“Yes”
Her eyes flash with sheer relief before she drops her eyelids and whispers
“Say it”
“I still love you…….but….”
She raises her finger to my lips “Sshhh” she takes my hand and turns away from me “come”
“Where”
Turning back to face me she raises her eyebrows and smiles“Where do you think”
“Tina….I think we need to talk”
She giggles “I know and you have a one track mind Porter….I thought we could go sit by the pool”
“And you are such a tease Kinnard” I reply as I allow her to lead me
Once outside she sits on the 6ft cushioned glider, releasing my hand from hers I make a move to sit at the opposite side.
She kicks her legs up, her look challenging me to lay with her, I hesitate…..
“Please….” Her eyes as soft and pleading as her tone.
I cannot resist I never could
As I lay my head on her chest I hear and feel her sharp intake of air as she wraps her arms around me, which only matches my own, as I exhale I expect to feel the rise of her chest….it doesn’t come….I look up to find her eyes closed “Breath Tee” I whisper
She lets out the breath she was holding and opens her eyes smiling she says “I’d died and gone to heaven”
My lips…. eyes…. heart….my very soul are smiling I stretch and place a soft kiss on her lips but pull back quickly before I lose the ability to do so.
“Wow…corny really works for you huh” She teases “Bette this is crazy….why are we not together”
I sigh as I lay my head back down on her chest, there is more than one answer to that question but I lead with the obvious.
“If I remember correctly you dumped my ass”
“I plead temporary insanity……” She nervously twirls my hair with her fingers “I was wrong….so wrong and if I could turn back time I would do everything so differently….we should have talked about it….and before you say it I know talking was never high on my list of priorities but I am trying to change that….I am trying so hard…..I want…I want….”
Her voice is breaking and without looking I know her eyes are filling. I want desperately to tell her she can can everything she wants. I will my heart to rule my head just once.
“I can’t” I say it so softly I doubt she heard
“Don’t say that…..we can”
I lift my head “Tina look at me and tell me you don’t want children”
I was right about her eyes as she drops her eyelids I watch the tears fall freely, I hate myself for doing this why am I punishing her…us…for something that happened so long ago…..something that I had absolutely no control over….I push my self up and with my thumbs wipe the tears from her cheeks, the gesture entice her eyes open
“I can’t” Her voice is hoarse and regretful. “But Bette I want you more…..why don’t you believe me”
“I believe you believe that now what worries me is next year…the year after that….in 5 years when your biological clock it tick tocking away…..Tina you have spent your whole life wanting children It’s too much to give up”
“Isn’t that my choice to make…..much like your choice that you don’t want them…If I can respect your decision why can’t you respect mine”
I didn’t even get the time to fully digest never mind respond to that before she continued.
“Speaking of which why are you so adamant that you will never want children”
Her question was totally justified and expected the answer was one I had only ever told once before in the mist of a very drunken and weakened state. Now sitting with the only person who deserved to know I’m not sure where to start….I guess at the beginning……..

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting today! I’ve been waiting for an update to pull me out of lurking! You’ve done it again…making my heartache for these two. pps!
About time Bette talked…or their relationship is over b4 it barely commenced.
Exactlywhatjp22said!
Glad they had a little talking but, Bette needs to tell her WHY she feels this way. And she should have told her that she could have everything she wants also. Gosh, hope they talk really soon. Thanks for posting.
Wow. I’m not sure there’s anything I can say that no one else has said yet, except this: Where’s that NC chapter, Skim? I can think of 21 reasons for it lol
Keep them talking and work thing out!
AH!!! come on you can’t leave us like that.
And I’ll second jp22 comment. SOON
Nice stopping point…..baaaaad Skimmer! Thanks for the post though. This is such a sweet painful story.
Brilliant, awesome update. I’m glad they’re off the phone and talking face to face. Now let’s hear what Bette’s fear is all about. Thank you Skimmer for posting :)
Well at least they are talking…..but they just need to trust their love the rest will take care of itself
I would light up with pleasure now! :o) This was a good chapter like always.
Skimmy…I have never known you to be so cruel…telling us you’ll not be able to post much and then leaving us with that wacking big cliff hanger! OMG now we have to wait to hear the story where we are finally going to see why Bette doesn’t want children. Well, I’ll just have to steel myself for the long wait…try to write something when they go to bed please.
Diddo as per jp22. PPS
Hey Skimmer! I’m all caught up now and popped in to say I’m loving this story. I’d repeat what jp said but…I just can’t get enough air in me to say that all at once! Thanks for taking the time to post :)
OMG, you had me hanging on every single word. I can feel their pain every inch of the way. Just fantastic.
Thanks for the update. This is so heartbreaking to see them struggling like this. I hope that in telling her story Bette can get some closure about whatever it was that happened and open her mind to the possibility of being a parent….Please…..
