    Author Notes:

    Tina considers whether or not she has enough insurance to leave Jess with Bette.

     

    “She” Shane started, with a little bit of a sputter.

     

    Okay, I caught Shane off guard with this. I know they’ve been speaking through the years, but it’s something that Shane hadn’t really discussed with me, in deference to my wishes.

     

    “She didn’t say much about herself, or what she’d been doing. Mostly she wanted to know about Jess and” Shane paused. “And stuff.”

     

    Stuff meaning me, no doubt. Neither one of us took a vow of celibacy while we were apart, I’m certain. I’m also certain that Shane knows quite a bit more than she’ll probably tell me. Again, in deference to my feelings. While I respect that, it doesn’t meant that it’s not also frustrating at times.

     

    “Dont worry, Shane, you don’t have to say anything that you don’t want to.”

     

    She let out a large breath at that.

     

    “We’ve each established our own lives. I know this. But she’s back and wondering about mine, and I have to admit, I’m curious about what she’s been doing, and why now.”

     

    “And those are questions best asked of Bette.”

     

    Yes, I can always count on Shane’s directness. “I know.” But knowing what does ask doesn’t make the questions any easier to ask.

     

    “I’m wondering,” I say, changing course, “how much forewarning I should give her about Jess’s moods. Or should I just let her discover all of this on her own.”

     

    “Jess is a good kid, Tina. When I compare her to myself at that age” Shane just tossed up her hands in a gesture of futility. “Well, let’s just say, she’s basically a good kid.”

     

    Truthfully, I feel somewhat bad that I’ve started this line, now that I really consider who I’m speaking with. When I mention the troubles I have with Jess to Shane, I often forget that these are nothing compared with the life that my friend has lived. I don’t know all of what Shane’s been through, but I know that it wasn’t easy.

     

    Best to dwell on the devil I know, I guess. “But Jess does have her idiosyncrasies.”

     

    “Who doesn’t?”

     

    That was a very valid point.

     

    “Give Bette the minimum. She’ll do fine.”

     

    Perhaps. If nothing else, it’ll be the shock of diving into the deep end.

     

    Then I could help but laugh again.

     

    “What?” Shane prompted.

     

    “I’m just thinking,” and again I laughed. “Jess is on restriction this week.”

     

    “No.”

     

    I nodded. “Yeah. I think they’ll have plenty of time to learn how to get along.”

     

    “You could let her off until you get back.”

     

    This time I had to give a bit of my stern-mom look to Shane. “After what she put me through the other night? I don’t think so.”

     

    Shane scratched at her head. “You have insurance, right?”

     

    “Health and house.”

     

    She leaned back in her chair. “It’ll be fine. What can go wrong?”

     

    Why do those words that are supposed to sound comforting instead sound so ominous?

    7. great to see how Tina’s dealing with this. Can’t wait to see Bette and Jess together, hope they learn a lot about one another…before killing each other. lol. Looking forward to the next update!

    9. ok P your spoiling us her with so many chapters. It’s like your handing out drugs to get us hooked and then going to pull them from us and withdrawl will start. You know you will have some angry readers(ME) if you don’t give us an update this week. But I love the drugs just as much as the story, and can handle it, it builds us. So try to post see or I will have to pm you until i get a chapter. LOL

    10. I am enjoying this story. But, even though I am in the minority when I say this, I think that it is time to bring the chapters together under one. It seems to drag a bit for me when we are reading just one point of view at a time. Still, it is a fun story.

    11. I’m thinking that maybe Tina should solicit Alice as a potential referee for the showdown that will be Bette and Jess. Great portrayal of Shane, always there for support – loyal to a fault and always nudging her friends in the right direction. Very realistic that Tina would continue to second guess her motives as well as Bette’s. I am happy that she does see this as an opportunity for Jess to get to know Bette as much as Bette to know Jess.

      Hope her insurance premiums are paid up!

    12. Ok, I don’t know bon bons, but I do have some really nice chocolate covered macademnia nuts….those are really good. Almost as good as your stories!

      Have fun this busy week….and if you have some time, write more! Can’t wait for Bette and Jess showdown!

      Thanks so much for writing these stories.

    13. Perhaps Bette has a friend back in NYC in whom she confided. Over the course of 15 years I’m sure she developed a best friend, a cadre of friends (analogous to the L.A. Framily), ex-lover, therapist, someone? They could talk by telephone. Or instant chat on the internet.
      The possibility of reunion with the ex and the child might make Bette want to seek a second opinion, as Tina is doing with Shane. I could see a play-by-play account of all that has gone on. “Wish me luck, I’m on my way to L.A. to see what happens next” sort of thing. File it under, “Plan B – Bette”.
      Based on the rebuffs she is getting from Jess, could Bette be having some doubts about the wisdom of her decision to relocate?
      Just a few bon-bons for thought…
      Keep up the good work. I’m with you all the way!

    15. Morning P, This is getting so good. You’ve got me on the edge of my seat waiting. OK so don’t let me fall. Great update too. Dang I now I wish I hadn’t smacked that fly. I might have learned something. lol

    16. Pseud I just caught up with all your post. Thanks for being so prolific. I love this story and can’t wait to see how Bette and Jesse get into it with each other. Two strong willed ladies sizing each other up shall be a blast. I will enjoy being that fly on the wall. Thanks

    17. Is a good thing have insurance Tina cuzz they will put fire in your house..lol..i hope they act like mom and daughter and talk to find out the truth… great chapter post soon thanks

    21. Pseud I just love this story with it’s varying view points. It really allows an inside look at how each person is feeling! Great job…thank you!
