The Long and Winding Road chap 24
“Yes – I will go to the STD clinic — we will go to the clinic and I will get checked out . I know we said that we would ask no more questions but there is one that I do want to ask ? “
Bette put her cup down and gave her full attention to Tina.
“Do you think less of me for how I got pregnant ? “
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bette rubbed her brow as her mind raced with how she would answer this sixty million dollar question.
“I’m shocked and surprised Tina – you must see that. You are so monogamous. But nothing would make me think any less of you. Nothing on this planet would make me think of you with anything but love and respect. Did you think less of me when I cheated on you ? “
Turning it around on Tina was unfair but it is a question that needs to be faced. Bette knew that they had both done something out of character. Two wrongs do not cancel each other out but it also means that neither of them exactly has the high moral ground any more.
“At the time – yes. I thought some seriously bad things of you but I was being so unfair on you and the memory of our eight years together. For a while I wrote off our whole marriage – but in retrospect it was how I dealt with it. I was in the wrong and I think only now do I see that. I’m sorry Bette “
“There is no way that you can have thought less of me than I did myself. I got self flagellation down to a fine art. I would like to understand why you did what you did though“
“I would like to understand what I did as well “
Bette looked at Tina and pulled her close. She was beginning to see how lost Tina had become.
“I have a question for you “
“What’s that ?”
“Did you even think about the risks you were taking with your health ? “

i said goddamn
It’s better to speak them out than hide them up. Just imagining a family with four sicks is terrified enough.
“Silly Bitch”, “Stupid bitch”? Them’s fighting words where I come from. A bit strong for my taste! I understand the gravity of the situation. Has Bette been tested as well? Will she be? This could be a deal-breaker for me. Hope their love can prevail over it. Thanks!
bitch….WHAT? I can’t believe Bette called Tina out of her name. I’m offended.lol
ally, please do not take offense at my earlier semi-rant.Your writing and storytelling is excellent and enjoy every story that you’ve posted. I am just irritated with this fictional character, Tina (pretty sad on my part, eh?) and how she always acts the victim but wants forgiveness when she transgresses.
Reading your chapters is certainly never a bore or a chore. I love them all! Am supposed to be packing all my belongings up before lunchtime tomorrow but have spent most of today reading fanfic! Am likely to be up all night and slowed down by daydreaming about B&T! Thanks again for posting – it really is a joy to read whatever you write.
I love fiction…and I adore your stories. post soon
hey ally, thanks for the update; so nice to have a perfectly ‘imperfect Tina’ who like the rest us does crazy things for a good reason; and way to go with Bette speaking her truth. Hanging out for more.
Hi Ally – thanks for this. I’m still catching up on stuff so no long comments tonight. Enjoy your holiday – is it any coincidence that wimbledon starts next week?
Hi Ally. I love your writing, and enjoy all your stories. Please – I’m begging you – don’t do what Jobadge alluded to and infect Tina. Please NO! I’m looking forward to Wimbledon too – please make my week and continue writing in your amazing way. Thanks for all your stories…
Hey Ally!! You know I’m a huge fan of both your stories (waiting patiently on the next chappy of L-Wing). I’ve got to tell ya…Bette is a better woman than me!! No amount of love would make me forgive how careless Tina has been. But then again, I’ve never been that deeply in love. So, I guess it would depend on the person. Great job on this story!!!
Damn this is freaking awesome and excellent. Poor Bette, have to call Tina a bitch and this is scared them and hope everything will be ok and they will get through this together. OK post soon please, thanks!
firtable i hope you will hape a lot of funny time in your time out the job, football and tennis it’s my favorites sport too! well to the story! your chapters are always so good! you are an amazing writer! I think that Bette and Tina both was freaking out about the posibility of some TSD and was a big relief that Tina is clear! then she can continue spent a lot of quality time together and take care each other!
I hope that Tina will be found to be clear and then deal with her actions. Most of us have forgotten exactly how lost and low Tina must had felt after Bette left. Bette just up and left without saying a word. Tina then moves from one relationship to another trying to find her way. She then settles with Hen butt and is even more lost. It was like she was trying to replace the love that she had for Bette into a child that she desperately wanted. She went about it wrongly in trying to bring some happiness into her life. Now that Bette is back she is hopefully putting all the dangerous behavior behind her. I know that I have done some really stupid things because of a lost love. Great eye opening chapter.
