Bette: We walk along the beach in silence with our ice creams and watch the sun go down. “I still love the sun sets here.”
Janice: “They are quite magnificent.”
Bette: I nod. “It’s been great to see you Janice.”
Janice: “You make it sound like you won’t see me again.”
Bette: “How long are you staying, you never stay in one place long.”
Janice: “It depends, I have business here. Long enough to see you again. Come on.” I take Bette’s hand “let’s get you home, you have a family to look after.”
Bette: I feel the softness in Janice’s palms and the strength in her hands. I pull away, although I know Janice meant nothing sexual.
Bette: We pull up out the front and I kiss Janice goodbye and make her promise to stay in touch while she is here in LA. I thank her for dinner. She cups my face in her hand and tells me she will not leave without saying goodbye. I believe her. I get out of the car and watch her being driven away.
I let myself inside and sit on the couch. I decide to go to the hospital. I arrive and Tina and Jennifer are sleeping.
Bette: I whisper. “What are doing here so late?” and Kit pulls me out of the chair and outside the room.
Kit: “I had a gig and then I went for coffee, and now I am checking on Tina and Jennifer.” I say firmly.
Bette: “What is the matter with you?” and Kit moves closer to me.
Kit: “What is the matter with me? Bette, I had coffee at a well known Italian restaurant and while I was there, much to my surprise I saw my baby sister eating dinner with a beautiful woman who is not her woman. You follow?”
Bette: I am cross, I glare at Kit. “Kit, you’ve got it all wrong, Janice is just a friend.”
Kit: I raise my eyebrows. “Really, then why did Tina think you were at work? And who is this woman?” My question is more a demand than question.
Bette: And I wrench my arm free. “I do not answer to you Kit. Janice,” I say through clenched teeth “is just a friend.”
Kit: “Tina is in there with a new baby.” I say rather to the point.
Bette: “No wonder she does not her internet in their too.” And I am smug and sarcastic.
Kit: “Bette, if you were here earlier, you would have known that Tina is coming home tomorrow. You need to work through this, no matter the outcome. Did you learn nothing from last time?”
Bette: “Listen to me Kit” and the anger begins to flash through. I put my hands on my hips. “This time it was NOT ME who was fucking someone else. It is NOT ME who doesn’t know what they want. It’s NOT YOU who might loose their partner and children.” And step forward rather in an intimidating manner.
Kit: “Isn’t it Bette? Do you really know what you want?”

wow, it’s getting more and more intense…i was wondering too, is bette willing to fight for tina? or will she just let tina to make all the decisions? how did they get to this point from being in love and commited? *sigh*, i need some happy B&T
Kit should have went over to Bette, it is not her personality to have just let Bette “cheat”. If she didn’t do that then stay out of the way. Bette isn’t he guilty party here. Bette doesn’t need to fight for Tina, Tina needs to decide what she wants. Bette wants her family, but she deserves to protect her heart too. If Tina doesn’t want Bette then Bette loses her and the children. For crying out loud, Bette was ready to buy wedding rings!
Bette doesn’t need more pressure from kit or anyone else, she only need to relax. Unbeknown, I’m holding my breath when I read your story, you’re incredible, thank you ;-)
Ouch..Kit was right. The intensity building between them both is so palpable. They need to sit the heck down and talk, like they did at the Inn. Maybe they need to visit there again. They both are running away when it get difficult…jeez, didn’t they learn anything from before?
Oh great. The baby isn’t even hardly dry yet and Bette is out on a date. They should have both choked on their dinners and died on the spot, victims of god’s wrath. …I jest…Somebody has to stand still and stop reacting – there are two (count them, two) children to consider now. All of you – grow up! Thank you for making your Kit the voice of reason, as the SHO Kit has gone crazy.
pretty please post soon…thank you for this chapter.
I meant for the adults to grow up. The kids have a couple decades before they can be held accountable. Thanks!
Gee Whiz! Bette didn’t do anything wrong. OK, so there’s sexual attraction between she and Janice, but apparently that’s not all, and they have never acted on it. I don’t blame Bette for wanting to get away from all the turmoil for an evening. Kit may be her big sister, but that doesn’t give her the right to tell her how to live her life.
Bette supported Tina through the delivery and plainly w/o hesitation told Tina what she wanted. Tina doesn’t seem to want Bette. Bette found solace in Jannice, the same friend who sent her back to Tina. But now Tina is rejecting Bette. Remember just 2 days ago Bette was buying wedding rings so I think we know what she wants. The time with Janice is a reminder that her life and world doesn’t actually have to end if Tina rejects her and they aren’t the family.
wow unbeknown just caught up reading your story. Love it. I hope they can work it out. NO matter what else happens I think love is worth fighting for.
Unbeknown,Kudos to Kit for stating it as it is. Bette had better get her shit in order and start fighting for what she wants; Tina. These gals belong together and no one else can come close in completely them. Bette, please heed your sister and go get what you want. All of this uncertainty in unsettling but I know that you will reunion these two halves. Puh-leaze make it so. Wonderful writing and torturous twist make this a must read. Thank you for all your time and effort. Your Loyal Fan.
Now that the ptoverbial shoe is on the other foot, Bette isn’t as forgiving. Maybe if she’d stop to think that if Tina had treated her the same way she wouldn’t have even gotten those precious months to try to renew their trust.Open your eyes Bette.
I second what techgal said. I love your story and I’m anxiously awaiting the next chapter.
Can’t wait to see how the situation turns out. Also I wondering did Tina hear their convo, since they were standing outside the door. Good Job.
This is getting more crazy!
