    The Journey 55

    Tina: I have been watching Bette and Laurel for the last five minutes. I tell myself Bette won’t leave because she loves the girls too much. Am I trying to convince myself, no one else surely believes that. I see them turn around and make their way up to the house. I make my way to the bathroom, not wanting Bette to think I had been spying on her. God, I’d forgotten how beautiful she is, seeing her play with Laurel reminds me the beauty is not just external.

    Bette: I slide the door open. “Shhhhh, the others are still sleeping.” I say with my finger over my mouth. Laurel giggles a little. “Let’s make them some breakfast.”

    Laurel: “Breakfast” and Laurel claps her hands and smiles.

    Bette: “Pancakes or omlette?”

    Laurel: Laurel thinks about it carefully. “Omlette.”

    Bette: “OK, you get the eggs out of the fridge” I whisper as I get the coffee out. I see the bathroom door open rather unexpectedly. “Hi”

    Tina: “Hi”

    Bette: “Did we wake you?” And I notice Tina looks very tired.

    Tina: “No, not at all.”

    Bette: “You OK? You look tired.” As Laurel brings the eggs to me.

    Tina: “I’m OK, I just didn’t sleep well and I got up a couple of times to Jennifer.”

    Bette: “You should have woken me up.” I crack the eggs into the bowl I see Tina looking at me. “I was going to cook breakfast.” I say rather helplessly.

    Tina: I start to laugh. “Oh no you don’t Porter, I may be tired but I do not need food poisoning as well.”

    Bette: “The thanks we get kiddo.” I say with mock unhappiness to Laurel. And I realize both Tina and I had momentarily forgotten our troubles. Tina starts to take over the cooking of breakfast.

    Tina: “Did you have a good walk Laurel?” And I realize Tina has been up for a while.

    Laurel: “Bette told me all about the water and the sand.” She says proudly.

    Tina: “Did she?” and I look at Bette.

    Bette: I shrug my shoulders.

    Tina: “Do you guys want to shower before breakfast?”

    Bette: Laurel and I look at each and simultaneously shake our heads and bits of sand fly out. I put finger over my lip and shake my head. Laurel giggles.

    Tina: “Maybe after breakfast then.”

    Bette: And I always wondered how Tina did that. Laurel wants to wake Jennifer and let the dog in but that is just too much activity for me at breakfast time. We convince her to leave Jennifer sleeping. I set the table. As always, Tina has done a fabulous job of cooking.

    Bette: “It’s good. Thanks Tee.”

    Tina: “I’m glad you are enjoying it.” I can’t help but notice the similarities between the two of them, the mocha skin, the beautiful soulful eyes that tell a story without a word ever being spoken and that hair.

    Bette: “Did you want to shower while we clean up?”

    Tina: “Is that OK?” I snap out of my thoughts.

    Bette: “No problem, hey kiddo?”

    Laurel: “No problem” she repeats.

    Tina: I can’t help but laugh. Laurel idolizes Bette.

    Bette: While Tina is in the shower I check on Jennifer, I spend a minute looking at her, so small, delicate and dependant. “We will get through this” I promise her out loud. I hear the shower running.

    Tina: “The warm shower is good, Bette was right I am tired. I think about breakfast as the water pelts down on me. I push my hair back and let the water run onto my face. “I won’t let you go Bette, this family fall apart, not without a fight.” I say out loud.

    1. Way to go Tina, stand and fight for what you want. If you want all your girls together then brake out the battle materials. Just having the girls should be one point for Tina. Bette also does not want to loose her girls and that includes Tina. I am glad that you will try and post weekly. Thanks.

    2. I love the tense atmosphere you capture so perfectly, the way that at any moment the conversation can turn and things get pointed or heated. I really love the peaceful moments in between when you give us enough hope to keep on reading this great story. I am looking forward to watching them heal again. Keep on writing – it’s wonderful.

    3. This is a wonderful, powerful story. The setting near the ocean adds to the somberness and raw feelings. And it helps expose their true feelings. Please continue posting.

    4. It’s good to see Bette bonding with Laurel. Both Bette and Tina seems to be willing to make an effort to have their family together although there’s anger and uncertainty between them. But if they’re willing, that’s half the battle. Right?? Thanks for the update and hope to read the next chapter soon.

    5. I hope they work it out soon. And maybe they should share a bed..no sex yet!! just holding each other trying to find the hope / talk / learn each other again.

    6. i started reading this story about 4 days ago and i could’nt stop. this story is amazing, it’s so raw. I love the determination between these characthers and their passion.

    7. oh unbeknown, I love your story, this is an excellent news that you’re gonna post (10 pages) every weeks ;-) A morning walk on the beach with her girl seems to be a good way to start the day for Bette. This chapter leave me in a very pleasant mood, thank you ! mmm, the thing about updating each week, is it retroactive ? because since january … :-)

    8. I just started to read some stories on this site again about two weeks ago and a few days ago I found yours and I loved it so MUCH that I have read ALL 55 chapters in three days. I love how you write, you draw me in. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to the next chapters.
