Tina loved sitting in the rocking chair with Angelica in her lap, the warmth of her little body resting against hers, the smooth skin, the freshly shampooed hair, it was one of her favorite things to do with her daughter. The reluctance to go to sleep and repeated demands for the same stories were less endearing, but Tina loved Angelica with all her heart. Angelica fulfilled a deep seeded desire in Tina to have a child to love, nurture and protect and she didn’t regret having her for a second. After Angelica was safely tucked in Tina joined Bette in the kitchen. Bette had finished cleaning up and was making a pot of tea.
“So what did you want to talk about that requires enough Ben & Jerry’s to send me into sugar coma?” Tina walked over to the freezer and took out the pints.
Now that Angelica was no longer distracting Tina’s attention she observed Bette’s hands as they poured out the tea into two cups and put the pot down on the table she took note of the ring Bette was wearing. She couldn’t believe she didn’t notice it before. Tina walked over to Bette and lifted her hand and ran her thumb over the entwined silver bands. Bette observed Tina’s finger going over the cool metal and looked up into Tina’s eyes.
“Why don’t you take some ice cream and I’ll tell you about my day.”
Tina kissed the hand over the ring and went to counter and took out a couple of bowls and spoons.
“What flavor should I be having, the oatmeal cookie or super fudge chunk?”
“How about a combination?”
Tina raised an eyebrow and served herself some ice cream.
“Do you want plain vanilla?”
Bette smiled at the old joke between them.
“No add some of the oatmeal.”
Tina took a can of redi whip out of the fridge and didn’t offer any to Bette knowing she wouldn’t eat any dairy product from of can unless it was on Tina’s body. She walked to the tables with the bowls placing Bette’s before her and then sat down across from the woman whose eyes always told the whole story.
“I went to The Planet this morning before work and joined the girls at a table. A woman came over and handed me her card and Alice made a comment about her not getting the memo or seeing the ring and then she noticed I wasn’t wearing the ring you gave me and she wanted to know why.”

I really liked Tina standing her ground and both of them saying what they really feel – and the hot sex wasn’t bad either. Great chapter. Also liked Bette showing she knows how to be supportive doesn’t mean she doesn’t want what she wants but shows she knows she can’t always be the center of the world – halleluia, true growth for our girl Bette.
It is great to see how Bette has evolved and is being supportive of Tina and her job. I like that they have decided to wear their rings again and agree with Bette that they need some symbol to publicly say that they are no longer available to anyone else. Slowly, but surely, study and straight ahead they go :o)
the rings are back, i have to tell that the little Tina’s speach was lack or seriously, but Bette did the rigth thing! Bette is so understanding with Tina and is because she loves her so much! great post!
Well, I guess ‘too conventional’ didn’t work for me. When Bette wants a commitment ceremony so much, being conventional is kind of lame excuse.
I want whipped cream now. D= I agree that a public ceremony says, “We’re not screwing around. We’re totally serious about being together.”
Yeah, nipples and cream, they should start serving that at Wimbledon. But I have a question: IS redi whip dairy? Well, it doesn’t seem they really resolved anything, but at least they’ve broached the topic, and an important one it is, too. Having been on the receiving end in another era, I was kind of surprised to see Bette find Tina’s hole-ripping persona so enticing.
Tina was a bit flippant with her remark that Bette would be the only 40 something that she would have sex with. I thought it was funny but knew that Bette would not find it funny at all. Bette is really serious this time around while Tina seems serious but maybe is looking for a loophole in their “contract”. Great story.
god i know what bette means – powerful Tina = sexy tina
What a treat! I hadn’t checked for your stories for a while, and logged on to find four!!! I love them! It still surprises me that T isn’t into the conventional ceremony and B is. I do hope these two find a way back to each other. I understand T wanting a new house, but I like B’s point about not sweeping things under the rug. I also like that T is in therapy. This would be good to have on the show. Keep the chapters coming!
Wow, Bette has changed and for the better. I know that they have a lot to work on still but they are taking one step at a time. One way to compromise is for them to buy a bigger house and then have the commitment ceromony. That way both will get what they want and feel is needed to restart their lives as a family.
Good chapter. Good that they talk a little and I agree with nancy720packers and let see whats next, thanks!
I like that Bette is supportive of Tina and finds her alphaness hot as well. Tina needs to drop the bullshit about commitments and make it already. Hell, she should take Bette to Canada and marry her ASAP!
I don’t blame Bette for wanting to know where she stands in her relationship with Tina. A commitment ceremony only seems right after all they have been through ? I have to admit, I like the agressive Tina better than the passive one. And in this chapter, so does Bette! Not to mention that Tina sure does know how to work a can of whip cream! Ahhh…everything tastes better with whip cream…wouldn’t you agree ? Very HOT!! Post again soon.
yeah I’m right into assertive, aggressive, hotttttttttt Tina….and I like the rings back on………..very nice….more
yeah!!!!!!! they put there rings back on that is a start.they have alot of work to be doing and its sad that tina is leaving at bad time,but they will GETA HER DONE! PLEASE POST SOON MADC
Most people I know think that making a public commitment IS different from a private commitment where you put on a ring. It’s more serious and involves more responsibility.
reading again-i think bette really needed patience and should have accepted to wear the emerald ring right then and there-unconditionally-that would show her commitment-seems B is always testing T=that can be very irritating and space invadery.
