AN-Wow am I blushing from the latest reviews. Thanks a million for taking the time to read and to review. Feedback is always welcomed and appreciated. Hope you enjoy.
It had been stupid to kidnap Angelica. Of course, in her mind she had not really kidnapped her own daughter. She had taken her so that Tina could not keep her from seeing her. Since the adoption had never taken place, she had no legal rights to her own baby girl. And that drove her nearly insane. How could she lose Tina and lose Angelica at the same time?
It was partially her own fault. She had let that darn lawyer talk her into filing for sole custody of Angelica. Though it was going to be hard to be around Tina, especially with Henry right there, it would have been worth it so that it had not come to this. Here she was sitting in a restaurant asking if anyone had a sippy cup.
But that was the parent's responsibility. What kind of a parent was she if she was going to not even have the simplest of necessities that a baby needed. There were also diapers to think about and wipes. She was batting a thousand with this latest debacle. Her life was still continuing to spiral out of control. And who did she have to thank?
Bette sighed softly as she tried to get baby girl to drink from a straw. She knew very well who she had to thank for her life being so far out of control. The moment that she let some kind of physical attraction get the better of her, that was when she let her own life get so out of hand. Had she done the right thing and said no to the feelings that she had toward Candace then perhaps things would not have turned out the way that she had forced them to.
Or was she blaming everything on herself? Was it fair that everything that had gone wrong in their relationship had fallen solely on her shoulders? The fact that she had cheated and kept it from Tina was the greatest of sins; she was not going to argue that with anyone. But after they had gotten back together, Tina had also hidden things. She had turned her away when the young art lover had needed her the most.
Sighing, she wiped away a bit of ketchup that had found its way onto Angelica's favorite shirt. She would have to find some way of getting that stain out. It would be difficult she knew. And of course, even if she couldn't it wouldn't be long and the little one would have outgrown it anyways. That seemed to be how things were these days. Everyone was outgrowing everyone else.
Shane had left Carmen at the altar. It wasn't that long ago that Dana had left Alice. Kit had realized that her relationship with Benjamin could lead nowhere since she did not want to be the one that caused his marriage to end. It was as if there was not a relationship out there that could stand the test of time not even those that seemed to be destined together.
That may sound selfish and self serving but she had thought since the moment that she and Tina had gotten together that they were one of the lucky destined ones. Perhaps she was wrong as she kept finding herself being over the past few months. Their relationship had been everything to her and she had found a way to mess it up and in a big way.
This was the path that she must follow so that she could perhaps make up for what had been done. It was selfish and possibly not right to want it but the one thing that she wanted more than anything in her life was Tina back. But what path would that take for her to find the arms that she so wanted surrounding her? And would it last forever as she had originally conceived? Only time would tell if anything she had thought before was really for real.
