Bette paused and looked into Tina’s eyes.
“So, tell me what scares you the most about telling your parents.”
Tina looked away from Bette.
“I’m not really sure Bette. I mean it won’t affect how I live my life. I guess…as lame as it sounds, I just don’t want to disappoint them…not again Bette.”
Tina buried her head in Bette’s shoulder and sobbed hard. Bette held her tight, caressed her hair and rocked her.
“Tina, you owe it to yourself to forgive yourself. You were just a kid. You sacrificed a lot and you have done so much with your life and you are the best mother in the world. You should be canonized, for god’s sakes, not persecuted.”
“Thanks for the unbiased assessment. Babe I don’t regret any of it, not for a minute… It’s just that look in their eyes Bette. I just don’t want to see that look in their eyes again.”
Bette pulled Tina to her and whispered in her ear.
Tina, this time it’ll be different. This time you won’t be alone.”
Tina grabbed onto Bette tighter.
“Bette…”
“It’s okay T”
After a few minutes Tina looked at Bette with tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Bette, thank you…I…”
“Hey T, we still have a week before we have to get back to work, how about we go to Chapel Hill and you can introduce me to your parents?”
“Really Bette, you would do that?”
“Tina, are you kidding? I would do anything for you.”
Tina felt Bette begin to stir. She turned her head toward her love and smiled.
“I love you Babe, thank you so much for helping me through this.”
“Believe me Ms. Kinnard, the pleasure is all mine. How long did I sleep.”
Tina smiled at Bette’s sleepy expression.
“Almost the whole flight. Somebody must have stayed up pretty late last night.”
Bette smiled at Tina’s teasing.
“Well as a matter of fact, I went to bed pretty early, but whenever I started to fall asleep, something just kept waking me up. By the sixth time I just gave up.
Tina giggled and tapped Bette’s arm.
“Wow that must have been pretty horrible.”
Bette reached over and pulled Tina to her.
“Far from it Kinnard. Far from it. I love you.” Bette leaned down and gave Tina a very deep kiss and then asked.
“So have you figured out how you want to do this?”
“Well, I think I really want to get it over with as soon as possible, so I thought you could just drop me at the house and then go check into the hotel and I’ll call when I need an escape or when I think they’re ready to meet you. What do you think?”
“I think it sounds perfect. Just remember to prepare for the worst.”
“I know believe me anything short of calling an exorcist will be good.”
Bette looked at Tina with a quizzical expression.
“They wouldn’t do that would they?”
Tina smiled at Bette.
“No I was just kidding. They’re strict Catholics but they aren’t fanatics or anything.”
The ladies gave each other a weak smile as they heard the pilot announce their decent. They held each other’s hand tightly knowing that the next several hours were likely to be the most trying of their young relationship.

Can’t wait for the next chapter. Tina just has to be strong even though it might be very painful. At least she’s being honest and courageous. PPVS.
Thanks for the update. I hope Tina’s parents aren’t too harsh with her. I think it’s great that Bette went with her to support her. Can’t wait for the next chapter to see what happens.
thanks for the update time will tell
guess whos comming to dinner? pps
I hope her family takes it well. But why shouldn’t they? Tina’s done really well for herself. She’s raised a great daughter, she’s gotten a great education, made money in the real estate market, and now has a nice career, and to top it all off, she’s found someone that loves her completely and would never disrespect or hurt her. What more could a parent want for their child? After her family’s informed, maybe she can work on getting that d-i-v-o-r-c-e. Thank you for the post, Dazed. Cheers! :)
OMG I can’t wait for next chapter. I’m glad their relationship is getting stronger by opening up to eachother.
parents???…we should all do a Drew Barrymore!!
Great update Dazed. Can’t wait for the next post. Thanks.
Great chapter and I can hardly wait for the next one. This will probably be the hardest thing Tina has ever done. When she talks to her parents I think she should let them know that Joe has always stepped outside their marriage and she didn’t she just turned her head to his indescretions. She wasn;t looking for anyone it just happened and it is the best thing that has ever happened to her. She needs to know she has kept their and her values throughout her marriage. She still wants their approval and not wanting to hurt them in the process. It is her life and hopefully they won’t give her too hard a time. Thanks for posting. PPS
Fantastic update. I cannot wait for the next chapter. Please post soon.
Another excellent update. I hope Tina’s parents don’t give her hell and that take it easily :) Thank you for this story :)
Oh God the talk it’s funny how we all want to be that ‘good girl’ for our parents. It’s a hard mold to break. Can’t wait to see her parents reaction. Thanks for the story
WOW!!! Great Chapter!!! I am glad B&T are talking. I just hope Tina’s parents are not to hard on her. Glad Bette went with her. Please bring on the next chapter real soon. Thank you PPVS
No matter what age we are, we still want the approval of our parents. We don’t need it if we are adults, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want it. Crazy!
Oh God, the parents talk. Has got to be the worst talk ever. Hopefully for Tina they will be what all parents should be – supportive.
