    Author Notes:

    FIX IT CHALLENGE #8–How the conversation should have gone when Tina told Bette she had feelings for men again.

    “You…what?”  

    Bette couldn’t believe her ears.  The love of her life…the woman she’d shared so much with over the years, and now shared a baby, was telling her she was struggling with feelings for men!

    It all was beginning to make sense now.  Tina had been distant since she’d had the baby, but Bette thought it was a combination of the difficult birth and the challenges of having a baby when they still hadn’t fully dealt with the situations that had led to her infidelity.

    Still, she never thought it would come to this–or hoped that it wouldn’t.

    Tina repeated herself, very deliberately, but she didn’t look Bette in the eye:  “I said…I think I have feelings for men.”

    ********************************

    Bette thought back to when she first met Tina during a show opening at her gallery.  Tina had been seriously dating Eric.  Even with that knowledge, Bette found herself irresistibly drawn to this woman.  She realized immediately that the feeling was mutual.  Tina’s shy responses to her inquiries said it all.  Bette knew that, if she could get through to Tina, it would be different from all other relationships she had had over the years…

    But now, she’s hearing the words that she feared would be said—the most horrible thing that lingered in the back of her mind.  She had wooed Tina from a man, and now, she was going to lose her to a man!

    Tina’s words triggered all of Bette’s insecurities and self doubts.  After she lost her job at the CAC, it made the tensions between her and Tina worse.  Bette had been their source of support for so long, and then she had…nothing—not even Tina.  Still, she held out hope that love would prevail—that time was on her side.  They had been through so much together over the years…

    Why this?  Why now?

    Armed with her new high-level studio job, Tina now had the upper hand, and she seemed to slap Bette with it every chance she had.  She undercut the already low, and Bette couldn’t fight her.  She understood she was the one who betrayed the trust of their relationship when she allowed the affair with Candace.  They were already suffering from lapses in communication, and she sought solace in a place that was taboo and at a terrible moment in time.

    10. I liked how Bette let Tina blurt out what she was thinking without responding until Tina was done. I know I have a bad habit of interrupting when I’m being confronted.

    17. This is defintely the way that it should have gone when Tina opened up to Bette about her feelings towards men. Bette listening and then actually telling Tina that she was totally wrong but was working to keep her soul mate from running away.

    22. Just came back from holidays and while catching up with fanfics I saw you posted already the fifth chapter of a story. I’ve started with the first one, which I see was already written a long time ago. I can tell you from the first paragraph your powerful writing amazed me. I’m gonna read the next chapters in a bliss and comment on all of them.
