“….Katie told me all about Eli. It takes a great amount of initiative and intelligence to not only get into Arlington Preparatory but to also advance himself two years ahead of other kids his age…with the proper…”
Melvin stopped midsentence, when he saw Bette look back at him with anger in her eyes. He was a bit confused at what he could have said that would change her mood so dramatically.
Bette took a moment to calm herself down. She didn’t want to make a scene in front of everyone, especially Eli. Tina had witnessed many of her anger induced rantings, a majority of the time they were work related but she didn’t want Eli to see that side of her.
Once Bette calmed down she addressed her father. “Yesterday I told you, you had to make a decision to accept my family as your own or we could no longer be in each others life…but maybe I should have been more clear. If you want a place in my family you first have to accept my relationship with Tina. Any role you play in Eli’s life will be that of support, you’ll be his grandfather. Eli already has a parent that has in my opinion done a remarkable job raising him. Eli and Tina have accepted me into their family and I’m going to do everything in my power to be the wife and mother that they deserve. We will be making the decisions that are right for Eli. We will support whatever interests he may have. His education is important but it won’t be his entire life. I won’t let you step into his life and start making decisions for him.”
Bette noticed that more people were starting to look at them. “I don’t want to be having this conversation in public…”
“We can move this to my office if you want more privacy.”
“No I’ve said everything I have to say. I know you haven’t had much time to make your decision and I’m hoping you confided in Kit to help you make this decision.” Bette sighed as she felt like she was running out of steam. “I don’t want to lose you dad but whether you stay in my life or not is up to you.”

I was so happy to see you post…then I saw 6 pages I was like yeah! Melvin is coming around, I am glad Bette is not making it easy for him. He helped put a strain on their marriage all those years ago and he needs to own up to that. I am glad Bette is so protective of her family. Please post soon.
Great dialogue! Thanks!
One word…..FANTASTIC
I just adore this story.
how can anyone not love eli? i think melvin will come around and bette is indeed happy with tina, it’s time to accept it
This was great,seems like we were there watching the whole thing unfold. Love that Eli. thanks
You’re doing a great job w/this story. I just love it. It’s complex, realistic, interesting and well developed. PPS.
All I can say is…IT’s ABOUT TIME! Bravo Bette for putting “Daddy” in his place.
Flawless. Love the way you’re moving the story and DEFINITELY love the direction it’s going. Can’t wait for more!
Yeah, Bette held her ground and again relayed the message that she was not going to tolerate his behavior towards Tina. Tina has finally become the equal to Bette in all aspects of Bette’s life. Loved how Eli went toe to toe with Melvin and won.
a very good chapter, i like the fact that Bette protect her family but Eli is such a charming boy and he will win the Melvin’s heart like he did with the others people. i really want to read about the openning and some love time i can’t wait for the next chapter!
That was amazing and love it. Post soon please, thanks!
Exquisite.
Always thrilled to see youor posts. Love this story to the MAX. The way you have developed Eli is absolutely wonderful, you hve made him such a great child and everyone, and I mean everyone loves him to pieces. Even old Melvin seems to like him. So happy that Bette had the gonads to stand up to her father and happy also that Kit gave him a bit of advice on that subject as well. Can hardly wait for the next episode in this story. LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STORY. Thanks.
thank you, just please don’t keep us waiting too long. look forward to next chapter and i enjoy the long ones
Is there any way we can clone Eli and each have one of our own?
I love this story, Eli & how prtective Bette is.
Everytime I see a post from you, I get a big goofy smile on my face. I totally loves this story and your great writing. Eli was awesome with Mr. Porter and is that man retarded or what????? This post was a bit ‘heavy’, but very much necessary for the story, you’re a amazing writer. Post as soon as possible….PLEASE LOL.
BTW Kit was great in this post, she deserves a medal :o))
Toribio, I simply adore this story!!! I cannot go into details for this chapter, there would be too much to say, but all I can say is that this chappy is one of the best you’ve written so far! Everyone is so much in character and there are so many emotions coming from the different interactions! You’re such a talented writer and the next post cannot come soon enough for me! I know I always say the same, but what you’ve done with Eli’s character is simply amazing! I love that kid! I’m also very happy that Tina was able to witness Bette’s standing up to her father, that’s the least she deserves, and that’s an understatement. And Kit’s so right: The first person Melvin should make amends to is Tina. I really believe that she took a lot of shit from him and it’s about time she’s treated like she deserves, not only with respect, but also love and gratitude for making Bette this happy! Oups, sorry about the rambling… BTW, I loved Kit’s argument to her father at the beginning of the chapter, that’s a hell of a universal argument! Well done, and many thanks!!! Ok, I’m done…
Simply amazing!! Everything was perfect :D
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh I hang out for your post; love the story; heavy dialogue today but necessary…like the interactions of Bette & Eli; and Bette & Tina…PPS
I so love this story. Bette talking to Nelvin like that was great. THank you PPS
This is such a great story, dialouge is perfect. Thank you.
toribio, a fantastic post once again! Excellent, difficult dialogue from each character. I agree with kword wholeheartedly! Would love to see Melvin make this 180% turn and make amends for his earlier foolishness! Can’t wait to see the next chapter! Hope you continue this story indefinitely!
