“That you can’t get from Niall ?”
“Is Tina always going to be enough for you ?” Sarah snapped back
“Yes “
“Pretty words for now Bette – I don’t want you to hurt her but maybe she needs to come down from her ivy tower and realise that not everyone lives happy ever after”
“Can I ask you – do you love Niall ?”
Sarah dried her eyes and got up. She went to a drinks cabinet and poured two brandies. She handed one to Bette and she sat down. Bette sat on the sofa after closing the sitting room door – she didn’t think this conversation should be over heard by any of the Kennards.
“It will probably shock you but yes – yes I love him “
Bette sipped her brandy
“So “
“So how can I sleep with anyone else ?”
Bette nodded
“We have rules – no sleep-overs, – its just sex and over the years it has been good for us. How many couples do you know who have been together for as long as Niall and I have ?”
“But is that because of what you both have done – or despite ?”
“No one is ever going to know are they ? I know that my men have been a out let that I have needed – an escape “
Bette ran her hand through her damp hair
“Maybe Tina and I are naïve but we don’t want to have a relationship where either of us cheats “
“Its only cheating if the other person doesn’t know – Niall knows everything “
“He knows about David ?”
Sarah nodded “Oh yes – and now it looks like David cannot continue because of Tina”
“Can you blame her ?”
“Yes – its none of her business “
“That might well be true but she is your daughter so she has an opinion. I told her that she had to just let you live your life in the way that you decided. “
“It looks like she has got her own way “
“Do you think its over ?”
Sarah nodded “Yes – it was hard enough to seduce him because he had been Tina’s boyfriend. “ she sighed “ Maybe I should have given him the weekend off so they wouldn’t see one another. No – it over – he’s seen her and its messed with his head – her comments didn’t help “

Great chapter, REALLY uncomfortable situation..PPS!
Sarah makes no sense. Its just sex.. but if its just sex you don’t bawl when its over. Plus, its kind of weird she had to go out to “seduce” someone who had fucked her kid. Its certainly emotional, not just sex, if you are weeping about it. Seems like she has a new found respect for Bette but she sounds kind of unstable with her personal relationships (sexual, marriage, family). I guess I would see it a little differently if it was just something you did on the side, didn’t let it effect the family, and it wasn’t likely known all about for your kids to have to deal with.. but fucking the help is like some guy sleeping with his childrens nanny. Its dragging it home, bringing the family into it, instead of being some private adult thing. Anyway, Sarah annoys me so Ill be happy if they spend Christmas with the gang. Maybe Willow could visit Tina soon. But, I still love this story immensely and I’m looking forward to B/T meeting in the new one.
That was a very difficult chapter and you handled it very well, with Bette being very gallant in protecting Tina and teying to help Sarah understand how Tina and the rest of them feel about her wanton ways. Maybe Sarah will start to think seriously thst her lifestyle is very damaging to her family and you can not always have what you want w/o hurting the ones you love most. Good that Bette was able to talk with Sarah and just maybe Sarah will see the truth in their talk. Great chapter and you handled it very well AllyE.
Sarah is one confused mom! she cries, heartbroken and she KNEW it was tina’s ex.. WTF? why does she need an escape, hwy don’t her and hubby just TALK instead of seeking else where… awesome update! :)PPS
Ally, Such a wonderful chapter. I am glad Bette sat down and made Saraha talk to her. I kinda agree with Audi. Thank you
Very uncomfortable for the whole family. It must be hard for the Kids,that their Mom sleeps with every Tom,Harry and David over the yrs and that their Dad did the same. At least the Mom talk to Bette. If it worked this long then so be it. Tina just need to shut her mind to it. thanks
Wow, it’s really difficult to live this kind of life, but I hope it won’t affect their relationship that much. Loved it Ally, we certainly missed you. Thanks Hun
Sorry, but David was right-Tina was a bitch, to him and her mother. While Sarah contradicts herself by saying it was only sex when clearly she CARED for David, similarly, Niall’s decade long extramarital relationship also seems to indicate some level of connectedness between them. But Niall DOES approve of (or is at least neutral) Sarah’s romantic activities. Finn doesn’t seem to have expressed an opinion, so how does Bette conclude that none in the family approved? And given the agreement between Niall and Sarah, it really is no one else’s business. Tina needs to grow up, live her own life, and let her parents live THEIR’S. They are adults and have a right to live as they choose, just like Tina. And just because Bette is in love with Tina really doesn’t give her the right to chastise David when it was her beloved that started all the unpleasantness. Nor should Bette use her love for Tina as a reason to violate other peoples’ confidences. Maybe Bette should be reminded that she really was the one who began all the drama by passing along Sarah’s business to Tina when it was no business of her own.
