When Hope Is Lost
Ozzie and Bette prepared for bed. After he was inside his bedding, she read him a story, then laid with him as they talked for a few minutes. When he finally nodded off she kissed his head and then went to her bedroom. After preparing for bed, she tried to read for a while but found that she couldn’t concentrate on any page long enough so she closed the book and turned off her light.
She lay there with her head full of thoughts regarding her life here in New York, and of Tina and what that life might look like with her again, if it was meant to be, and then of her new impending motherhood with the baby. As much as she tried to picture herself back in LA, she couldn’t see it. Her life was in this moment in New York City and in her heart, this was where she now felt at home. The one thing she could at least do was to have the conversation with Tina; she did owe her that. Her world seemed to start spinning faster in that moment.
She turned on the soft light beside her bed and rolled onto her side and looked at Tina’s pillow. Well, it would have been hers had they still been together. Bette had taken the pillowcase off of her wife’s pillow that night so long ago and brought it with her to New York. She would often roll over to Tina’s side of the bed and wake up to that amazing fragrance that was her wife.
As she gazed at it she found her hand moving over to touch it gently. The tears came to her once more as she really missed her. As angry as she had been at one time, she didn’t harbor that negativity anymore. In her heart were memories and feelings of days gone by and all the amazing moments that they had shared that were happy and joyous and filled with laughter. There was a longing in Bette’s heart for those days of strong connection with the people of her past.
Her hand slipped under the pillow and out came Tina’s t-shirt that she had also taken that last night in her home with Tina, it also held her wife’s fragrance. She rolled over onto her back and held the shirt to her nose and inhaled. Once again Tina’s unique smell entered her nostrils and caused her to smile with warm memories. She took in a couple of breaths.

Great update………I loved that she was thinking about Tina……I hope little Ozzie is ok….
Does ozzie have cancer and is he going to die. Then bette move back to la because she cant stand to be in new york without ozzie. Her and tina meet and tina has baby with her when they bump into each other. Something happens to make bette think of ozzie like he is there
Great chapter. Even though a bit scary for Ozzie and Bette. When Bette started to think of Tina, I thought she might call her since the time difference would allow for Tina to still be up and not in bed. If she says nothing but I miss you and just wanted to hear your voice would be lovely. My real concern is for Ozzie and I hope Melvin doesn’t do anything negative to upset him and make him more ill than he has been. I’m afraid Bette will kill him if she can get to him before his wife and Kit. I’m glad he and Bette found each other when they did. I would love for him to live long enough for Tina to get to meet him and see what a love he is. He would just love her and vice-versa. Even with his illness it was still a great chapter.
Good chapter Sue.Bobbing along nicely.Hope the little man is ok and looking forward to the next chapter
