After loving you – c 9
After loving you chapter 9 Can all the king’s horses and all the king’s men Tina ————————————————————————————————— FM: Tina Kennard TO: Bette Porter RE: New job I have gone back to work at Alphaville and their insurance program will cover Angie and me. I can also support myself financially. ————————————————————————————————– FM: Bette Porte TO: Tina Kennard SUBJECT: New job Congratulations on your new job. Let me know exactly when your coverage begins and I will cancel the other insurance. In addition, inform me when you need support only for Angie. ………………………………………………………….. Working full time kept her away from Angie, but she wanted to be financially independent with a salary and with insurance that covered hers and the baby’s medical needs. Tina had hired a woman as a full time nurse. And Tina had quality time with Angie at night and on the weekends when she wasn’t with Bette. While she had still been at the Center, she continued to ride to work with Robert who seemed to change once he knew that Bette was gone. “Could you baby sit Mari tonight?” he had once asked her. When he came to pick up his daughter, up he made not-to-subtle references to how two girls were not much harder to look after than one girl. When they went on their first date, dinner and dancing, she grew more wary. “I’m looking at a bigger house with a bigger kitchen and laundry room,” he smiled at her. “What do you think about a big family?” Tina felt an eerie flashback to her earlier dating days…those days when she knew right away when the guy was looking for a wife and there she was…Wife Material. These guys were on the “wife prowl.” She was good-looking, the right age, and looked healthy for child-bearing. It had made her nervous then and it made her nervous now. When they went dancing, he continued with talk about how great it would be to combine their families. She knew he was basically kind and sincere, but not too subtle. When they danced she knew there was something else missing. She felt nothing when they danced. Robert wasn’t a very good dancer, his hands were moist and the cologne, that she had once liked, now seemed overwhelming and annoying. She pleaded a headache and had him take her home.

This story makes me sad in many ways, but I must admit that Leigh would have been my choice for a post-Tina Bette–at least out of all the characters previously on the show. Looking forward to an update.
well, now tina know what she wants, maybe it’s time for her to talk to bette…s3 is looking more and more gloomy
I love this story…it’s a little sad but I want more, always more!!! please? nice job pancha, waiting for the next chapter :)
your killing me … so by what you said… there’s no way you are going to get them back together… and thats a shame
Pancha, thanks for the answer to my question. I guess I am looking forward to just watching the new season, As I said, If they do it on the show , like your story, I think we will be in for a treat. Your best chapter was when Bette let Tina have it with both barrels about an open relationship, I think like on the show Tina has many hurts & insecurities to get over, But I do believe she loves bette on the show & in your story. We will see right?
Tina is getting what she’s been looking for. But I feel so bad about her I can’t hate Tina at all… I think Bette is right, despite she can’t move on yet.I’m loving this post… Post soon!!
Tinas really in a kind of limbo… and i do feel soeey for her so it was a nice touch that the girls went over to her at the Planet..you can see where very slowly she will get back into the pack and thats thanks to Bette being the bigger person in this chapter…So Leigh is starting to fall in love!!!and who can blame her!!! do i smell more heartache? WELL at least make it worth the ride! coz some heartache is worth it.
I am so glad Tina got to see Bette with Leigh. I so want Bette and Leigh to be Happy!!!! I will always be a Bette and Tina FAN but Tina and Bette need to be a part for sometime and see what life is like with out each other and if they can be HAPPY WITH OUT THE OTHER. I so love this story!!!!! MORE SOON PLEASE
I really liked this chapter didn’t want it to end.
This story is heartbreaking…but your writing of it is so…classy, and graceful, that I can’t wait for the next chapter to appear. Thank you. You are really putting your heart into it, and it shows.
I’m not so romantic as someone who could come up with the idea of pink shell. lol… The feeling Bette’s holding to Leigh is more like… good friend instead of girlfriend. It’d be weird if they have sex. It’s like Shane being a tennis player and having sex with Dana. So I think Tina should figure things out quickly besides feeling jealous so that she and Bette could begin to solve their problems together and get back to each other soon.
Great chapter, at least Bette offered Tina aseat at their table. That was nice. Please post soon
I kinda of feel sorry for Tina but she brought this on herself. Had she just be honest and done more self reflection things might have been different. I like that Bette is moving forward and Leigh is a nice person…but I still don’t beleive they have chemistry. It seems like your story will be coming to an end soon!!!
This story is sad, of course, but you have such an intelligent way of having the characters go through their problems/doubts/feelings that makes me want to read more and more…and more! :) It is lovely.
