The Journey 41
Bette makes her way home
Bette: “James, I’ve changed my mind, I am going to go now.” I can imagine James looking at his watching.
James: “Goodnight Bette.” It’s
I turn off my computer and ponder what Tina has been doing all day that she has not answered either the home or her cell phone. I have decided to leave a little earlier than usual in case everything is not OK. In the car I turn the music down and dial the home phone.
Tina: “Hello baby.”
Bette: “Hey Tee. I’ve trying to reach you all day.”
Tina: “Sorry Bette.”
Bette: “It’s OK, I’m on my way home, is everything all right there?”
Tina: “See when you get here baby.”
I pull into the drive way and I have hardly closed the car door before Tina is standing at the front door and
Bette: “You started dinner with out me?” It’s a question more than anything else, if I am honest I am probing.
Tina: “I hope that’s OK sweetie, I just wanted to get it under way.”
Bette: “Uh huh. No problem Tee. Will it be a few a minutes, I might shower and freshen up it that’s OK?”
Tina: “Sure.” And I have never known Bette to shower before dinner unless we are going somewhere. Most times she could not care less whether she ate or not.
Bette: I head to bathroom and run the shower. I reach up and place my right hand on the top of the shower screen while I think. I try to keep my thoughts under control. If it was something bad, she would not have set the table I tell myself. I she has decided to leave, she would not cook dinner, she would have packed suitcases. Perhaps it is something good. The thoughts run wildly through my head as the hot water pounds down on me. No matter what it is I will try to deal with it with good grace and dignity. That is what I tell myself as I turn the shower off and reach out for the fresh fluffy white towel Tina has provided me with. I head to the bedroom and slip into some comfy jeans and a casual shirt, I do not put any shoes on. I make my way through the lounge into the dinning area and Tina is seated at the table, her hands clasped in front of her. She has lit two candles, I am terribly confused what is happening. I go to the fridge and get a sparkling water, Tina says she does not want one.
Bette: “Where’s
Tina: “Playing in her room. She ate already”
I do not answer. I sit at the table and wait. That
Bette: “It’s lovely Tee.” And it is not lost on me that she has not looked up or hardly eaten a thing. I put my fork down and reach out for her hand. “Tina, whatever it is, tell me.” I say gently. I have one leg tucked under the other knee, trying to appear relaxed.
Tina: “I don’t know how to.” I almost whisper and shale my head.
Bette: “Just say it.” I encourage her. Silence. “Is it us, are you not happy, maybe this is not working as well for you are for me?” For the first time Tina looks up, making direct eye contact and simultaneously squeezes my hand.
Tina: “Are you happy Bette?”
Bette: “Yes.” I say without hesitation. “But Tina, if you are not, then” and Tina puts her finger to her mouth and makes a shoosh sound. I stop talking.
Tina: “I am happy Bette. I think things have been going really well, it’s not us.” I do not let go of Bette’s hand.
Bette: “God, what a relief.” I say out loud before I can edit it between brain and mouth. I frown but push my impatience down. “Then I don’t understand, you are not sick are you? Tee, please, tell me what is wrong, it cannot be that bad.”
Tina: I close my eyes and slowly open them and maintain eye contact with Bette, who looks ever so confused. I hold her hand, I do not want to lose her. I remind myself honesty is the best policy. I see her frown in the candle light. Bette turns her other hand palm up as if to indicate she does not know what to do. I take my time, take a deep breath in and out.
Tina: “Bette, I’m pregnant.” I say simply knowing nothing about this will be simple.

Well that was certainly worth the wait. What a surprise! I can’t wait to see Bette’s reaction. As usual, great chaper.
I enjoy this fic immensely. Just wish Bette would get her BACK BONE and that STRONG SELF CONFIDENCE back in herself and in their relationship.
Hmmm, I think early on that was definately a fair call, Bette was pretty soft. Now I’m not so sure. Bette is doing what she wants and getting what she wants, just taking a different approach to the old Bette. Not to worry ninety9percentsure, Bette still has it in her !
Wow, what a twist in your story. Loving it. Looking forward to more.
I love it…she wanted to give Laurel a sister/brother? Thanks for that great update. please post soon.
Wow, well I can wait to hear how that happened! Thanks for the story…it was a nice Christmas treat!
wow… lots of questions coming….(and for the record) I like this different bette its a nice change with a bit of the old bette….. can’t wait for your next post!!!!! hopefully it will be soon……
Back it up when did Tina get pregnant. Was it a one night stand, did she do the whole insimination thing? My head is spinning right now I don’t even know where to begin. I just hope that everything will be fine with them in the end.
Great writing. How is Bette going to handle this news? Post as soon as you can.
did i miss something how did she inup pregant???
With some guy named Josh or Peter. I know I’m kind of insane because of the spoiler. But I don’t think it’s as simple as Tina doing another insemination behind Bette. =(
:O *falls over*
I think Pancha’s Big Red is the baby daddy. Bette gets punk’d again!
What? what the hell how its that happen and what a good twist. Ok let see how Bette react. Post soon please, thanks!
techgal LOL…wow, what a twist, not what i expected…did tina get inseminated again? or did she had sex with a man? i can’t wait to see bette’s reaction…
don’t tell me someone raped her.
wow !!! – i like this a lot — need to go and read the backstory now but you’ve got my attention !
How does Bette take the News – does she do the right thing? Come on We NEED to know! talk about cliffhangers!
Wow, that was some twist yes. I can’t wait to read the next one. please post soon
nice twist, but when and how did Tina get pregnant????
Okay?, Pregnant the old fashioned way or impregnated by invitro? Same sperm donor as Laurel’s? Hopefully Bette will be happy regarding this turn of events. Thanks for the post.
i almost fell in my chair???? how could Tina be pregnan??? she had a man?? gggeezzzz i can believe this Bette will not take this very weel…can wair for more UNBE..thanks
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unbe…that was amazing. I agree with you..this Bette still gets what she wants, she’s just using another way of getting it. I think this Bette is stronger and much more confident than the older Bette. Reason: because she’s emotionally connected, open, and focused on what she really wants and needs in her life. And yes, questions have come up…like, “how” did Tina get pregnant? LOL. Thanks for the update…later.
I love your story! Thanks for the great Christmas present. I especially like your transformation of Bette! Please continue.
Wow I can’t wait to see Bettes reaction…
