LOVE AND PRIDE Chapter 39
For Helena dinner was fascinating – she watched with affection how Bette was looking at Tina. Bette was utterly devoted to the blonde – every time Tina spoke Bette would beam with happiness and pride at how well Tina was being judged.
Helena guessed that it was an odd experience for Melvin – the old grump was on him best behaviour and that was always funny. A couple of times Tina had asked him questions and his usual answer would have been a grunt but every time he remembered himself and replied with politeness – even friendliness.
Who knew that Melvin Misery Guts as Helena had nicknamed him – could be so determined to make a good impression on his daughter’s girlfriend ?
Peggy – as ever was being her oil on troubled waters self . She was chatting merrily to Tina who was slowly beginning to come out of her shell. She has even managed a couple of playful asides about Bette which had made everyone smile.
But Bette — Bette was gazing at Tina with sheer devotion in her eyes. Helena guessed that the reason Bette was eating her sweet with one hand under the table was that she was holding Tina’s hand.
Helena tried to assess how Tina was doing – she looked older than she had in Lancaster. How she must feel to have been rejected by her family just was so alien to Helena – it was going to be a long time before Tina was back to her usual self.
But if anyone was going to get Tina through this crisis it most certainly was the devoted brunette. Helena admired Bette for the mature way she was conducting the first relationship she had been involved in. Certainly she was love struck to put it mildly but Bette was also sensible when they had talked the night before about how Tina would be feeling about the horrible situation she had been forced into.
The meal came to an end – Tina had cleared her plate – the old fashioned mother in Peggy was delighted to see that. “You stand a chance when you are eating “ her grandfather had said frequently.

The two are really sweet. How they handle each other shows really as they love themselves very much even if they are so young? So hopes continuation follows of my favorite author soon.
I’ve a feeling the vengeance Bette will wreak upon Tina’s mother will be terrible, unless Tina stays Bette’s hand… not to get all medieval or anything. I hope Tina’s dad comes to the fore at some point, I’d like to see how he deals with everything. Nice update, ally.
Bette is sweet and gentle, that how could you not fall a little deeper in love with her ? I know I am, after reading this story. Tina is very brave to show Bette her bruises and the tears shed by Bette, just show how much she loves her. Sad and beautiful. I agree with you Ally about Laurel not having enough screen time in S4. I miss Tina and can do without Max. PPS.
Yeee Defo more Tina, Great chapter
I just got the last episode today (overhere season 3 still has to come on) and I’m so in for more Tina en less Max! But a little less of Jenny is also good. I love all your stories Ally, I love this side of Bette.
Yeah, minimum Max. Nil would be optimal. Wonder if the boss will still think Max is the fair-haired boy. Pretty sure his daughter doesn’t.
Great author note and a very sweet chapter. Glad Tina decided to tell Bette everything, more please :o))
yes, definitely more tina and spread the laurel love. she’s a great asset to our community. your stories are all terrific. thanks so much.
You must have a warm hart, those two are simply adorable together. Thanks for the beautiful update.
i agree with you ally!!!!!!!!!! MORE TINA,AND LESS MAX..SO FAR SO GOOD #4. THXS FOR THE UPDATE ALLY… P.P.S.
And no one can blame dear Bette for falling deeper in love with each moment spent with sweet T. I feel so bad for Tina – her mother is just not right. It’s so sweet the way Bette’s dad, Helena’s mom and Helena have welcomed Tina with open arms. It has to make Tina feel a little better. I know being in Bette’s bed will help her through the night. I love your writing and your stories Ally and I agree…more T, no Max. IC did us all an injustice with the direction she has taken the story for Tina. Holloman lights up the screen and that should influence IC get her on it any way she can. Thankfully all I have to do is read your wonderful story to have the pleasure of seeing the beautiful sight of both Holloman and Beals on the little screen inside my head! LOL! They are definitely an awe inspiring sight on screen together. Ahhhhh. Thanks Ally!
With you on all your s4 aimed points. And robbeedee about how Tina was looking at Bette at the mixer… kinda made me go, “Wait, what was that?! What was that look?!” Most likely wishful thinking, but still. As for your story, I love these two. Bette’s so strong, and it’s amazing that Tina can trust me like that and that she can take it. Brilliant and so wonderfully romantic.
