The Journey 17
Tina : “tell me about your idea of family Bette”
I thought about the question Tina had just put to me and the irony of asking me today. When we should be celebrating us, the beginning of our life together, we are trying to work out if we have any chance of saving our family. No one has said it but Tina would not be here if she felt nothing. It seemed to take me forever to answer. I tried to clear my head from the two beers I’d had. There were times I had thought Tina and I were over but answer this wrong and I was certain there would be no more chances. I didn’t realize I’d had my eyes closed. I opened them and looked up to the sky, saying a silent prayer. Tina patiently waits and watches me.
Bette : I cleared my throat. I looked at Tina, swallowed and begun. “Tina, I hope I have made it clear to you I consider
Tina : I listened to what Bette said and believed with all my heart what she said was the truth but I needed to say it, “Bette, you once promised me you would not let me down” I say it in a way that lets Bette know I am serious but not angry with her, sternly but quietly. I am determined there will be no yelling or sniping tonight. I watch her intently for a reaction, Bette’s body language always said so much more than her words. The candle flickered in the ever so slight breeze, I could smell Bette, see the light on her face. Come on Bette, I willed her, so close but so far, the beer bottles sit on the table, the pizza in it’s box, yet somehow it seemed perfect.
Bette : “Yes, I did Tina. I promised you I would never let you down, 9 years ago today. I did let you down.” I concede, after all what Tina said is true, I look at her as I say it, as she asked but then hang my head.

“Welcome home Bette. Happy anniversary”
Your Tina is very sweet!
I’m gonna cry. That was so sweet. I am so hoping they start spending more and more time together and keep talking and keep the little spurts of whats still there moving forward. Looking forward to more.
Gawd dayum heart wrenching – grrrrrr. Keep up the wonderful writing no matter how painful.
This chapter touched my HEART as well, but it seemed like it was over real quick! 11pm already?
where Bette need to say that she wants Tina as the person she loves not just because of Laurel..another great chapter post soon thanks
Cute, very cute both your story and the hint of monumental in the tekst:-0 Went back to your previous post and saw your reaction to my post.
Self reflection is really great, we all should do it more often. But I meant her feelings towards Tina and the way she expresses them. Like you wrote in your story I would love if she holds and maintains eye contact with Tina something of the Bette of old that makes her so attractive. And I know she’s hurting, guitly and considers herself a major fuck up but there has to be something left of that passionate Bette.
Perfect example, although really crazy, when she convinced Tina to have the threesome in season 1. Her speech was so passionate that I wanted to have sex with the guy. I hope you get where I’m coming from I know this is your story and you can have her waring diapers if you want to. Believe me I’ll still read it even though I would probably faint from laughter…I can’t possibly however compliment you enough awesome writing.
heya splippery, yeah, look I couldn’t agree more, Bette’s strength and passion is what makes her attractive (apart from the obvious !). I think Tina asking her to maintain eye contact is a hint she doesn’t want to the Bette she knew disappear completely (atleast in this story). Bette in diapers is not something I’d thought about !! LOL. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I for one hope in season 3 Bette is back with avengence ! UB
This story is refreshing since all the other stories want to reflect supposed spoilers where Tina is a royal Bit@$ to Bette. Forgive Forget or move on.
i love sweet tina!! yay!!! lol soo awesome!!
i loooove this story i guess theyll be drama soon though huh always come love it but it kill sme lol well please post soon thanx byeness<33897123589237
Happy Anniversary to you Tina. Both remembered that special day.. thanks
The eyes have a peculiar way of answering questions that have not yet been asked…failure to make eye contact gives one the freedom to speculate…maybe they are windows to the soul…Nice chapter.
god..I hope that start working things out..very nice and sweet chapter
LOVE IT….THANKS
this was very heartfelt from both of them. im enjoying how you are writing this. and NO diapers, unless they are designer. lol. slipperlynipple too funny. like the looking in the eyes. i dont think were gonna see much of the bette s1 in s3. JMHO. but well see. thanks sweetie.
