The Journey 53
Tina: “I know baby Bette.”
Bette: And with that the comfortableness is broken. I start to get up but I feel an arm reach up to grab me as I stand up.
Tina: “Is there anything left to save Bette?”
Bette: “We need to make some decisions” And I sit on the edge of the bed. “hard decisions Tina.”
Tina: “Bette, I want to ask you something and you can say no, but I want to feel I have done all can if we go our separate ways.”
Bette: I silently nod, knowing exactly what she means.
Tina: I clear my throat. “Let’s get the kids and go to my parents place at the beach. If we have to make the hard decisions, let’s do it together, not like this.”
Bette: I am a bit stunned. “Why take the kids?” I blurt out.
Tina: “We can have some time with them, we can tell them together if need be.”
Bette: Can we be a family again? Is that what Tina is trying to do? “How long for?”
Tina: “We can stay as long as we want.”
Bette: I take my time answering. “Can I think about Tina?”
Tina: “Of course, let me know when you have decided.” And I make my way to the living room to collect my suitcase, glad we had a few extra hours and had not left after the disgrace this morning.
Bette: I make my way to the kitchen. I see Tina picking up a suitcase in one her other reaching for the front door. The reality of the situation begins to set in. I rush over. “Here, let me, you shouldn’t be doing that just after having the baby” and both our hands are on the suitcase handle.
Tina: “Thanks, I can manage.” And I do not turn around, just continue to walk.
Bette: I watch Tina take two steps outside the door. I step out after her and from behind reach out and place my hand over hers. “Let me, please.”
Tina: “No.” I don’t turn around but shake my head.
Bette: I don’t let go. “Tina” I whisper. “Don’t go, I should never have said that. Please stay.”
Tina: I put the suitcase down and both hands on my hips. I spin around, clearly startling Bette. “Do you want me to stay Bette, or is it that you just don’t want me to go?”
Bette: I look up from the ground and see Tina glaring hard at me. I try to convey my sincerity to her. “Both” I concede but now is not the time to lie. I bite my lip and look down only to see Tina still studying me when I look up. I wonder what she is thinking. “This is your home too Tina. Please, I do not want you to go, not like this.” And I shake my head at the situation, my disbelief. “Let’s do what you suggested and head out to your folks beach house. If we cannot work it through, or we do not want to work it through, I will not stop you leaving when we get home.”

Please keep this a happy ending I love Bette & Tina
5* is back ! thank you for the update, I was holding my breath since the last one ;-)
Hope they would work things out. But I guess it’s not so easy with Tina’s feelings. Does she really know what she is thinking or doing right now?
This is better than Tina clocking Bette (well, I confess, I rather enjoyed tha on a certain level), but that woman changes direction more often than the wind. Interested to see what transpires at the beach.
Let them try real hard The four of them are to beautiful together. thanks
Love the story and the drama you bring…I hope that they can work it out in the end and come back even stronger then befor. Also a question, how come Laurel calls Bette by her first name and not moma? Just wanted to know. Thanks a bunch and post soon.
Please let them work thing out and get together as a family and be happy agian and no more drama. OK post soon please, thanks!
I sure hope that their time spent at the beach is done wisely. I hope that they are able to come to somewhat of a compromise and stay together. I just hate seeing these two leave everything that they have strived for over the years behind.
