Tina scowled, insulted. “Slowing down? Not at all. I’ll show you…”
They kissed and made quick and gentle love before falling into a deep sleep in each others arms. In the night, Bette woke and quietly climbed out of bed to get a drink of water. As she approached the kitchen, she heard a faint noise and saw someone’s back bent over the glow of the refrigerator.
“Dakota?”
She spun around, startled at first, then her face softened as she realized it was her mama. “Mama, you scared me! What are you doing awake?”
“I could ask you the same question.” Bette pointed out. “Water.” She motioned to the glass in her hand.
“I couldn’t sleep. Guess once the intoxication wore off I was wide awake.” Dakota joked, but Bette could see something else was on her mind.
“Want to sit outside on the front porch with me?”
Dakota thought for a moment then sighed, finally nodding in agreement.
Once on the porch Bette shook her head and quietly chuckled.
“What’s so funny?”
“You are. You’re just like your mother sometimes. That hesitation to join me then the simple sigh. Your mother has the same actions sometimes.”
“Well we couldn’t be more opposite.”
“Not always.” Bette pointed out. “She cares about you, you know? And she worries.”
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about. I’m fine.”
Bette studied her strong willed daughter under the moonlight. “Are you really?”
Dakota stared straight ahead. “Most of the time.”
“And the rest of the time?”
Dakota shrugged.
“You may think I’m an old lady and I don’t understand any of the things you are going through, but I was twenty five once, too and I’ve been around the block when it comes to love and life and hardships.”
“Doesn’t mean I have anything to talk about.”
Bette chuckled. “And that stubborn attitude and insistence to keep yourself at a distance from others is just like me. Do you remember when we brought Zoe home and you thought we’d forget about you?”
Dakota nodded.

“Dakota!” Tina yelled as she stepped into the house, carrying a baby bag, slung over one shoulder. Bette followed behind her, carrying a shy two year old in her arms. The baby looked as if it was Bette’s child with her dark brown eyes and mocha colored skin.

I´m so loving this sory Fareast. Just been doing some catching up on it. Super stuff. Keep going
Boy are so different from girls. I see my boys every day.they just stay a few minutes. and a Love you Mom. Glad you took us into the future and that Bette and Tina did make wonderful parents. Thanks
I really love this – the full circle, knowing them older and as parents, it’s very touching.
The whole family is just too cute. It’s great to see B&T still have the magic. Can’t wait for more!
I keep trying to picture B & T older. I do love your story and post soon.
That scene reminded me of the old Lifesaver commercials (yes, that does date me). Seredipitous and loving. The kind of relationship we all wish we had with out parents. You are doing a fantastic job taking us back to the future, so to speak. Love this story.
great and lovely… Kody and Bette it’s just sweetie. Thanks
Fareast,
Just wanna say how much I have enjoyed this tale and format.
You capture so beautifully the relationship between Bette and Dakota and how it has matured over the years.
It taps in to each of over lives as we all wish to spend more quality time with our loved ones and let the mundane daily chores fall away. Yes, I promise to make more time but often this is an empty shell as other priorities take over.
I love this jump it time and the way that you use it to your advantage by dipping back and pulling out this vibrant memories of time gone bye.
Zoë is lucky to have found wonderful parents in Bette and Tina and a fantastic sister in Dakota whereas they are blessed by having someone to share all their love, understanding and knowledge with.
Keep this fabulous fac fic rolling along forever.
I’ll be here waiting and watching for it.
Your Loyal Fan.

like yor weaving together of time. love Bette’s special connection with Dakota and showing that she is a mother deep in her soul.
mmm… they’re so sweet. it’s nice to see that they still have the love far into their golden days.
So touching Fareast. Dakota is very much like Bette so it makes sense that Bette can reach out to her better than Tina. I like the way you have brought this story into the future.
