Pick-up Styx
Tina finds Bette
chapter 8
Bette’s office at the college
Tina stopped at the door of Bette’s office and watched her former partner working at her desk. Bette was still the most gorgeous person she had ever seen. Tina frowned.
Bette didn’t notice her which was unusual because Bette used to sense the instant Tina was anywhere near. When Tina came into proximity of Bette, she always watched her partner and was rewarded with Bette’s eyes finding hers and smiling. When Tina realized that Bette wasn’t going to sense her presence, she interrupted.
“Good morning.”
Bette looked up, startled that someone was at the door. However, she didn’t seem too surprised that it was Tina at the door.
“Come in. Have a seat,” Bette said pleasantly and gestured at a chair.
Tina sat down and Bette leaned back in her chair and waited expectantly.
“You’ve been out of town?” Tina asked.
“Yes.”
“You didn’t answer my phone messages,” commented Tina, not quite successful at keeping an accusatory tone out of her voice.
“I was on vacation,” Bette shrugged pleasantly.
“Well, you could have answered.”
“Tina. What brings you here?” Bette was still courteous, but was refusing to get into a conversation about why she didn’t return Tina’s calls.
“This,” said the blonde as she handed Bette a large brown envelope.
Bette took it and looked at her former partner.
“It contains adoption papers for shared custody. Everything is signed and ready. All they need is your signature.”
Bette felt that she had been punched in the heart but she covered up by removing the legal papers from the envelope and looking at them. It was four copies of the same document. She leafed through them until she knew she could speak without her voice shaking.
“I’ll want my attorney to look over these.”
“Certainly.”
Tina was surprised that Bette seemed so calm and matter-of-fact.
Bette wanted to ask Tina why she had changed her mind, but decided that she didn’t really want to hear Tina’s reason. She looked at her watch.
“I have a meeting in a few minutes.”
Tina stood up and made ready to leave.
“Could we have dinner Friday evening? You could have checked with your lawyer about these papers by that time and we could discuss the times we would keep Angelica.”

RUTRO!!!! HERE COMES TROUBLE…..LMAO….POST AGAIN SOON ……
I love a little trouble… : )
that’s so funny wildie…”RUTRO” I always say that, but I’ve never seen it in writing! Bring the Senator back and let’s see a doubles match between Bette and Barbara vs. Tina and Helena!
Uh, Oh! Dramarama….What is Tina’s ulterior motive? Pancha….excellent per usual but a little short. You know how you spoil us with longer posts.
I know there is no B&T reunion in this story but if you can please no victim or villain..just mature acceptance of the situation with cordial interaction. Guess you know i hate cruel drama **sigh**
Geez, pancha, this isn’t helping me finish my paper on teen pregnancy, but it surely is more entertaining. I almost felt sorry for Tina. Almost. Glad she’s doing the right thing by returning Angelica to Bette’s shared custody, but this dropping by unannounced makes me feel she’s being a bit devious. And the only thing left for her to be devious about is getting Bette back. We’ll see, but she ought not hold her breath. She didn’t even convince Helena. How about a visit from the Senator soon? Even if it were a surprise, it still wouldn’t smack of underhandedness. Although I’m sure Bette would mind her hand under, over, around, upon, within….
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! I could see Tina showing up out of the blue, but Helena? Was Helena invited? I’m too lazy to go back and check.
Ooooo…Is there going to be drama?!?!You know now would be the perfect time for Barbara to show and just drape herself over Bette of course in a classy,elegant,alpha way! Post Soon!
I have a feeling that Helena’s presence isn’t a bad thing – but Tina? Who whu’da thunk it? What makes her think that just because she signed some adoption papers she can show up at Bette’s house any time she wants?
I DONT BELIEVE THAT tINA WAS INVITED BUT IF bETTE INVITED hELENA AND TOLD HER TO BRING A DATE, Well How about Texas yes. that QB is so young,cute and good. Sorry about your Yankee. thanks for posting THANKS
WTF? Who invited them, can the senator drive up in a taxi about now please????
