"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
“Tina…, she will help you…, you know she will, I know she will…” Alice was saying words that she knew nothing about, she didn’t know, I didn’t know…
“Not this time…” I said quietly, it was a fucking disaster…
“How can you say that…?”
“Do you know what she told me today…” I sniffed, casting my mind back to just this afternoon, when she had got up from the blanket at our picnic…, “she said she’d love me forever…”
“There you go…”
“Not now…, I can’t do it…”
“You can Tina…”
“I thought maybe earlier, when we had that time together…, it was so emotional…, all of it…, but you know it felt so…”
“Right…?”
I looked at Alice then, as much as I could with eyes swollen like mine were…
“Yeah…, it did…”
“You just don’t get it do you T…?” Alice said with a look on her face that I hadn’t seen in such a long time…, it was a mixture of disbelief, intrigue and a sense of calm…, Alice with a sense of calm…; it made me smile at the thought…
“What don’t I get Al…?”
“You two…”
“What…?”
She sat on the coffee table in front of me…, she had been the second person I had thought of, the one I needed to come to…, after…, after…, I couldn’t go to Bette…, not now…, she’d never forgive me this…, I wouldn’t be able to do go through with it…, not now…
Alice interrupted my thoughts as she began to answer…, “you two…” she laughed and shook her head, “you just are…, you know…, god… T…, you are just like a necklace and a pendant…”
“Al…, you’re not making any sense…”
“Just listen okay…, then tell me if you disagree…”
“Okay…”
“You two…, are like a necklace and a pendant…, and while attempting to be and to remain true to your individuality…, each of you…, you and Bette…, you have to recognise and to accept that you are forever collectively joined…, you know…, like the necklace and the pendant…”

OMFG NO! i had to go back and reread the last sentence again cause i thought i was reading half asleep.okay jo give that DAMN hat back and NOW. p.p.s.
I hope after all the drama they can end toguether lol what a mess!! Can’t wait to read next chapter :D
OH NO. Please… Let her be wrong… If she’s PG, then Henry will always be there, lurking in the corner… You can’t do that! A baby would link them forever! And I think, in reality, B would never see this baby as her own… T left her for that guy! Okay, she’s been trampled on and she’s defeated but she’s still got some pride…Let’s be realistic guys, she would never see the baby as her own…and I wouldn’t either…
I knew it. I so F***ing knew it. This is great :-)
OMFG!!!!! You that was just what I thought was going to happen. But you did not have to do it. Mean Mean just Mean. I hope they do not to that on the show. Thanks Jo
She’s pregnant? Presumably with Henry’s child? Ew. Something about that guy just grosses me out…
How will this ever work between them? Please post soon
Mizzzz…I mean it! You just can wait until tomorrow to post again… Everybody works tomorrow!!!! God! We can´t read this kind of thing working, girl…It´s too much! You´re so cruel!
Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats thats thats thats… HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your great story!!! but please, don’t let bette have to raise the child of stupid henry and tina hehehe
whoa…
I really don’t believe that you actually did that to them. I just don’t believe it. Oh gosh.
Conducting the story the way you did these last two chapters was surprising, yes, it was. You got what you wanted – make us wonder what was about to happen. The presence of this level of unexpected facts in a story like Hindsight tortures us. It’s a drama story intrinsically, and you spiced it up a bit more adding ‘the unknown’. Jo, again I say that you play easily here with us and with words -You kept the information with you for the most you could, greatly, never making us lose interest. We are now avid for more, very good, as usual.
OMFG…have to be honest, didn’t think of this for a twist, but you’ve some explaing to do – how and when did Tina found out??? I mean it’s only 7 hours since she left – Ed should know stuff like this LOL!!! I don’t doubt for one second that Bette will be there for Tina and little Kennard, but Tina will resist and thinking she doesn’t deserve Bette I’m sure. And M&M; the comment about foreskin was….nasty!!! LOL. More, more, more…..stay home tomorrow (today) and write!!! :o))
OH,shit. I had a feeling. Jo, why’d you go andthrow that in there. Like these two didn’t have enough bullshit to deal with.
damn jo seriously i was sorta thinking that but i was like no way…it was leaning towards what bette was thinkin!! ahh u cant stop there jo!!
UUGGHHHH!!!!!! Yikes! Henry just totally grosses me out for some reason (other than just being with Tina)! Yet another possible result of unprotected sex with the first (in this case second) man you touch after deciding you “have all these feelings!” ;o)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, IT’S A MISTAKE
Oh fuck fuck fuck fuckkkkkkkkkk why the hell is happen to them, shit drama keep coming!
Crikey! I didn’t see that one coming!! I so hope that Bette doesn’t push Tina away! Post soon….please!
Oh Shit!!!! I love the drama! Yes! Bring all of it Jo, ALL OF IT!!!!
Oh F**K, Oh F**K, Oh shit, you are one evil woman, what a chapter, so how is this going to work out PPS
Oh. My. God. No.
You still have a mean streak.
OMG. This isn’t going to work out for them at all.
Hmmm, you mean she didn’t know this earlier? That she took a pregnancy test between leaving Bette’s and talking to Henry? If she knew before how could this not factor into her behavior before?
I knew it!!!!!! pps!
THUD! OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Ya know, as I went on reading…I had this feeling that would be it! Now is the time for Porter to step up and support! Love the baby as your own and still be together!
