Melvin chuckled again. “How foolish of me to forget. When did you get into town?”
“Sometime yesterday.”
The server came over and brought them their drinks and took their breakfast orders.
Melvin took a sip of his tea. “So I suppose you’re here for the same reason I am.”
Peggy smiled. “I wouldn’t miss Bette’s opening have you been to the gallery it’s quite remarkable what she’s done to transform that old building into the work of art it is now.”
Melvin tentatively looked up. “So you’ve already been to the gallery?”
Peggy was staring at her old friend. “Yes I had a wonderful afternoon with Bette and a very lovely young man. I can’t recall a time when I’ve seen her so happy.”
Peggy was happy to see a slight grin on Melvin’s face. “However as I was leaving Bette’s mood seemed to change a bit at the mention of your name. Why would you suppose that would happen?”
Melvin suddenly became very interested in his tea. He took a drink before putting his cup back down and looking at Peggy. “I spoke to Bette a month ago and we talked for a very long time she told me all about the gallery and how happy she was that it was all finally coming together…” Melvin smiled. “I told Bette that I was proud of her…that she had managed to outshine my every expectation for her career. We talked for a few more minutes catching up on each others lives but Bette didn’t have much to share about her personal life she instead started a conversation about Kit and how they have become closer…I didn’t put much thought into her lack of a personal life because Bette’s always been a very busy woman. When I went to visit Bette on Tuesday she suddenly had a family. She now regards a boy that she’s known for only two weeks as her son…” Melvin saw Peggy looking at him disapprovingly. “Eli’s a fine boy very well mannered, bright, he also has a very strong fortitude for someone so young but I showed up on Tuesday and I’m informed that a boy that I hadn’t even met was now my grandson and that his mother also happened to be the woman that broke Bette’s heart nine years ago. Now I know that Bette’s actions played a major part in the dissolving of their relationship but Bette was devastated when they separated. Why would she welcome this woman back into her life?”

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into writing this story, it is so good, just love it. Thank you.
Love Eli, Bette is so including Eli in this. It so cute that she want his permission to marry his Mom. Thanks for posting and do forget us thanks
this was great longer
i think everything is falling into place right now for B&T and melvin is the last piece of the puzzle…thank you
I agree with Sea…I love the length of your chapters. It’s a lovely story. I hope Bette will be supportive of Melvin and Tina talking alone.
Awwww I love this amazingly sweet story, I’ve really missed an update, but totally understand your prioritys. Looking forward to the next one – btw I just loves the plans they’re making :o))
I’ve been following this story from its beginning. It is so awesome. I also love that you write detailed and layered chapters. You take the time to have the story unfold at a realistic pace. Great job. Bette is so accomodating w/o being a doormat. Being a diehard TiBetter this is how I pictured their life together. I hope this happens on the TV show.
Excellent as always :D Your writing is great!.
Tina and Melvin… this should be interesting, bring it on!
WOW!!!! SO Great. I so love this story. I am happy for Bette and Tina. Thank you PPS
Great job once again, toribio! Wish I could write such long chapters! The way you have everyone talking things out is great–filling in the gaps the show left. Can’t wait to see how Tina’s convo with Melvin goes–it was neat how you connected him and Peggy. All these characters are true to form. Please post again as soon as you can!
You, of course, can’t see it, but I’m doing my happy dance. :) Glad to see this story back, finally! You peg Peggy pretty dead on; that stream of words without stopping. Ah, I do love her so! I had to laugh at Bette getting sleepy with Tina stroking her hair; I’m the same way. I think it’s cute that Bette wants to ask Eli’s permission. Seems about right if she’s going to be stepping into their lives. As for Tina and Melvin alone… yikes. Can’t wait to read all about it, though! Love how long your posts are, and I hope you don’t keep us waiting as long next time!
Great as usual. I really missed this story. Thanks for posten.
Is this story every worth the wait. Great job. Love how B&T are actually talking to each other, how Eli is included in all they’re plans and thoughts, especially Bette. Melvin will come around now that Peggy got a hold of him. I agree with AmandaMG, a baby sister would be good.
The talk that Peggy had with Melvin seemed to have kick started his want to maybe make things right. He maybe doing this for Bette and Himself but in the long run it will also be for Tina and Eli. I am so glad that they are working towards becoming a true family.
This is awesome and let see whats next, thanks!
1/2 finished I’ll be back!
love this s tory… and i hope you have no plans on stopping this… i think eli needs a baby sister… don’t you think
EXCELLENT updateand Amanda, you took the words out of my mouth. I sooooo totally agree with Amanda and love you writing and comittment to this story, PPS :o)
Toribio, this is absolutely fan-fucking-tastic!!! Sorry, but there are no better words! And great of Tina to let Bette in on her talk with her father, it would be an aweful move to start their new life with a lie indeed! I loved every single word of this chapter… Wrong, I loved every single word of every single chapter of this story!!! Thank you so much and please come back soon with either of your stories, you’re a fantastic writer!
I love this B&T (and Eli) I love how they communicate better now…how they are with each other. I am proud of how Bette is so protective of her family. I like how they were both willing to compromise about the move. I guess in a nutshell I love this story. Thanks for continuing to post and giving us something wonderful to read.
I like how long your chapters are. Thank you. This is such a sweet love story. Totally love Eli, although I don’t agree with Bette feeling like she has to his permission to marry Tina. It is cute, but Eli is still a nine year old child.
Awesome, I have been waiting, and waiting and you ceertainly didn’t disappoint
