    Realizing – Chapter 8

    8

     

    Tina stands there, staring at Bette, tears streaming down her face.

    “Tina.” Bette says a little louder. It gets Tina out of the little trance she got into the moment she saw Bette. She wipes some of the tears away.

    “I…” Tina starts.

    “Come in, it’s cold outside.” Bette says and pulls Tina inside. She closes the door. “Now, please tell me, why you’re here at midnight.” Bette says.

    More tears keeps coming. “Tina.” Bette says a little louder, starting to get impatient.

    “I… I love your smile, I love your eyes, I love your laugh, I love to watch you sleep, I love it when you run your fingers through my hair, I love you hands.” Tina fires away in a rapid speed. “I love your voice, I love the way you walk, I love how you move on the dance floor, I love your heart. I love lying next to you, I… I love you, I love you, and I’ve missed you so much, and I’m so, so sorry.” Tina finish quickly as she has to take an extra deep breath to catch her breath. She tries her best to dry the tears that are flowing again.

    Bette is stunned and shocked. Tina is standing there like she’s done something wrong and just been caught. She’s waiting on Bette’s reaction. Bette turns and walks over to the couch and sits down.

    “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that to me, or anything remotely close to it.” Bette says after several minutes of silence.

    “I think I have a pretty good idea.” Tina replies silently. She walks over and takes a seat on the table facing Bette.

    “Tina. What does this mean?” Bette asks.

    “I don’t know. What do you want it to mean?” Tina asks softly.

    “I want it to mean that we try again. We try to be a family. But, I’m sure I’m ready just yet.” Bette says.

    “Okay.” Tina says.

    “Have you talked to Martin? Since you’re here at midnight.” Bette says.

    “Yeah. We were in bed, talking… I told him I had these feelings for you… then he said he knew. He wanted to know why I was thinking about you, what makes me attracted to you, and I started to tell him, then I suddenly stopped. I had to tell you these things, not him, so I left.” Tina says.

    1. OMG, I’m stressing here. First Tina finally goes over and admits she loves Bette and wants to be with her, then you throw this wrench in. Cruel, just cruel. Please,please let Tina consider going with Bette to London it would really be a fresh start for them.

    2. I would love to say, “OMFG I can’t believe Bette said yes.” But really, I’d probably have said yes a well. I mean, think about it. A crapload of money for 1 year of work. Plus, they can webcam each other every day/night. The 8-hour time difference would suck though. And yes I’m aware that I say this as a person who has no children. It’s totally hypothetical for me at this time.

    3. Bette!!! TAKE THEM WITH YOU!!!!!Uhhhhh, Lauren…. I cannot believe you stopped right there! You tryin to kill me or what!?! … Mannnnn!… Now I gotta wait for an update. Great chapter by the way! =)

    4. This is actually their original plan. Tina gets to stay home with Angelica while Bette earns the money. Peggy is probably prepared to house them too so most of their money will go into savings. This allows them to really focus on each other w/o family interference. I am not happy that Tina wants to keep Martin in her life, Bette’s already told Tina she can ‘t watch the two of them together, it hurts too much. Tina has to know that Bette doesn’t want to leave(she didn’t want to go to San Fran) and that this must be an incredible offer. It would almost be irresponsible for Bette to decline this offer.

    5. at least bette asked and i hope tina will go with her, they just found out that they love each other still, it would be cruel to separate them and also from angie who adores bette

    6. VERY Interesting chappie Lauren. Girl, “You got skills”. I hope that Tina and Angelica go with her, if nothing else it will allow them both to form a deeper bond with Angelica so that she will less lightly to be insecure if either of them have to leave or go away later. This seems to be a pivtal time in Angelica’s life when she needs to be close to them both :o)

    7. *hand raised* I’ll go Peggy…I wouldn’t mind. If it is for only year and the pay is all that…Hell yeah Bette should go…and if Tina is smart she’ll go too. They can look at it as a learning expierence for Angelica while she’s young. Is Tina still at the studio in this story? (I forgot) but if she is she can read scripts over there…maybe even shoot a film. This is a no brainer…but something tells me since this is fan fiction some drama will come with Bette’s hasty decision.

    8. Another nail biter ? Lauren25, you gotta stop killin me! LOL! Okay, I hope Tina will think about going with Bette to London. For the kind of money Peggy offered Bette, I don’t know how she could refuse? That’s alot cash…..I hope it all works out.

    9. “Tina. What does this mean?” Bette asks.”I don’t know. What do you want it to mean?” Tina asks softly. …doesn’t that sound just like our tender, even-keeled Tina from S1? Remember when she cooked dinner for Bette and made her announcement? Damn, I miss that Tina! Her unconditional love of Bette was a touchstone for me, and I’m sure for most viewers. There won’t be enough money in the world for Bette to make up for the time lost with her family. She should turn down to offer, or relocate them all . I wonder if Martin has something up his sleeve besides pancakes and bacon. Thanks!

    10. I think London will be a good place for them to start over as a family. It may help them get over the events of the past. So I think it’d be good for Tina to go along…maybe take a year’s sabbatical, since money is obviously not a problem.

    11. Say yes Tina please! definitly is a big step for both of them but it will help them so much be in other place far away that the place where the problem start! i never imagine that Bette will ask Tina to come with her! excellent!
