If it makes you happy – Chapter 10
Abby woke with the dawn, well before her alarm was due to sound. She turned over to see Bette sleeping quietly. This simple sight caused something to twist deep within her. Something told Abby this was wrong, that it was dangerous. As much as she wanted everything to work out between them, the cold, hard light of day led Abby to the realization that the chance of that outcome was almost non existent.
Turning away from Bette, Abby quietly slipped from the bed being careful not to wake her sleeping lover. She went through the motions of her morning routine but this morning everything was an effort. Her mind kept churning over the conversation she knew she must have with Bette. The one where she laid it all out on the table and got some indication of her girlfriend’s intentions.
She was pouring herself a coffee when she heard the alarm sound from the bedroom. The noise finally ceased as Bette must have located the off button. Next came the sound of the wardrobe opening and closing, then Bette appeared wearing Abby’s own dressing gown.
“Hey” Bette said sleepily as she closed the distance and kissed Abby lightly.
“Morning” Abby replied as she retreated from Bette and busied herself retrieving another coffee mug. “Coffee?”
“In a minute” Bette replied as she held out her hand to Abby.
Abby placed the mug on the counter and let herself be guided into Bette’s arms. She sighed heavily as Bette held her close.
“Everything OK?” Bette said as she kissed Abby’s temple.
“I’m not sure.” Abby replied.
Bette’s arms remained around Abby’s waist as she pulled back to look at her lover. “That sounds ominous.” Bette said as she watched her girlfriend avoid eye contact.
“Probably best if you take me up on that offer of coffee before we get into anything.” Abby said as she broke free of Bette’s arms and made short work of filling the empty mug before handing it to the woman before her.
“Thanks” Bette said as she took the mug “Why don’t we sit and you can tell me what’s on your mind?”
Abby nodded and moved silently to the dining table. Bette followed and chose to sit opposite her girlfriend.

If I were Abby, I wouldn’t trust Bette’s words that much, either. Abby is a nice and intelligent girl, but Tina… sigh… I still want Bette and Tina together. With Angie it’s a family.
Abby’s doomed… or, at least, the way the story should end in my mind, she is. It’s B&T, and what she said about Tina being Bette’s wife and mother of her daughter seems to be the real issue here. How do you dismiss that? I feel pretty badly for Tina, too, though; she’s kinda in a weird place. Sigh…. looking forward to more, of course!
My goodness, I get a little slammed at work, don’t check the site for a few days and see that I missed four posts! That was a welcome surprise. I wouldn’t want to be in Abby’s shoes right now, then again, I wouldn’t want to be in Bette’s either.
Will Abby dig her heels in and fight for Bette, what is Tina’s masterplan for getting Bette back? or am I being presumptious…Looking forward to reading more. Thank you
Bette & Tina, Bette & Tina, Bette & Tina, Bette& Tina
Tina, do the work and be honest with Bette. You dis her, humiliated her and purposely tried to hurt her. You really want her back, your family back. Grow up, fess up and see if you can get there. Bette will decide about Abby. You need to be done with Henry and anyone else.
well if it don’t feel right-then it probably isn’t right-sorry abby
MORE!
I know this is hurt Abby but she need to break it up with Bette because Bette still have feeling for Tina and they have a baby together, so why don’t she let them have a family again and she will move on and will find someone to have a family with. OK post soon please, thanks!
I’ve only just caught up with your story. I think it’s really great.
Seems like Abby can read the writing on the wall. She truly does care about Bette cause at the end of the day I think she wants what is best for Bette–Tina of course :). Thanks for posting.
