“Why not?”
“Because our last one hadn’t ever worked out. We thought everyone would think it would end badly again.”
“But it didn’t, obviously.” Dakota smiled.
“Not at all. We just needed some time apart to find clarity. Now… should I continue with the story?”
Dakota nodded, eyes aglow.

“But I want to hear about your love situation.” Alice said to Bette, trying to change the subject.
“You’re just trying to avoid my questions about your mystery date.”
“You’re right. So spill.” Alice grinned and headed towards the dressing room.
“It’s Tina.”
“Duh. Tell me something I don’t know.” Alice said through the door. Bette leaned against it and crossed her arms over her chest, resting the back of her head on the door.
“Oh Al… I don’t know what to do. She’s living in our old house with her daughter. Every day is amazing. I can’t believe she’s back in my life… living with me… sharing a child.”
“So ask her to marry you again.” Alice threw her jeans over the door barely missing Bette.
“I can’t just ask.”
“Why not?”
“Should I just walk home tonight and say, ‘Hey babe, you and me; let’s get hitched.’”
“That’ll woo her.” Alice said as she walked out the door causing Bette to stumble a few feet as the lost her balance. “What do you think?” She twirled around.
“That’s a beautiful dress and it looks great on you.”
“Remember what I look like cuz I have two more to try on.” Alice disappeared again.
“She’ll say no if I ask her to marry me.” Bette sighed.
“Maybe she will.” Alice said in a muffled voice as she pulled a dress over her head. “But if she says no she won’t mean it.”
“But then what?”
“God Bette… are you still the famous Bette Porter of years ago? Where is your confidence, your nerve? Just do what you’ve always done. You guys belong together and somehow it’ll work out but not if you keep second guessing yourself. Geez.” Alice stepped out of the dressing room again and spun around for Bette.

Far….wonderful story. Glad you didn’t change it!
This was perfect, no re-write needed.. loved it as usual
haha.. awsome.
So glad you didn’t chuck the chapter. Loved it. Very well written as always.
What’s to rewrite. Its great, this story just keeps getting better. I love hearing the stories via Alice who definitly has all the juice. The way she talks to Dakota is so cute, and Dakota’s reactions are typical of any child when hearing things about there parents. Its also nice for us, cos even though we know the stories, we never get tired of them. Keep it up, and I can’t wait for the party and Dakota’s gift.
I too am glad you didn’t re-write it..It was great I love this story please continue and keep us all at the table..Wouldn’t life be great if we all could have a planet to go to every week…Post soon.
I’m glad you didn’t rewrite it – I like it a lot. Your chapters are always wonderfully written – even if you don’t believe so.
Thanks for taking us on this journey!
Hey fareast that’s was so Wonderful Story I Still Love it Keep going Post soon Thanks.
i love Dakota she is a great kid. great chapter
even though you doubted to post this one i am very pleased you did, because it shows so much the sweetness and humour of your characters. thanx.
what part of this needed rewriting??? So glad you posted it is perfect just the way it is…I’ll take more if you have it!!!
Fareast,
Fave line this time was “As long as I hear more stories, I’ll stick around.” Because that is exactly how I feel about this story. As long as you care to write it I will be here patiently waiting to consume it.
This latest incarnation of relating the events of their lives to Kody is a masterstroke and displays your fabulous talent and fantastic skills as an author.
Your self criticism is not warranted as I loved this chapter as much as any other. The stories continued your excellent standards and expressed you eloquence as always.
We are our own worst critics although please take it as heartfelt when I describe how much I truly enjoyed this installment.
You have crafted a rich and explicit universe where memory and recollection are the messengers for love, understanding, knowledge, hilarity, pathos and human emotions. Only by looking into the past can we change and improve the future.
Awaiting the subsequent exploit/escapade.
Your Loyal Fan.
why on earth would you want to rewrite something, so fun and heartfelt. please keep this up. its great.
You weren’t going to post this? Sacre bleu! Okay, I know what you mean, lol. But I’m glad you posted this. Dakota is such a great character, and you’ve interwoven her so skillfully with the rest of the characters. Love it.
Great chapter, very cute story just love it.
Absolutely perfect as it is!
I loved the bouncing back and forth between story telling and hanging out. Nice balance. They have such an easy going and casual relationship together – Alice is good for Dakota.
I think Dakota will eventually begin to see what she has in common with her parents and slowly begin to close the distance that she has created between them. I can see Dakota becoming a regular Saturday morning visitor.
Wonderful chapter.
i liked it just the way it was- perfection!
That wasAWESOME. No rewrite needed. This is such a great story. I can’t wait for the party. That could be a wholenew story.
aww so sweet is good to see Dakota more kind and gentle with her moms..great chapter as always thanks
