    Author Notes:

    Come here.

    “How do you manage, with Angelica and your work?”

    “I have help, she still goes to The Planet every day after school to spend time with her Aunty Kit, and hopefully start her homework and Shane and Alice are great with her if I have to work in the evening.”

    “I’m sorry, for leaving you to cope. I was scared, and I know that’s no excuse, but I had to get away from everything. What I didn’t realise though was that instead of leaving my problems behind I just created a whole new set of issues, and I didn’t know who to turn to, to get some help.”

    “Yesterday I was thinking about that conversation that we had at The Planet just before you left. I knew that you were trying to tell me something. Something bad that you didn’t want to put into words. I wished that I’d pushed you harder to tell me what it was.”

    “You mean that you didn’t understand?” asked Tina, turning to look at Bette, the surprise evident on her face.

    “I had my suspicions but I didn’t feel like I could just come out and ask you. Of course, in hindsight, I wish that I had, but by then it was too late. You’d gone and I tried to get on with my life with Angelica.”

    “I should have told you. I so wanted to but it was admitting failure, another failure. That’s all that I felt my life was at that time. You, Henry, Angelica and the drink. My four failed relationships laid bare in front of you. It was too hard.”

    “But even after I’d figured it out I didn’t come to see you, to tell you that I would do anything to help you.”

    “Bette, it wouldn’t have made any difference. I didn’t want anyone’s help. I wanted to be alone, to drink myself into a stupor every night. It’s like I said before, only I could make the decision to get better, and now I’ve done that I really do need you to be here for me, and no-one knows more than me how much I don’t even have the right to ask you that.”

    “You can ask me anything, and you know I’ll do it.” smiled Bette, wanting to make Tina feel better.

    1. Perfect, absolutly perfect. Tina admitting she still has issues to deal with, Bette letting her know that no matter what she’s there. Angelica well she’s a bit of both of them, and apparantly the best part. Hopefully they take it nice and slow and work on becoming the family they should be.

    2. Thanks for posting again so soon. What a wonderful surprise! The expressions you convey in your writing just makes every post a pleasure to read. Thanks so much for writing! (PPS)

    3. Yippee! Tina found her brain! And it’s not completely pickled! The goddess of romance smiles upon us all. And given that, I have to refute Madcapper (sorry, Madcapper) but this sea of love shall cure the girl child. And someday, no doubt, if she is her mothers’ daughter, she’ll get wet. But that’s another story.

    6. Bette is so loveable and sweet in this story, Having Angie all this time has done her a world of good. Maybe between, Angie Helena and Bette they can get the loveable caring Tina back. Angie and Bette needs her. thanks

    13. Beautiful, Tina reuniting with friends and family. I’m so glad she seems to be getting better after all this pain! Love your writing, thank you.

    16. Wow, your Bette is incredible… so calm, warm, forgiving, and loving. No wonder Tina is second-guessing her choices… Bette must have been quite the mother to Angel for her not to carry any blame towards Tina. Angel does take after Bette in that way… Thank you, citygirl… for your beautiful writing.

    17. Sounds like a start to a new beginning (as some form of a family). Now Tina just has to stick with staying sober even if she falls off the wagon a time or two.

    21. Nicely written, very poignant reunion . She’s got a support system all around her, now Tina needs to be able to be strong enough to stay on the wagon. Thanks for posting another chapter so soon.

    25. Holy cow, that was awesome! This story has come full circle and keeps getting better.I don’t think I have come as close to shedding tears as I have on this reunion. Bette is amazing. I don’t think I could be half as understanding as she is! Thank you for this story!PPS

    26. Once again it’s so good I can’t wait for me. I have a feeling Angelica’s need for therapy will come later, those pesky teen years. It’s good to see Tina taking responsibility.

    27. Happy New to C-gal75, I do apologize for lurking lately but now that the festive season is over I am catching up with all these wondrous stories. This is a brilliant example of how connect Bette and Tina are; even when they are apart there is a longing between them. They may choose to ignore it but it will eat away at them until they re-unite. You have really captured the sense that Tina is now ready to take on her demons and defeat them from herself. Then she can look towards bonding with her daughter and re-igniting the flame of her life with Bette. What makes this tale stand out is the level of depth you have givem the past; all those mistakes and missed opportunities have brought them all to this time. I want to see it work. Thank you so much for these magical words. Your Loyal Fan.
