    Author Notes:

    The final chapter…

    Still smiling as she watched Paul careen up the stairs, Bette turned to Dan and Kathy. Okay, so what did you two want to talk about?

    Well… Dan started. Theres two things really…

    Before Dan could continue, Tina interrupted. Dan, is this something that the four of us need to talk about alone? She cocked her head in Alexs direction, because after being married to him for so many years, Tina could tell he was nervous about something.

    She was right, Dan was nervous, and had forgotten that Alex was still there. Right…

    His hesitation was Tinas signal. She looked at Alex and winked at her, coupling it with a grin. How bout you go upstairs for a bit. Maybe we can continue reading a little later…Okay?

    Okay… Alex hopped off the bed, and started walking towards the stairs, but she stopped when she got to Bette. She looked up at her and asked, Could I go with you and Paul to look at new cars?

    Bette was surprised, but very pleased. Sure honey. I didnt know you were interested in cars?

    Alex put her hand on her hip, and slowly shook her head at Bette. Ya know MaBe, not just boys like cars…girls do too. Tina and Bette looked at each other, both suppressing a laugh…both thinking back to all those years earlier when Bettes love for her Saab provided much fodder for the constant teasing she received from their friends.
    You are absolutely right, Alex…and I would love to have you join us. Besides, Im going to need another feminine perspective. Alex stared at her with a blank look on her face. Bette leaned down, kissing her on the forehead. Another girls point of view, she whispered.

    Alexs cheeks reddened with excitement, and she couldnt help the grin that was covering her face, reveling in the idea that the incredible woman in front of her, whom she had grown to love, would want her opinion on which car to buy. Farout! Alex squealed, as she turned and took off up the stairs.

    The four adults, Bette, Tina, Dan and Kathy, all shared a look. Oh God… Tina verbalize the groan they were all thinking. Please tell me THAT saying isnt coming back into style!

    Bette shrugged her shoulders as she joined Tina on the bed. Well, I suppose its better than groovy, or neat. Taking one of Tinas hands in her own, she leaned up against the headboard, while Dan and Kathy took a seat on the sofa. Well…?

    Dan took a deep breath, then thinking about the first part of their news, broke out in a prideful smile. Well…well start out with the good news, and that is, Kathys pregnant!

    Oh my God, you two…thats wonderful!! Bette jumped off the bed and was at the sofa in three strides, reaching out and hugging them both. Congratulations! You must be ecstatic!

    Dan couldnt help the joyful laugh from bubbling out of his throat, because in a word, they were ecstatic. They had been trying for over two years now, and with Kathy being 39, knew that if it didnt happen soon, they would have to seek help. They had both been delirious with glee, when Kathys pregnancy test had been positive two months earlier.

    Tinas eyes filled with tears at hearing the news. She was so happy for them both. She knew how much Dan adored Kathy…how much Kathy adored him. She was so happy that Kathy was going to have the opportunity to have a child, not just of her own, but that she could raise from infancy. She loved Kathy…loved how she was with her children.

    Kathy saw Tina looking at her with tears in her eyes, and a smile on her face. She walked over to the bed, and grasped on to the hand that Tina was holding out to her. Oh Kathy, Tina whispered. Im so happy for you. Kathy bent down and kissed Tinas good cheek. Thank you, she whispered back. I knew you would be.

    Kathy gave Tina a weak smile. I have to admit, that Im a little nervous about taking care of a baby.

    Tina squeezed her hand reassuringly. Youre already a wonderful mother. Youre going to be a natural at it…youll see.

    Kathy leaned down and kissed Tinas cheek again, blinking back her tears, overwhelmed that Tina would think she was a good mother to her children. Thank you, Tina. You know how much that means to me, coming from you.

    Dan also came over and leaned down, giving Tina a kiss on the cheek. She smiled up at him. Congratulations. Not knowing what else to say, Dan smiled and whispered, thank you.

    There was silence for a moment, as all four adults became lost in their own thoughts about the soon to be changes in the dynamics of this most interesting family they had all created. Then Bette, always the one to keep everyone on track, asked the question that Dan had forgotten about for a brief moment. So, whats the other announcement?

