Tina’s Side
**********
"Hello." I said as I answered the phone.
"Tina, it’s me."
"Mom, how are you?" I asked my mom.
"I’m good." Mom simply said and I sensed that there’s something wrong just by the tone of her voice.
"What’s wrong?" I quickly asked.
"It’s your father." My mom said. "He had a heart attack."
"Is he okay?" I asked again.
"Yes he is. But he’s not in a good condition." Mom said.
When mom said that there is something wrong with dad, I immediately thought that it has something to do with Bette and I. And after hearing that he had an heart attack I took a sigh of relief. Then it hit me.
My father HAD a heart attack.
"Where is he?" I asked again.
"We’re still here in the hospital." Mom said.
"When did this happened?" I asked again.
"Just a few hours ago. We’re just eating when he suddenly felt her chest aching." Mom said as she cried on the phone.
"Mom I’m going there now." I said.
"Please Tina, your father needs you. He needs all of his children with him now." Mom said, I can hear her sobbing.
"We’ll be there. I just have to call Bette." I said.
"Okay honey. Take care." Mom said.
"We will. And please tell daddy that I love him." I said as my own tears strated to fall.
"I will." Mom said as we ended the call.
I felt bad knowing how my father and I had been this past few weeks. I maybe the cause of his heart attack. But what could I do? I just fell in love, he just can’t accept that I fell in love with a woman.

Bette’s Side
**********
It was 3 in the afternoon when I received a phone call from Tina, telling me what happened to her father. I have a meeting in an hour and I have to finish a report this week but Tina is more important. And I know that she needs me now. So, without hesitation, I left the office and informed my boss that I might not show up for a couple of days. And to my luck, my boss understood.
I went home immediately and I called a travel agency on my way home to make reservations for our trip. I know Tina wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Baby?" I called out for Tina.
"Here." Tina said from the bedroom.
"Hi." I said as I approached her.
"This will be fine, I just packed us a few clothes." Tina said as she stuff the bag with our clothes.
"Come here." I said as I envelope Tina with my arms. "How are you?"
"Bette.." Tina said as she begin to cry.
"Shhhh.. It’s okay. Your mom told you he’s okay. Right?"
Tina just shook her head.
"Are you ready?" I asked her.
Tina nodded.
"Come on. Let’s go to the airport." I said.
"Now? You haven’t even changed your clothes yet." Tin said.
"I’m fine. Come on. He needs you beside him." I said.
"Thank you." Tina said as she kiss me on the lips. "I don’t know what I’ll do without you."
"You don’t have to worry about that. I’m always here." I said as I wiped her tears away. "Come on. Our flight is in two hours."
"I love you sooo much." Tina said as she gave me another kiss.
"I love you too." I said as reached for Tina’s hand. I grabbed the bag that Tina packed and led her out of our bedroom.

Tina’s Side

"How is he?" I asked mom.
We just arrived and my mom greeted us at the hospital.
"He’s stable." Mom said.
"Is he awake? Can I see him now?" I asked mom.
"I think he is awake. Go inside." Mom said.
I reached for Bette’s hand to accompany me inside my dad’s room.
"No. You go ahead first. Talk to him first. I’ll wait for you after you’re done talking with him. I’m sure he wants some alone time with you." Bette said.
"Okay. I love you" I said as I kissed her on the lips. "I’ll be back."

Bette’s Side
**********
"Sorry about that." I said to her mom, pertaining to the kiss she just witnessed.
"No. It’s okay." Tina’s mom said. "How are you and Tina?"
"We’re good. We’re doing okay actually." I simply said.
There was a moment of silence for a minute until her mother begin to talk again.
"Bette, I love you. You know that, right?" Tina’s mom said. "And I accept you and Tina as a couple."
My heart started to beat faster. For some reason I felt that something bad is going to happen.
"But Tina’s father is sick. And the doctor told me that the next heart attack that will occur might end his life." Tina’s mom said as she started to cry.
I instinctively put my arms around her shoulders, trying to console her. That’s the natural thing to do when you saw someone crying. Right?
"I don’t want him to die bothered." Tina’s mom said.
"What are you saying?" I asked her although I already know what she’s trying to say.
"You know how he feels about you and Tina." Tina’s mom started.
"And you want me to break up with her?" I said trying so hard to at least show some respect to my girlfriend’s mother.
"For her father." Tina’s mom said.
"We don’t have to break-up. I can just go back to LA and–"
"He’ll know the truth." Tina’s mom said. "He knows Tina so much that he will know if the two of you are still together."
"How?" I asked.
"The ring she’s wearing and Bette you now how Tina is so obvious.. you can tell by her look and her eyes if she’s happy or not." Tina’s mom said.
"So you’re telling me that you’d rather see Tina sad than happy?" I asked again, my voice is starting to reflect how pissed off I am.
"Bette you don’t understand. Tina’s father is dying. Maybe in a couple of days, a couple of weeks or month. I want my husband to die happy."
"So you’re asking me to break up with Tina." I said again. "I don’t think she’ll agree with this."
"We don’t have to tell her." Tina’s mom said. "This will only work if you can make Tina believe that you don’t love her anymore." Tina’s mom continued. "Bette if Tina loves you, and I’m sure that she does, she will come back to you again."
"Why are you asking me to do this?" I said as tears started to form in my eyes.
"Hurt her so she’ll believe you don’t love her anymore." Tina’s mom answered. "I don’t want to do this Bette but please do it for me and for my husband." Tina’s mom said as she held my hand.

