The Journey 5
Chapter 5
Bette : “I beg your pardon ?” as I study the little girl and raise both eye brows. I don’t know much about children but the more I look at her the more things start to fall into place. For a start her skin is ever so slightly mocha in colour, she has Tina’s eyes, I am not sure about her age but I think she is over 12 months old, I doubt she is two yet. She keeps smiling at me and pulling at my hair playfully as it begins to dawn on me what I am holding in my arms, my daughter, our daughter, the child Tina and I always wanted. Tears of joy and grief begin to form in my eyes. Sam is saying something, I’m not really listening, I don’t hear much of it, something about Tina’s ex cheating on her and leaving her pregnant. I kiss the little girl on the head and promise her I will see her soon as I put her down. I tell Sam I have to go, she looks a little bewildered by my reaction. I tell her, to tell Tina I will be in touch.
In that moment when your world falls apart, everything you hoped for is lost, there is no where to turn. I know I’ve been there before and by ***** I do not plan on going there again. Does Tina hate me that much, is that really my daughter and she didn’t tell me ? Could she hate me that much ? Unsteadily I open the door and make my way to the car. The emotions are overwhelming in complexity and strength. I am elated but furious, I feel betrayed but yet I look forward to guiding this little girl through life. I drive home in a daze. I begin to realize they all knew, Alice, Dana, Shane. Kit hurts most of all, why did no one tell me, how could they not tell me ? Is this what Tina felt like when I had the affair? I pull in the drive and the tears stream freely. In a moment of frustration and anger I kick over the new pot plant. I am livered at them, all of them but more at myself as the cost of the mistakes I made begins to sink in. Will I never stop paying for those mistakes ?

This is great! You’re doing just fine. Keep the excitement going. Please calm Bette down, otherwise, they’ll just be all defensive, and not talk about their true feelings for one another. That’s cute, that Laurel took to Bette like that.
omg love it..going to next chapter
I don’t know why you need ideas from us. I think you are doing great on your own!!! Thanks!
Hoping you’re writing the next part right now, really enjoying the story!!
Wow, everyone turned on Bette. To keep this from her for 18 months.. Kit pretty easily gave up Tina’s info to Bette why didn’t she ride Tina to tell Bette, did Tina threaten to keep Laurel from her auntie if she told Bette? I would’ve called my attorney too, not sure who to trust anymore as no one seemed to have her back on this; Bette could simply believe that Tina isn’t going to let her have any parental rights, so legal may be her only option; just think if Bette hadn’t come back to LA ever, would Tina have ever reached out to her and told her, maybe when she needed tuition money ah Bette the provider; Tina could have gone into the house and faced Bette on Sunday, but she ran away as she did for 18 months; Being angry with Bette for her infidelity is understandable, but now you’re a parent, grow up and think of you child first…hmm can you tell whose side I”m on here…things should have never gotten to this point…it’ll be interesting to see Tina experience the wrath of Bette as Tina can be viewed as hurting a member of Bette’s family…I’m still of softy and want to seem them reconcile but Tina has some serious ‘splaining to do!
I don’t think you need any ideas from
us. your doing a great job on your own. :)
Let Bette try to get over her angry and Tins will talk to her. Hell Betty is the one that when off , to see the world. and messed up by cheating. In 18 months someone should have told Bette, You are doing great on this. Bette shouldn’t have call her lawyer. Fast on the draw Porter. thanks
i hope also that your writing the next chappy right now. poor bette. poor tina. shouldnt have called the attorney. that always makes things worse. communication. dont need ideas from me, but ill think about it. geez that just woke me up from reading jks. and i was in such a good mood. need to go back and read it.
you don’t need ideas from us! you’re doing a great job! although maybe if Bette has so many questions she can listen to what Tina has to say! just a suggestion! but keep it going, I love it!
