Bette entered the house, closed the door behind her and wordlessly crossed to the kitchen where Tina was preparing dinner. In a similar fashion Tina glanced up briefly when she heard Bette’s keys in the door but promptly refocused on the task of preparing dinner. She wasn’t looking forward to what she surmised was her moody partner arriving home.
Bette entered the kitchen and stopped in her tracks as she saw the determination with which Tina was chopping a defenseless carrot.
“T?” Bette called in a quiet voice.
“Yeah” Tina replied impatiently without looking up.
“Do you think, maybe we could talk?”
“Sounds like you’ve already made all the decisions. What’s left to discuss?” Tina replied petulantly.
Bette took a deep breath. “OK, Tina” Bette said as she threw her arms up “I’m the selfish asshole, as usual. I really shouldn’t try because even when I attempt to do something selfless for us I still manage to fuck it all up, but could you at least just listen to what I’m about to say?”
Tina took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she placed the knife down and looked up at Bette. She was immediately struck by the unexpected look of remorse when she had expected nothing less than defiance from Bette.
“Please try and understand that I was only trying to find a solution when I came to you this morning.” Bette said as she shook her head sorrowfully “I was trying to find a way to give you what you wanted but also eliminate the risk.”
“Do you really think that it would hurt me any less if it were you who lost the baby?” Tina quietly questioned as a frown creased her brow.
“I didn’t think about it like that” Bette admitted “The fact is that you miscarried last time and it completely devastated you. My focus was on preventing that from happening again. I wasn’t thinking about all the other ‘what ifs’”
“Well maybe you should have” Tina said quickly before the compulsion to bite back her words had the opportunity to dominate.
“You’re right” Bette sighed “I should have, I’ve come to realize that. I didn’t mean to upset you, Tina. I shouldn’t have walked out like that either but it felt like you were somehow horrified at the thought of me giving birth to our child.”

Some honest conversation. Now, was that too hard? Great (short!) chapter, Hackgirl. Please post soon.

Good convo…now, on to the makeup sex!
Thank you…this was fabulous!!
That was amazing bring on the naked make up sex
Words are powerful, they can cause devastating hurt and numerous slights, but when used as a gift and not a weapon they can heal and bridge even the widest gaps. Very nicely done. You could almost feel the heat from Bette’s breath in Tina’s ear…
Show her you’re still young. heehee.
Thanks for continuing! Remorse in place of defiance…her partner sharing realized thoughts. Loved it. Good thing your Alice isn’t on drugs.
I am reading this entire series all over again, and loving it all over again. Where are you Hackgirl?
Finally, they spoke about what really transpired between them earlier. Of course, Alice comes to their rescue. Thanks for the update.

HackGirl,That was magnificent.The open and real way in which you create these conversations is fabulous. I do feel like a fly on the wall.I loved the playfulness as Bette teased Tina about her confiding in a ‘stranger’ and accepting her responsibility for this disagreement.Genius!Just please, please, please make it longer next time.Thanks as always,Your Loyal Fan
