Starting Over (44)
Everyone laughed and Tina called out.
“Three down and one to go.”
She reached over and pulled Bette into a hug and planted a kiss right on her lips. Bette jumped back.
“Tina…”
Tina looked around.
“Oh I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
Tom laughed.
“Surprisingly, I think the only uncomfortable one was Bette.”
Annie added with her back to them from the stove.
“Don’t get out of hand. I don’t like too much of that stuff around here between anyone. Got it.”
They all laughed.
“Hey anybody home?”
Tina turned toward her father.
“Dad, can I borrow your bottle of Jameson’s and 2 glasses?”
Tom handed the bottle and the glasses to Tina.
“Wish me luck”
They all smiled at her as she exited the room.
____________________________
Tina practically ran up to her big brother and yelled.
“Tommy….Surprise!”
“Chrissy, I didn’t know you were home.”
“That’s because it was a surprise. C’mon, join me for a drink. I want to talk to you about something.”
“What’s going on? Is this about the divorce? He’s not being a shit to you, is he? You know I’ll kick his ass if you want.”
Tina laughed as she embraced her bear of a brother.
“No, things with the divorce are going really well. Joe and I are really doing it the right way. We spent a lot of time together over the holidays together with Ellie and it’s been really good. We’ve always been really good friends and neither one of is going to jeopardize that.”
“Wow Chrissy I’m impressed. That can’t be easy.”
Tina looked at her big brother and very seriously spoke.
“Tommy, I have something to tell you, and I really have no idea how you’re going to react. It’s kind of scary.”
Tommy took Tina’s hands.
“Chrissy, C’mon get real. You know what everyone says, ‘as far as I’m concerned you can do no wrong’.”
“That’s just it Tommy, I have no idea how you’re going to respond to what I’m going to tell you and I really don’t want to lose my big brother.”
“Chrissy, you are definitely scaring me, but I think I can say without a doubt in my mind that nothing will ever change the way I feel about my little sister.”

So great. I’m loving this story.
Tommy reminded me of Alice. That was great. I which all families were this understanding. Great update.
I generally love the stories here, but I’ve rarely been this hooked… please post very very soon!
Aaah Tommy you’re killin’ me! So much for the “open minded” fire guy…Have I told you lately that I love this story?
What a Great Update!!!! I am glad things went well with Tina’s family. Thank you Love your story!!!! PPS
spectacular, great and awesome. Waoooo what a great family Tina’s got. I wish all families are this undestanding nd supporting. PPVS
Very well done, D&A!
thank you thank you and thank you D&A
Is there a way that I can be part of Tina’s family? I like them a lot.
Tommy’s initial reaction was pretty much what I expected, but I’m glad he came around. Why Tina is so protective of Joe, though, who knows. It’s just as well Tommy never finds out how Joe strayed repeatedly during the marriage, though. I think he’d wipe the floor with Mr J. Wilson, big time. I hope you’re back soon with another post, D&A. Thanks
Maybe someone’s family is like that. I’d like to think so
Round two was quite a round! I enjoyed that so much! Thank you.
THank you for this chapter. I loved how you managed to show that everyone (the mother, the father, the brother and the sister) reacted to the “news” in a different way but at the very end they all seem to feel comfortable with Tina’s choice.At first when I read about the reaction of the brother I was like “grr! What kind of jerk is this guy?” But I think you made him sound pretty realistic and finally this whole chapter show the love there is in Tina’s family.PPS.
I’m so glad Tina’s family was so accepting. I think it helped having Bette there so that they could all meet her and see how happy she makes Tina. She is so fortunate that her whole family had such a good reaction. Thanks for the update!
Hi D&A, Good to finally meet Tina’s brother and sister’s and how they reacted to their little sister’s news. Both were shocked by their sister’s admission that she was in love with a woman. Loved that when the saw the ‘woman’ in question a certain understanding was reached. Tommy was really in denial at first. This was only to be expected given Tina’s marriage and apparent happiness with Joe & Ellie. You have written and honest account of introducing your new love to your family. It was warm and funny. Bette and Tina in a tight clinch and steamy kisses just made my day. Sweet that Bette was accepted by the whole family. Waiting impatiently for your next addition. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
It seems that Tina should have offered another rounds of shots. You can tell that Tina is well respected by her siblings and they only want what’s best for her. It must be nice to have such a family and not the out of sync family experience that it more typical. My family would have been more concerned with what about me instead of what makes Tina happy. Good writing I love this story.
Awesome. Thank you for this story. So loving it :)
OMG I love this story
AWESOME STORY!!!!! THANK YOU!!PPS!
YAY! I love that everything went well :)
Well, thankfully that was not as difficult as it could have been for them. So glad everyone has taken Tina’s coming out with grace even if a little embarassed by their own reaction. Bette’s line to Tommy was priceless. Loved the last couple undates. Thank you for posting so quickly thru this coming out process just as you have done for the rest of the story. Love this story.
The porter charm is a motherfucker, it will destroy and amaze you..Shit!!
