Bette’s eyes roamed around her sister’s 2-bedroom condo. She’d finally changed from her wrinkled suit and was wearing one of Kit’s old t-shirts and a pair of gray sweatpants. She tried to forget the evening, closing her eyes tight and rubbing her temples. The troubled young woman was sitting on the couch, waiting for Kit to bring them both some chamomile tea.
When her dark eyes opened, they landed on a school-aged photo of herself hanging on the wall. Bette had to have been in the 2nd or 3rd grade. It was right next of a photo of Kit and her Mom.
A smiled fought its way to her lips. ‘Wow, I made it to the wall’, she thought.
This was her first visit to Kit’s place and she was already a smiling face on her sister’s wall. Like she belonged in this house. Like she belonged to someone.
“Daddy gave me that. It was a long time ago”, said Kit. She entered the room, carrying two mugs of tea.
Bette stood and took one from her. “Thanks.”
“He gave it to me. But the handwriting on the back wasn’t his. I knew it was probably your mother’s. I’m sure she thought it would be a good idea for me to have a picture of you. Daddy doesn’t tend to think about those sort of things.”, said Kit, sitting beside her sister on the couch.
“Did you and my mother get along?”, asked Bette.
Kit shrugged and sipped her tea. “I was so young when they got together. To tell you the truth, I was kinda happy. Mom and Daddy used to fight all the time. I was just happy that he wasn’t here. That I wasn’t so worried and on the edge with them all the time.”
Bette smiled again. “So how did you feel about me?”
Kit chuckled. “Well….you? That’s another story. At first…..at first I couldn’t stand you. Daddy hardly ever spent any time with me in the first place, but after you were born…..look out. It was always, ‘Bette, Bette, Bette’. But as we got older, that started to change. I started to understand how you might feel.”

You Lady better sort this out and keep them together. or I will have to hunt you down with the fan Fiction gun. Another wonderful chapter look forward to lots more
There’s good shock and then there is bad shock. You posting so often causes good shock. Memo to self: Invest in the Kleenex stock first thing in the morning. The stock is going to go through the roof! Bette and Tina might want to invest in the stock before their much needed conversation. Still loving this story. Please post soon
Wow, to experience that type of love must be a wonderful thing. Thru good and bad, it’s always great to have someone there to have your back. So, good to have you back MTS, and that this story continues.
Hmmm… maybe Kit could call Bette’s mother and at the same time, Bette gets the funding from school. That’ll be perfect.
Aw gee. That last part about them falling asleep ’emotionally together’ really got to me. Thanks.
This kind of sleeping pill is so magic and romantic ! Finally, a bit of tenderness in Melvin’s world. Still think that Bette should talk to her mum…
What can I say?! Just loving it and of course the frequent posting. Thanks.
Loved it!!!Glad we have you back MTS!Hope everything works for Bette, I’m not familiar with the financial thing in the USA, but here there are the full scolarships if you’re top of the class and the loans if you belong to the upper fifth of the class… So let’s use some of Bette’s brains here please!!! And maybe bette’s mom can help them, hey is the least she can do for her!!! Obviously it won’t replace the three missing years, but she’ll help B&T to be together… Post soon please!!
Hmmm….it must be something to experience that kind of love. I can’t tell you how good it is to have you back, MTS!! I really wanted to put out a search party for you!!! And to have you post so often…well, that’s just an extra added bonus! Looking forward to Bette coming back to Tina.
awesome! welcome back! i can’t wait to read more! i love your story!!! =)
Is it Christmas? Someone’s birthday? How did we get so lucky to have you back? Thanks for the great chapter that ending was so very sweet.
Hey there…WELCOME BACK… i have been away for the weekend and this was a great story to return home too… i love your story and i know you know that… maybe bette’s aunt… i forgot her name could help bette out… and like kit said… go to her mother… can’t wait for the next chapters… and again welcome back
i enjoy your chapters so much. this has been a great story. i cna feel the love between them. you write them so realistically. keep up the good work.
I must be dreaming. Three post of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE fic. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. This is the fic that got me hooked on reading fan fics. Please keep it going. I will read it as long as u write.
fergz i see you.mts thanks for the great 4th present. didnt expect to see so many posts from you. that was great.
