Chapter 16 – Wrapping Your Arms Around a Precious Moment
Bette woke up alone. Feeling across the bed Bette confirmed that she was indeed alone which only acted as a reminder to herself that it was better this way. After her brief experience last night if anything it confirmed in Bettes mind that she is better off alone than being with the wrong person. After having the real thing any other activity was just so much less in meaning.
Bette was running a bit late as she made her way to the CAC. Kit had called this morning while she was getting dressed to have their daily check in. Bette sensed that Kit had some other worries going on so Bette spent the extra time reassuring Kit that all was well. The good news for Bette is that Kit invited her to dinner tomorrow night. Home cooking now who can pass that up so Bette readily agreed.
Bette had just entered the parking garage of the CAC when her cell went off. Seeing it was Shane Hey there stud, did you make it home last night or do I not want to ask?
You dont want to ask, but Im going to be home tonight watching March Madness. Its going to be me and a few other girls that I dont think you know, but I would like you to come. What do you think? Shane asks in an expectant voice.
Well, I dont know. Can I call you later? James has got something funky on my schedule for this afternoon and Im not sure what it is or how long it will take. If it turns out OK I would love to come. Bette responds. Really Shane I will. Trying to let Shane know she is sincere.
Shane wanting to connect with Bette says Well call me later, if you cant come by maybe we can hook up tomorrow sometime, OK?
Bette is left thinking God what is it today first Kit and now Shane but only saying Sure Shane, Ill call you later. With that Bette hangs up and makes her way into the CAC.
Running a little late Bette was immediately thrown into her schedule which seemed a little hectic today. Walking in and past James desk, James offers Bette a cup of coffee and advises her that he put her first appointment in the conference room. With that Bettes morning started and she would not get a break until well after noon.

Hmm…what else will Tina learn of Bette’s involvement. (And we won’t even get into the fact that she left the baby alone…although I suppose James was the de facto babysitter.)
Wonderful story. More with Bette and Anna please.
well that was one of the best “feel good” moments….I love this story :)
Oh yes, I’m all warm and fuzzy now. :) Poignant, this scene with Anna. Absolutely loev this side to Bette. Keep it coming!
What a lovely way for Bette to connect with her daughter. Love the way u left Anna alone so that Bette could spend some time with her.
Considering the state this season so far has left the B&T fans in, I’m not sure there is such a thing as “too warm and fuzzy”. Love it!
I am so happy that Bette finally had a chance to be with the baby.
Ahh I feel better now that I have my fix of this story for the day. Excellent. More soon!
beautiful – i can feel the warmth from here ( Merry old England !! ) Thank you
you’re touching the right spot, great work. you fully understand your characters. success with the writing !!!!
OMG, Oh my god; what a cliffhanger. Please post soon.
What a wonderful, heartrending and touching chapter. The lyrical way in which you have bought Bette and Anna together is breathtaking and astounding.
Am an emotional and hopeful romantic at this juncture. Emotional at the wealth of feeling and hopeful that Bette can be in the foreground of Anna and Tina’s lives.
Breathlessly awaiting your next installment.
A humble fan.
The plan is working yea. I am so happy for Bette, even though she is a fictional character, she has so earned this moment. Yea you for writing such a cool story.