    Dan unconsciously reached over and grabbed hold of Kathys hand for reassurance. Well…I was laid off two weeks ago from Boeing.

    Oh Dan…

    No, wait. Dan interrupted Tina before she could say anything else. I know that youre going to say not to worry…to just wait it out like the last time. That they will hire me back like before. The only problem is, now with the baby coming, I dont want to wait. I need to have a job with insurance benefits as soon as possible, and waiting to get hired back, could take months.

    He stopped for a moment and ran his fingers through his hair, feeling Kathy squeeze his other hand, encouraging him to go on. So, anyway, I applied for a job with Raytheon…and yesterday found out that I got it.

    Raytheon? Tina furrowed her brow. I didnt know Raytheon had an plant in Seattle.

    Dan took a deep breath. Well, they dont. I would…we would, have to move.

    Oh God Dan…where to? Tina and Bette both stole a glance at one another, worried about where Dan was going to have to relocate to…and after everything that Bette had just gone through to get to Seattle.

    Los Angeles. They have a small plant there, that is need of computer programmers specializing in aviation design.

    Los Angeles? Tina looked at Bette with her eyebrows raised, the two women exchanging a look. Youre moving to LA?

    Yeah…I start in two weeks, so we are flying down this weekend to scope out the area, figure out where we want to live.

    Bette stood up from the side of the bed, where she had been sitting. Could you excuse me for a moment? She walked down the hall to the bathroom. Once inside, with the door firmly closed, she looked at herself in the mirror…and then covered her mouth to stifle the sound of her squeal, while she attempted her best Saturday Night Fever impression with her other arm. Dancing, dancing…yeah!!!

    Meanwhile, Dan was attempting to apologize to Tina for him moving away from the kids. Tina, I want you to know that we will come up here as much…

    Thats as far as he got before Tina started laughing, and held up her hand. She turned and looked down the hallway to see if Bette was coming, then turned back to Dan. You realize that she is in there doing her happy dance, dont you?

    Dan looked confused. Her happy dance?

    Yeah…the whole reason Bette is here is because I dont want the children to live away from you while they are growing up. They deserve to have both their parents close to them. She agrees, and moved here because I wouldnt leave Seattle. However, now that you are moving to LA, that opens up the discussion of us moving to LA, so you can still be close to the children…and LA is a city that Bette absolutely loves. So…I can promise you, that right this moment, she is in that bathroom doing her very poor rendition of John Travoltas Saturday Night Fever dance, which is what she does whenever she is really, really happy…her happy dance.

    At that moment they heard a loud crash coming from the bathroom, as Bette had accidently knocked over the liquid soap container in her zeal. Tina started laughing again, imagining Bette dancing around the bathroom. She turned her head toward the hallway again, and yelled, Hey John…dont break anything in there!


    ~ ~ ~

    (Three months later)



    Its beautiful isnt it?

    Hmmm…yes it is.

    Bette and Tina were sharing a lounge chair, Bette laying in the back, while Tina was in front, laying up against her. They were enjoying another beautiful sunset over the Pacific Ocean…watching from the patio of the huge beachfront house they had just moved into in Broadbeach.

    Bette took a sip of her wine. Im still amazed that Peggys daughter, Helena remembered her talking about me, even after all these years. And, what a coincidence that she was the owner of this house.

    I know, baby. You obviously made a huge impression on Peggy.

    Yeah? Bette laughed.

    Yeah…of course, I think you make a huge impression on everyone you come in contact with. Tina took Bettes hand that she had been holding, and brought it up to her mouth…kissing the palm. Helena is quite the trip, isnt she?

    Bette laughed again. Yes she is. Shes just like her mother…flamboyant, over the top, but full of passion for art. The Peabody Foundation always was, and still is from what I hear, very generous to the CAC, as well as many other museums.

    I cant believe that after all this time, we are back here…back where it all started. Tina turned enough so she could look into Bettes eyes. I love you, Bette.

    Hmmm…I love you too, baby. Bette nuzzled her nose into Tinas neck, right behind her ear.

    So…how are the plans coming along for the new gallery?

