The Chase – chapter 26
«He was a stubborn old fool, but I know he loved you very much… I’ll always remember his eyes when he held you for the first time. It was like he was holding a porcelain doll, so afraid he would drop you… He had so much pride in his eyes and he called you his little princess»
«Thank you for telling me this…», Bette said, obviously moved.
«Tell me Bette, do you want to have children with Tina one day?». Mrs Stone saw Bette’s face crumbled and she paled. «Have I said something wrong?»
«No and yes, we’re planning to have a baby really soon… She…we… we lost our first baby recently… It was a little boy», Bette explained, still finding it hard to talk about that part of her life.
«Oh, I’m so sorry… But I’m sure everything will be all right the next time… You and Tina will make great parents», Mrs Stone said.
«Speaking of that», Bette began, «do… do I have any siblings?», she asked.
Mrs Stone smiled. «A brother… His name is Philip. He and his wife Lauren have two beautiful children. Stewart is eight and Anna just turned six»
Bette was overcome by what she had learned. «Do they know about me ?»
Mrs Stone avoided Bette’s eyes, looking uncomfortable. «No, I never told anyone, not even my husband who passed away five years ago…», she said.
«Are you planning to tell Philip now that you have found me ?»
«Yes, as soon as I go back to New York and I’m sure he’ll be delighted to know he has a sister», she replied. Bette noticed how tired Mrs Stone looked, so she stood up. «I’ll let you get your rest now…», she said.
«I really enjoyed this visit, Bette», Mrs Stone told her.
Bette smiled. «Me too… I’ll call you later and maybe you can over to our house for dinner», Bette suggested.
The old woman’s eyes lit up. «I’d like that very much…»
«Sleep well Irene», Bette told her as she left the room. Outside, she leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.
«Babe, are you all right?». Bette opened her eyes and found Tina staring at her with concerned. She smiled weakly. «I’m all right sweetie… Let’s go home now… I have so much to tell you», she said, taking Tina’s hand in hers.

Moving along nicely, loving it.
Great story. I hope Mrs. Stone can tell Bette and Tina a lot more about her family and all the things one would want to know. PPS
M this was a great part of the story cause Irene explained a few things about why and who was her family besides Melvin and wife.
Glad Bette’s warming up to Irene. Hope they can get closer. PPS!!
Good chapter and glad Mrs. Stone are ok. Good that Bette and Mrs. Stone have a little talk and can’t wait to see they get to know each other more. Please post more, thanks!
