KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in," Bette yelled from the couch, too uncomfortable to try to get up.
"Hey Bette," Shane poked her head in first through the open door. "Thought you might like some company."
A weary but grateful smile appeared on the face of the very pregnant mocha beauty. "I would love some company," she said letting go of a deep sigh.
"Cool," Shane smiled walking through the doorway followed by Carmen, Alice, Dana, and Kit.
Chuckling Bette gave her friends a look of gratitude. "I see you brought the cavalry with you."
Shane shrugged her shoulders. "Well, I just thought…you know."
Her eyes tearing up, Bette whispered. "Yeah, I know."
The women quietly shuffled into the livingroom of the house that had been their second home for so many years now. Each one taking a position either right next to Bette, or on the coffee table in front of her. Each making sure they were close enough to be able to touch the woman who had always been the leader of their pack.
They gathered here, in the home that had held such love, such warmth so they could grieve together on the anniversary of Tina’s death.
It had been one year ago today that Tina had been killed by a drunk driver on her way home from work. One year ago that the light that had always shone bright from her eyes, illuminating Bette Porter’s life, had been extinguished, plunging her soul mate into complete and total darkness.
It happened on a Friday evening. The man who hit her had stopped off at his favorite bar for the special 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. An hour, and four gin and tonics later, he got into his car believing that he was sober enough to drive…and then proceeded to cruised through a red light without even slowing down. Afterward he had claimed that he looked down for just a moment to change the radio station, and didn’t even see the light. And, just like so many others who cause so much devastation through their carelessness, he came through the crash without a scratch. Tina however, died instantly when his Mercedes SUV plowed directly into her driver’s side door.

What a wonderful treat to see a post from you. Can’t wait for the next one.
Awwwww.
If I was at home alone in my apartment, I would be sobbing…wailing even. I’ve got enough eyeball sweat for all of your fans. And on a silly note, “Each making sure they were close enough to be able to touch the woman who had always been the leader of their pack,” I heard “vroom, vroom” right after I read that line.
Damn that made me cry. You write so well seahurst and I’m always glad to see a post from you. Keep them coming and I’ll always be reading.
Hey Sea, it was a treat to see you posted and as expected you did not dissapoint. Glad that you are back :).
HEY SEA! IM SOOOO GLAD YOUR BACK….I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO POST MORE… WE LOVE OUR TIBETTE SHIPPERS…. I WAS ALMOST CRYING MY EYES OUT ABOUT TINA…
A chance to read one of your fics from the very beginning! Because of your rep, you are on my very long list of authors to read! This was so sad, yet there is also hope in the pending baby! I truly would love to see you continue this soon!
Wow… that was a surprising post…Sidebar, sorta: is it weird that I prefer seeing Tina dead to seeing her straight? Hm. Anyway, fantastically heartwrenching. Can’t wait to see how you finish it.
you killed me a quater of the way down!
My heart is torn into pieces!
Hey, you’re back! Yeah! Glad to read another one of your posting!
i’m too sad to comment or is it my tears that blind me?
Seahurst, so so happy to see your post. This story is kinda bittersweet, and I can’t wait for the next chapter. Love your writing lots!!!! Thanks!
Well, Kleenex just made a mint of money. Guess we all were reaching for them Sad but beautiful. thanks
This is a very sweet story, and I was reading everyone’s heartfelt reactions, and then there was Lament..and I started laughing..ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh!!! I don’t think there was a motorcycle anywhere in this story. Seahurst, I think you should give Lament a time out. Really, this speaks of the beautiful places we all want those we love who have passed, to be.
First, I love your writing but I had this thought for my story and then realised I couldn’t cope if for either one of the girlz to die so canned it…sorry sea I started to read and couldn’t get thru it…can you please write something with them alive and happy or close to happy, please???????
Deeply touching – my partner and I just went through a cancer scare and the thought of losing her scared me deeply – this story touched that nerve and you wrote it beautifully.