    Good. In fact I want to take you and the kids over to get your opinions on a building Im thinking of buying. I was thinking of using one half of the first floor for the LA branch of Kennter Galleries, and the other half for a quaint coffee shop/cafe…you know, with comfy sofas, and over stuffed arm chairs…things like that. Then, there are another five floors that I would like to turn into New York style artist lofts, and rent them out to artists. I just think that would create a very inviting, open community. What do you think?

    Tina turned to Bette and smiled. I think… She kissed her cheek. That it sounds wonderful… She leaned over, kissing her other cheek. And I think… She traced her lips down to her neck. That our teenage daughter is going to be after you to rent her one of those lofts as soon as she graduates from high school! She locked eyes with the only person she wanted to spend her life with, and slowly leaned in, kissing her soft, full lips with all the love, all the passion she felt swirling around in her, and still…after almost twenty-three years, felt her heart slam into her chest.

    Thats what I think.

    The kiss left Bette gasping for some much needed air, but she managed to whispered. So, does that mean youll go look at the building with me?

    Oh, baby… Tina lifted herself off the chair, then held out her hand to help Bette up. Come on, dance with me.

    Bette smiled and allowed Tina to pull her up. She wrapped her arm around her partners waist, and gently cradled their other hands against her chest, and began swaying back and forth. So, what song are we dancing to?

    Hmmm…you know which one. Tina looked lovingly into Bettes eyes. Sing it for me…please.

    Bette leaned down, and softly, slowly peppered Tinas face with kisses. Only for you…always for you.

    And after all they had been through, all the life and love they had experienced in the fifteen years they had been apart, truer words were never spoken, than the soft, loving words that now floated past Bettes lips…meant only for one person…Tina Kennard.

    Night and day you are the one
    Only you beneath the moon and sun
    Whether near me or far
    It’s no matter, darling, where you are
    I think of you
    Night and day
    Day and night….

    THE END




    Now you know why it took me so long to write this chapter. I just really didnt have the heart for it. Writing this story has been a huge part of my own self discovery, and really didnt want it to come to an end. However, it was time. I had written this ending months ago in my head…I just needed some extra time for my heart to catch up.

    I wanted to answer just a couple of questions that have been asked during these last nine months…good Lord, I have been writing this story for NINE months. No wonder its so hard to let go. Anyway, here are a couple answers…the rest, you will have to get from me personally. Quite a few of you wondered where I got the name Milaine. It is a combination of my first and middle names…Michelle Elaine. No, I dont live in the Northwest anymore. I moved to Tucson, AZ nine years ago…and will be moving to somewhere around LA in the next couple of months. I am single, and do not have children (and yes it still surprises me that I wrote a story with so many children in it!) And yes, some day…with A LOT more practice, I hope to write a romance novel…you know, the ***** Danielle Steele…and I dont care what Jenny from The L Word thinks of her! I love a good romance, whether it is considered by others to be literature, or just puff.

    I want to once again thank all of you who have been so kind and encouraging to me with your comments and emails. I know you hear it over and over again from other authors, but they really do mean a lot. There were times when I was losing interest in this story (I hate to admit that), and it was because of your notes, your wonderful stories that you shared with me, that spurred me on to write more. In fact, it is through this site that I have formed new friendships…created new confidants. I wont mention names other than to say thank you to, among others, Denver and Santa Barbara…Ok…I will mention one name. I have over the last year met a woman who is my polar opposite. We are as different as night and day. Just read our fan fiction stories to see just how different we are. Yet she has become one of my closest friends…someone whose friendship will last my lifetime. I am proud to call t6beach (or Beachie, as Chase calls her) my friend. And will forever be grateful to this site for bringing this wild child into my life. I would tell you her real name, but I know she would kick my ***** out of the state of Florida, if I did!

    So, thats it for me. I may write a stand alone chapter if it hits me in the head…I dont know yet if I will continue with the story Would you like to dance? If I do…it wont be for awhile. Until then, Ill see you on the discussion board, and I will most definitely be reading the other wonderful stories that are out there. Take care, and again…thank you!

    15. I hated to see ‘…the End’ on the title. But, I guess all good things must come to an end. You’ve taken us on a fantastically wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, and please do follow through on your endeavor to put your god given talents into a novel. Please post here, and let us know when you’ve done it. I for one, would be one of the first in line for my own copy. Michelle, all the best to you. Be well, and be happy.

