“Shoulda” – 3.2 “I’m scared.” They had been through a difficult day, but all days seemed to be difficult lately. Bette and Tina had gone to bed and Bette was on her right side, looking at Tina’s back. She seemed to spend a great deal of time looking at her partner’s back. They had connected from time to time, but not enough. It was so hard to lie in bed, just inches from someone, and have no connection, not physical, not emotional, not verbal. Especially hard when you were aching to communicate. It probably didn’t help that Angelica slept with them. Kit had been surprised when she found out. “You mean the baby is in bed with you all night, every night?” Kit had asked, astonished. “Well, yes,” Bette had admitted. “Doesn’t that hinder your ‘pillow talk,’ not to mention your sex life?” “Well.” “Baby, sis, baby sishow many times have you jumped your wife with Angelica right there? Not once, I’ll bet.” Bette just looked at the floor. “Bette, please buy a crib for that baby. I’ll buy the crib for a present. Give her a rest and give you two a break.” So this night was like so many others. Bette wanted to talk. Tina was exhausted or ignoring her. And the baby was right next to Tina. Tina mm-hmm Are you awake? mm-hmm I’m scared. It’s OK, baby. What if I can’t adopt her? What if I can’t find a job that I really love? What if we lose this house? I justI feel like I feel like I don’t have any control over anything. I mean, I don’t know what’s going on with us. I don’t know if it’s all the changes and Tina? Tina? Bette stopped because she realized Tina was asleep. She lay there for a while and then turned on her back. She felt Tina move and then felt her warm arm across her waist. “Bette?” “I thought you were asleep.” “I was thinking, baby.” Bette looked into Tina’s face. “Bette, one of us needs to get a job. If you want to keep looking for something special, I need to get a job because our money is running short.”

If we could only see this played out next week. I do hope David gets a little feedback though.
“FUCK” hell yeah…now dats what I’m talking about!!!!! IC can learn soooo many things from soooo many of you fanfic authors!!!!!! UPDATE SOON!!!!
WooHoo!!!!!! Thank you Pancha…now that’s more like it!!! Go Tina, go Tina, go Tina!!!!!!!
Lamentamini- if you read this, I guess Tina already slept whend Bette began talkin.. I response like that too when people talk to me while i’m sleeping, Tina sounded asleep.. No way our Tina will ignore a crying Bette right?…:(
yeah go Tina. Great chapter, please post soon
Tell us how you really feel, Tina. Excellent, Pancha. I think there will a few more Shoulda’s this season.
You are such a good writer. This needs to happen on the show. Are you going to post the NC-17 Soon? Thank you for your stories. I just love them.
It’s nice to see a Tina that isn’t indifferent to Bette. The fact that Bette still wanted David at the house after seeing his homo-hate in full display was a bit much to believe at least Kit gave him some whup ass. I’m enjoying the Shouldas, pancha
I am really enjoying this. And yes, this shoulda happened. It is good to see Bette and Tina acting loving towards each other…and though I am prepared for the annoyance that the show is going to cause me this season (ie Tina and a man), your story is going to make it bareable…Thanks!
Ah yes again, this shoulda happened! You should apply for a job as a writer for showtime so atleast we can have a happy season. Don’t really like season three so far except for Alice and Helena. They make me laugh! So bring on your shoulda stories, they make me happy LOL please post soon, or as soon as you can after the next episode! Thanx
That was a good “Shoulda” Put that little daling in a crib. Babies dont sleep good nor do the parents. I was afraid I woud roll over on them. David is just like Melvin. Thanks so much for this If I was younger I would do a hppy dance. That was for a laugh for you. Thanks
LOL i can only say i still like yopur story much better ive read and seen acreencaps etc on the first 2 episodes and your doing a much better job! that was great and really as it should be! thanks,im sure the show is going to give you a few more “SHOULDAS”…
These “shoulda” is a great idea, I love them. I can’t see the S3 because I live in Europe, but they makes sense anyway….keep’em coming.
wooooo! now.. DAMN wouldnt that have made for a better scene in the show!
now that would have been very nice… see they could show us some loving care without the sex … we all know JB is pregnant… we can fill in the blanks… hell we have been doing that for the past 2 seasons… please continue…LOVE THE WAY SHE PEGGED DAVID… HES A MINI ME (MELVIN)… THE PRICK
u are making my dreams come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re my unofficial fairy godmother now, Pancha. Thanks for granting my simple wish. I always liked it when Tina unsheaths her claws, bears her teeth and fights to the death. I so like YOUR Tina. After all that autonomy talk (lip service) from S2, I thought S3 Tina would’ve a strong spine by now. This wishy-washy Tina-replicant is pissing me off. Thanks for giving us a better (Bette-r) Tina. (My puns suck and blow. Sorry.) Cheers!
