    Author Notes:

    Bette the Great.


    Shane McCutcheon and Lara Perkins were having a late dinner of delivered Thai food, idly exchanging commentary on the reason they were in their friend’s house, why they were watching some bad now-canceled-but-somehow-syndicated sitcom, and why on earth their Alcohol Watch duty was more welcome than the pursuit of a social life when Bette Porter emerged from her bedroom, and instantly made a beeline for what was becoming her favorite place in the house: the liquor cabinet.

    "Bette," Shane called out. "You want dinner? We have Thai."

    Bette glanced at the two of them, seated on her living room couch. "It’s late."

    "We thought you might like some company," Shane reasoned.

    "Whatever." Bette muttered, then saw the fruit basket. "Where’d that come from?"

    "Alice brought them for you," Lara informed her.

    "Her concern kills me," Bette said sarcastically, before picking out a bottle of vodka. She was already wallowing in her misery anyway, why not drown her sorrows in some tasty beverages, right? She headed back to the direction of the bedroom. "And Tina’s the one who loves Thai food."

    With that, Bette went back to her room, slamming the door behind her.

    "Okay, I know I should’ve paid more attention to my Psych class," Lara blurted out. "But why is this so difficult?"

    "Because it’s Bette and Tina," Shane said simply, as if it explained it all. "Bette’s used to just being the solid support system, and Tina be the one who openly shows her emotions. With Tina gone Bette has to be the one to let those feelings go, and if and when she breaks down, it’ll be worse than any of us expects."

    Lara sighed. "I can’t believe their fight could be that horrible."

    "When the love’s that deep? You’re gonna have to dig deeper to bring out that pain and anger."

    Lara took that in, and grinned as she turned back to her stir-fry chicken noodle dish.

    Shane noticed the smile. "What?"

    "You really are Yoda, aren’t you?"

    "With all this drama, somebody’s got to be." Shane grinned back. "So, what’s the deal with you and Dana?"

    "That depends," Lara smiled at her. "What’s the deal with you and Carmen?"

    4. How do you make such sad content seem so very beautiful? Thank you so much for this chapter and a wonderful story. I hope this new Bette and Tina can make it through.

    6. Aww..that was so fvcking intense and sweet…im so glad Tina came back..poor Bette I wonder if she will open up even more to Tina.. Keep up the awesome story! Waiting for your next chapter ;)

    8. That was so sad but great that Tina has come back. Bette is letting all her fears come out now.
      This was not rough whatsoever. Please continue this.

    9. Perceptive of Tina to recognise that her forgiving Bette is not Bette forgiving herself – and it’s not just the crack about loosing the baby. I don’t know if Bette will ever forgive herself. In reality somebody like Bette probably never could. Still this is fiction so maybe you can get Tina to work on her a bit;-)

    10. OMG T I love you to death for this one. It hits so close to home with my father. It just knocked the breath out of me. If and when she breaks down, it’ll be worse than any of us expects.

      Tina smiled lovingly. “Sometimes they come back.”

      “Her sobs wracked her body, and she was just too weak to fight it. “They’re gone. They’re really gone. Daddy. Our little boy.”
      Forgive me if I copy. I have a broken elbow/arm from falling off the house. Don’t ask…

    13. OMG that was the sadness chapter ever…but i LOVE IT…you never stop to surprise me i´m so glad Tina came back..Bette was about to do something that maybe was no returne…post real real soooonn;-)

    27. Wow! You’ve done it again…Just blew me away! I’m so glad that Tina came and forgave her, and that Bette was able to be so open and broken, it’s the first step towards healing. Now with be looking for the hot monkey lovin’!
