    Can the Tide be Changed?
     


    Tina found herself once again being short with Bette. They were spending a lot of time together with Bette not working and having a new baby in the house to take care of and all the stresses that entailed with worrying about money and worrying about if they were doing the right thing for Angelica and not having her family in her life to support her. It seemed like since she had gotten pregnant and given birth her hormones and emotions were on a roller coaster ride.

    She didn’t want Bette touching her especially since she found herself checking out guys on the street, in The Planet and on TV for the first time in years. She felt guilty about it and she knew Bette wouldn’t want to hear about any sexual thoughts she was having about anyone else besides herself and Angelina Jolie. She was angry at Bette’s refusal to take a normal job and her insistence on doing passion projects.

    Instead of being honest with Bette she was pushing her away, refusing to continue conversations when Bette tried to discuss their sex life or lack thereof, she found herself becoming colder and angrier and watched as Bette started walking on egg shells around her, Tina figured there was a limit to what Bette would take from her, the old Bette never would have stood for it, but this new Bette seemed to take whatever Tina dished out.

    Tina was filled with doubts, did she do the wrong thing by returning to Bette, should she have stayed on her own longer, could she fully trust Bette not to hurt her again, her sexual identity and desire were in flux, but one thing she didn’t doubt was Bette’s love for Angelica, Bette was Angelica’s other mother and she fully supported Bette adopting Angelica. Tina could see that she was hurting Bette and yet she found she couldn’t stop herself. Did she really have to dismiss Bette’s interest in Buddhism with an eye roll? Maybe Bette really was trying to change.

    *****

    Bette had been trying everything she could think of and yet she couldn’t connect with Tina. All she wanted was to be happy as a family, to love her partner and her daughter and only one of them was allowing her to love, hold, care for and converse without turning it into an argument or turning a cold shoulder. Bette wanted her life with Tina back more than anything and yet she could feel it slipping away. She had been filled with so much hope when Tina decided to move back home. What had happened? Why did Tina keep pushing her away?

    1. Such a bizarre concept you have here Madcapper. Protagonists able to control themselves, be civil, consider others.. But I have to say Tina’s soup tastes a lot better when taken orally.

    7. Hey, I love Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t get showtime so I end waiting till the DVD comes out or reading what happens on this site. I think that it is funny that Tina watches that show. The women are hot on that show and very strong individuals. Back to your story, I love it and am glad to see them reconnecting. It is nice to see Bette wanting to take it slow and not just jump into bed with Tina. Bette knows that they are good together in between the sheets, now they need to work outside of the bed. I know these two can make it work again and only pray that in the real show they get that chance.

    9. I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy, and I watch L Word at 11:00…That was a great spin on it. I really do hope that you choose to continue this story. I like it very much!

    21. thanks for this great chapter… you’re definitely on the right track. I don’t think you should bother about whether the characters are believable or not (they are), because IC and her team never worry about such minor stuff, they’re sooo above that… Looking forward to reading the 2nd chapter… Oh and btw, Henry has the ugliest back I’ve ever seen, it makes me wanna puke.

    22. I think Bette did the right thing not jumping into bed with Tina. She can’t do the having-something-something-with-Tina-then-having Tina-back-then-losing-Tina-again stuff again. She really needs to stand up on her feet first. We all know Tina fancies alpha women. If she really wants Tina back, she has to be alpha again. A bit ironic, huh? I’m also wondering if Bette will have any shadow even if Tina wants to be back. Yeah, we can’t help having feelings for others. But at least, Bette went to Tina again after she knowing what she really wanted. They can’t just go back when Tina is still having feelings for men.

    26. This was a very interesting take and I’m curious where you’re going with it. I’ll be reading. I’m tinkering with a post S3 story but it’s not at all like this. (That’s what fun to me about fanfic–the different takes we all have.) Oh, also…you know I miss WestHolly. Giddyup!

    27. So proud of Bette,we all know where she wanted to be,in Bed with Tina. Let them keep talking. Maybe if they talk,and become friends the gang will let her in the outer circle but not the inner one quite yet. They were will not friends when they met, They became lover and then tryed to be friend Once you are friends and them lover you can’t go back to being friend, they do have a chance to start as friends. thanks