I’m in agreement with the others…we need a Shoulda for each episode. ;-) This is what I was hoping happened, but yet again. LOL. Thanks for this wonderful woulda, coulda, SHOULDA.
Nicely done. I’m beginning to look forward to your “Shouldas”.
These shoulda’s are great.Keep them up.
I AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!!!! You are ‘right-on-the-money’ with this! Great post!
That’s what I’m talking about!
Yay Tina!… “I’m the birth mother and I want Bette as the other parent. Who the fuck are you?” …Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista! …Tina got some ‘o that Kit Porter rubbing off on her! Thank you for this revisionist history, continuing in JKS’s tradition.
P.S.: Please show us the ‘guest room’ scene. Please!
Great work Pancha you should have been doing the writing for season 3!!
Now that’s what I’m talking about. We’re shipping to off to IC and TPTB to re-write the rest of the season. Please continue in way the story should be.
Damn you go Tina!
Yeah, Baby! Knew U would find a “shoulda” quicker then U thought. The way this season is going already, there should be plenty. C ya.
Pancha, If only. If only! Wonderful writing as always. A lyric version of what we all wanted to see. Am loving these new and exciting tangents. Thanks, Your Loyal Fan.
I really think Tina’s falling asleep when Bette opened up to her is worse than her exploration of heterosex. It feels like she doesn’t love Bette anymore and becomes heartless to Bette…
Daaaaaaaaayum, glad Tina got that off her chest. I do believe David has been ripped a new one. And I agree with love_girl about you writing a ‘Shoulda’ for every episode…in fact, you should be on the LW writing staff, dammit! Let them know you can have drama without tearing the viewers’ hearts out.
thank you so much!! Just a question: Can you make a shoulda of every episode??? :-D Cause when i’m depressed after one, you make me happy again, I love the shoulda’s!!! Great idea!
I’m glad you elaborated on this scene as this was the one that bothered me the most. I mean, here we saw Bette scared shitless and actually trying to talk to Tina about it. But what did Tina do? She fell asleep with her back to Bette. It just proved that they hadn’t talked about any of their problems during the 6 months between S2 and S3. Plus, Tina’s actions could make Bette think twice about opening up to her again. Why bother talking to someone who doesn’t seem to care?
Ah, Pancha, another fine entry. Your version of the characters are so much more recognzable than what IC has been giving us on the TV. She just morphs them willy-nilly to suit her current agenda (whatever that might be). BTW, isn’t dangerous to have an infant sleeping in the bed with adults? Little things like crushing and suffocation? And the kid is never to go a single second without being held by somebody. What kind of expectation is that going to set up in her let alone how she is to define herself? I fear for her physical and mental wellbeing.
great chapter, I’ve read a lot of articles about IC and the recent one in the advocate from JB. In it there is a section from IC and she mentions about Karina and that in a series the actors don’t really have say over their characters…..But honestly if JB were to take a stand I’m thinking that IC would listen very closely….But my impression is that this is IC’s baby and no one is gonna tell her how to raise it. Power does seem to go to some peoples head..what do they say a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing sometimes…power too. Oh well we will always have this site, these wonderful stories and writers like yourself…Thank god for small miracles!!!!!!
Go Tina! I don’t know whether anyone else feels the same, but I felt that the incidental music, over the scene in bed where Bette reveals her fears, was very intrusive and made it difficult to hear what Bette was saying. A very sensitive moment spoilt by the music soundtrack.
oh I agree with love_girl…that would be a great idea!!!
Hey Pancha, thanks for this. I have a feeling this is about the only thing I am going to be in contact with for the next few weeks. I would rather read the shouldas then what is going to happen. If there is not going to be a season 4 (which we should know in a few weeks) than I would rather not go through the agony and ending and that be it! Keep up the great writing and pls start another B&T or continue with your other, love them all!
fuck IC and her version…I am so happy we have you!
Now thats more like it. Way to go. Maybe its me but IC always seems to leave the most critical scenes flat.
yes, that’s what i’m talking about, send your resume to IC to be on the writing stuff, everybody would be so much happier, we still have drama but much better…thanks, i’m voting for shoulda for each episode as well
