    A helping hand and a push in the right direction–Ch. 10

     

    Kit: "But."

     

    Bette looked over at Kit before a downcast look replaced her smile and she looked back down.

     

    Bette: "Even if we were able to start again, I don’t know how this could work out. They live in New York and by all accounts they’re very happy. My life’s here. I’m going to be opening my second gallery I can’t just leave." Bette sighed and looked back up. "I haven’t even processed everything yet, for now I’m just going to focus on getting to know Eli. And like Tina said the rest we’ll figure out when she gets here. Theirs no reason for me to get my hopes up before we even had an honest conversation about us."

     

    Alice: "You’re not even going to ask her about his name?"

     

    Bette: "I haven’t decided yet. I could ask her over the phone or I can wait until she’s in California…I want to know but I don’t want to risk getting in a fight with her. I don’t know why she would give him my last name but not let me take part in his life. I would have given anything to have been able to raise him with her. Honestly I’m starting to get upset over the fact that she didn’t give me the chance to get to know him sooner, but then I think about what I did to her…what we did to each other. But why did she have to move to New York?" Bette was trying really hard not to cry she didn’t want Eli to look over and see her like this.

     

    Kit and Alice scooted closer to her and put their arms around her.

     

    Shane: "None of us wanted her to leave or even expected her to be gone so long. But for some reason she felt like she had to leave…you may not agree with her reasons, but if she had stayed then there wouldn’t be Eli. You know Tina better than any of us you know there has to be a good reason she didn’t come back sooner. I don’t like to tell people what to do, but if you got at this the wrong way it could be the second biggest mistake of your life."

    1. 5 stars…5 stars…5 stars. I love this story. Can’t wait for Tina’s arrival so they can talk face to face. Keep everyone healthy and happy. No plane crashes for Tina, no car wrecks, etc.

    2. Dainty is very smart. To put two and two together .Elizabeth Porter and Eli Porter Kennard. Eli reminds me of Bette so knowledgeable and always ready to learn more. He will love Bette the way Tina does forever. He have surrounded with lots of love and a Mom that knows heart ache. I caught the He wasnt a woman and some one else had her love. Wonder it Bette hear the same thing? thanks,Eli is a amazing child thanks

    3. This story is definitely a winner. I just love it and the way you’re unfolding the different characters. Dialogue is excellent and I do appreciate the longer chapters. I can really get engrossed in it.

    4. it has been a very relaxing and easy read, thanks…so wonderful to see how happy everyone is with Eli…can’t wait for Tina to get to LA so they can talk face to face

    5. As with all great stories there has too be a certain amount of drama. So is it on the cards? Anyway loved this chapter, you’ve captured the essense of all the main characters to perfection. Thanks and post soon.

    6. This story is awesome! I hope there is nothing wrong with Tina and that her naming Eli after her 1st love, is only because she missed and loves her so much. The story is happy and upbeat and I hope if there is any drama, that its minimal.

    7. YIPPEEEEEE!! Doing happy dance!!! Great chapter as always can’t wait to see how the week goes and when T arrives..post SOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!! THANK YOU!!!

    8. Maybe I imagined it but wasn’t Oliver as the donor mentioned in one of the first chapters? And I feel dumb I didn’t even noticed that Eli is in the name Elizabeth. DUHHHHHHH lol

    9. the phone time was so sweet! and Bette getting jelous was great! they still love each other ! glad that the gang was so nice with Eli, i can’t wait to read about Tina landing in LA! you are doing so great! congrats!

    10. Thanks for taking time out to post this chapter. I am getting so excited about Tina coming to LA. I can not wait until Bette and her are face to face. Eli seems to know that both of them are still very much in love with each other. It is going to interesting when Tina explains her naming Eli with Bette’s last name. Post when you can.

    11. Wow! Thanks for this awewsome story that you’re taking your time to tell. I love the way you’ve fleshed out this journey, and I feel like a butthead for not seeing the Eli–Elizabeth connection! I was so excited when I saw your latest post appear! Hope the next one is a long one, too! Thanks so much for hooking us into the possibility of a happy ending, all as a result of a little child leading the way!

    12. well i just read all 10 chapters and i love this story… i am so glad they are nice to each other over the phone and that tina didn’t go crazy when bette started to yell about taking eli back… when she was going to ask bette to keep him for the week… so now when tina comes to visit… i hope she also gets to stay with bette… she has plenty of room… please continue

    13. awesome, I am so in love with this story, can’t help but love Eli, and I agree…short for Elizabeth? Tina’s been carrying a torch for Bette forever, why oh why did she stay away for so long; Aanywayz can you pleaseeeeee get them face to face, mouth to mouth, body to bodyyyyyy like not in 3 days but tomorrow!!!!lmao….more please!!!!

    14. I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. Uuummmmm, love the story or couldn’t you tell. This was a fantastic chapter, so happy that everyone got along so well as I knew they would. Just knew that everyone would love Eli and just surround him with lots of love and most of all Bette would love him more, and his mother. Can hardly wait for Tina to get there just possibly the next day. I don’t believe she will wait another 2 or 3 days, if she is not already in California. I hope she will explain that since he was a boy she oculd not name him Elizabeth, so she shortened the name to Eli Porter, makes sense to me. Post again soon, please.
