    Author Notes:

    Every day

    "Tina, as painful as this is, I think you had better finish off what you came here to say to me.  I don’t think I could endure spinning this out to another meeting.  I really need to know if this is a beginning or an end, because I can’t deal with any thing else in the middle."

    Tina met Bette’s gaze and saw there a candour and vulnerability she had seldom seen in the entire course of their nearly nine year relationship.  It touched her and it challenged her to make the right response, to do the right thing by this woman with whom she had shared so much and who had brought so much to her life.

    Tina nodded, compressed her lips and sat a little taller.
    "Okay, Bette.  I owe you that – at the very least."
     

    "Have I made any sense so far?"  Tina was tentative, but she was also desperately trying to claw her way back to the theme which, earlier, she had expressed so ineptly.

    Bette had that perplexed look again – that look of genuine incomprehension that had flooded her features when she responded to Helena’s cautionary words about Tina’s condition with her own legendary words, "What condition?"  It was that ‘cosmic joke’ look.  At any other time it would have made Tina chuckle, but now, here, it made her ache for Bette and the way in which she had been unable to bring herself to share the news of her pregnancy.

    Tina didn’t want to prolong Bette’s discomfort.
    "Bette, do you understand anything I am trying to say to you?"

    "I don’t know, T, Tina. I don’t know what I should be trying to understand."

    Bette’s slip from the personal to the less personal did not go unmissed by Tina.

    "You can call me, T.  It’s OK."

    "But that’s just it.  I really don’t know if it is OK.  T.  What does T mean?  Oh, yes, it’s short for Tina.  No, wait a minute.  It’s my pet name for you.  It’s my personal, intimate name.  No, it’s more than that, it’s a name between . . . between lovers.  You see, Tina, does any of that mean anything any more?"

    "It’s history, Bette.  It’s part of our history. We have been carrying around other bits of our history all year, why can’t we keep a hold on this?"

    7. That was so intense but at the same time so rewarding. See what happens when you talk things out. Now why could IC and co. not write that. We all can see the chemistry between these two. They threw out the baby with the bath water and did not even bother to retrieve the baby. Now the real Bette and Tina would never have done that. Thank you for allowing these two to try and put their lives back together. Are you sure that you do not want to write more on this story?
