The Journey 8
Bette : “Shane, hey, come on in.”
Shane : Cautious after yesterday “Up for some company ? Serious ?” she says it as she looks at the art.
Bette : “Love some company. This is between us, ok ?” I point to the art.
Shane : You know me man, not my business.”
Clearly I have cooled off from yesterday. Shane supported me things were hard, really hard with Tina. Some of the worst conversations were with
Shane holds up a six pack “bought two peace offerings”
Bette : “I see one, where’s the other ?” I half jest.
We grab a beer and head out the back and lounge on the chairs by the pool. We sit in silence, watch the sun sparkle off the water until Shane speaks.
Shane : “Bette, you know, I am so sorry.” I know this is Shane’s other peace offering.
Bette : “Sorry for what, none of it is you fault.”
Shane : “For how things worked out, with you and Tina, you know you are only human Bette, we all ***** up somwhere, sometime. For not knowing about her being pregnant. It’s been hard on all of us.” I just listen. “Bette, no one kept it from you deliberately, it’s just.”
Bette : “Just what Shane ?”
Shane : “You hardly ever called and you never asked, you know, how she doing. Would you have stayed if you had known ?”
I don’t answer Shane, I just think it over, maybe that is why I got so testy when Tina said about walking in and out of lives. I can’t guarantee I would have stayed, if I am honest with myself, maybe I won’t stay this either. Shane knows I am thinking.
Bette : “Tina came by today, and I have to tell you, it is not the start I was hoping for” I knew in my head what I was hoping for was unrealistic.
Shane : “Wow, it’s a start though, right, being in the same place together”
Bette : “you don’t have to sound so shocked, I am not contagious”

Admitting you love someone is the first step to recovery! Okay, now that she has said it outloud and someone else besides the puppy has heard her…perhaps they can begin mending this wounded relationship? By the way, what is the damn dogs name?!
Just a great story. I think it will take a little time but they will find each other. Post soon
This story is fantastic. I’m really enjoying it. Good angle!
If Bette takes it slow and easy, and get Laurel to trust and love her,then Tina will learn to trust and love again…thanks
LOVE IT..SAM IS JUST THE CARETAKER..RIGHT???PLEASE PLEASE POST SOON….THANKS…
Okay in light of everything we had to figure the first conversation was not going to go smoothly. Though it did get a bit more out of hand then it needed to. Bette still loves her, then tell her jackass. Same for Tina. Sam’s gotta be the babysitter,nanny,au pair, whatever, just not Tina’s current interest. You’ll get them there, right. Baby steps.
I just caught up on your story and really enjoyed it…hope you continue…
Well done – I hoped that talk with less defensiveness but that was a pipe dream – your version was real and I hope they don’t have to battle too long.
Still enjoying it…. keep going!!
great waiting on the next post-i’m curious about sam-neighbor, co-worker or lover-hoping just a neighbor wh helps tina out-watching laurel
has been reading your story and it’s great: so much feelings and love. i like how you depict the characters. if writing is your secret life, well we are just happy for it. please continue and let romance have a good part in it.
of course she still loves Tina, so lets see how long it takes her to tell Tina that.

Wow T& B still have such a long way to go to find each other again – but hey don’t rush it I’m such a sucker for these bittersweet angst ridden scenes of mis communication. Baby steps!
(keeps the story going longer so we have more to read – LOL)
I am so glad that IT’S out there! At least I feel better now because things will be going forward now, and maybe a little faster(?). I just hope Bette is able to convey this revelation to Tina before the lawyer and all. This is such an amazing story…I’m getting just a wee bit obsessed with it so please keep posting daily! Thanks!!
