Would She? Part 6
Dear My Darling Bette,
My beautiful wife if you’re reading this, I’ve already been buried and some time as gone by. Bette please do not mourn my death, I’m in a much better place.
I assume you went through the photo album first as I asked? I guess I have some explaining to do. Where do I begin? (Bette wipes away more tears)
Well let me say this; since you came into my life the second time, I’ve known nothing but pure happiness and the meaning of real love. I know our actions the first time were wrong, but the second time around was perfect.
Who would have thought I would be taking an art class and you were the teacher? That was destiny just like now. Anyway, in the twenty plus years we shared we produced two wonderful children, a wonderful business and a great life.
Bette over the years I’ve noticed the emptiness that is still there within you. An emptiness that neither I, nor the kids, could fill or take away. The emptiness of your first daughter, Angelica. I hoped in my heart that this photo album will help you with all the wondering you’ve had about her.
How? When? Why? Bette, I wanted so much to tell you I found Angelica. So much to tell you she was ok. But I didn’t want you to go after her and have Tina end up moving again. I didn’t want to come and get you out of jail because you couldn’t stay away. What parent would?
I want you to know that you have been a major part of her life since she was nine. Yes nine. You’ve helped her through the toughest times in her life. You were there when Tina and Henry couldn’t reach her. You were there when they couldn’t give her advice because they knew nothing about being half black. How you say?
Some years ago I came to you with a pen pal letter with the name ConfusedBiracial91. (Bette sat up straight, she knew this girl)All the letters that I asked you to answer for me, because I told you I was too busy to do it, were actually from your daughter Angelica. Baby you played a big part in our Angel’s life.

I’m following Pandamel for a major part, however I feel pity for Henry. Altough I’m a hardcore lesbian, in a relationship it doesn’t count when you’re a men or a woman, you are both equal partners. I really think that Tina never let Henry into her soul, Bette was always there, always around and still is. That’s a terrible feeling to share in a relationship, so poor Henry. Thanks for sharing this with us, please post soon.
your stories make me cry more than Disney movies :( OK, maybe not as much because they made a lot of movies, but it’s definitely a much deeper cry. Trying to get into each of the characters’ psyche, to feel what they’re all feeling…you connect with everyone and it makes you hurt that they hurt. (I, um, kind of love Candace more for what she did :X ) *runs* Waiting to move on in life with Bette and Tina now, or whatever you decide to do :]
I a writing because I guess i am shock to see someone writing about bette and Candance. I never excepted their affair and I have to say that I do not except their love either. Sorry for those who do. It pained my heart to hear this story because I am such a Bette and Tina fan. I will try to continue to read your story only because i so want Bette and Tina back together in every story and belive this will happen. I cannot imagine it any other way in fanficiton or on the show. For those who can, you have more flexibility than I. To the writer Bravo to you and your writing skills but my opinion about how this story was written remains the same.
This story is great. There is so much here and always something in this story that floors me. “…and fell backwards, more than sure that she could trust Henry to catch her, and had hit the floor. BLAM!” ..,..
Trust me k12foru, I’m not flexble either regarding my ships. BUt i have to confess that although my hate for candy is well known, I LIke Candace in this fic. I actually feel bad for her,bcos she was happy with bette for some 25 odd years,even had kids,knowing very well that Bette wasn’t completely hers, and never will be completely hers.They shared a life together,but was it Forever kind of love?iduuno. Although i Do wonder what Tina’s reaction would be should she find out about Bette’s relationship with Candy and their marriage, and stayed happy with her until Candy died.I mean, candy was the straw which broke the camels back afterall. I’m not pissed at her for not telling B about Angelica,but she should’ve told Bette before she got sick and died. What if Candy was not sick,when was she planning on Telling Bette about Angelica? Post soon, this fic is fascinating
I read this the first time. It’s better the second time around. PPS.

Wow! Just caught up with these! I’ve been so bus lately…One word: Amazing! Michellia, can I just say that you’re an amazing writer girl…can’t believe i didn’t catch up any earlier!
u must have read my mind or as i was writing my last comment…i have been hanging out for you to continue this story…
Yeah…me too…this is where you left off lst time right…so now it’s upward and onward…what happens next? Is Henry dead? Let Tina go to Jamaica then find out the bad news when she returns (does that seem heartless?) Hope not…please post soon.
I think I’d be a little angry/hurt too like jb621. Still have no idea what’s up with Henry. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
At first I thought how wonderful the letter Candace left for Bette was. Unselfish, was the word that came to mind as I was reading. Candace tells her to go to Tina and help her out of the “hole” she has put herself in.( I think the “hole” is Henry…but I am rambling) I guess I wonder if I was Bette and my wife for 20+ years knew the whereabouts of my eldest daughter, I would be angry. How do you keep a secret that big to yourself and not share it with the one person you claim to love ? “Candace didn’t want Bette to go after her and have Tina end up moving again. She didn’t want Bette to go to jail because she couldn’t stay away.” Hellooo….you partner misses the daughter that she never had time to get to know, and you think by telling her she has been her “pen pal” makes up for not being her mother ? Maybe Candace was worried that Bette and Tina might reconnect and that is why she didn’t want Bette to know Angelica’s whereabouts ? Maybe her fear of losing Bette was more than her heart could handle so she decided to put Bette in contact with Angelica through writing, but never tell her who she is writing to ? I don’t know…for me, I would be angry. I would feel a sense of betrayal. But hey that’s me…a hot-headed Italian. PPS.
WOW!!! That was powerful. I so love this story. Thank you PPS
Hmmm…did you combine chpaters, baby? This was originally 8! I also remember having mixed feelings about Candace withholding that information about Angelica. I think I’d be pissed, too. It’s probably true that she was afraid she’d lose Bette, so on that level, it was very selfish. But I’ve said before, I just find it hard to believe that Bette and Tina would allow themselves to be so discontent for so long in marriages where their heart wasn’t completely there. Guess it happens, though. Got to be a terrible feeling to know you’re with someone who hasn’t let go of someone else you know they loved with their life! Definitely looking forward to the continuation of this one, Baby!
I fill the same as jb621, Lamentamini and arkaycee. I would be so pissed off, and probably not forgiving, if my partner knew the whereabouts of my missing child and did not tell me. Candance was probably afraid of losing Bette again. As for Henry, he is most likely being the “…hole” he always was! Now Tina… Next chapter please!
Of course I think I vary from the rest of the readers by saying I don’t think Candace was being selfish…she stated in this chapter and it was stated around the first and second chapter…Bette had restraining orders against her and had already spent time in jail for trying to stay in touch with Angelica. This way, Dacy was able to keep track of her without alerting Tina and Henry who obviously went through a lot of trouble to “hide” from Bette. Now, as much as it pains me to say this…and she was certainly a slefish bitch to have kept Angelica from Bette, Tina didn’t deserve the treatment that she did from Henry..obvously Henry wasn’t too put out by TIna cuz they had a kid together. I see Candace and Bette’s marriage as more as a geniuene friendship that bloomed into love. Maybe not the soulmate type of love her and tina had…but a love neverless…ok…I waiting for the brand spanking new chapter!
I remember being angry that Candace keep this a secret from Bette, Yet knowing Bette she would have ended up in jail and Tina moving. Please post more asap and lets see where you take us thanks
Of course, I remember this story..and still love it. Please keep writing
I can’t wait for this to continue, you have me at the edge of my seat…thanks!
