A helping hand and a push in the right direction-CH. 11
MONDAY MORNING-LA
Bette had made sure that she set her alarm for 5:30am, she figured since the Science Center opened at 9am they’d have plenty of time to eat some breakfast go to the market then go to the Center from there. After showering and getting the coffee started she looked into the fridge to see what they could eat for breakfast. As she was sifting through all the leftovers Eli walked in.
Bette: "Hey you’re up early I was going to let you sleep for another half hour."
Eli: "I set the alarm on my phone to make sure I didn’t get up too late." He yawned and rubbed his eyes a little.
Bette: "Why don’t you go wash up and get ready. While I figure out what we’ll have for breakfast." Bette couldn’t help but ruffle his hair, he looked so cute in the morning, he had the same sleepy look in his eyes that Tina did.
Eli: "We can eat after we go to the market."
Bette: "That would probably be best because all we have is leftovers. Okay why don’t we go get ready."
After they both changed they met back in the kitchen.
Bette: "I’ll finish my coffee and you finish your orange juice then we’ll get going."
Eli: "Okay."
Bette: "Do you think we should write out a list first?"
Eli: "That’s what mom usually does but we’re kind of starting from scratch so…"
Bette: "Yeah we’ll just go up and down the aisles and toss in the stuff we need."
Eli: "Sounds like a plan."
Bette: "Okay lets get going."
They drove over to the nearest supermarket and they were making good time.
Bette: "Wow I don’t think I’ve ever been here this early…" Bette was pushing the cart with Eli grinning at her side. "Fine I rarely go to the market but in my defense LA has a lot of good places that deliver takeout and my sister owns a café. A market doesn’t serve much purpose for someone who doesn’t cook."
Eli: "I can teach you how to make some stuff. Mom always had me in the kitchen with her when she was cooking, you know to keep an eye on me. That and she watches cooking shows sometimes. I picked up a few things, and when I was old enough she’d let me help her. Didn’t she ever teach you to cook?"

Yay! That’s so sweet! *doing little happy dance* I guess after hearing what Tina said, Bette probably overdose of sweetness and gets sugar high already. Lol… LOVED IT, can’t wait for more. :)
i enjoyed so much reading this story, Eli is a smart kid i love him! maybe Tina would arrive on wednesday to espend time wiht Bette and Eli! thanks for the post!
Great update!! Wouldn’t it be a wonderful surprise if Tina showed up at Disneyland on Wednesday!!!
God..I love this story. Eli is just freakin’ adorable and you give us just enough of B & T to make our hearts happy.
Oh my goodness, wouldn’t it be loverly to have Tina show up at DL and surprise everyone. I hope you let that happen. I want them back together and Eli is just the man to do it. Oh happy day, doing my happy dance. Thanks for a lovely story.
This is so so good. That kid is going to be President!
I am so loving this story! I like how Eli is protective of his mother. I can’t wait til Bette meets Nero. I bet Tina comes Wed. just in time for dinner with the family. I just hope the lady on the answering machine dosen’t make a surprise appearance. Keep this going!
damn……..lmao……..im not datin anyone either….bye……….i love this fic…….gosh……im gettin all giddy bout it……….bring more soon…..
please post soon-maybe tee will be there when thet return from disneyland
This is such a great story – I love the interaction you portray between Eli and the girls, especially Eli and Bette. They are just too cute together and I can’t wait to see Tina, Eli and Bette – all three of them together. Can’t wait for more Tori!
I love this story! However, in my position as protector of Bette, it is my sworn duty to remind the class, in regard to Eli’s comment about not allowing anyone to hurt his mother, that it was Eli and therefore Tina who launched themselves unannounced and..may I say, uninvited, into Bette’s life, and in so doing, who was looking out for her? My work is never done…tsk tsk…
Great post – I love this story.
