    Author Notes:

    What is in that second envelope?

    Bette reached out and pulled Tina into her arms, letting their lips join for the softest, sweetest kiss…

    Then she moved her mouth over and nibbled on Tina’s ear. “Good…now, open the second envelope, Baby.”

    Tina let out a soft gasp. With all the excitement about the trip to New York, along with Bette’s revelation about her…or their, financial freedom, she had totally forgotten about the second envelope. “Baby…you’ve already done enough…really.”

    Bette just laughed at her ***** partner, knowing that Tina couldn’t wait to see what was in the envelope, no matter how practical she tried to sound. “Ok…well…” She reached over and gently started to take the envelope from Tina. “If you don’t want anymore presents, then…”

    Tina subtly tightened her hold on the envelope, not allowing Bette to take it from her. “I didn’t mean that, Baby…,” she said demurely. “I just meant that you have already given us all so much. It doesn’t seem fair that…”

    Bette interrupted her. “Tina, don’t even go there. This is not about who has more money to spend…what I can buy that you can’t. This is about you, me, and our family, and being able to enjoy what WE have. Besides, I didn’t spend any money on Alex’s and Dani’s presents. Those were both things that were given to me.” She reached out and gave Tina a kiss that left no doubt as to whether Tina should accept this second gift, or not. “Ok?”

    Tina took a deep breath, as she tried to quiet her now racing heart, after just experiencing her lips being devoured by the painfully gorgeous woman kneeling next to her. “Ok.”

    Bette sat back on her heels, looking satisfied. “Ok then…will you please just open the envelope?”

    Tina’s eyes started to sparkle with anticipation, as a slow grin made it’s way across her face. She opened the envelope and took out the single piece of paper inside. Unfolding it, she started to read…and then let out a squeal so loud, that it brought everyone running out of their rooms to see what had inspired their mother’s enthusiastic outburst. They stood at the top of the stairs looking down into the livingroom for a moment, before Dan and Kathy quietly ushered them back to their rooms, knowing the two women were going to need some privacy.

    Tina and Bette had been sitting on the floor. However after perusing the sheet of paper, it only took Tina a second to launch herself into Bette’s arms, knocking her onto her back, with Tina landing on top on her. “Oh my God Bette!! I can’t believe this!! Paris…St. Barths?!! She leaned down and locked her lips onto Bette’s so tightly, that for a quick moment, Bette thought she was going to have to push Tina away from her in order to breath. But, before she could respond, Tina was sitting back up, grabbing onto the paper with both hands, wanting to make sure she read it right.

    Sure enough..she was reading an itinerary for a two week vacation that was to start the day the kids were flying back to Seattle. As the children were flying west, they were going to be making their way east to the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, where they would then spend a week at the Hotel San Regis in Paris…then fly to St. Maarten with a connection to St. Barths, where they would spend another week lounging in pure luxury, also known as the Hotel Le Toiny.

    Tina was overwhelmed for more reasons than one. And, as her tears made their way down her cheeks, she couldn’t believe how incredibly thoughtful Bette was. How sensitive she was in giving them an opportunity to bring the best parts of their past, to come live with the best parts of their present and future. Bette was taking them away…taking them to a place where they will have a chance to relive who they once were, and where they can rejoice in who they have both become…places that they truly believed were made just for them. Bette had arranged for she and Tina to travel the same path they had visited during their two week celebration of their commitment ceremony…a ceremony that would be marking its twenty year anniversary in approximately two weeks. Back then, they had spent a week all bundled up, strolling the avenues of Paris, enjoying quiet dinners, and hushed, intimate lovemaking under warm and feathery comforters. Then they spent the next week thawing out on the beaches of St. Barths, and in their delicious suite at the Hotel Le Toiny…enjoying lite dinners, and loud, passionate lovemaking, with no need for blankets or sheets…their bodies glistening with their own sweat.

    Tina sighed, as she remembered that the heat from the Caribbean sun was not a necessary element for them to revive their blood flow, that had slowed to a crawl after the chilly, but romantic week in Paris.

    Bette knew by the look on Tina’s face, by her unabashed tears, that she also remembered, that for as much as the ceremony itself was an incredible affirmation of their love for each other, their two weeks away had solidified their future for both women…leaving not even a minuscule amount of doubt or fear about what they had to look forward to.

    If only they could have…….no, Bette wasn’t going to start living in the land of ‘if onlys’ again. There is no happiness there, only regret.

    Tina dropped her hands to her lap, still holding on to the one piece of paper, that represented an opportunity for them to reconnect in every way as a couple. An opportunity for them to be just that…a couple madly in love…not a mother, or a business owner…but Bette and Tina, celebrating their love for each other…their commitment to each other. “Bette,” she whispered. “I can’t believe you arranged all of this…that you thought of this.”

    Bette smiled through her tears, comforted in the knowledge that her beautiful Tina still shared the same memories of their vacation as she. A vacation that had truly been a dream come true. She turned her head just enough to make sure that they were out of earshot of Dan, not wanting to hurt his feelings, then turning back she reached out and laid both of her palms on Tina’s cheeks, wiping her tears away with her thumbs…and whispered…

    “Happy anniversary, T.”

    30. Wow, this story is really amazing. I absolutely love it! I have been reading on this page for a while, but never left a note/comment! Time to make a change! So this will be my first one, sorry if it gets a little bit longer!
      Since I am from Germany, and actually don’t know the Show “The L Word” (it’s not yet out here, but I hope it will be soon), its sometimes a little bit confusing and weird to read all the stories and about the characters (unknown to me). However I am catching up on some “real” facts (the ones not made up by the author of the fanfics) and can’t wait to see the actual Show. A friend of mine, who is visiting the states for the holidays will buy me the DVD of the 1 season, as I said I really can’t wait to see it! Really, really looking forward to that!! Well I actually don’t remember how I found out about “The L Word” in the first place or this web page, however I am really glad I did and I thank the Internet for this possibility! :-) Ok, I am starting to babble. I just wanted to thank all the writers for the great stories, you are all doing an awesome job! Keep it up!! Thanx again to you seahurst for this special one! Hope to read more about the reunion of B&T in the nearest future.
      Hope I didn’t make to many mistakes, English is not my first language! If I did, still hope you don’t mind and will be able to understand my writing.
