“Hey babe, what do you feel like doing tonight?”
“What are the options?” asked Bette, surprised by Tina’s carefree tone, given the circumstances
“Well, we could continue the bleak post mortem of our relationship or I could take you ice skating. Which would you prefer?”
“Ice skating? In London?”
“It’s just outside London actually, Hampton Court Palace. It’s supposed to be beautiful and we should make an effort to see a bit more of the country while we’re here.”
“You want me to go ice skating?” said Bette bemused.
“Come on Bette, It’ll be fun, and it’s beats the alternative.”
“OK, but, if I break my ankle, it’s your fault and you’ll have to nurse me back to health.”
“I’m sure we’ll both survive unscathed.” laughed Tina, knowing how sullen Bette could be when she felt unwell.
“”When do I need to be ready by?”
“You need to be in the hotel lobby at seven and wear something warm Bette. We can get something to eat once we get there.”
“How long have you been planning this?”
“Only today. To be honest it kind of depended on how last night went”
“Does that mean that I can presume that you thought last night went well, that we talked about things that are important to you.”
“Yes Bette, I think that you can safely presume that to be the case. Anyway I have to go if I’m going to get out of here on time. I’ll see you later.”
“Bye T.”
As Tina hung up the phone Kate walked into the office soon enough to catch the smile on Tina’s face that had resulted from her chat with Bette.
“Hey boss, what’s up?”
“Well, potentially I may see my desk underneath this mountain of paperwork by the end of the day and before I leave I have to stop a location shoot falling through, otherwise it could put us behind schedule, which for reasons that are too many to mention I don’t want to happen.”
“But all of that didn’t put that smile on your face.”
“What smile?” said Tina, knowing that she had been caught out.
“You should know that you’re still smiling right now. So, how are things with you and Bette?”
“You’ve seen right through me yet again. But as you asked, they are actually going pretty well. So well, in fact, that tonight we are going ice skating, just to spend some time together.”

not to sure where you are going with this story, But your keeping me enthralled
before they get into such deep conversations about the future, they still need to resolve the present…is tina even ready to be with bette again?
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
oh no…please let them talk! post soon
Memo to Ilene: read citygirl75’s story and take notes on how Bette and Tina should be communicating in S3. Great chapter.
If Bette want a child,let her have it herself.she doesn’t need Tina in her life to have some happiness. That will something that will completely hers. To me that is a small thing.for about a life of raising a child.
See where the renewed the L=Word for Fourth season and the viewing is up 50% thanks
What is wrong with this picture. Bette is assuming that she needs Tina to have the baby. WRONG-O!!!!! Bette could have the child herself if that is what she wants so badly she has a womb, she really doesn’t need Tina for that. Now if she still wants Tina in her life let Tina come back and let Bette have the baby or adopt one. Then Tina can stay or leave. They really need to resolve this sticky point. Never though I would feel this way about this couple, I love them both but, I am geting tired of all the bickering. Tina needs to —- or get off the pot. Did not realize that I was going to rant today. Sorry. Thanks for the post.
Please just let them talk and work thing out and not have a problem!
When Tina said “The issue we can’t resolve.” about the baby — did they already resolve the other issues?? Tina can forgive her for the affair, shutting her out, and lack of communication; however, has she forgiven Bette yet? I was just a little confused by Tina’s last statement. At least they are continuing to talk. Thanks for the update.
