Peggy paused for a second as she saw that Melvin was just sitting there as she chastised him. “Usually you’d be in a huff about being spoken to in such a manner so I take it by your reaction that you’ve been put in your place more than once since Tuesday. I imagine that you got quite a talking to by Bette and I’m sure Kit gave you a piece of her mind so the fact that you’re still in town tells me that you want to be in Bette’s life.”
Melvin sighed. “I love Bette I have since the moment she was born I know that a parent is supposed to love their child unconditionally but in every test of my love for my children I have failed. I’ve failed Kit most of all I’m not a perfect man but that girl tested me every chance she got but with Bette she was always willing to give 110% with everything, she never stepped out of line or challenged me in the least. So when she told me that she was gay I couldn’t accept that…she was supposed to be to graduate from Yale go on to become a successful career woman and when the time was right she would marry a man worthy of her love and they would gave me a grandchild…”
Peggy scoffed. “You old coot you do realize that Bette has done just that the only difference is that she found a woman that’s more then worthy of her love. Tina Kennard is a successful film producer, she’s smart, beautiful, and the one person I talked to gave her a glowing reference on her character he also told me that she was a wonderful mother. She has raised a son by herself and has not left him wanting for anything and if you ask me she has done a remarkable job…if you’re worried that a single mother is after Bette for her money don’t be because she has more in the bank then Bette…much more.”
An amused grin flashed on Melvin’s face. “Peggy did you have someone work up a background check?”
Peggy smiled. “Don’t look so smug you know that I harbor an affection for Bette I didn’t expect to find anything but it helps to be prudent in affairs of the heart…you know to ensure people’s sincerity I’ve had to do it for Helena more times then I can count. But let’s get one thing clear I didn’t do this for my peace of mind all it took was one look from Bette to know that she’s found the person she was meant to love. I did this so you don’t hide behind other reasons to dismiss their love for each other. Bette’s a very intelligent woman and is very capable of running her own life without us sticking our noses in her affairs. You know I care about you Melvin we’ve always been straight with each other but honestly you will regret it for the rest of your dwindling life if you don’t do everything you have to in order to keep your family together…and if you can’t come to terms with who Bette is than you don’t deserve to be a part of her or her family’s life.”

So fucking cute…=)
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