    16. Seahurst,
      Wow, your amazing and truly wonderful story sadly had to come to an end. I just wanted you to know as someone who has followed this story from Chapter 1 that it was incredible. Your romantic storytelling abilities have been a great motivation for myself and I’m sure many others as well. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us and yes, after NINE months this is truly “your baby.” =P

    17. Okay, I totally cheated and read this last chapter. Hey, I do it with books too. ; ) Seahurst, this has been one of the best stories on the site, and I look forward to catching up on all that I have missed with the new season and all. Look forward to continuing the B and T debates on the board, and looking out for your future writing. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us.

    18. This is so sad…it feels like the end of an era. It was your story that kept me coming back back to this site for more. I have discovered so many wonderful people and the artisitc expression that I have found here has enriched my life. Like all of your other devoted fans I will be looking for that novel Michelle. It would be a shame to not share your talent with the rest of the world.

    21. Well, what can I say? This story has been a wonderful adventure as a reader and I wish it never had to end. But, alas, all good things eventually come to an end and that’s where hope for something new will come along. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I will always be a faithful fan.

    22. Wow Sea. I can’t believe this is the end. It’s been an incredibly engaging journey and I’m sad to see it end. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and I’ll be looking for your book. :)

    23. As glad as I am to see this chapter, I do feel sad at having this story come to an end. This has felt unique and special in the actual plot line of the story as well as the style. I loved it all the way through. Best of luck with your next endeavors and if you do end up publishing something, be sure to include your pseudonym Seahurst somewhere in the title / name so we who know you from here, will know it is you. Thanks for all your efforts here.

    24. seahurst, I would like to Thank you for the beautiful journey you took us on all these months, I am sorry to see you end it, but I can understand how it can consume your time, You are quite the writer, and on days that I have extra time, I look forward to reading your story from the beginning again. I so enjoyed it, Take Care and may you enjoy your life to the fullest

    25. I remember a time when Seahurst posted, automatically it became a good day. Thank you for placing my romantic heart on a string and taking it on your journey. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors.

    27. Thank you Seahurst, so much, for your wonderful and emotional storytelling over the past nine months. It was a lovely ending, and I’m a sucker for a good romance. I think it stands alone as a great story, an epic romance that has spanned decades. Maybe a sequel could seem pedestrian in comparison? Having said that, the occasional vignette, popping into the lives of the new family at various points in time would be heartwarming I think (I dunno, Paul gets his first girlfriend, Alex graduates, Bette starts to feel old so Tina takes them round their old LA haunts to recapture their youth but realise you’re only as old as you feel… I told you I dunno!) That’s why you write, and I don’t! Thanks again.

    28. Hey Seahurst this was the best story I actually started reading this site with you and MarieBrayant. I never thought that I could or would ever write anything but seeing your story and the consistance of your work intrigued me over the holidays. So with some time I tried and I can tell you I feel rewarded. Thanks for all your encouragement and IF I can ever do anything which will help you or even just bounce an idea off I’m there for you. JWetshtein@mindspring.com

    29. Even though I knew it was coming my heart did a flip flop when I saw you posted. Thank you for sharing your talent with us Michelle. I look forward to reading one of your novels one day. Until then I hope you find what you have given us through your stories;joy, happiness and love.

    30. Seahurst: What a treat it has been to of had the chance to read this endearing and sometimes heartfelt story.
      I wish you much success and love. Thanks so much sea.
      Carol.

    31. What a wonderful way to end this deeply romantic story. I could hear Ella singing while they danced. I will miss this Bette and Tina. Thanks for always warming my heart with your writing. LA sounds like an exciting place to be and I wish you good fortune and happiness there. I’ll look forward to seeing your name here on the site from time to time and I know I’ll enjoy whatever you share with us. Happy trails!

    32. One warm Sunday afternoon I logged on to this site and discovered fan fic. You were many chapters into this story and after reading one I went back to the start and read everyone up til that point. I’ve been since that warm sunny afternoon. You talent, warmth and heart kept me company and made me laugh and smile. Write us a little something from time time.. See you soon ;)

      Love,
      T.