Can someone please tel Mrs Kennard to f*** off?
Wowwee, x-Krust, You are a wicked one. I was shouting NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! at the screen as I read the final lines. I think that Bette should talk things through with Tina NOW. If she follows Tin’s mom’s wishes then she will never forgive herself for doing the wring thing for the right reasons. Yes, parents are important in our lives but we each follow our own path. Sometimes it aligns with our parent’s dreams and sometimes it doesn’t but you have to follow it yourself to make the trip worthwhiule. I know that this health scare makes Tina’s dad realize the wonderful lover his daugther has and how important the gift of parental acceptance is. Bring it on. Many thanks for shocking me today. Brilliant. Much appreciation from Your Loyal Fan.
I´m just a silent reader…but I have to comment about this: DON’T LET BETTE DO THAT PLEASE. TO HELL WITH TINA’S FATHER!
Hoo my god!WTF??? Is Tina´s mom crazy???? C´mon her dad his going to die anyaway! Hope Bette doesn´t do that!Great chapter and PPS
That is so shitty of Tina’s Mom. She had rather see Tina unhappy.and her husband dies thinking he is happy. In todays real world,people can live a long time after having a heart attach. If he dies it will be his fault by not taking care of his self. Bette dont do it. Please dont do it. Tina will surely not be happy and some people dies of broken hearts,as well as heart attacks. thanks
x_ I think you can get arrested for insighting a riot. I moma K is so overwelmed with greif for her husband that she would take her own childs happiness away I think Bette should drag her over to the nurses stationa and insist that they give her something to calm her nerves (such as 10 v’s). Md
Damn. Tina’s Mom is an asshole. People may never have another heart attack..even if they have a heart condition. Her Mom would rather her potentially live years and years being unhappy than tell her bigoted husband to try loving Tina unconditionally? I hope Bette doesn’t try it. She really loves Tina but love isn’t controlling.. it isn’t making decisions for the other person. Tina is an adult. She can decide what life she wants for herself. PPS.
Oh damn this is sad and bad. Please don’t let anything break B&T up. Please post more, thanks!
Good work there, you’ve incited outrage:-)I liked the idea of Tina overhearing that conversation but I would settle with a ‘were getting married so step off bitch’:-) PPS
what?..again…What!?!
don’t do it… it will kill tina…
Is Tina’s mom out of her flippin mind? What sane person would ask someone to do a thing like that? She is crazy if she really accepted B&T she would go along with the pretend story, maybe she is testing Bette to see if she loves Tina enough to give up everything in her life. They may both be in on it and her dad may be in the hospital for an entirely diffrent reason than a heart attack trying to break B&T up. Please let Bette tell her to go to hell and take her woman home pps.
Ppl think of themselves and other ppl’s matter become nothing to them… sigh… to destroy a real true happiness for a lie… I’m not sure this is the right thing to do. :( PPS
Silent reader here, but had to comment. Bette can’t do it. It would break Tina and she (Tina) would never forgive her at this time. Bette needs to tell Tina, or as another reader wrote have Tina overhear the conversation…
…WHAT! I guess Tina’s mom never took into consideration that some people’s views change when faced with illness and/or death. This would kill Tina and if I was her and Bette told me why she did it, I wouldn’t take her back.
I understand Tina mom is under a lot of stress right now, but she is basically blaming her husband’s heart attack on T&B. Maybe she should just change his diet and make him exercise more. But asking Bette to break up with Tina is crazy as *ell. She doesn’t want him to die bothered by B&T’s relationship, but seeing Tina unhappy won’t bother him? What sense does that make? Hopefully coming close to death will make him think about his bigoted views and help him become a better person. PPS
What kind of sadistic parents are these. I can’t imagine orchestrating such a devious plot against one of my children. Saddens me to think that a father would derive any happiness in seeing his child heartbroken. I agree with Lamentamini, if I were Tina, I would not take Bette back and certainly would not continue any relationship with the mother.
WTF, NO WAY!!!! with an ultimatum like that it makes you wonder if it is a heart attack, or a “heart attack” People say they accept, and then they hit you with crap like this and then you see it was all a lie. Bette should tell Tina, this is not something that she should keep to herself. Tina’s parents are the definition of selfish!!!! Heck am so pissed right now, it would be good for them both to keel over from a heart attack after seeing them fuck!!! hypocrites….UGH!!!! man Krusty you really hit a nerve with this one!!!
Are you kidding me. NO way don’t do it Bette. You can’t control someone’s health. Tina miserable and hurt would probably only make her father feel guilty and add more stress. I understand Tina’s Mom is grasping for straws, but this is not the way.
Yah, well I’d be like F you bitch. God what right do our parents think they have over our happiness, and when does that all change, they want our best but only until we disappoint their fantasy life for us….Gawd this incited my anger……but PPS. I want to hear Bette tell her to kiss her ass, or Tina over hear the conversation.
Tina mom wants her husband to die happy by Bette breaking up with her but if she does this, we will all die heartbroken, do she knows what shes saying?