Ally, you have stirred quite the controversey! What tina did was stupid. Not to say that one is better than the other, BUT tina has a higher chance of contracting a STD(including HIV) from a MAN than a woman. However sex prevention/harm reduction should be practiced by everyone regardless of your sexual partner. I don’t beleive Bette calling tina those names was out of line, it’s what she was feeling at the moment. Furthermore Tina was a “silly bitch” (lol). Another point someone brought up was Bette’s so-called promisicious past, we don’t know that for sure. We don’t know Bette’s how many sexual partners she has had. Many of the fanfics portray Bette as this big player that got pu$$y at the drop of a hat. She could have very well not had a long list of partners. Sure the woman is beautiful sexy, charming and a great personality but it does not mean she was getting laid on a constant basis nor is she did not have serious relationship before “Queen Tina.”. Dare I say I would be very interested to see how this plays out if Tina did contract something, which is a possibility. another thing to point just b/c Tina might be negative on the first HIV test, she still has to come back a couple of months later to get tested again. So it will be unclear for the next few months! Post soon!
Stupid bitch! LOL….At least Bette got it off her chest!
I love it :) I can’t emphasise the love I have for your writing enough. I don’t always commment, I shouldn’t even be reading fan fiction at the moment (uni exams) but I have to come online and check daily for an update from you :D Thank You for making my awful day bearable :Dq
HuH who was calling who a stupid bitch? Totally confusing this one, but I think I got that it was Tina’s internal voice. Two points of doubts with this latest installment but you handled them ok. I never got the feeling that it was just about getting pregnant. There are ways to get pregnant the old-fashioned way without putting your life and the life of others at risk. There is something really flawed with these characters but that’s in keeping with the show so yeah not a big deal. But I think you are trying too hard to cover those flaws with this sense of undying, all encompassing love and quite frankly it’s making the story stiff and forced. Humans make mistakes they both have but they should own up to them but I understand this might not be that easy considering they are both with child. Secondly I thought Bette was going to turn a blind eye and she kind of did but you still have her angry and hurt enough to be dealing with it in some form so that part is quite realistic. I don’t know if I believe in love enough to be with a woman that did what Tina did in that she put my life and health at risk. But its cool I can still be objective about this story and the couple involved.
ally tht was a amazing story at always …pls dun let tina have any stds the things they ahve gone thru as a couple ver hard enuffthankyou so much for this early morning readxoxo
Great, just great. The feelings, the dialogues, everyting
poor bette, she just burst that last thing out, at least they are still there for each other no matter what
Actually I think that you have dealt with this entire situation quite well. Yes B&T still need to talk and work thier way through this but it is also VERY important for them to show that at the end of the day or the bottom line is that they love each other and don’t want to loose each other again. It was VERY important that Bette let Tina know that she was most upset that she could have lost her because of health complications, not because that she is necessarliy turned off by her sleeping with multiple people. Tina has really been lost since she and Bette split and Henry was not the answer.
I learned in class a couple of weeks ago that if you put vinegar on genital warts, they turn white. Saw a picture where it looked like the guy’s dick had a Santa Claus beard. So it’s to be expected that Bette would be pissed at Tina, furious even, and it may take a while to get beyond that. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her. Ah, conflicted feelings, make the world go round. Let’s see what happens to everybodies’ blood pressure. The doctor may have given the OK, but I’m wondering if Tina’s going to get any satisfaction anytime soon.
I know what you mean about sleep. I’ve been getting between 8-9 hours a night the last few days, instead of maybe 6. Heaven.
Bette is a saint. I don’t know how she could forgive Tina. Tina risked her health, her baby’s (if she became preggers) and her future partners, Bette in this case with Bette’s baby. Bette has shown tremendous character growth to wait until after the test results to get angry w/Tina. Of course, I want the HIV tests to be negative. The best thing about the situation is as you mentioned: the both can no longer claim the high moral ground. It is now an even playing field. But what gnaws at me is this: Would Tina be so forgiving of Bette’s affair if she hadn’t whored out herself? Tina knew what she had done and still had sex w/Bette (and Bette’s baby) w/o telling Bette. Would Tina still have forgiven Bette if she didn’t have that two night-stand? Actually, what Tina did is far worse in my mind than Bette’s transgression. JMO. Sorry for a bit of rant. Your writing abilities are never in question in mind and this is no exception. But Tina’s continued self-righteous attitude towards Bette has always bothered me. I don’t condone Bette’s actions in any form but Tina should have extracted her pound of flesh from Bette and then either forgive or let her go. I would want them together b/c I am a huge TiBetter but Tina just dismantled Bette and then tossed her away.