I am honored to have you in my life, M, and proud to call you a friend. Your story and HERS hooked me, abosutely drew me in and addicted me to fan fiction all those months ago. And because of you, I too, have met so many wonderful people and experienced a lifetime of fun and fulfillment writing about everything L. You are the Queen of Mush, no doubt. . . and if you have trouble writing the porn-like sex scenes in your great American Lesbian Novel, just give me or Chase a call !! Love ya Sea, you done good.

    46. Say it ain’t so :-( Great final to this story.

      Thanks Sea for this wonderful series. I’ve been reading since your first story. I truly hope to read more from you. Take care.

    47. Sea – thanks so much – this has been my very favorite story and I look forward to more from you when you feel the inclination. Thankyou thankyou
      thank you

    48. well Sea- i don’t know what to say. i kinda agree with Olives though in that it’s not fair that you quit before me. strangely enough, i was just thinking this afternoon when i was in the car, when it was going to be time to pull the plug…

      anyway, you have been a mainstay on this site and a voice that will be missed. even though it may be a while, please know that there are lotsa folks who will be waiting for your return.

      thanks again!

    49. If it’s meant to be….we’ll be blessed by another story from you. As with the others, I have thoroughly enjoyed this story. Your writing, your perspective on Bette and Tina and the story you told is simply…beautiful. Thank you for the privilege of reading your tale.

    50. I was putting off reading this chapter because I didn’t want to admit the story to actually ending. But who was I kidding, just HAD to know, plain and simple.
      I hope you the best in the coming months with the move and also hope your aspirations to be a romance novelist become a reality in due time. Loved your stories and the care you put behind each character. You will be missed!

    53. Thank you, Sea, for a wonderful journey. As I knew you would, you gave us an ending that we can live with. Where ever your travels take you, I pray that what you are looking for is there. Take care of you. God Bless…

      CJ

    54. don’t really know what to say, i certainly understand why you are ending this, it surely will be missed…i was looking forward to their experiences as the children

    55. my favorite all time story and it will truly be missed. thank you for all your dedication to this site, even in the midst of your personal problems. i have enjoyed the journey and am looking forward to more from you and let us know when you write your first novel

    56. well,… its been a long time, following tina, bette, milaine, the kids… long time to learn a few things about you as for example that you are a good writer, and that you’ll be if you try better than Danielle Steele…
      I’m gonna miss you, and I’m gonna miss your stories,… but congratulations,…
      From Spain, really really far away, all my best wishes, considering the fact that I have no time to visit the board… but I still will be looking forward “would you like to dace?”

      take care…

      kay

    57. Seahurst, that was a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. And, to top it off, that is one of my favorite songs too! Night & Day sort of dates me, but it’s a great old song! Thank you for including it! Please drop in again and let us read more…good luck to you and all you adventures! Peace.

    58. I’m a latecomer to this site, but I put in the time to read your story and loved every minute of it. Thank you for your contribution to the world of diehard romantics. Good luck with your move!

    59. Wow! Such an outstanding story. I read the whole lot over 2 days and am now going to suffer the consequences of slacking so much on my work – oh well *shrugs*. Maybe I should go to some sort of fanfic addicts rehab centre! I love the way you have got the characters spot on and that your whole story is utterly believable – yet still able to make me go unbelievably mushy inside! It was such a pleasure to read I even found myself sighing “I think I love you Seahurst” from time to time while I waited impatiently for the next page to load. Okay so I’m gushing, but it’s true! Keep writing, I can’t wait to read your other stories. Thanks so much.

    60. Wow, what an amazing story. It was a pure joy to read Seahurst! It’s crazy to think that you finshed this almost 4 years ago! I’m already looking forward to reading your new “revisited” installment. Well done!!!

    61. Yesterday when I read you were going to stop writing for some time, I wanted to come over and smack you around a little instead of commenting. Today I still feel the same…BUT…I guess you will scratch yourself anyway if it starts to itch – the writing-itch that is Mich!! I just hope that the itching starts soon…
      So for now, thanks for this beautiful story!!
      – Oh and say Hi to your mom from our mutual friend – seems that she knows both our moms (yours MUCH better though!!), small world isn’t it?!