As always Pancha a wonderful chapter,Its good to see Bette taking things slow with Liegh and exploying her true feeling and what can I say about Tina she really needs some professional help…please post soon
very interesting – they are working their way through their feelings while away from one another – are you moving them toward more self understanding?? Bette seems more aware they Tina – what is it that is making Tina so dense? Like how you moving the story along.
Please make them start to communicate and realise they belong together
After that miami article today, I totally gave up on Bette and Tina.. I’m happy that Bette is kinda moving on but i wish it wasn’t Leigh.. I think she’s beautiful and everything but I just don’t see her with Bette.. now I’m kinda liking Lastkid’s Courtney.. LOL.. Yes Tina needs her friends and I’m glad that she’s aware of the fact that she brought all this to herself..
Tina cant leave the bettster… hee hee… I think Bette is doing good, taking things slow with Leigh, I mean 8 years together with someone doesnt just disappear overnight, they will still have that feeling, that attachment, that need… Its like remember the exact way your love does something for you and you base every judgement off of how they did it when someone else does the same thing.
I don’t think that Bette can take her situation w/Leigh to the next level. Leigh seems to be the shoulder to cry on. Bette is still too emotionally involved w/Tina. Here’s the link to the Miami Herald article that Fa6Fa6 spoke of. It’s depressing.http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/entertainment/13571641.htm
Yes, it`s me, I`m still here….As painfll as it is this history, I have to admit that it`s an excellent history. And, in fact, it`s been helpfull to prepare my self for season 3. I`m still in pain, but, i can`t stay away from your writting.

bette and tina are still in love but itsgoing to be hard for them to get back to each other because tina wanted a openrelationship.never ask what u really want because the other person will give it to u and not look back. i made a statement about the only thin b,t will be discussin is angelica.
Oh, wow. I just finished reading your last three chapters, Pancha, and I must say I was so engrossed that I barely moved my head in front of my computer. And now I got a crick in my neck. But I immensely enjoyed your fic. I feel bad for Leigh, who recognised Bette’s pain, and her own uphill battle should she continue dating Bette. And Tina? Should she really go through the whole deck of cards before calling a spade a spade? Geez, Tina. You piss me off, not because I think you’re wishy-washy, you just take for-fricking-ever to make up your mind. — Please post soon, Pancha. Cheers!
This is still sad and hurt. Now Tina know what she want and hope she and Bette have a talk in person and tell Bette how she feel. Ok post soon please, thanks!
keep em coming, pancha! I can take it. you telling the story will be better than IC’s.
Glad Tina’s coming to her senses. Is it just my imagination or is Bette becoming downright sagacious? So nice that you respect your characters and let them grow from who/where they had been. I watched that silly TV show last night and IC & Co. just morph their characters at whim. It was embarassing.
argh!!!! doing great but killing me. thanks.
Okay let me get the sports over first,What do you think of V Young turning Pro? Also That Bremmer let Michael Vick go from Vir Teck.Hear from the Controller of a town In Va that they had 4 good ones to replace Vick. Okay, Tina is a lonely woman right now .We know that Alice told Bette that Tina was not dating any one. Yet Bette seems happy with Leigh. Tinas lost and Leigh gain. thanks
I have to admit – I thought you were going for a reanactment of the table throwing scene with the girls on opposite sides of the flying table! But, alas …no. This story is great. Please post again soon!!
I love this story. I hate what’s happening but love the way you portray it. It’s like that huge storm coming that I just can’t evaculate because I have to watch. Anyway I can’t wait till Sept 9, 2006 Texas vs OSU in Texas. Should be another great game.
Okay this site officially sucks because I think it ate my comment. lol I can’t even remember what I had to say so I’ll start over. I don’t want to feel bad for Tina but somehow I do. Glad Robert is gone though as he creeped me out. I also feel bad for Leigh but at least she isn’t blind and realizes she may never completely have Bette’s heart. Just out of curiosity, about how long have Bette and Leigh been dating at this point? I know some people start off all touchy feeling in relationships, but there are people (like me) who sometimes don’t. Maybe being so close so soon is a regional and/or cultural thing because I don’t really know of that happening where I’m from. Oh and the bull comparison was great. I’ve been there somewhat and it sucks.
That was bittersweet. Really sad story for both women. Both are in turmoil and they don’t know how to resolve their unsettled and bitter feelings. They’re each in their own individual hell, of which, they themselves created. It’s quite sad, but sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you begin to climb back up. Thank you for this very intriguing story. It’s really quite amazing to read. Please post soon.
post again please…i love this story..
Another great chapter. So much better then what I watched tonight. Anyway congrats on the Championship. I’m a Notre Dame fan myself. But My Lady Vols beat UConn, so I did so celebrating also. Can’t wait till next post. Thanks foe writing.