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
TAG! brb
loving this story… i just love bette with eli.. and so glad tina is happy they are getting along… and now i know bette won’t sleep all night… thinking what tina said to her… to bad tina can’t show up at disney tomorrow… well she could… now that would be perfect… she would have to go back to the house with them… hmmmmmmmm… please continue… and bring them back together… slow and loving… we need to read more loving stories between bette and tina… thanks… later babe
I am so doing the happy dance cuz you posted this story just was gonna go to sleep all disappointed…be back…
I love that “I’m not seeing anyone either’…hot tomalies!!!!!! are these 2 heading to a reunion??? can we have some long ago promised dating first, romantic dinners, dancing, moonlight walks on that beach where T’s gonna rent….let them do it right, not too fast…and sexy!!!!!!! my wish…oh I’m blushing now, lmao
loving this story! alice is so funny! really liked tina’s little thrown in that she wasn’t dating either! it felt very first jr. high crush! all us bettinaers are counting on you to continue to lift our spirits!
So we don’t even get Bette’s reaction to Tina’s statement about not seeing anyone? She probably sat there with a “duh” look on her face for a few seconds before realization sank in. Maybe I should take Eli with me next time I go to an amusement park. Last time I rode a roller coaster at Paramount’s King’s Island was 2 years ago and before that it was 5 years. I got REALLY old in those 5 years and noticed that I can’t seem to handle those coasters like I could when I was younger, and those aren’t even all that bad.
and Grace and T’s conversation..question:In your story, are T and B married?????? does that make Eli, Bette’s legal son????How come they never got divorced????? is it cuz there was just NO OTHER LOVE???????
i’m with lamentamini, would be nice to see bette’s reaction to tina’s non dating statement…very nice chapter, warm and sweet, and the next i’m sure will be amusing since they all go to amusement park
I am so loving this story. I can not wait for Tina to get to LA. Hope it is soon. Thank you Great Chapter
SWEET!!!! LOVED THE ENDING!!! Ok one thing Y doesn’t Tina fly down to Disneyland and surprise Eli, it’s his first time there, and Bette’s, and Tina has never been there either, so it’ll be more fulfilling if the 3 of them (as well as the other members of the family) are there. just my opinion.
Love this story. It is so tender and sweet with just the right amount of tension. With family’s love surrounding them. Great reunion material. Keep ’em coming. Such fun and soon some romance?????
Now they both know that neither one of them are seeing anyone. Maybe now they can start to allow the other one back into their lives. Where I live Disney World is the place to be. I love it there so I can guess that Eli and the rest of the gang are going to have a blast. It is getting closer to Tina actually flying to California and seeing the one person that still takes her breath away. Thanks for the post. How is the project coming?
Wait until it soaks in whst Tina said. will Bette a happy dance? Love how Eli and Bette gets alone. How Eli picked up on the cooling with Tina.and Bette. I wish that Tina would show up at DW and surprise both Bette and Eli and the rest of the girls. Love Eli. We need all the Bette and Tina stories we can get,Makes us have hope thanks
How nice to see them actually communicating. Not many stories have them speaking together for more than 10 words without getting into a fight. Thanks.
love it! love it! love it!!!! =) i can’t wait to read more!!!!!!
I hope that since Tina and Bette are single, it means that they will start rekindling there relationship. Maybe, Tina will fly down to Cali and surprise them on Wednesday while they are relaxing. Especially with Tina thinking about moving to Cali for the summer, her and Bette could use this time to start thinking about being a family again. I think Tina did the right thing by leaving Bette with that information to ponder while she is out with Eli tomorrow. Please post soon.
This is definately my favourite story and each chapter is soooo long, yeah! I have so many questions that I can’t wait for answers for, but I will cause I know they will be answered in time. Great work lol
I LOVE this story! Started it last night but had to close my eyes… It’s great how you ended–would love to hear both their reactions to how the convo ended–T saying “I can’t believe I told her that!”, which is why she hung up right away, while Bette does a happy dance hearing it (probably more of a thoughtful, happy response with her flashing that beautiful smile upon the realization that Tina told her that very deliberately! We all want so much to get those two back together, and you are doing an excellent job hooking us into the twists and turns of how you’ll bring it about. Please post again soon!
This story is so very AWESOME… please post more SOOOOONNNNNN!!!!thank you!
I just got caught up on this story and I have really been enjoying it. I am so glad to see a little happines coming back into Bette’s life and the interaction with all of the “aunts” is just what got us all hooked in the first place. Eli is the catalyst for positive changes in both B and T’s life!Keep going and thanks.
