Lover’s Lapse – Chapter 47
As she stood and watched Liza sleeping peacefully in her crib Tina allowed her thoughts to drift to how much her world had changed in the past few weeks. She had resigned herself to the fact that Bette was gone from her life forever and that she would be raising Liza alone. She allowed herself to visualize the day that she first realized that Bette had been with her during the birth of their child.
Although she had prayed for the strength to raise the baby alone, she had always promised herself that at some point Liza would learn the truth about her other mother. As she smiled down at the sleeping child, she was struck by the realization that in a few short years Liza would be the spitting image of the Bette she had seen in the pictures from her childhood.
Reaching out, she stroked the soft, tangled mass of curls that covered her tiny head. Sighing softly she acknowledged that even had Bette not shown up for the delivery that there was to be no denying that this was her child.
Are we doing the right thing Liza? I love your other mother so very much but can we really fix us? Tina whispered quietly, What if we let her back into our life and she hurts me again?
Thinking back to the night of the Provocations opening she snapped her eyes shut as once again the vision of Bette with Candace played out in her mind. Absently wiping at a tear trailing slowly down her cheek she thought, My love wasnt enough to keep her from cheating before, so how can we be sure that it will not happen again?
Saying goodbye to Bette at the airport had been even harder than she thought that it would be. She stood silently watching as Bette held Liza tightly against her chest and lovingly bid farewell to her new daughter. The love that emanated from Bette was so reminiscent of the early years of their relationship that Tina could have sworn that she felt herself falling in love with her all over again. There was an honesty and purity in the love that Bette had shown them both since she had been in

I have never been in their shoes. But Tina needs to remember the good times and all the love that Bette tryed to give her. thanks
Welcome back i know this season is a terrible nigthmare, i enjoy read this post i hope you post again, take your time but continue post you are a very good writter.
Good to see you again. Good chapter and I agree with bettyvhall and let see whats next, thanks!
Thank God that you’re back! A one page chapter is better than no chapter so thank you for writing this. Looking forward to the next one.
please give us more very soon…tomorrow?
lane = plane WTF my typing blows bigtime
Great Chapter, But I need more please and soon.
any chapter of any length showing B/T working at their problems is fan-fucking-tastic as far as i am concerned . i love this story — just keep the faith babe – i find it hard and i ain’t seen shit3 – sorry s3 — so — be strong and trust in bette and tina like ic obviously doesn’t.
I think this chapter was just fine. And I too think that S3 has totally gone to hell in a handbasket. Even though Tina did that whole cybersex thing I was thinking the first few episodes weren’t that bad. Then it took a complete nosedive with Tina screwing Henry as the lane hitting the ground, and Dana’s death as the big explosion. It’s hard to get aggravated at people who aren’t writing regularly when their muse is almost nonexistant.
I’m so glad you didn’t give up. I know how hard it has to be but please hang in there. For those of us who live here in what’s been so aptly dubbed Denialville, you and other thoughtful authors are truly a godsend. I look forward to more.
So glad you’re back and didn’t give up on this story. I’ve been looking for it everyday. They both still have a ways to go, but they can get there together. You’ve done a great job! Don’t ever give up on them.
baby i feel your pain… and we are all in the same boat… but we will not sink… and we all will get back to writing love stories about our fav couple… fuck IC and company… i love your story… and i know bette will be back… and i hope tina realizes that she should move back to their home in LA… please write when you can
I feel your pain. I miss the B/T so much. The crap that IC is feeding us sucks so bad. I would use stronger language, but I am just stunned at the way these people have been protrayed. Oh by the way, there is a petition for us to sign about saving Bette and Tina. I have already signed it and if you feel strongly about these two at least think about signing it. It may not do any good, but HELL I do feel better about letting my thoughts be known.
I feel your sorrow…I think we’re all in the same boat. Denialville is pretty full. LOL. I’m applaud all of the writers who are trying in earnest to keep our B & T alive in love and well. Don’t get too discouraged keep faith in B & T. Thanks for the lovely update…it was so fantastic to read that they are working things out.
We’ve missed this story, Thankyou for continueing as we need this kind of therapy to help get us thru the shit of S3…It’s sad but I don’t know if it’s worth it to have a S4 being that IC totally mistreats us, her actors, and their stories…sigh…tks for the post!!!
great update u want to kill me!!!!!!!!!!!
great chapter…bette needs to do something out of the ordinaty to make tina believe that they are together forever…maybe bette should move to sandiego for now? please post soon, it’s a wonderful story, don’t let show put you down
Forgetting is impossible, forgiving is not. Tina needs to acknowledge the changes Bette’s made and take it on faith or forward progress will not be possible.
Bette and Tina forever.Tina,Bettwiil never ever cheat on you again.she loves you so much.what a nice chapter we need some more please