DEAR ABBY:RUN FOR THE HILLS WOMEN AND FAST!!!!!!!!!!this is a hard situation to be in an dabby is right she cant compet with tina/angel. please post soon hacker
poor Abby, she sounds really nice…I feel for her even though I’m a Tibette thru and thru, I don’t like to see a nice person hurt…great story, please post soon
I have no problem with Abby being a nice person, life happens to nice people too. Abby knew going into her relationship with Bette that there were some unresolved feelings there (When ever a person is still stinging from the hurt, it spells unresolved feelings.), she also knew that Bette loved her daugther. If she truly loves or even cares for Bette, she wants the best for her as well as herself and stringing alone there relationship, allowing things to get bitter in NOT godd for either of them. If Tina is Bette’s soulmate (and she is), them Abby needs to bow out or step back to give them a chance to work it out. Life is too short not avoid messery. Hack, I am liking the sory , please continue :o)
Bette is in denial, Abby is not. It is what it is :o)
Abby just needs to stay her course and leave…she can never be Tina.
I’m disappointed in Bette for not going back home to be with her daughter after she said she’d rather stay home. I’d rather not deal with the love triangle (?) at the moment so I’m focusing on cutie-pie Angelica and hoping she gets to spend lots of time with both of her mommies.
Hiya HG, That was heart-breaking as Abby’s is starting to go on instinct and realize that Bette’s heart belongs with TIna. It is funny how Bette cannot see the wood from the trees here but Abby is spot on. Abby is willing to give Bette the space to assess her feelings and future relationship with Tina. If someone doesn’t complete your soul clinging on won’t overcome it. Seeing Tina’s desolation at Bette’s non-return was particularly poignant given the simultaneous conversation Betts and Abby were having. Tina just needs to hang firm and wait until Bette comes round. They needs to decide what it is they both want and then go after it with passion and love. Can’t wait to see where this enchanting tale leads to next. Thank you for sharing it with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Just a drive by comment. I know the last time I said pish posh Abby should get a clue but I have modified my views just a little bit. Abby needs to back off a bit if she intends to stick around in this story. First she should listen to Bette. Bette just got out of a relationship where her partner practically walzed all over her; broke her so to say. So Bette would definitely not be all keen to fall in love all over again so quickly. Ergo the hesitation in saying she loves Abby. Now whether or not Abby stands a chance I think the story would be more interesting if she were to change her tactics and risk putting up a fight for the woman she claims to love. Thanks
Poor Abbey. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Hackgirl, you know you have a good story when we have sympathy for Bette’s new girlfriend.
wow. its something when you know you cant win no matter how much you want to. sometimes i feel that profoundly. thanks for the update.
Great big ginormous love may seem romantic until it goes wrong, and it can go so wrong that it CAN’T ever be put right. Self-respect, while not so glamourous, is important, too. So too bad for Ally and too bad for Bette. If I were Bette, I would have sheltered my daughter and committed to Abby instead of trying to build foundations yet again on the shifting sands that are Tina Kennards emotions.
Red sky at morning, Abby take warning! …Hackgirl, your regular posts are a respite from the summer heat. Thanks!
man this is hard, I don’t want Abby to get hurt, I kinda want Bette to have a future with Abby, but I also want Bette, Tina and Angie to be a family. How bout all of them living together…..lol…nah that won’t work. ABBY NEEDS TO DO WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO 4 HERSELF. BUT I WISH U’D SPARE HER THE PAIN!!!!! And Tina hunny, wake up, u do care so it will hurt!!!!
I don’t think Abby should fold quite yet, but she is going to have to be a good bluffer to conceal her jealousy for the next couple of interactions. I think she should stay in the game and see how the cards…or Bette’s feelings, unfold.
I’m with slipperynipple! I am feeling Abby and she should definelty fight for her woman! I’m riding with Abby 100%! Post soon!
they will never stop caring for each other, that’s the problem…and even though abby seems nice, tina and angie will always be between them…i think it’s time for all of them to choose what they want…and i also want B&T together
I understand how Abby feels, but if she keeps questioning Bette she is just gonna drive her away. It’s not like Bette invited Tina back to a 1 room apartment and they have to share a bed. This is fan fiction…Abby might still have a chance. It might be a very small chance but she has one.
Dear Abby: Run! Please post soon HackGirl.
Abby, dear, put a fork in your relationship w/Bette. It’s done.
abby is no fool i luv ur writing HG