    62. *sniff* *sniff* There are many great authors on this site; many of whom have already commented here. You are truly a gift to many here, including those readers who don’t comment (I used to be one of them – I’m very shy). This site has grown with the love of all the authors and readers for L Word. What a gift!

      I wish you well and though I don’t know you, I feel a great sense of loss.

      If you’re ever in Hawaii, please give a shout out. We have Belgian Waffles too!

    63. Hey Sea…. You’ve been on my top 10 lists since the very first time I started tuning in to the fan fiction section of this wonderful L word community. I never said much maybe perhaps leave a comment or two but man! Your words are so beautiful often it gives me goose bumps I remember getting misty eyed too with this story of yours. I love this story … I am in awe of your literary talent… I am humbled with your eloquence as you nail the subject on hand one after another each time you make your presence when you voice your thoughts or views in the forum board. THANK YOU for sharing “If It’s Meant To Be” with us! Seahurst you are one mighty fine writer. Selfishly speaking… on my part I’d say you simply cannot hope to disappear and not have the fans let you off just like that … you just can’t man! You just have to come back and write some more… PERIOD!

    64. Seahurst, I have enjoyed your stories and it has been great. MAN, 9 months eh? Can’t believe it either. But the journey has been enjoyable, since the start, your chapters have always been one of the ones that I look forward to. Thank you for your time, for sharing your self with us and for the encouraging words as well.

    67. First congrads on being and award winner…there is no doubt you are one of the best writers on this borad and I hope your dream comes true I would love to read your romance novel I love Daniel Steele. Second I wanted to thank you for this story it gives me hope that there is a future for us older single folks…Thank you again for taking the time for us and I hope you will continue to write.

    69. wow. that was brilliant as always. has it been that long? nine months…and i’ve been with this from the beginning!! wow! how time flies! i wish you all the best. and thank you for everything. what a journey!

    70. From the beginning to the end it has been a pleasure reading each chapter. Seems like the nine months just flew by, at least in my opinion :) This series has been one of my favorites and I’m sad to see it end, but what a great ending you gave it. Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to write this series. If ever you decide to write another story, I will definitely be there to read it. Good Luck with all your future plans, Seahurst.

    71. Loved this story!!Read it from start to finish in 2 sittings. Wishing you all the best with this journey you are on!! Hope to read more of your stories soon!!

    72. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story with us Sea! You are a brilliant writer. I’m always left with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside after reading one of your chapters. They are filled with so much love and hope;truly inspirational! BTW, I love Danielle Steele novels and I would absolutely buy anything that you wrote. Just something to ponder…

    73. Sea, my thoughts echo those of the previous posters. I have enjoyed the journey and as sad as I am to see this story end I think you ended perfectly. What could be sweeter than a dance? Good luck to you in all you pursue! I will look forward to future stories should you be so inspired. Thank you!

    75. Sea I’m so sad that your story has ended. I have enjoyed your brilliant writing and story from the begining to the end, I can’t believe it’s been 9 months! I hope you come back soon with something new to draw us in. You can use Bette and Tina a bit longer and practice here for that romance novel you’ll write one day :) Until then I hope life treats you well and I look foreward to reading anything you write.

    76. Sea, you are truly one of my favorite authors on this site. My heart jumps every time I see that you’ve posted because I know that I’m in for another beautiful chapter of my favorite couple. You’ve always stayed true to Bette and Tina and their relationship, the way that I myself envision them, and the way that they should be. Thank you for filling these last nine months of my life with laughter, tears, and over all, happiness. Oftentimes your story would be the last I read for the day, right before I went to bed, so I went off to sleep with a smile on my face and happy thoughts of B&T on my mind. I owe hours worth of smiles to you. I will really miss your work. Thank you so much for sharing your vision and talent with us. Good luck with your move to LA and everything else in your future. Also, please let us know when your novel comes out!! See you around the board. And for one final time because it can’t be said enough, thank you.

    78. Fantastic Story. I loved this story as soon as I began reading it. I became very addicted to it. I’ll miss your writing if you don’t post again. Keep writing because I will be looking for a novel from you. Again, awesome writing.
