“It’s a phase Tina – you have three beautiful daughters and I think they are very sweet and lovable. You should sit down – all three of you and talk about how the two of you still love Rebecca but as well as parents you are also adults with needs that you could not fulfil with each other. If she looks at things differently she will feel better about it “
“I’ve always vowed that my daughters come before anything else – especially after we split up “
Bette nodded – how many times had she made that vow after Emily’s death? How many times had she sworn that she would devote her life to being everything to her three boys? But gradually she was beginning to see that the best thing for her sons was a mommy who was happy.
Bette tried not to think about whether she was happy or not. At first it had just been an achievement to make it to the end of the day with her sons a day older and sheltered from the pain that she had been in about losing her wife. She had got too good at hiding her grief – letting the pain come out at night or when she was alone.
The grief had overwhelmed her regardless of the support of her friends and the love of her sons.
Bette looked at the photograph of her family on the mantelpiece – the five of them so happy and perfect. And now she was alone with her sons – God she missed her wife – missed someone to share her sons with. Tina saw the change in Bette’s whole demeanour.
“Are you okay? “
“Yeah – it’s just hard for me sometimes “
“You have been really sweet listening to me especially when at least I have another parent to share the burden with “
Bette drank her Southern Comfort and poured herself another one – topping Tina’s up with a nod of assent from the blonde.
She rarely spoke about her wife – even to Helena or Lara but there was something about this soft spoken neighbour that made her want to share with Tina. Somehow Bette knew that the blonde would understand and was someone she wanted to share her feelings and thoughts with.

Glad for the update, love this story. Danny is cute. Seems to me Ms. Porter is trying to get Tina smashed. Maybe we could have a bit longer next time. Come on Ally, you know we always want more from you.
Yeh lets get drunk then wake up in bed together, Love it. Enjoy your holidays, (writing more chapters hopefully)
God, all that drinking-I’m glad they’re going to have some dinner, I wouldn’t want them too plowed to get to the good part. It would be nice if they put each other to bed and didn’t immediately fall asleep.
Awwww so cute – B&T getting drunk together could be fun….I’m sure you’ll have a great time writing that LOL. Ally hope you’ve a nice time off and will treat us with a lot of writing :o))
This story is so cute. So warm. It’s good to read and flows nicely. Lovely chappy, as usual. I hope you enjoy your week off and dont forget about us.
Thanks for another brilliant chapter. I hope they “get together” kids and all.
OMG the cats. LOL! Kids do say the darndest things, but this time Danny is right. Becky just needs to chill out. Tina and Ollie meeting was definitely an interesting story.
Bourbon gives one a resounding hangover and headache when consumed in large quantities as they are. LOL> Keep the faith ally. What TV producer wouldn’t kill to have two actors such as JB and LuH on their show. Their chemistry is astounding and IC’s repudiation of this chemistry is astounding as well. PPS.
So they have finally sat down and really talked with each other…not sure if strong alcohol is such a good mix in that…tends to sway my brain over to the forgetful and/or regretful side of things. Of course there were those rare instances when it did help to “move things along” in certain situations in a good way… Enough about that! I love this story Ally! You writing is so good! I love their relationships with their children. If only all parents would be this attentive to their children’s emotional needs. Bette is right telling Tina that she and Paul need to sit down and really talk with Becky. She is going to continue to lash out until someone gets through to her. I really like the interaction with the cats and Tina. If your cats like someone (even though they smell of dogs) you know they are alright! Thank you Ally! Have fun while you’re off! Hope you don’t get so high from the paint fumes that you forget about us! Can’t wait for more on this and all your other wonderful stories!
Ally – this was fantastic – such beautiful characterization of these two opening up to one another. Sorry life is hard – glad you have time off and will have time for you and for your writing – lucky us!!
yeyyyyyyyy!! ok, now post another one
just loving this story with the kids and all. just know what its like and your hitting it just right. thanks.
Fantastic story! I wonder how the next chapter pans out….especially if you’ll be writing in paint fumes!!! he he he think we may be in for a treat!!! he he he
okay ally im know the u.k. is diffrent than the states but when did you guys start calling painting/decorating the same thing as shagging out there?lol inhaling too many paintfumes.lol lovin this story shit i lov all your stories if im honest and yes let tibette continue to get to know each other where the drama can come out from hiding for sooo long.p.p.s.
thanks so much for this great story! they are so good together and they know that.
Very, very nice update Ally, I love that B&T are finally getting to know each other and letting down their gaurds. Bette is right, Tina and Ollie need to set down and talk to Becky together. Se is only acting out of love for her mother, and probably would have done the same thing if Tina had found someone first. They need to make her understand that they both still love each other and are much happier now. PPS :o).
Ah Ally….It finally dawned on me that this story is the Brady Bunch with a slight twist!!!I fricken luv it! I hope you write lots of this story in the next 2 weeks!pps
Oh Ally, it’s been too long since I gushed over one of your stories so I thought I’d break my silence. Once again you’ve brought a smile to my stubbornly grumpy face on a horrible day – you really do know how to warm my heart and help me chase some of my demons away for a while. If only your stories were infinitely long I would never have to face the real world! Keep on writing and know that what you do means so much. Thanks again. Violet x
nice, really nice…time for them both to let go and be happy with each other
nice story…have a holiday and a rest as well as do something different, huh? and i’ll wait for an update when u r ready.
So adorable. ‘Quietyly drunk’ is the only way to go, really. Can’t wait to see how they ever so slowly make their way together. Oh, and I was pleased to see Bette has a hair thing; I thought it was only me! :) Thanks, as always, ally!
Great chapter Ally! I really like this story!! :)
