Bette shifted uncomfortably, Thanks.
Well, Im going to go and visit with some more of the guests. You two make sure you get something to eat., said Janice.
We will, said Tina.
As her mother turned to walk away, Bette said Wait.
Dark brown eyes met soft blue pools and mother and daughter shared a moment of silence before Bette asked the question that had been lurking around the fringes of her mind.
Why didnt David come?
Janice blushed slightly and said, I.um.didnt think it would appropriate. I wanted to minimalize the tension between all of us. I didnt think Davids being here would help.
Oh. I see., said Bette.
But as she looked up and into her girlfriends eyes, Bette couldnt understand her mothers selflessness. Shed wanted.no..needed Tina at her side. Tina was her other half, her calm in the storm. Tina kept her sane when the forces of life threatened to drive her over the edge of all rationality. She couldnt imagine going through something as devastating as the death of her father, without the love of her life by her side.
Thats really selfless of you. It seems like youd really need him at a time like this, she said.
Janice smiled weakly. Im.Im managing.
And why didnt you tell me about Dads affair when we talked the other day? It maybe.maybe it would have helped me understand just a little better.
Bette, I didnt want the purpose of our talk to be me painting Melvin as the bad guy. I didnt want to talk about the affair. That was his business to tell. Im sorry I brought it up at dinner.
That wasnt an affair, Mom. That was a double life. He was living a double life with this woman. And he lied to me about that. He treated you horribly. Why should you care about protecting him?
Janice stood stock still, not even blinking as she stared into her daughters chocolate brown pools, tears beginning to pool around her eyes.
What?, asked Bette, confusion apparent in her gaze.
Janices voice was nearly a whisper as she spoke. You called me Mom.

I think Bette should go ahead and come out to her mother, because I think her mother is going to come out to her. (or something like that)
I knew I didn’t want to go to bed just yet, and now I know why! *Sigh* Just when I thought things were looking up for Janice and Bette. Hopefully they’ll come to an understanding one day. Did anyone catch Tina’s Freudian slip? I guess we’ll find out. By the way, that balloon idea is really cool! Thanks for posting two days in a row, MTS!! You have no idea how happy that makes me! :D
2 posts two days in a row……..
Yayyyy!!!!
I agree with techgal.
EEE! 2 updates in 2 days…life is good!
Keep going hun, you know how addicted I am!
Great!!!!!!! 2 days in a row so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bette should remember that she too is lying to everyone right now too. post soon
Good chapter the struggle and tension with mom is very realistic. I think mom is going to figure out what’s up with Bette and Tina. You gave us a wonderful treat with back to back post.
MTS, you are always so consistant with each chapter and your characters have so many dimensions. Did Janice not catch Tina say babe? Also, I like the fact that Bette wants the truth from her parents while she’s keeping who Tina really is a secret.
I’m loving this story! I find it interesting that Bette wants her parents to be honest with her, but she’s keeping a secret about who Tina really is.
MTS ~ thanks for making those balloons environmentally friendly ;) Oh yeah, deep stuff here…I don’t even want to guess where you’re going with this but I’ll be awaiting to find out, Lab Coat!
Since everyone else is coming clean, Bette should, too. But, I’m sure as a young adult and just being reaquainted with her mom, after so much time, I think it’s still a ways off, before the love of Bette’s life is exposed. I really love this story. More, when you can, please.
great chapter, thank you. i think bette also should come clean to her mom, she’s trying, but it seems hard, hmm? and bette’s mom didn’t catch the “babe?” it will sink in sooner or later i imagine, wow, 2 posts, 2 days :) see you soon hopefully!
You are simply amazing!! I just read the last 2 chapters and I am in awe…I am a little scared of you though, my name is Vivian and I am a Real Estate Broker..you were close! LOL
You amaze me. Totally AWESOME as usual. Still loving it so post soon kiddo.
wow great chapter..Janice didn’t even notice tina called bette babe…….THANKS.POST SOON
It’s understandable for Bette to be frustrated by all the lies that are not/should not be necessary, whether it be about her mother’s affair, her father’s affair, or her own sexuality and relationship with Tina. I really hope things work out for B&T.
One thing, though. The focus on Tina’s red shirt… are B&T going to come back with switched shirts and Janice will say, “Bette, I like that shirt, it’s just like Tina’s… wait…” lol just a thought that crossed my mind. And like some of the other readers, I didn’t pick up on the significance of Tina calling Bette “babe,” but that might just be because I often use endearments when talking to my friends. Either way that she interprets it, I hope the Janice/Bette relationship eventually reaches some solid, common ground.
Great job, please post more asap!!

Wonderful two chapters. I feel bad for BEtte, all that can’t be easy. Can’t wait for more. Love it.
She missed Tina’s ‘babe’? I think maybe it didn’t click right away but it will soon.