I am a Tibetter and I know this story isn’t about them but I am hoping Barbara shows up at that BBQ. I bet Helena invited Tina…which I am mad at cause she should have checked that over with Bette even if she told her to bring a date. I doubt Tina is with Helena in this story…she could have came though to get a rise out of Bette since she didn’t get any emotion from her that afternoon. It is time for a little drama…
I’m looking forward to the drama and longer chapters like we’re used to. We’re spoiled.
And just WHO invited Tina with her Man cooties? Knowing Tina she probably got knocked up the natural way….. [lol tina bashing kinda over.. for now.] Seriously though, why is she there? Great update. OH! And I hope Bette told her lawyer to keep a copy of the documents just incase Tina decides to have a fit when she realizes Bette has well and truly moved on
Something is gonna blow up here! I think Kit is on to something–jut not sure of what, though! Great post! I definitely look forward to more BarBette!
I read this because its a great story, but I’m a TiBette person so its hard to read and not secretly root for there reunion. I know I’m in the minority, but I can’t help it. It’s hard enough to watch what looked like a promising series with a stable relationship at its core, turn into such crap.
God I love this story. I love the fact that your Bette is such a strong and lovable character, finally (please) free of Tina. Please have Bette, Al, Kit or anyone put Tina in her place and kick her the hell out.
Oh lord have mercy on Tina’s poor soul!!! RUN TINA. JUST RUN. This is not going to be pretty. Oh Pancha, as a Tina lover,please just let the girls be nice to her. ACt like adults gang(looking @u kit). I love Helena for being there for Tina,cos no one is. I hope Tina turns around and saves her own ass. TheY’re COMING TINA,RUn. This fic is really good Pancha. B&T Drama is always, and i mean always necessary and hella fun. POST SOON!!
Oh and please Tina say something meaningful and intelligent when ppl start asking you questions. Be strong Tina. Hope you tell Bette and Kit,or anyone else where to kiss your bum. Thanks Pancha.
Tina patience is a virtual, dinner with Bette was to be Saturday not Friday, why oh why turn up now, how is this little shindig going to go down. Pancha always full of surprises. Thank you.
Why do I suddenly get the feeling that Tina wants Bette back. I don’t believe she’s with Helena, their just friends. This BBQ should be interesting. Isn’t the Senator married?
Oh my, Tina has gotten quite ballsy since she had time to play with them. I think Bette should reiterate that they are meeting for lunch. And if she was going to bring someone, perhaps she should of brought Angelica!!!
Good chapter and I agree with coop and drama coming. OK post soon please, thanks!
Of course Tina has ulterior motives why else would she just happen to tell Bette that she and Henry broke up. But nevermind all that I thrust you know what you are doing Pancha and so far I have thoroughly been enjoying Bette’s rebirth. Thanks…
I’m here Biased…you’re not alone!
If I were Bette, I’d have those adoption papers bronzed and put away in a vault. A spurned Tina will not be a happy Tina. She cannot compete with Hill, I mean, Barbara. Girl fight over Bette! And it’s about time! Imagine, if you will, exhibit A.: two alphas fighting over Tina Kennard, Bette Porter dousing her fine self and some mightly expensive clothes in a swimming pool, Bette getting punk’d by a run-of-the-mill man, Bette getting froze out, etc., etc. Absurd, wasn’t it? Who was, routinely, the most well-educated, cultured and finest woman in the room? BETTE PORTER! Get up out that water, Bette. Get out of that therapist’s office, Bette! Stop crying, Bette! Get some new scriptwriters, Bette! Hire Pancha, Bette, she’ll do good by ya, get ‘cha a nice senator to squeeze on! …Thank you, Pancha, for having mercy on us poor L-Word’ers. We have been afflicted, lo these past two seasons. Bette Porter is nobody’s second-place finisher. Bette Porter is a winner. Melvin Porter knew what time it was with Tina Kennard. It seems Kit does too! /Rant.
Tina is going to, as my grandmother used to say, “get her hat handed to her.” …and Helena is going to get a new a**hole for chumming along with her. …Love. It!
Bette, just play nice until you get the baby back…I’m just sayin’
