Bette and Tina made their way across the Planet to where they saw Shane, Carmen, Alice and Dana. Shane was keeping a watchful eye on five-week old Angelica, who was asleep in her baby carrier. She hadn’t awakened even once while her mommies were gone.
Alice looked up and saw them as they approached the table.
"It is so good to see you two holding hands again," Alice said. "It seems like all is right with the world. How was Foxworthy?"
"Oh God, so much better than the crazy chick with the clown nose," Tina replied. "He may be a man, but you don’t have to be a woman to understand relationships."
"Okay, I know, I just thought it would be good to try a female therapist," Bette defended her idea that they see someone other than Dan Foxworthy as they were working through some of their problems.
"Did you ever tell him you tried someone else?" Alice asked. Always trying to get to the root of the story.
"We did," Bette replied. "We told him who we saw. He got this wry grin on his face and said something about the fact that they had different approaches to the therapeutic experience."
"I’ll say," Tina commented. "He’s sane and she is a fucking wing nut."
"Can I get anyone anything? We haven’t ordered yet," Bette said as she pulled a chair out for Tina before going over to gaze at their daughter.
"Don’t wake her up Bette," Tina cautioned her.
"I’m just looking, I wasn’t going to wake her up," Bette said. She wanted to though. She wanted to have those little fingers wrapped around her own in a grip that assured her of the confidence her daughter had in her. The confidence she no longer had in herself. "Anything to eat, Tee?" she asked as she stood tall again.
"A menu for me please," Tina replied. "But tea for now is fine."
Tina watched as Bette walked away from the table, her eyes wandering in no subtle way over the retreating form of her partner.
"Things must be going better between you two, considering the look you’re giving her right now," Alice leaned in to whisper to Tina as Shane, Carmen and Dana became engrossed in their own conversation.

Good chapter. They will work thing out soon and be happy again. Post soon please, thanks!
Thanks for the great post. The way it should be.
I’m wondering if your “six months” is going to lead them into the couple we now see on LWord. Could be. That won’t be easy to write, but, clearly, you can do it. I’ll be reading.
Oops, forgot to tell you that I really do love your revisionist pieces.
Okay, looks like my first comment got lost. Here it is again. This is the way B&T are meant to be. Not what we’re seeing from IC. Thanks, JKS.
One thing I’ve learned from life is that: communal breast feeding sessions do wonders for bonding the family together. Does the ‘manny’ get involved too?… Is there a ‘manny in this story? I did not have one when I was growing up, but if I were to be born now, I would look up at my moms (that’s assuming I had two moms), and say, “Hey moms, get me a manny! And make him fine while you’re at it!” …Yes, even infants can self-affirm. I believe that! Thank you!
Thank you for writing this chapter, this is the kind of stuff I want to read. I want to read about them working throught their issues, talking, shouting if need be…but working on their relationship nevertheless. Thank you for this and please give us more. Oh, and I so hope Pancha305 is of course.
Love it!
almost made me cry…why, oh why can they be like that on a show, argue yet in love, struggling yet knowing that they are meant to be…love this
Nice JKS, very nice. I hope that your 6 months leads them to be a BRTTER couple that we are now seeing on the show. There is nothing wrong with a little postivtity. Maybe we can whisper that into IC and company’s ear, or perhaps we should yell it :o)
Its so hard to picture them like they are in the show.
I’m so glad you are continuing with this story. Too bad the show isn’t going in this direction.
I like that you have them working and not just falling into everything’s OK but the desire to communicate is there hip hip hurrah!! thanks
gorgeous story. i love that the reader knows bette and tina aren’t perfect, but is assured that they’re together. that’s talent, friend.
Oh, what a beautiful story! I wish their communication was so open and honest. Looking forward to the next!
please help solve the Tina riddle.. Loved this..
I got ten dollahs on a ticket to send JKS to Coast Mountain Productions. Anybody else game?
And double sigh. I used to look forward to Sunday nights, now I just cringe. But of course, I will continue to watch. You make their communicating look easy. What’s wrong with you IC???
“She wanted to have those little fingers wrapped around her own in a grip that assured her of the confidence her daughter had in her. The confidence she no longer had in herself.”Thank you so much for sharing. This statement is so “poetic” and embodies the power of love and its ability to provide strength when we no longer can draw from ourselves. Simply beautiful!
F-ing fantastic, JKS! I can rest easy tonight.
jks….great update.
*sigh* I know fanfic is happy joy joy but we can’t even get them bonding over the baby in the show; a moment like this would do wonders in making me enjoy this show even if they don’t stay together. ps I hate you IC but I love you jks.
You have done it again Swimmie….another great and wonderful chapter :o))
