    Summary:
    Chapter 4


    11 and 1/2 years ago

    I had walked outside and was waiting on Skylar to pick me up to go to our senior breakfast meetup at a local restaurant.   I couldn’t help but overhear them in their backyard.  They weren’t exactly yelling but they weren’t being quiet either.

    Bette: “You promised me Melissa”

    Melissa: “Bette I just can’t.  I’m just not ready to carry another child nor am I sure I want one”

    Bette: “What? You promised me that after having Maddie we would have another one  and my cousin Dominic would donate so we could at least have a child that would share our DNA since you insisted we choose your friend Matt to be the donor for Maddie.   You know I can’t ever carry a child of my own Melissa and you promised me”

    I gasped when I heard that and my heart broke for Bette hearing that she couldn’t have children on her own. I sighed and went back to listening

    Melissa: “Baby I’m sorry…I know I promised you. Between our careers and Maddie and then our move here I just haven’t been in a place to think about it or even want to”

    Bette: “I have been patiently waiting for  years now Melissa.  You knew how important this was to me and for us as a family.  You promised when Maddie got a little older we would. Maddie is now 7 and time isn’t really on our side anymore. Do you even care how I feel about this?”

    There was a brief moment of silence

    Bette: “Well your silence says everything I need to know”

    Melissa: “Bette you act like I would never do anything for you and what’s in the best interest of our family.  How can you assume I don’t care how you feel? We are here right?  I would say that should tell you I love you more than anything in this world but I’m just not ready to have another child. I don’t know if I will every be ready”

    There was another brief moment of silence

    Bette: “Look I know the sacrifices you have made. I am so grateful to you for that and love you so much”.

    There was another moment of silence

    1. Seems that Bette and Melissa worked rather diligently to try to save their marriage. If their problems seem to begin eleven years ago with their move to New York… that’s a long period for things to break down and become unresolvable. And they did move back to Philadelphia a few years later, but still they could not resolve their differences enough to sustain their marriage. Yet, they love each other still. I wonder… did they really love each other? Or perhaps they loved the idea of the other. In some people, they form an image of who the other is and have a tendency to to ignore the reality of who they are. No person is perfect. All people have flaws… a relationship is sometimes determined on whether each one can live with the flaws or not. Perhaps a judgement that the cost out weighs the benefits? Or is there a more suitable partner elsewhere? Something about Bette and Melissa’s relationship says something like this is going on. From the story so far, Bette has been devoted to Melissa and to Maddy. She has not allowed anything to challenge her relationship to Melissa, not even her repressed attraction to Tina. She may not have been honest with herself, but she did not allow it to get between her and Melissa. It appears to me, that between Melissa and Bette, sometimes love just simply is not enough.

      Tina’s hearing of the conversation between Bette and Melissa on having a second child is heart breaking. This would be a major issue in this couple where one wants another child and the other is showing signs that it is not going to happen. I imagine that this would not be the only conversation between Bette and Melissa on the subject. I can see that this would be the beginning of the dissolution of their marriage. It would appear that the sole glue to keep them together then would become Maddy.

      This was a very thought provoking chapter on Bette’s history. Now that Bette is going to begin to pursue Tina…. I am anxious to see how she does that. Under the right circumstances and the right conditions, I do not think it will take very long for these two to become a couple.

      Thanks for the update.

    2. Agree with Martha her opinion on this chapter.

      Let’s see how this will go, looks like Bette is making first steps to be closer to Tina.

      Love this story!

      Lovin’ the plot in your masterpiece! its delightful and intriguing. Appreciate that Bette’s becoming enlightened that she needs to exelerate her pursuit of a more personal relationship with Tina
