At the beach house- early Friday evening – the first anniversary of their living together–full time
“Happy anniversary,” said Bette as she gave Tina her gift. She opened the box and saw a pair of beautiful earrings. “They have little arrows on them–for Cupid.”
“Oh, baby, they’re beautiful. I love them.” She leaned forward and kissed Bette lovingly.
“They’re to replace the ones you lost.” Bette took Tina’s hand
“I know. I never could hang on to those earrings,” Tina smiled remembering the night at the gallery they first met and Bette had put her earring back on.
“But I am really sorry that I lost them.”
“It’s OK, T. We’ll just start a new tradition with these earrings.” soothed Bette as she leaned forward to kiss Tina. As she began to deepen the kiss, Tina pulled back.
“I have something for you, baby. Stay here.”
Tina went back to her suitcase in the bedroom and emerged with a small flat box. She sat down and handed it to Bette who shook it as she grinned at Tina.
“Pretty light.”
“Open it,” said Tina smiling in anticipation and not taking her eyes off Bette’s face.
Bette lifted off the lid, parted the white tissue and saw a photograph–upside down.
“Is this a nude photograph of you?” Bette said with a hopeful grin.
“No, but it might be a nude photograph of a USC cheerleader,” Tina teased.
Bette smiled seriously at Tina. “I have only one cheerleader I want to see naked,” referring to the fact that Tina had been a high school cheerleader.
“Turn it over,” Tina instructed. And Bette did.
Then she looked up at Tina.
“Really?”
“It was delivered to your office this afternoon after you left. Carolyn stayed to receive it.”
“Baby, I love it.”
The color photo was of a beautiful mahogany desk, clean lines, gorgeous.
“Maybe we should drive back now so I can see it,” Bette teased.
“I don’t think so,” responded Tina with mock sternness.
This weekend was the one-year anniversary of the night that Bette had asked Tina to move in– full time. They considered it probably the most important of all their anniversaries because Bette had taken what was, for her, a giant leap toward commitment.

I love this,all the little thing rolled in to one big ball.I believe it called love. To love like that is so wonderful. Hey you must live in the FW/dadas area. Been here since 47 and was born in Dallas near Fair Park. Watch Texas and Baylor now Armyand AF Still have A&M and the Miami and Virginia ……tech. will be fliping channels tonight. Love this thanks
Pancha that was beautifully done. The earring engagement rings were a lovely touch as well and Tina’s picture was a great touch also. It showed the love they have for each other and also what their relationship means to each of them. Tina the homemaker, nurturer, grounded person, Bette the artist, etc. Thanks for this chapter. Loved it.
I AM UNBELIEVEABLY FLOATIN RIGHT NOW. THE WAY YOU MADE THESE PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZIN. OMG!!!! THAT WAS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL IT WAS PROFOUNDLY, SUPERB. I DON’T USE THOSE WORDS OFTEN BUT THAT’S ALL THAT POPS IN MYHEAD RIGHT NOW, NEXT TO DAMN!!!!PLEASE POST SOON. PEACE.
yup right there with kookymook…This chapter is more serious than your other chapters, but I love it! They are getting married hurray! Oh and btw did tina still up bette with the purchased photo?? Shes still the grand winner huh?
Awwwww! The proposal was a nice surprise. I had wondered how Tina lost her earrings but after she realized they were part of the rings, I wanted to slap my head and say, “DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I totally didn’t see that coming.
this was beautiful, but the PS. bothers me, it means tina was thinking about marriage 5 months prior to proposal and even if bette proposed first and surprised tina, it’s could affect them, i hope not though, bette needs that little victory….it was beautiful chapter, and nice touch with the earrings
Wow, those miracle earrings… Call it fate… After reading your story, I want to have my pink shell walk with me on the beach. So peaceful and so happy.
Well, it’s a good thing Bette doesn’t know that about the photograph….otherwise, it’s another ditto moment for her! Great story, I like your definition of love.
So beautiful and lovely, love it. The earrings turn into the rings it beautiful and wonderful surprise proposal. Post soon please, thanks!

That was so romantic really beautiful nice to see Bette getting in there first…. thanks ill now go to bed with a smile on my face and for the first time not because of an NC17 lol…
Pancha,Wonderful and heartfelt. Awesome and inspiring.The way in which Tina has been there, constant in her love for Bette, has been rewarded by Bette’s leap into life.Bette has always taken the initiative in her professional but never in her emotional life and this makes this last chapter all the more delightful.You have filled me with a warm and fuzzy glow as everything seems alright with the world now. The sun is shining just that little bit brighter.This is down to you and your wondrous writing. You encapsulate all of the emotions that these characters are experiencing and make them real to me.Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with me.Your Loyal Fan.PS – S3 was still a great read.
Tina is prescient, as always! I love this fanfic! But I’m WAY down the list of your admirers. Why couldn’t I be first to say it this time? Clever! Wonderful! – And a whole bunch of other accolades! Thank you for continuing this story. It warms my heart to see Bette so in love.
“Jurgenson and Vermeil–that’s going back. But the Porters did live under a rock as far as sports went.” Well, Pancha, Bette’s what – 42 now? (JB’s age) and Melvin would be older than dirt. I think they would have been around Philly during the great Vermeil teams. And everybody knows Dr. J. Come on! People came out from under rocks to watch him dunk in the 70’s and 80’s! Bette would have been of age to attend games! What kind of black folks are these? Don’t know Dr. J?????????
I had a feeling Bette was going to ask Tina to marry her.Loving this story as usual.
you make me smile when the last line came in.It would forever be a secret to “ditto” bette! hee~ sweet and loving.
Excellent chapter really enjoyed it!!!!
Perfect.