You made me cry… I’ve missed your writing so much… I dont drink, but I see so many ppl at the hospital that are a victim of alcohol… Addicted or inflicted, alcohol truely kills when its ab/misused… Tina… Oh T… T.T
Good to see you. Wow, Tina bought the garden! Will she continue to make guest appearances? I look forward to watching this unfold.
Good to see you back seahurst, hope this story doesnt reflect on someone in your life that you loved and lost because of drunk driving. it truly reminds us of how life can be taken away from us in a flash
Hey Sea! Love your writing as always!
bowing down as always. you are great. thanks.
I was really sad that Tina was no longer walking this earth. Too many have died at the hands of people not just drunk but not paying attention. If I had a wish that it would be for Tina to walk amoung her family and watch them grow.
what a sad situation! Tina is gone! and Bette pregnant becuase a child was Tina’s bigger dream so sweet!
OMG why did you make me cry? OK. This was yet another touching and like someone else said bittersweet chapter. Although Tina was not there in physical form she’s still there. And the fact that Bette feels Tina will make this a wonderful experience. Now I just read the last two chapters, and I honestly don’t feel like I read something from someone who is having writer’s block. Please continue!
This is sad and I agree with Michellia and thanks for sharing this story with us. Damn drunk people, and please don’t drink and drive, thanks!
Thank you Sea!! I hope things are going well.
WOW!!!!! Seahurst so sad but Great. Thank you PPS
Hey Seahurst, Wonderful to have a new post from you which resulted in my happy dance. Still getting funny looks from folks at work. No caring as immensed in your fabulous fan fiction. That was awsome and heartfelt. You are the mistress of emotion and demonstrate all the senses and feelings that are present. There was a real tenderness and gentleness in this tale. Thank you so much for returning and providing this delightful interlude to my day. Your Loyal Fan.
Some comments crack me up… “Could you please make it a dream?” Of course, I totally share that wish and would love it to be a dream…;)! But I gotta say, even though I hate to have Tina dead, I also think it’s very beautiful to explore what would become of Bette and the emotions felt on both sides… Of course, nobody wants it to happen, but isn’t it simply amazing to explore that possibility, even if only for the beauty of the emotions? … And I’m certainly glad that you, Seahurst are doing it! I love the title and hope that this leads to forever! Thanks a lot…
It’s great to see you back Sea! This was great. Only one request: don’t make it a dream. Post soon!
Dead Tina? Well….thats a tear jerker – NOT! Cant wait to read the next one!
Yes Yes yes she writes and its wonderful. Thanks Seahurst Thanks
I love love your stories, but just can’t read this one. Too sad, I just scanned through it. please let it be a dream..
So sad…..so very sad!!!!
Thank you for the heartfelt story that evoked many emotions….sadness and happiness. It was wonderful to see a post from you – please grace us again with another chapter.
I thought of all the 9-11 children, born after their fathers had perished. Death doesn’t have to be an end. Love is more real that the very earth we stand on, or the air we breathe. Love is the context for everything we know and feel. Death is but one moment in an entire existence full of meaning and experiences, and you handled that moment with lightness. Your focus is on the love, and love is eternal. Looking forward to the next chapter! Thanks!
So very sad, but beautiful too. Hope and love shine through.Thank you for writing.
Oh wow. A nice start Sea, but soo sad!
Hey where did my comment go? To Tina’s paradise per half..lol. Here i go again…Heart wrenching and just achingly beautiful is all I can remember. Glad you dust off those blocks and return posting. Thank you!
I love your writing…I am a little sad for Tina to be dead…can this turn into a dream or something…maybe Tina can be in a coma from the accident and Bette is having a dream of what could have happened…just like I hope they bring Dana back in season 4…it’s too heavy.
DUDE! you’re killin’ me but as always, i loved it.
Soon as I read the words “since tina death” I pause for at ten minutes eyes close in all, scared to go b on reading…I cant take this sadness
