If it is meant to be…Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Tina looked over and watched her three children as they were gathered around Bette, the four of them talking about something that had them all in giggles. And, although she was still confused and more than a little scared about what was going on with her beautiful partner, she couldnt help the smile that played at the corners of her mouth, knowing that because of her relationship with Bette, her children were going to be exposed to so much more of the world.
When the confetti hit you, the look on yours and Moms face was priceless, MaBe! The group of four started laughing again, as Paul recalled the earlier bombardment Bette and Tina had received at the hands of the Collins trio.
Bette was loving how Dani and Paul were both now calling her MaBe…a nickname she treasured, as it was a name that had always been said with love…an endearment started by Nica, but one that Milaine had immediately picked up on, and used as her special name for Bette, instead of Mom, or Mother. It saddened her a little bit that Alex was still hesitant to call her that, instead preferring to stick with Bette.
She took a deep breath and looked down into the conflicted eyes of Tinas youngest child, hoping that some day Alex will be able to let go of the notion that her parents were going to get back together…until then, she let out a big sigh…Bette it is.
Alex reached over and tugged at Danis sleeve. Come on, lets go play on the computers again. Bette had set up two computers in the back of the gallery, which contained special software that allowed the user to simulated a potters wheel and a paint brush. With the potters wheel, you could see on the screen a wheel with what looked like a lump of clay on it. By holding on to a wand that was connected to the computer, and by moving your fingers up and down, as well as gripping it soft or hard, you could simulate fingers forming the clay into whatever you wanted. With the painting software, you could also hold a wand and paint by mixing colors yourself by touching different colors on the bottom of the screen, then stroking the screen as you would a canvas. Bette learned a few years back that she both needed, and wanted to provide something entertaining for the children of her friends and clients, so that they would enjoy the evening as much as their parents.

And since you brought it up…are you ever going to give us that salmon recipe????
Love it. Look forward to the next chapter.
Loving your story – don’t let anyone stop you from writing cause the romance and love is needed and you write it so well.
Had a feeling Tina would get hit with this sometime…so well written Sea…and write about B&T all you want…the stories can go round and round all they want…come back very soon
I forgot to say before that I hope you continue the Alice and Susan thread.
I really want Tina and Bette to be together. I agree that they need to talk to each other about their fears. That is the only way to move past them. I am a native of NYC. My wife & I met in NYC. I lived in the Bronx. Believe me if Tina & the children decide to move there they will have fun. Write soon
everyone needs someplace to escape. This “mush” is the first place I come when the need arises. Oh, how I love your mush.
Sea…..keep bringing the pablum. Your updates are always a great read.
Love this story and thankto write it. Wait next chapter with impatience.
can get enough of B&T, pablum, pablum, whatever, bring it on!! :)
“The course of true love never does run smooth.” These two will work it out, and we’ll enjoy reading all about how. Keep the faith, T. Keep writing, Sea.
Seahurst, here’s another quote for you, from yours truly: Bette and Tina rock…those who write about Bette and Tina rock harder…so stuff it!
Bette’s laughter does not augur well for their future, does it?
It seemed like a dream. I hope not.
SO GLAD to see that you had psdted today. Still say that Tina ex Dan needs to get tranfer to NY. they Dan and Kathy loves Bette so try to get in moved to NY. Bette would be happy,Tina would be happer. and the children could get the Porter charm as a glide line to life. thanks
oh.. Tina.. I so want this to work out. I have faith in the love between them.
Sea, nice to see your writing. Hope you’re enjoying your trek. You have great courage.

poor tina…i hope everything works out for her and bette. they’ve been waiting so long to be together…i hope they can finally be happy. Thanks for the chapter, sea…hopfully you’ll be posting soon.
Please, Please, Please let to two beautiful women learn from past mistakes and remember to talk to one another. Don’t let fear dictate their life. There should be someway for them to be able to live with one another.
I want to echo bvhall and move everyone to New York for now. Seattle is great but they all need to excitement of Bette’s city. Glad you had time in your adventure to write for us, you are such a favorite.
Darlin’, if this is ‘pablum,’ BRING IT–I want another helping! Loving this chapter, even though it’s got me all tied up in agitated knots! Thanks so much for posting!
seahurst, have missed your story, this is so much better than the new season. Been really dissapointed with the angle they are taking, but thats TV need good ratings right? keep posting and thanks for taking the time.
First: I liked your previous “stand alone-jumbling-thought†chapter. Jumble on girl!
I agree completely – sometimes we need an escape route from what is going on in our world. You can make me wet anytime – with that bucket of mush of course!
You might be proud to be a pabulum type of writer but I have to disappoint you Sea – your writing is everything but simplistic and your ideas are not unimaginative.
As for your distraction syndrome: avoid all shellfish, mollusks, seahorses and marine animals from now till the next chapter – think creatures with 4 legs or wings (like burgers and hot-dogs)
Glad to see you have posted…it was a very pleasant suprise. Your “focus” was right on with this one, as always. Great chapter, Sea!
Wonderful as always, as if there was any doubt in my mind it wouldn’t be! And I’m with ffc, bring it on, Sea.
nice chapter. i vote NY too. ;)
Be Very Proud! I am always happy to read your simplistic and *very* imaginative ideas about Tina and Bette. Another excellent chapter, as always. Thanks for writing!
Hmm… simplistic and unimaginative. Many of us love simplistic and unimaginative. Wonderful chapter.
Yay…she’s back and with another great chapter. I know you will guide B and T through the turbulent waters safely. I agree with others, maybe NY should be the place for them for a while. Any way no matter where you take us/them I am along for the ride! I think the “mush” is what is needed now so thanks!
Seahurst, I will take your buckets of mush any day!
it’s great to see someone keeping B&T alive, don’t stop your story is amazing
pablum my ass!!! it takes a special person to write a special love story. please continue your wonderful story its a pleasure reading it.
Seahurst….i am so glad that you came back to write….i love this fic….
good god Sea….i love your story so much, its unreal. Please…never end it! lol.
“The one thing we can never get enough of is love.
And the one thing we never give enough is love.”
Henry Miller, American Author
Seahurst, your stories, are an example of how much we enjoy reading about love…the B&T kind. Keep writing and let’s not worry about all the negativity that seems to occur on this site once in awhile…peace.
Susan and Alice is a blast. Enjoyed it as always.
story is wonderful,i love it read it one night for hours could hardly stop to go to bed.
ah Tina wakes up???!!!!Once again, Bette has been turning herself inside out (e.g. horrible job at CAC) to meet T’s needs…what about Bette’s creative needs??? Tina has vested hers in her children, Art and Artists are Bette’s children…jmho
