Tina: "I think so." and I reach in and pick up a crying Jennifer. I sit on the side of the bed and start to feed Jennifer. "You have good instincts." I say with a smile.
Bette: "There was a time I thought that too." I say it without censoring my thoughts. I realize immediately how it must sound. "I’m sorry Tee, that was not directed at you. It’s been hard" I pause "the last few years. When I said that I was more thinking about the decisions I’ve made." I try to explain.
Tina: "You are allowed to question yourself Bette, the decisions you’ve made." I try to take what she says on face value and not be too sensitive. I sense Bette watching me and we sit in silence while I feed Jennifer.
Bette: "It’s beautiful." I am referring to Tina feeding Jennifer.
Tina: "Yes, it is." I put Jennifer down and unconsciously pull the top of my dressing gown across.
Bette: I take a deep breath. "We need to talk Tina." I make the understatement of the year.
Tina: "We do." I nod and rock slightly like it might offer me some comfort, my hands steadfastly holding onto the edge of the bed.
Bette: "Really talk. This is nice, being here with all of you but we need to work out what we are going to do."
Tina: I nod. "What do you suggest?"
Bette: "I’m not really sure Tina but if can’t work this out then we need to think about the future."
Tina: "Right" and suddenly I get up off the side of the bed wondering how much Bette really plans on working the future. I make my way to my room to get dressed.
Bette: I remain on the side of the bed. "Shit." And I exhale.
Tina: I make my way out my room fully dressed. Bette looks up and then back to what she was doing and says nothing for a minute or so.
Bette: "I might take a shower myself." I say trying to lighten the mood.
Tina: "I have a proposal Bette." I say seriously. I meet and hold her gaze.
Bette: I get up off the ground. "Laurel honey, why don’t you feed Choco ?" knowing this will take her outside but within eye shot. Laurel takes Choco outside. Tina watches her. I make my way to Tina.

Nice chapter, happy family time in perspective. what does tina have in mind ? thank you for the update :-)
ok, unless i missed something, bette actually did have the affair with candace, but tina had an internet affair. Tina forgives bette and takes her back, but bette cant do the same? hmmmm….
I feel like it’s very hard for them to get back. It’s also hard for Bette to fit in the family picture. Her relations with Jennifer and Laurel are more like babysitter-children or mother’swoman-children. Tina didn’t make effort to make Bette the mother.
really small steps but i’m glad they at least moving in the same direction
Sometimes baby steps are the hardest, but if you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you can go places you only dreamed of before. Great job UBK!
thanks for this post, i hope Bette listen to Tina cause the last chapters seems to me that Bette is not listening Tina
I liked this chapter – their estrangment and mixed up feelings is really written well – it isn’t easy to open your heart again but I like how you had Bette see that she has been in Tina’s shoes. I so enjoy what you share with us.
I hope that Bette can forgive Tina…post soon
Baby steps, baby steps! It’s almost painful to see them like this. I’m hoping that you will bring them back together. Thanks for another wonderful update.
AGain, love the story. Post soon.
I’m glad that they are going to spend the day together. It seems to me that they need some good bonding time where they can have fun and remember good times before they have their conversation. Looking forward to the next post.
Always nice to have an update from you, love this story.
it needs to be hard for them – but you offer us glimpses of hope for the future as well – thanks
This is hard for them and please let them talk and work thing out and be a family again!
Great chapter hope they can talk and sort things out and be happy together forever
your story is amazing, i love the raw emotion that you capture, its nothing short of beautiful. please post soon
please! MORE UPDATES AND SOON!!!! =)
Unbeknown, Finally some tentative motion in the forward and hopeful direction. These gals need to be truthful and honestly esplain to one another their thoughts, hopes and desires for the future while putting the past to rest. Acceptance of their former failings and faults is the only way to settle the past and provide a clear canvas to start building a better tomorrow on. Can’t wait to see where you take them next. Thank you so much for returning and continuing this wonderful adventure. Much gratitude and appreciation from Your Loyal Fan.
Just aching for them to start communicating properly and to realise that they are meant to be together forever (despite what IC might think – Grr.) Please post soon and keep on writing. You are wonderful.
More, More, More- I’m addicted to this story!!
At least they are taking baby steps forward and not leaping backwards. Both women have made major mistakes and both need to make an effort to forgive each other. If it is a family that they want for them and the girls then they have to put the past in the past and work towards the future. I know that it is easier said than done, but these two can make it work.
your story get more amazing chapter by chapter you are a great writer and i cant wait for the next chapter. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the update! please let them talk and clear the tension …
Nice chapter. Like seeing a happy family. Its amazing how you can capture them so well. Its a shame when someone gives up on a realtionship without every expaining what happened. Keep up the good writing.