Awww, sweet and tender. Great chapter!
Oh, forgot. Please let Bette CALL her MOTHER and her AUNT before she tries to do the indpendent student thing. I believe and know that her mom with come through for her this time, and I know her aunt will too.
So glad to have you back,must be so hard to be Melvin daughter. He was a shirt chaser but his daughter must be perfect. Thanks so much for posting.
I’m guessing that Bette is totally Melvin’s dependent. if so, she may have to become her mother’s dependent if her mom ends up being the one to help Bette financially. Otherwise Melvin could say, “Uh no I don’t think so.” Not sure how dependency works when the parents aren’t married to each other. Anyway it’s great that Kit is there for Bette. And B&T are so cute falling asleep on the phone.
i’m happy you’re posting so often, i love this story, i’m glad that tina and kit are there for for bette and hopefully, things will work out for them
Thanks for posting so quickly. Parents can harm their child in so many ways. Hopefully Bette and Tina can work through all of this mess and continue to love each other. I just hope that Tina’s parents do not find out for awhile and that Melvin will keep his damn trap closed.
MTS, I so hope this gets to you, I absolutely love this story; I have been franticallt backreading to catch up; you are the best, you have dealt with so many issues: coming out hardships, jealousy racialism/colour prejudice etc etc and I love that your B and T don’t take eons to get over their issues with each other and their love and loving is superb, thanks for being sooo insightful. I look forward to your next post.
Akiracolorblind, Emotional Rollercoaster, hope this comment gets to you cuz this post comment thing is playing games with me: hey howz about Tina getting a bit of damage???maybe Henry’s a closet cruiser, picks up Max and does the rubber dick but Max recognises him and spills the beans allover Death Valey and WeHo so ultimately Hen and T have the big bash and the gylz have to come to the rescue…enter Bette on white charger to rescue her wife and child????????? come on howz about a bit of hetero reality!!!!lmao!!!! give the gay gyrlz a break!!!!!Tina needs a fyckin’ reality check and a lot of somethin’ somethin’ from her wife not scabbyback!!!!can’t stand the thought of Angel being raised by that dork!!!!!
Bette and Tina are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You ARE spoiling us. But, please, please, please never leave us again. Your story is like my drug and I’m happy to say, I’m back on the juice! Great chapter. Please let them work their problems out together. There are so many sad B&T stories out now, I don’t think my poor little Tibette heart could take it if Tiny Tina and Baby Bette broke up. Thanks for posting.
MTS, Heartfelt and tender after all of the hatred and hurt of the last two chapters. Kit was an unexpected tower of strength for her baby sis. Their late night shat help ease away some of the nigh’s earlier chaos. Great to see a family unite in such an honest and open manner. I am so happy that Bette called Tina and started the healing process. I can understand that Bette was trying to protect Tina however this can also be interpreted as pushing someone away. Loved the ending as this conversation finally allowed each gal to sleep and recharge for their next battle. One I hope that they will face together. I am still doing my happy dance at your return and have missed your wonderful words and perfectly crafted characters and conversations. Bliss! Thank you so much. Your Loyal Fan.
Bette has too much support in her life to be left out dry. You wrote this wonderful history for this character please don’t ignore it now. Bette has her mother, aunt, grandmother, grandfather (although he’s not alive anymore), Kit, and Tina. She should try on her own but if push comes to shove she should really ask for help. I reread a few of the older chapters to get back into this story and on many occasions you have them talking long term but they are so young, unsure and financially unstable. I just wonder how you plan on swinging that based on where they are now as characters? MTS your pretty good at this…
Good story…..excellent writing!!!
The ending was just so romantic and makes you hope for a fanfic love. I hope Bette is able to get financial aid and stay with Tina. What a waste of space Melvin is, but his attitude is so on point w/ lots of people’s attitude about homosexuality- ignorance is bliss.So glad you’re back w/ this TiBette story. Excellent writing and I hope when your novel is published, the rest of the world recognizes your talent.
glad they sticking together
I’m sensing a pattern here with this young Bette. Please, let her turn to Tina when it comes to figuring out how their relationship is going to survive and thrive…Bette cannot make all the decisions – she has to let Tina in.
P.S.I honestly don’t think you know HOW much your return to this story/website has made my days better. Keep it up!
