Tom looked down at his hands and spoke quietly.
“Chrissy, your right, at first as I walked over to ask your mother to dance I was taken by her beauty and manner, but when she took my hand to dance…Chrissy, I was lost. I don’t think I had a coherent thought for a month after. It was then. Chrissy, I wasn’t some naïve kid. I was a star foot ball player in high school. I had spent 3 years in the Navy and almost a year in the Department. There were a lot of dances in those years and at 24 years old I was reduced to a lost child. I was scared to death.”
Annie smiled at her husband and squeezed his hand. Tina looked at her mother.
“And you Mom?”
Annie blushed and looked down.
“Well, he was so handsome, but when he asked me to dance. It was those eyes. They held so much… I couldn’t take my eyes away. He held my hand and it just felt so right. Christina, when he held me as we danced, I felt so safe…It took a date or two to really make me sure, but I guess I’d have to say it was the dance. I’d never felt anything even close…Honey, why all the questions? Is this about you and Joe?”
Tina looked away from her parents and whispered.
“In a way Mom, I never felt that way about anyone. Don’t get wrong, I love Joe. It’s just never been like that, you know…Well, I met someone and I started to think that maybe I had to explore that there might be more out there, you know, something deeper? Well… that’s why Joe and I separated.”
Tina paused and looked at her parents before she continued.
“Mom, Dad I’ve found that kind of love. I’m really in love.”
Tina’s mother took her hand.
“Christina, we know you and Joe have decided to divorce, from everything you’ve said you’re both being very mature about it and Ellie is fine. Of course, we would expect that you would be dating. Why would you think we’d be hurt of upset with you? We’re happy for you.”
“Mom, it’s not that simple.”
Tom, took Tina’s hands, and spoke.

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.

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 :)
