“So you think that he knows she is alive and isn’t telling you ?”
“Yes “
“You have just welcomed him into our home – let him play with Ella when you think that he is still holding back from you “
“He might tell me if we are talking “
“Is that why you did that – is that the only reason ?”
“No – I want him in my life “
“Even though he’s lying to you “
Bette looks evasive which drives me crazy – she thinks that not finding her mother is proof that she is still alive. In a crazy way that reasoning makes sense.
“Bette – this has to stop – this has to stop. You cannot keep torturing yourself. You cannot prove a negative – just because you cannot find proof that she is dead does not prove that she is alive.”
Bette looks angry as well as hurt and I know that she is directing this at me. I somehow have let her down – she wanted me to find proof. Do I tell her ? Do I tell her about the woman that I think is her mother. I hoped that telling Melvin would help – that he would look at the picture and say yes that’s her or no way in hell is that her. But he is as full of doubts as I was.
Throwing at her in the heat of a fight would be marital suicide – it would be a schism between us.
“So – tell me what have you found ?”
“I have been trawling around the old newspapers – seeing if I can find anything “
“Have you ?”
“Not yet “
“Hours upon hours and you haven’t found anything “
“Have you been looking at my laptop ? “
“No – should I ? I hate secrets and you are keeping something from me “
“I am trying to find her – trying to give you the peace of mind that I know that you need. What is so wrong with that ?”
Bette eyes me suspiciously “If you knew something would you tell me ?”
“Yes – when I had doubled checked my facts. You have a rule – no statistic quoted unless you have three separate sources. Well I used to be a journalist – something that I don’t like you sneering at. And I check and double check my facts “

Thank goodness Bette has a smart wife and that she loves her beyond words. thanks
It is difficult being rajsed by one’s father and one does wonder how they would be different
One surefire way to tell is with the Social Security record, that number and record will follow a person to the grave and beyond. It will follow her thru name changes or anything else she tries to change. Once you have a social securit number, it can not be changed even if you change your name or whatever you might do. You can only have one unless you are put in a federal witness protection program but the original number is still there and the original record is held by the feds and no one is allowed to access the info without a visit from the FBI; and believe me you DO NOT want that level of investigation. Great chapter, AllyE. PPS
BTW AllyE, that level of secrecy would be akin to your MI5.
that was such a brilliant chapter Ally, you are an amazing and a very gifted writer. I can’t get enough of this story. Post soon please. Have a wonderful Sunday
Great chapter, lets see what happens next…
so glad that Tina fessed up and put Bette’s mind at ease about the furtiveness. There’s nothing worse than knowing that people are talking behind your back, to your face is hard enuff. I hope for their sake there is a resolution over this because its affected Bette so badly all her life.
I can’t even imagine what it would be like not knowing what happened to ones Mom. Great chapter, as always. Their love for each other is so obvious.
That was good and glad they talk about it, now let see whats next, thanks!
they talked! but there has to be paper trail i agree so let them follow it! :)PPS
Well I had thought there would be more yelling, but I’m glad they got to a place where they could talk calmly. Somehow I think Bette still might have a meltdown on the way. I hope not though. Thanks for posting!
Glad they got through that one…pps
Your writing of these two is AMAZING – they fight so realistically. I love it and I love you for writing it and all your others as well.
And even if they can’t find a death certificate so far, they can see where the paper trail on her mother goes (tax records and the like) even if only to see where it ends.
Good the storm is gone. I thought Bette gets up as a firework. I hope Bette can easy her mind soon. Tina is really her strong. Gread Chapter PPS
I love my L Wing …… That could have really gotten ugly … but thankfully she entrusted her loving wife. Tina will get to the bottom of it i’m sure. PPS :D
