Tina tried to smile.
“Can’t a girl come home for a visit without everyone thinking something is wrong?”
Tina’s mother looked skeptically at Tina.
“Well, I guess you can, but I’m not fooled for a minute. Come and give your mother a hug while you decide if you’re going to tell me why you’re really here.”
Tina embraced her mother tightly.
“Tom, why don’t you go and get us a bottle of wine? Oh, and grab the cheese tray that’s in the fridge, and some crackers, okay?”
“Sure ladies, hey, should I call Margaret and Tommy?”
Annie, smiled at Tom.
“No, not yet. Let’s keep our little girl to ourselves for now.”
When Tom left, Tina’s mother looked at Tina.
“Christina, what’s going on? Are you having second thoughts about the divorce? You know Joe would get back together in a heartbeat.”
Tina smiled at her mother’s perceptiveness.
“Mom, I am here to talk to you about something. I just don’t want to hurt you or Daddy again and I really don’t know how to begin.”
“Christina, what are you talking about? Hurt us again? When have you ever hurt us?’
“Mom, come on…You know…how about when I came home pregnant at 17?”
“Christina, you didn’t hurt your father and I, I admit we were scared to death. We didn’t even know the boy. We were heartbroken that you had lost your chance at the life you wanted. Christina, you worked so hard. You wanted the Ivy League education and to be a big time movie producer. Honey, those kind of dreams, they were way out of our league. We just wanted you to be happy.”
Tina smiled at her mother with tears in her eyes.
“Mom, that means a lot. I mean, I made my choices and once I held Ellie I’ve never regretted it for a minute. Joe and I made a good home and I think for the most part we’ve been happy, but I guess I’ve always felt that I’d let you and Daddy down.”
Tom had just come back from the kitchen and heard the last part of Tina’s statement.
“Chrissy, let us down. Are you kidding me? From the moment you brought that child home you were the best mother possible. Do you know how many times we have marveled at the fact that you never, I mean never, put anything ahead of that child. Chrissy, you were still so young. While your friends were partying at college, you were changing diapers and building a life for your daughter.”

Can’t wait to see how they react to Bette! PPS
Hey D&A, Loved the stunned and shocked response from Tina’s parents. Her father’s line “Are you pregnant?” had me LOL. Too funny. Can hardly type as tears roll down my cheeks. What was great to read was how Ann and TOm rationalized their daughter’s emotions and whole being then invited her lover to their house. This shows an openess and caring nature. Having a contented and happy child is their ultimate aim rather than one who conforms to the hetero lifestyle. I am sure that sparks will fly when them meet Bette. I just can’t wait so please continue real soon. Your Loyal Fan. (Yes, still chuckling…)
DNA! You did not just leave it there…pass me the whiskey!!!
oh i can not wait for them to meet Bette.I love this story, Tinas parents will be cool, i hope.
Oh are they in for a treat. I believe when they meet the gorgeous Porter, they will be in awe of her beauty and they will see just how much she loves Tina. It’s written all over her face and her actions always. They will see and feel the force of their love and will not be able to deny it. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thanks for posting.

OMG! Bettes gunna knock ’em dead for sure.
LOVE IT!!!! MORE PLZ
That was goooood!
There is always PFLAG, the PTA for gays and lesbians LOL. Never too late to get involved mom and dad. Thanks for the post Dazed, awesome as usual.
At least, Tina’s parents have negatively taken the news lol, because parents????? they’re most of th time sucks pmsl. I am hppy for Tina that her parents are wiling to give it a shot and make sure Bette love s thir daughter. I am confident Bette willknock them out for sure lol. PPVS
It seems like it’s going well. Her parents love her and who can turn down Bette’s charm. Thanks
That was fantastic, D. Wait till dad takes a look at Bette………boo-yaa. Even, mom, noticed how Tina reacted when she spoke about Bette. D, let’s see some Irish sparks fly, but at in the end love all around. please post the next chappy soon.
A truly great chapter ! I love the very realistic way you depict the parents’ reaction : one can easily see they’ll put their love for their daughter above anything else, but at the same time it’s a huge concept to digest and, my, isn’t it usual for the old generation after all ? As a man, and an obviously sensitive and sweet one, Tom will certainly be stunned by Bette’s gorgeous appearance and so polite and brilliant attitude. I think it will be harder for Annie to accept her, until she’ll fully realize how deeply her Tina is loved. Dear author, you so perfectly paint this scene, I’m more than ever hooked by this masterpiece of a story you created ! Thank you so much for the gift – I mean it. With all my reader’s gratitude and true joy – A.
I can’t wait for them to meet Bette! I just hope Tina’s dad doesn’t drink too much and say something inappropriate…
Well that went a LOT better than it could have, especially after the revelation with Joe. I think most parents would be praying it was mid-life crisis.
PHOOEY more please…….I cannot wait until they meet Bette and see them both together…they will get it !!!! great update
A couple of glasses of Irish whiskey will kind of numb some of their pain. Then they’ll meet Bette and they will love her. PPS.
Wow! Great update. Can’t wait to see what happens when they meet Bette. Thank you :)
