She wants to be alone but I cannot let her cry like this deep on her own thoughts. I know that love is about having space but this is one time when I have to breach the space and reach out to her.
As I watch her a quote from Washington Irving is going round in a loop – it sums up Bette at the moment and it echoes my own thoughts as I watch my wife.
“There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love “
She is crying because she cannot bear the thought of not being with me when Ella is born. Her tears give even more shame to my cruel jibe that somehow Bette was not Ella’s mom in every way that I am. Again I feel the disgrace of my words. I deserve to feel shame because of hurting this incredible woman.
I walk across and sit on the seat facing her. Her hair is a mess, her make up is in ruins – she looks terrible – but I don’t think at this moment I have ever loved her more.
She casts another tissue aside – it is too damp to be useful. She pulls another from the box by her side and blows her nose. She looks down again – her head is down and as I sit I hear her crying. Carefully I reach out a hand and take hold of it – she squeezes it and holds onto it tightly.
“I won’t go “she says after a few seconds of silence
“How concrete is the summit?”
“CJ was just hearing the proposals. She knows your due date and knows that its going to take wild horses to get me away from Washington let alone to a fucking country that is still medieval in so many ways “
“Can we suggest a different date?”
“The original date they suggested was 2nd September “
I laugh “Are they doing this to annoy you?”
“I wish I was just annoyed “

Helena and Alana, well what an attractive combination. Bette should talk with the Russian PM and try to get that date changed, babies can do what they want when they want and no one else can control it. PPS
For some reason I thought Helena was going to say Bette’s sister Leigh.
How is Bette going to feel about this new duo?
Yes, catb, I also think of Leigh. “Helana” sound attractive together. PPS
Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner, Helena and Alana!!! I knew it, I just knew it, thank god! Also, I thought this was a very sweet chapter between Bette and Tina, please keep it up! PPS ASAP!
Helena and Alana almost sounds like a tongue twister. lol
wow thats a nice pairing based on your description of alana. I wonder how Tina will react. hmmmm.
Glad Tina took things so well. She knows Bette wouldmove heaven and earth to be there when Ella is born, but when duty calls sometimes you have to put personal things on the back burner. Glad Helena has found someone. I hope Alana treats her well.
now there is an alena
Anything that gets you to increase the posts is a good thing. Can’t wait for 200! I liked this chapter… love seeing Tina so supportive of and adoring to Bette. Very sweet. Like that Helena is seeing Alana, although I too was thinking it could have been Leigh.
glad that helena is happy. im having just the most boring day at work. this sure helped. thanks.
i can talk to Russian PM LOL so, this is how Helana was born
Oh that Alana!!! I forgot for a minute. Hotstuff. Well, maybe Alana go go to Afghanistan or maybe they can fly those people to the USA like they usually do, like that Iranian guy recently etc. Don’t let Bette go. Its far too dangerous in Afghanistan. PPS Oh yeah and don’t forget 6 months of sex in 4 weeks, start now!!! Lol. Another reason B can’t leave T’s side. U PROMISED SEX. Lmao.
Alright Helena and Alena but I though is Leigh. Great about B&T and Bette should talk to the Russian PM and hope they can change the date. Anyway post soon please, thanks!
Helena has proven to be a very good close friend to Tina and she has cleaned up her act. Being chosen as a God Mother will surely affect her in a positive way. Furthermore, if she’s the winner to the Alana contest, then WELCOME. It means she worked hard to get it. On the other hand, you are missing your magic wisdom, remember? Make B stay, when Ella is born? I’m sure you have more than a rabbit under your sleeve. Bring it on, Ally!
Hey Ally I’m so sorry I owe you a PM and just at first was at a loss for words. I am excited for Chapter 200. It just shows how generous you have been with your creativity all this time. I for one treasure you and this story. It’s how we initally connected. I still haven’t lost that thrill I get when I log on and see you’ve posted. Now that I have a blackberry I’m finding I’m reading you at all the most inappropriate time. It get’s hard to explain the grin at times but I don’t care. Thanks for all your posts and all the posts yet to come. You are amazing.
And the final winner for the Alana race is Helena!
Helena and Alana should be a good duo, they are both experienced (in many ways) and familiar with the ways of power. And they sound like an attractive couple.
Helena and Alana huh? What an attractive sight :-) great update Ally.
So Helena for GOD mother??? Wouldn’t a nice gesture from both Bette and Tina to ask Alice? Maybe I need to go back and reread the earlier chapters, maybe i missed it. PPS!
