    Author Notes:

    What lies beneath it all.

    As Bette pulled into the driveway she was dismayed by how dark the house looked. Walking up to the front door her suspicions were confirmed, the house was bathed in darkness. She scraped the key into the lock and opened the door, and given the quiet state that her home was currently in she knew that Tina had given up waiting for her to come home and gone to bed. Bette let out a deep sigh at this state of affairs. She wondered how long this could go on for before something had to give.

    Bette wandered into the kitchen, her stomach battling with the rest of her body’s need for sleep. She opened the refrigerator and smiled at what she saw. Tina had made her a sandwich and place a bottle of water next to it on the shelf. She had also left a note asking whether she needed to make an appointment to see her own girlfriend. Bette couldn’t figure out, in her tired state, whether Tina was joking or not. Bette sat down at the dining table and ate her sandwich, the silence not really helping the way that her mind was racing over everything that needed to happen for her and Tina to make the life that they always wanted.

    Bette knew that Tina was desperate for two things to happen. One for her to leave her job at Alphaville. It had gone from something that Tina had lived for to something that ground her down. She had fallen out of love with the movie business and wanted something to replace that. Bette also knew that Tina wanted to have a baby, which was something that Bette had never even considered for herself, but if there was one thing that Bette was certain of, she wanted to give Tina everything that she wanted, and if it was starting a family then that’s what would happen.

    They had been talking around the subject for the last six months. These conversations always started with how Tina was disenchanted with her job. How she wished for something more out of life than the daily commute to work and then the endless meeting with people who she didn’t like, and even worse didn’t respect. Bette hated to see Tina unhappy and wanted to support her leaving her job, but she was ever her father’s daughter and wondered, and sometimes worried, about how she would be able to support them both on her salary. Then she realised that it wouldn’t be just the two of them, it would be three, if things went to plan. This scared Bette but she wasn’t sure how to put those fears into words without taking away Tina’s dream.

    11. I like how in the first chapter that you gave us Bette’s view point and in this chapter we see Tina’s view point. I hope that they are able to come to an understanding.

    18. I hope Tina’s desire for a baby is inate rather than something to do instead of a job that no longer satisfies. And if it is, I hope they come to realize that it is possible to happily have a family in slightly less posh surroundings, should that become an issue. I always thought the TV versions were just a bit retarded on that point. In other words, I hope they can be happier in your version.

    19. it’s great to see you posting again. i like it. bette seems to be struggling with some issues. would we be seeing tina’s pov too? please post soon :)

    21. CG….beautifully expressed as usual. On the TV version, neither character seems to be particularly introspective. They need more dialogue. That’s why in my mind, excellent FF such as yours gives the fans a more authentic picture of the characetrs’ motives and thinking. PPS.

    22. You were able to convey such love, tenderness, doubt and fear in only one short page. This is the crucial point in their relationship where communication and a little help might have prevented their bullet train into hell. Welcome back.

    24. Always love to see a post from you, and it never disappoints! Is this a one off or the start of something new for them to discover?? Whichever – it was great mate.

    29. Love this fic!! Just beautifully written as always. I hope they talk in the morning,because They are madly in love with eachother,but the communication is lacking.

    31. Excellent beginning to understanding Bette’s view of her relationship with Tina. I hope it continues… and I agree w/ superdaddy’s comment- no drama.
