Starting Over (43)
Tina squeezed Bette’s hand. Bette looked at Tina and gave her a shy smile.
Tom leaned in and filled everyone’s wine glasses.
“Bette, very impressive. A real self made woman. I admire that. Any marriages or kids along the way?”
Tina glared at her father.
“Tina, I really didn’t mean anything by that, I really was just trying to get to know her. Bette, I’m sorry if I offended you in any way.”
“No offense taken Mr…um, Tom…I’m a 39 year old woman. Everyone assumes a husband, a divorce, a partner, or kids. Unfortunately, I have never really been in the kind of long term committed relationship that one needs in order to raise a family.”
Annie looked at Bette curiously.
“Are you in one now?”
“Mom…
“Tina, it’s a fair question. Annie, Tom…I know it’s still very early in our relationship…but …I have never, and I mean, never, been a relationship like this before. Don’t get me wrong, I have always been a lesbian and I have dated women since I started college, but nothing has come close to how I feel about your daughter. I have never given my heart to another before. I feel like…I have been searching for Tina my whole life. I…um, I take this relationship very seriously…I love your daughter with all that I am.”
Tina smiled at Bette and pulled her into a hug. After a moment Bette pulled away from the hug and faced Tina’s parents.
“I’m sorry I guess I got a little carried away.”
Annie reached for Bette’s hand.
“No dear, please don’t apologize. It was good for us to hear how you feel about Tina. It’s obvious that you and Christina care for each other a great deal. I’m glad we’re getting a chance to get to know you. So how long will you two be staying?”
Tina jumped in to answer the question.
“Well we thought we’d stay until Monday. That gives us two whole days. Are you guys up for that?”
“Chissy don’t be silly, you know we’ll be hounding you to stay longer. Are you guys staying here?”
“Dad that’s nice of you to offer, but maybe for this trip we’ll stay at the hotel.”
Everyone let out a nervous laugh. Annie looked at Tina.

Just so good. Engaging, charming and nice to read instead of MacKenzie Phillips and her incestuous father. Ewwww! Keep on going. You have a good sense of humor and realistic dialogue.
Very good story. The relationship between B&T is sweet and playful although she is serious. Just full of love. Hope to read more soon. Thank you.
I’m with t_a. Just love this story, cant wait to see what you have for us next. PPS
I am still in awe of Tina’s parents. Will bro and sis be as open-minded as mom and dad?? It’s great to know that T’s parents can see that she is happy. I cannot wait for the next chappy and see what bro and sis say….. PPS
so nice that Tina’s parents were so welcoming of Bette.. But who wouldnt with that beauty! thanks for the double dose… looking forward to more chapters soon.
This update was wonderful! I only wish my parents would be that understanding like Tinas parents. I really love the story your telling. Keep up the good work!
Me too – so happy about the welcome for Bette – too bad the ‘family value’ bigots don’t read fan fiction. And thank you for assuming the ‘scientist-type’ is open-minded – we ARE! PPS.
Just had to say I love this story! These last few chapters have been so great to read. PPS!
Great story. It’s nice to know some parents know the meaning of love.
I absolutely love this story….Bette and Tina are just great….more more
Great update Dazed, happy about Tina’s parents being cool about Bette, hopefully big bro won’t be a problem. Thanks for the post.
Great update…god I love this story! I really enjoy reading about this particular B&T relationship. BTW there are some pretty open-minded public safety folks out there. I’m holding out hope for Michael’s reaction.
Hm, Mr & Mrs K did alright there. I hope Tommy and Margaret are just as open minded… but I think once Tommy finds out that Joe was cheating on Tina, he might just want to pummel the guy. Great update, DnA, as ever. I look forward to your posts. Thanks! :)
that went so well…uh azmama where did the mackenzie phillips stuff come into it?as i said Great and i’m happy tins’s parents took it well. how i wish [sigh]…parents can wreck thingd.
Hi D&A, You are are really spoiling me with all these recent posts. Keep them coming I say. Just so brilliant to read. This story is honest and emotive: Bette and Tina’s love and affection shone through when they were chatting to Tina’s parents. Ann and Tom had to admit they saw and felt the fondness and tenderness between their daughter and new new love. This is hte real deal. Tina and Bette were so lovable once alone. The fun aspect of their relationship appeared. I am sure there will be pay-back later on. It was heartwarming that Tina’s folk gave Bette a chance and accepted her into their family. This is a difficult journey and having the support of those you hold most dear is important. Now I can’t wait to read how their dinner with Tina’s siblings works out. More please and soon would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for satifying my addiction. Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks for the update. I’m so glad Tina’s parents are being kind and understanding. I’m like Bette though, continue to expect the worst, that way you won’t be disappointed. I do hope the siblings have a positive reaction too.
All parents should take a lesson from Tom and Annie
What an excellent update. Thank you :)
Wonderful Update!!! I am glad that Annie and Tom are being open minded about Beete and Tina. Now what are Tina’s bother and sister going to do? This story is so Great!!!! Thank you PPVS
