an aga. And I can’t help it if I was raised by wolves.
Wonderful chapter. As funnyone remarked, Moms are supposed to be discerning b/c no one is good enough for their baby girls although Bette is a perfect 10+ on a scale of 1 to 10. Bette is just amazingly delicious. I’m pretty good around a kitchen but never heard of an “aga”. Is it short for another word? PPS b/c I love your writing.
Yeah, Tina and her Mom should talk…let’s not forget Niall had that opportunity when he was in LA with Tina. Sarah has just met Bette, so there would be some hesitation…that would be natural. Maybe Sarah and Bette will have a discussion before they leave just like Bette and Niall had one. Great job again Ally!
Can’t wait until Bette meets the rest of the family thanks
I like Tina’s mom despite her being tough but it is how most mothers are, she doesn’t want her daughter to get hurt or not to be sure about what is she doing. You are incredible Ally and I totally missed you and your regular posts. Thank you Hun for this lovely chapter and post soonLove
Man, the Mom is kinda bitchy so far. I’m totally down with the fact she shouldn’t be won over in a few minutes by anyone.. but it seems like some of the problem is that Tina’s with a woman. Hopefully I’m wrong and she is just shocked by the fact they are moving quickly.
Sweet – look forward to hearing what mom’s worries are and how Tina let’s her know it’s all good.
Good chapter. Tina’s mom is hard to convinced but Bette will win her after all. Please post more, thanks!