I knew it, as soon as she couldn’t be w/bette after she broke it off w/henry….omg Jo, what the fuck are you doing….omg, this is so great, well not really. Take that bloody drama hat off and give it to ummm, well not ally for sure, ummm send it to the far east….just get it the hell off your head girl!!!!!
Aha! I knew it! Fuck! I got to breathe… I think I´ll go outside for a while… Gezzz
I knew it!!! LMAO… Jo, that line about the foreskin… shit, that was just hilarious. Just what I needed at that point. And let me tell you – it doesn’t happen very often that I need something with the word foreskin in it. LOL… Okay, so Tina’s pregnant… I hope Bette can find room in her wounded heart for another mini-Tina… Thanks!!!
After the initial shock, and then nearly flatlining from heartbreak, I began to ask myself some questions along the same lines as lwsho2005 did… how did Tina find out that fast, and why would she just randomly take a test to see if she was preggers? So, did she know before? Questions, questions, and I need answers… Jo, I swear, you’re going to be the death of me…
NNNNOOOOO. NNNNNOOOOOO. NNNNNNOOOOOOO. Tina… you have a CHOICE! Or maybe your body will expel that henry spawn. Or … uuggg. i hate the thought of henry being in tina and bette’s soon-to-be (hint to jo!) happy life together!! that’s it, no more talking to ally!! lol. great story!!!
My first thought was, “So? People get pregnant all the time.” Tina does have a choice here but I’m not going there.
Damnit!!! I knew that you were going to do this. The more I thought about it the more I got that sick feeling in my stomach and heart. How can you do this to Bette and Tina after all of the emotions that they poured out to each other? How can you do this to us? I am sooo bummed, but I will not give up faith in Bette and Tina.
Now her boy toy will be in her life forever. That is a kick in the gut. How will Bette react Will she hang in there or will she run. They both do that so well. thanks for posting
i knew that!!!!!! so, what? bette knew tina was sleeping with man, now they will have another baby…don’t make bette run away
I love the drama but as I was reading I actually guessed that Tina was pregnant. And I was right! I never can figure out what is going to happen but I just had this feeling since Tina wasn’t bleeding. PPS.
youreally want a battle of the drama queens Jo ? hell- i think you’re spending too much time talking to me
AW SNAP, I TOTALLY GUESSED IT! LOL, ok, now Jo, you know that wasn’t very nice to just throw the fact that Tina is pregnant at us and leave it there… You’re enjoying that Drama Queen hat WAY too much, mate. Fabulous as always. Kettle x
OH GOD!!!! I kind of figured, but then the suspense was so intense that I feared it would be something worse, and by the end of the chap’, I was desperately hoping that it was the pregnancy thing… Okay, it’s definately a huge thing to work through, but I trust them (and Jo) to work things out together! Definitely! I mean, all this angst through a resolution to end things like that??? No, I have faith… ;) Oh, and Tina seems to have something with her face, so my theory is that she somehow got herself in some kind of small accident that sent her to the hospital, where she needed some tests done and… BINGO! “Miss Kennard, don’t you worry about your baby, it’s fine!”…”My… my WHAT???”… Hey, but wait, it’s not that long ago that Tina left, it could still be Bette’s baby!… Oh, fuck… No, it doesn’t work that way… Sorry, I keep forgetting… ;)
Damn, I can’t believe you went there! Now Henry will always be in their lives.
Oh Jo… Those words just exited my mouth in a whisper… Oh Jo… How do you do it? You never cease to amaze me… You know how I feel about your writing, right? PPS!
Have just caught up with the last two chapters – holy smoke Jo – you’re putting my emotions through the wringer. A whole weekend thinking the worst had happened and now this! But they can work it out, can’t they? Terrific story.
Hi Jo, Congratulations on the well deserved award. Your writing just moves so many people. And as for these last chapters, the rug has been well and truly pulled from me feet. Thank the stars for Alice. Her support and prodding got Tina to tell Bette the truth. I could feel the tension and desire that Bette felt as she rushed to Alice’s. The bargaining was choice. What a twist so these gals to endure. I know that they belong together and hope that Bette see this as the gift it is and not a tie to Henry forever. Of course, Tina has a choice to make but I hope that she manages to talk things through with Bette first. Caring your fears, concerns and laying yourself bare are the acts of a lover and someone intent on making this realtionship work now and in the future. Can’t wait until you post Bette’s reaction to this blockbuster news! Magnificent writing and perfect plotting. Thank you so much, Your Loyal Fan.
So you really are going for the Drama Queen thing. As always great chapter. Looking forward to more.
Holy Fuck . I did so not see that one coming. You certainly do wear that hat well. Standing O.
Oh God! No! Well Jo you certainly are bringing on the drama! I think now it’s upto Bette to accept the baby like her own and support Tina.
i can’t believe it! i can’t believe it! suddenly when i thought that everything will be better, Tina is pregnant! i don’t know about Bette’s reaction but i hope they can handle this situation. You have in the edge!
HOLY FU*K…..THUD!!!! PICKIN MYSELF UP NOW, UM…OH HELL……I LOVE THIS FIC……GOSH……
LMAO!!! Jo, I just read Ally’s notes on the latest L&P… Seems that you woke up the dramaqueen beast!!! She’s all worked up now… I love that she feels (and knows) what a competitor you can turn out to be!!! That’s gonna be one interesting battle, I love it! Told you, you can do anything! YOU ARE THE MASTER!!!
fuck shit…henry’s and no abortion i’m betting so where to from here…u r too cruel.