I’m not even sure what to think. It was a dumbass thing that Tina did, twice. But if we look at the failed threesome from S1 that was Bette’s crazy idea and Tina went with it to make Bette happy. It was still a dumb idea though, plus the guy wasn’t even all that great looking. =p I’m not sure if I could get past the way Tina got pregnant. I tend to hold long grudges. It’s a character flaw of mine.
Oh wow! That was intense! Glad that Tina is almost out of the woods, but it really was so damn stupid of her. They need to talk some more. Oh and Ally, thanks for writing! ^_^
Not much to say, but wanted to let you know I’m still enjoying greatly!
You know we are great friends… right?? Ok with that out of the way I just have to say – I have a feeling that the little tiny portion of your mind that deals with twisted, wicked thoughts may just rears its ugly head and bite Tina in the ass! But having said that, you’re still my great friend!
Okay enough is enough. I am gay, but why is it any different that Bette was out sleeping around so much before her and Tina where together? Is it because she was sleeping with women and not men? Do we know if Bette was having safe sex? Granted Tina was being stupid, but she was so confused about who and what she really wanted that she wasn’t thinging clearly. So now we find out that Tina is hopefully clean and then Bette needs to decide if she loves her enough to move on from this. Oh, by the way Ally I really love the way you write and don’t let anyone ever tell you how you should write.
I get Bette’s frustration and anger about how stupid Tina was but “b*itch” was a pretty strong word to use. JMO. I really did think that Bette had handled it very well when Tina asked is she thinks less of her. Now onto Tina’s side. What she did was truly stupid but given that she wasn’t happy with Henry and wanted a baby badly that she didn’t even think about the possible consequences. You’ve just shown us the state of her being “lost”. If she had thought everything through and be rational, she wouldn’t be that “lost”, would she? LOL!! See all these reactions you’re getting out of us readers? That’s all because of your skills. This is your story to tell and I’m happy wherever you lead us. Great job!
Just to further the debate: I don’t think there is a moral difference between Bette sleeping around with women and Tina sleeping around with men. BUT, Bette’s behavior is in a rather more distant past, whereas in the present tense, Tina has put herself, her child, Bette, and Bette’s child at risk for things that range from the unpleasant to the deadly. And while women can certainly pass STDs amongst themselves, owing to the inny/outy nature of copulation between men and women, there is a much greater chance for certain pathogens, some of them particularly pernicious, like HIV, to be passed to the woman. So, if Tina put herself (and her child) at greater risk than she did Bette, she did still put Bette (and HER child) at risk. And if the point of the exercise is to become a parent, a. a better way than picking up strangers (STDs ain’t the only thing to be concerned about) can be found, and b. parents need to be alive to parent. Plus, who needs a parent who does crazy things like pick up strangers to get preggers? I’ll pause now to take a breath. I hope I’ve made myself clear.
WOW!!!!!WOW!!!!!WOW!!!!! Thank you Ally
Tina has always had unprotected sex.Bette would never call Tina Bitch,I think it was Tinas intervoice. Let hope the men was clean. Lets keep the blood pressure down on both ladies, Bette doe need to talk to someone and Shane is the best. thanks
another amazing chapter ally.there are other ways to get pregrant than sleep with two different men.i prayed that she doesnt have anything and hasnt passed it to bette. bette should be angry/hurt with what tina did and tina should be kicking her self for this too.there isnt any difference what bette/tina did sleeping with some one else.but bette got pregers with a spearm that i bet was check for health issues and she didnt sleep with the guy they didnt touch each other. hopefully they can commincate this and tina didnt catch anythingand they can find there way back to each other. i dont know if i would makelove/touch tina till the results.please post the story has got interesting and everyone is curious where you are going now.