The tenderness of this story – it brought tears to my eyes. Yeah, I could live without poor Max and more Tina too.
Gonna have to sort of disagree about the no Max thing. I actually like Max this season. Papi was cool for one episode but I’m over her so less Papi and more Tina. As for this story, I know Bette is livid over what Tina’s mom did, but what would she do for revenge? Blow Tina’s mom’s head off? Bette’s too young and cute to be behind bars. I love how they’ve found each other so young. I wish I had had things figured out when I was that age. Maybe then I wouldn’t be the shy asshole I am today. PPS!
I met my girlfriend when we were studying maths in college. Maths can be very sexy. 28 years later and we’re still together. We have two great kids and still love each other dearly. Life can be a fairytale. I agree: less Max + more Tina = a great show.
I’ll hop on the bandwagon of less Max this season…it might be less Max anyway when his boss finds out what happened with his daughter. Max might find himself jobless and floating in a river…I love this story…Tina is lucky to have a girlfriend like Bette who is caring, passionate and willing to move heaven and earth to make her feel better. More please.
Hel Ally-I agree that the show could use less Max (even though she/he doesn’t have tht much screen time), but believe or not I’m really not missing Tina all that much. I must still be bitter about how she treated Bette b/c whenever she comes on screen i immediately clinch up and roll my eyes at the screen. I even enjoyed the last eppy where Jenny completely went off on Tina b4 the BBall game. But I still think Laurel is a great actress. If she weren’t i wouldn’t react the way i do when she is on screen, right. Another great chapter of love and pride by the way so keep writing. Thanks!
One other thing….BOSTON ROCKS! I went to school there and lived there for 5 yrs.
I agree with you Ally, More Tina and no Max. Enjoying all your stories, as I am a huge Tibette fan.
I’m enjoying season four, too. But, I’m all for more Tina, less Max!!!
O’ you, wise woman!!! Agree with everything you said! And about this chapter… Aaaawwwwwwwww….. Thanks!
You’re the tops Ally – and yeah, to more Tina, no Max – and I haven’t even seen Series 4 yet!
I’m totally with you Ally! No max, more Tina! Thanks for another wonderful update!
Really enjoyed the update.
Yes more Tina no max and henry please lol, thank you . This is so sad, poor Tina. Good that Tina tell Bette everything and love the way Bette help Tina get through this and the love they have is amazing, love them. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Shame no. 1, her screen time can only be counted by seconds, not minutes. Shame no. 2, even when she has, can you imagine how lame her lines could be? 2 abortions, still identify a lesbian, lesbian is a political statement?! No backstory, no follow-up as usual. Utterly out of context, out of character, out of nowhere. What is the point? Does it help the audience to understand more about the character? Does it help to tell the story? No, none, not at all.Pheww, I feel better now! Sorry Ally, I got carried away. Back to your story, I so wanted to bring Tina into my arms when she showed her bruises. (Oh, easy Porter, just kidding!) It is very heart wrenching to see how she has been hurt by her mother, and disowned by her family. But Tina, don’t worry, “you stand a chance when you are eating!” Roast beef sandwiches will do you well! Thanks Ally, wonderful chappy as always. PPS, thanks.
Hey Ally, will read your story next but have to agree on the whole Max and no Tina scenario. Think that it is indicative of the whole return to heterosexuality deal with Tina. Remember that this is supposed to be a show about lesbians so Max’s journey is probably easier to tell than Tina’s. Atm there isn’t much drama in Tina’s life with Henry; everything is peachy keen, Jelly Bean. As a writer you have to follow the action and that’s why Tina ain’t got much screen time. Better if she would realize what she has thrown away (there was hope in last week’s episode when she first caught sight of Bette at the mixer); go after the new and improved alpha-Bette and just put a smile on all our faces. My two cents is spent. Still am loving your take on Bette and Tina coz it is just how it should be. Love, love and LOVING between them. Grats from Your Loyal Fan.
sweet…i love these 2.
