Vignettes: Chapter 55
“What are you trying to say? You want another baby?”
“No.” Tina shook her head. “But if you do, I won’t rule it out.”
Bette smiled softly at Tina and ran her fingers through her hair. “Dakota is enough for me.”
“Dakota is enough for anyone.”
Bette laughed. “Too true.”
“Should we start dinner?” Tina looked at the clock. “They should be here in an hour.”
Bette stood and held out her hand for Tina. “Then let’s get cooking.”
As Tina and Bette prepared the meal, both were quiet. Tina was mostly listening for unusual noises coming from Dakota’s room, but Bette was contemplating something that had been weighing on her mind for quite a while. She continually started to say something then bit her bottom lip and kept quiet. After about a cycle of five times, Tina finally put down the chopping knife and put her hand on her hip.
“Bette, are you going to tell me what’s wrong?”
“What do you mean?” Bette bit her lip again.
Tina moved closer and kissed Bette. “Stop biting your lip.”
“Will you keep kissing me if I don’t?”
Tina simply raised an eyebrow.
“Nothing is wrong, T.” Bette turned around.
“You never could lie to me very well.”
Bette sighed. “It’s really not a good time to talk about it.”
“No better place than in the kitchen.”
Bette knew this was a losing battle. She finally threw up the white flag. “Ok, fine. But I warned you.”
“Sure. Now spill.”
“I was thinking about us.” Bette continued chopping the peppers. “And us living together.” She started to put her whole body into chopping, moving quickly and nervously. Tina stepped towards her and wrapped her arms around her, resting her head into the back of Bette’s neck.
“Just talk to me.” Tina whispered into Bette’s dark curls.
Bette closed her eyes and put the knife down. She grabbed Tina’s hands and squeezed them.
“Marry me.”
It was barely a whisper that escaped Bette’s lips but Tina heard it. Her breath caught in her throat. She hadn’t heard those words in more years than she could count on her fingers.

Yay I’m glad you are continuing! I love this story it’s so sweet. I think the wedding needs to happen and Tina will soon realize that. Great update can’t wait for more! :)
i am so glad you decided to write..i hope Tina say yes i do..lol..cant wait for next chapter..thanks
So glad to see you story back up/ Seems like when we find a good writer and story. Puff they are gone. Thanks hope Tina will say yes.
Far,
As always you have surpassed yourself with this latest installment.
You have no idea how happy I am to see that you will continue on with this work of genius.
How is so few words you manage to capture so much depth of emotions and feelings is awesome.
The interaction between all the character totally blows me away. It is so genuine and lifelike.
The way Dana and Alice never change. The way Shane sees through all the smoke and mirrors to get to the heart of the matter. The way Bette and Tina connect. The way Tina is holding back just a little bit of herself to protect her heart. The way Bette hums and haws before diving in and splashing about as she propose.
All of this makes this a master piece.
I just want to lay back and bask in its glory then grin insanely for the rest of the day as I recall all of the scenes.
Thank you for sharing this talent with me.
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Feel free to spin and twist the characters in all directions because I know that they are safe in your callable hands.
“Why?”
To make an honest child out of Dakota, that’s why!
Thanks!
Very pleased that you are going to continue this story. It has been like looking at a family album and reminiscing and there are still so many pages left to be filled.
Dakota was so cute in her desire to be the big kid on the block, but still such a child when faced with the reality of such a small baby.
Fear lingers…so true for both of them. Communication will continue to be their key to strengthening the bonds of their relationship. Looking forward to more.
thanks for the update and for not bringing it to a close yet. Loved the hesitation and the fears they both still feel. More please.
Realy enjoy reading your story. Waiting for more.
didn’t know that you were entertaining ending this story but so happy to know that it will be continuing. awesome update and thanks!
Yay! It’s back! Great bit with the ‘adult’ Dakota, who then reverted to a little girl when someone littler came alone. Looking forward to what’s next with B&T. Very happy to hear it’s not the last. Spin on…can’t wait.
Thank you for continuing this fine story of yours! I was so happy to see that you posted today.
I really enjoy the little Dakota – she is certainly a very fun addition to the family. But will B & T have another one? and I hope they work out Bette’s marriage proposal. Looking forward to many more exciting chapters with your expert spin on them.
As always …. five heart shaped cookies neatly wrapped and tied with a bow and sent with a huge smile! Thanks again for writing!
No she didn’t so “why” ummm I thought that was a yes or no question???
Poor bette sitting there saying to herself your sunk my battleship LMAO

Excellent as always. Just love it so much. I hope Tina says yes eventually.
I guess the answer is not always YES or NO, sorry.. we have, why? we can have When? or uumm, i need to think about it..
I’m glad this is going to go longer.. i love this story.. you did a great job since chapter one..
I get so happy when I see you have posted :). I want the wedding, and adopting a new baby (that’s my two cents). And more Dana and Alice too.
Yay! I come back from a few weeks away from the internet and I get two wonderful chapters from Fareast. They were beautiful, and I am SO HAPPY that you are continuing the story :) and congrats on the award, I had my fingers crossed for you.
