    Author Notes:

    Bette reacts

    The street is pretty deserted – no one knows I am here so the risk is low. It matters to me to show her part of my past.

    “That was our house there “I point to the grand red brick house standing back from the street. The landscaping of the garden is new but I see so many little things that I recognise

    “Nice place “

    “One of the most expensive places here- it could have been Buckingham Palace – it didn’t make me any more friends “
    “Did you suffer from a lot of racial abuse ?”
    “Well to abuse me they kind of had to talk to me and they didn’t. Dad moved us here because he wanted me to go to a good school “
    “The 70s and 80’s were different times Bette – a lot of values are handed down from parents and intolerance is hard to shake “
    “I hated it here “I grip her hand “There is only so much otherness that a single parent kid can take – it was the only time I was ashamed of my skin. I worry about that with our daughter “

    “Bette – yes she will be part African American and her parents are lesbians but those are not things to be compensated for – it’s a celebration. I love your heritage – you are so beautiful. We love each other and we will teach her the right values and attitudes. I am not worried at all by that – I worry about if she is beautiful as her other mommy how I will ever tell her off “
    I laugh “I think that about her – if she has the Kennard smile I am doomed “

    “Tell me more about this place “

    “It was a white area “
    “Not like now “

    She points across the street to where a young mom is putting a child into the child seat in the back of her car. She is oblivious to the security guards in front of us and the black sedan behind us – it would scare her if she looked up.

    “Back then it was apart from us – plus a lot of the girls went to a different school and disliked we “ posh “ kids who went to the fee paying place “

    1. I’m sure Bette had to deal with discrimination, but I want to quibble with you a bit about Republicans. While I am a life-long independent (I don’t care who you are, you have to work for MY vote), my grandmother was the state secretary in the Republican party in the 50s (she was born in 1898). Obviously for equal rights for women and personally worked to help the Black community. Her husband, also Republican, was one of very few lawyers in our northern area who would represent Blacks. Granted, far too often today the party panders to small minded bigots who hate in the name of GEEEZUS to get their votes as a base to serve corporate greed. When my grandmother was involved religion was never discussed as having anything to do with politics. That is a relatively new factor. But when my grandparents were around, they saw it as the party most interested in minimal government interference and pro-personal freedom, an organization for the middle class more than giant corporations. Going back even farther it was the party of Lincoln, the Democrats of the day were pretty solidly behind maintaining the status quo in regards to slavery. All of this to say that I don’t think it accurate to equate being a Republican with bigotry. I will now descend from my soapbox. And I hope things go well between Bette and Leigh.

    2. AllyE, you are doing a great job with this story and putting in the historical facts. You have a great grasp on our politics and life in general in the states. Telling it through Bette’s eyes is wonderful and spot on. There is one paragraph on the first page that is very pertinent in my life and I have to show it to someone. Although I have told her enough times. Thank you.

    4. Tina is gonna be put on bed rest or something, isn’t she??? This pregnancy is off to a rocky start and Bette is not seeing the signs. have a good time with ur lady!!!

    7. Ally, You are a marvelous writer – your vision of how Tina holds Bette’s emotions in her heart and helps this wounded leader deal with all she’s been through and all she carries as the POTUS is simply inspired storytelling obviously written by a woman with a huge kind and generous heart. Thanks for all the stories you share.

    9. Great as usual Ally. Loved how you added the history of the time through Bette. Tina always has,had a calming affect on Bette. Their is ony one person in my life who can do the same and all it takes is a look or slight touch, and its not even someone I’m with. Bette will be an awesome Mother, and good for her for not giving a crap if the “Republicans” walked out.