thx funnyone. i dont have enough time to write all that. thx ally
Well, I won’t pretend to understand how people can have open relationships. However, I do think that parents need to be cognisant of the effects that their actions have on their children. Tina was aware of these affairs when she was growing up and was bothered and embarrassed by them, as Willow is now. I have no problem with Niall and Sarah doing their own thing as long as it is discreet enough not to hurt their children. Now, having said that, Tina is no longer a child (Willow is)and lives far from her parents, so she does need to grow up now and recognize they live their own life. Great chapter Ally…caused some interesting debate!
Very difficult situation but I fell Tina needs to just move on with it…it’s not her life and because of the way her parents live she knows that she’ll never want that! Sure it’s hard to except but at the end of the day if someone is happy ley them be! PPS
While I understand Tina’s dislike for the situation, in the end it’s her mother and father’s life and she doesn’t have a say in it. Although i find it amusing that Sarah wants her opinion to matter to Tina, but quickly disregards Tina’s. I also find it a bit icky that Sarah would knowingly go after a man that had been with Tina. Wonder if that would make Tina worry that she would go after Bette! LOL. It was a nice convo between Bette and Sarah. I curious as to what happened to Sarah in her early years that would make her not want to give a non open marriage a chance…Did Tina’s Dad cheat on her once? Did she watch her own father cheat on her mother? She obviously feels this is the only way to keep a relationship going. Curious. Well…excellent update as usual!
This story gets more and more complex as we go along. Tina was so happy about going home for the holidays and now she wants to just be with Bette in LA. Families can change things in a hurry. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, your faithful fans.
If I were Tina I would want to stay in LA for Christmas too. She must feel horrible. Her mom is a total raving lunatic! I’m sure Sarah could find someone else to “just have sex” with besides Tina’s ex. Sarah says that one of the prices she pays for her life style is that she can’t cry to her husband and children when her heart is broken…why is her heart broken if it’s just sex? I loved the way Bette stood up to David. Excellent story Ally! More please!
Ally, FINALLY got caught up on this one GREAT as always. Hope all is well and you will post MORE SOOONNNN!! thankyou!
WONDERFUL writing Ally, you REALY did a great job with this chapter. I agree with Bette that Tina (as an adult) needs to stop judging her parents and let then live their lives. I don’t pretend to understand Sarah’s reasoning behind sleeping with David or the reasons for an open relationship. It could stem from both their backgrounds or early adulthood. I do know that it apparently help them maintain a healthy and unified home in which Tina and her sibilings could be raised. I think that Sarah’s tears where for the lost of the relationship that was serving both herself and David. It may not have been that long lived without Tina’s intervention. I am as surprised by Tina and some of the readers reactions to Sarah’s actions while ignoring that fact that Naill’s is doing pretty much the same thing. Tina doesn’t want her parents to break up, well it appears that their sexual excapades is what is helping keeping them together. PPS :o).
I love this story, and I love the depth of emotion that you write with. Thank you for posting!
SAD…lucky tina has bette. pps
A difficult situation for any daughter to wrap her head around. Excellent convo between Mom and Bette. PPS.
A great chapter… made more great by Bette liking Nick Drake and the Twins (I LOVE 4ad… best label ever). I hope they resolve things so they can have a nice family christmas =)
Terrific writing! I think Tina was probably nice compared to what I would’ve been. I am glad that Bette reached out to Sarah despite the circumstances. I do wonder if Sarah didn’t go after David because he was Tina’s ex. I hope Tina can find some resolution to her troubles with her parents lifestyle.
That was great, the family things is sad and Tina’s parents situation is complicated but Tina need to let her parents live their life. Good Bette is there for Tina. Anyway please post more, thanks!
