The Burden of Control – Chapter 5
Bette: (confused) I
said that I was sorry.
Kit: Thats the
difference, Bette. Melvin never once apologized. Not to you, not to meand
certainly not to out mothers. He just
went to the next woman like it meant nothing to him.
Bette: It doesnt
matter. A cheater is a cheater. Im no better than him.
Kit: Bette its not
the same.
Bette: Isnt it? I
mean I loved Tina and I vowed to honor her and our commitment to one
anotherthat meant something to me. It meant the world to me. (pauses) (sadly)
I dont know how that changed.
Kit: (kindly)
Sometimessometimes people just drift apart.
Bette: We stopped
talking. WeI took her for granted. I even questionedwhile we were in
therapyif I was starting to fall out of love.
Kit: Were you?
Bette: NoI dont
know. I know that having children togetherwell I know that it doesnt fix
problems. But when we found out she was pregnant. (smiles) God, it was the best
feeling in the world. Id watch her sleep and Id place my hand on her stomach
and just imagine the little life growing inside of her. It was amazing. And
there were times when Id look at herreally look at herand Id see love and
happiness reflected in her eyes. Things started to feel right again (sadly)
But then after we lost(pauses) afterwards, I just didnt know how to reach
her. I didnt know how to be there for her. I wasnt thereit was my fault.
Kit: Baby girl, it was
NOT your fault.
Bette: I should have
been thereat the doctors office, but I got held up at work. ***** work. By
the time I got there, Tina was already gone. Kit, she drove herself home after
learning that she lost the baby. She had to ***** drive herself home. I
wasnt ***** there for her. (pauses) When I got home, I promised myself that
Id be strong for her. When I saw herin
our bedroomsobbing, grieving for out babyI just gathered her up and held her.
Kit: You had no way of
knowing.
Bette: Thats not the
point. I should have been there. She
shouldnt have gone through that alone. (pauses) Its no wonder why she didnt
tell me about this pregnancy.
Kit glances up at her sister. Her jaw is set and outwardly
she shows no real emotion. But looking at her eyes, Kit could see pain and
disappointment.
Kit: Bettehave you talked to Tina about this
baby?
BetteNo. (pauses) She
doesnt know that I know. I dont want to bring it upI dont want her getting upset.
Kit: But Bette.
Bette: (interrupts)
Kit, no. I wont cause her any more undo stress. Shes been through enoughbecause of me. I
wouldnt want to be the cause of something happening to her baby.
Kit: You dont think
Bette: I wont risk
it. If Tina wanted me to know about it, then she would have told me weeks ago.
Kit: She was very
upset a few weeks ago. Shes had time to process things…you both have. Maybe
she needed time
Bette: Time to what?
Move on? Isnt that what shes already one with
Kit: You dont know
how serious that all is. You certainly cant take
yourself, she doesnt like you. Maybe shes building up her relationship more
than it really is just to make you angry and jealous.
Bette: Well shes
doing a good job.
Kit: Can I ask you a
question?
Bette: You know you
can.
Kit: Bette I want an
honest answer. Completely honest.
Bette: (wary) Ok.
Kit: Are you still in
love with Tina?
(TBChopefully tomorrow)
