    When Hope Is Lost,

     

    “Thank you, Oz… You always know what to say to lighten me up.”

     

    “It my job. It gonna be a good show, huh James?”

     

    “Yes, Little Man it is. Look, we’re here!” He replied and soon the trio was walking into the gallery to get everything set up for what they hoped would be numerous guests. The photographers were everywhere snapping photos of it all. They took one of Bette, James and Ozzie together. Allyn appeared and was also in one with the three of them. It would be a photograph that hung with pride in both Allyn’s and Bette’s offices for quite a while.

     

    Within an hour, the doors opened and in the patrons flooded. There were many that had come… one, to see the new artists being presented and two, to see the amazing presentation created by one Bette Porter as her reputation of expertise regarding the art world preceded her. From her past, people usually came from all over the world to see her presentations.

     

    This would be no exception.

     

    Bette gave her little speech to open the show and soon after, the masses began their journey into the world of four new incredible artists. Ozzie hung out with James for a while and then walked around while his mom was busy talking with many of the patrons. Allyn came up and introduced him to her wife and as he reached over to shake her hand and say hello, his gaze landed on Maxine’s face and it stopped him dead in his tracks. The resemblance to his mom threw him. Allyn watched his facial expressions change and smiled as he worked to figure things out.

     

    She was a most gorgeous olive-skinned Caucasian woman with beautiful light brown-blonde hair and gorgeous hazel eyes with green specks. She was tall like his mom but with lighter skin than Bette’s and his. But, she was a dead ringer for his mom and just as gorgeous. Allyn watched him take Maxine all in and was in awe of his changing expressions. His little hand finally reached Maxine’s to shake it and out of his mouth came, “You my mom’s mom! You beautiful like her! How you do, my name Ozzie.”

    1. I’m loving how Bette’s journey of self-growth, love, and miracles are shaping her life and Ozzie is just amazing. Everyone should have an Ozzie to put things right. The whole thing with Allyn knowing Bette was Maxine’s daughter and not revealing it to her wife seems really bizarre and makes me question their relationship but it seems that both Bette and Maxine were in a place where they could reconnect regardless of the circumstances. Looking forward to more soon since you’ve spoiled us with double chapters.

    2. Another great 2 updates Sue.I love that James is back in Bettes life.I had a thang for him in The LWord there is something about Preston Cooke,But hey back to your story.Pleased that Bettes Mum has appeared and that Bette has been so receptive of her (Allyn must have had great confidence in the meet-up going ok).Still loving Ozzie.What a great kid.Now looking forward to Tina coming into the picture and into Bettes life again.You have a great way with words.Can’t wait for your next update.No hurry :)

    3. Enjoyed both posts..but have so many thoughts going around and around in my head!! Can’t believe Allyn waited to have both women meet in this very public place! Can’t believe that Maxine didn’t inquire about

    4. Fingers got excited and I posted too soon…Can’t believe that Maxine didn’t inquire about Allyn’s new hire at the gallery and recognize the Porter name! And, now how is this going to play out during the “rest of the story!” PPS!!

    5. Ok so I’m loving the story, but what about Tina, I know she was hormonal, but is Bette even thinking about her….I guess I have to just wait, but I am loving the story and I just love little Ozzie

    6. This seems more of a Bette story and that’s cool, but I’m more interested in Tina. What about her character? What has she learned from all of this? Will she be able to grow or is the experience of having lost a love the only thing she will get? Where is Tina? Thanks for the awesome update.

    7. Six months. *Six months* that Allyn has known who Bette is, and she’s decided to spring this reunion on her wife, and Bette, in the middle of an opening. That’s… wow. There’s so much to say, but I’m just going to have to wait and to see if Allyn ever redeems herself. In the meantime, I hope Peggy keeps her word and lets Tina know that Bette has indeed kind of crossed her path. (But then again, if it’s not in Allyn’s timeline…) Argh. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to post two chapters. Cheers

    8. Happy that Bette has James working with her again. Having him around gives her the stability she has had in the past with him. I have a million and one questions but I will wait for you to let us see things as they unfold. You have no idea what an impatient person I am. I’ve tried to control it in my old age and it’s getting there slowly. Love this story so I will wait.

    9. Thanks for the double updates. Now that Bette has stabilized her life, it is time that she learns that she is going to be a mother to a new born. Wow, that will be some family when it all comes together!

    10. Something I meant to mention in my earlier comment was that when the hair stood on Bette’s neck, I thought she would see Tina when she turned. I knew she would see her mother but I thought the hair turning was about Tina. Surely Tina should have seen the trades or newspaper or tv by now since they’ve had the opening. I hope she has and just shows up without any previous contact. Maybe she could contact Peggy rather than Allyn. Now is the time for them to make contact and start the forgiveness process. Can hardly wait. Thanks.

    11. oh this is just amazing im dying to read the conversation between Bette and her mother, and im soooooo ready for Tina to enter their lives and then the family will be complete
