Bette checked her cell phone before walking out the door and, seeing that it was a message from Candace, deleted it without listening to it. But as she drove away, her mind raced, wondering what she had said.
“No…NO!!!!! It doesn’t matter what she said! It’s over!!!!!”
At 1:00 a.m. the night before, Tina tossed and turned, restless and sleepless on Alice’s couch. Once again, her thoughts were consumed with trying to figure out what had gone wrong between her and Bette.
And what did she want now? Her feelings were mixed—she missed Bette terribly, yet she hated herself for even entertaining thoughts of forgiving her or even reconciling with her. But she knew part of the motivation behind that desire was because of her secret—another insemination done without Bette’s knowledge. When Bette had told Tina that she wanted them to try again to have a baby, she hesitated ever so briefly in her response, not wanting to tip Bette off that she had already set that process in motion. She felt bad about lying to Bette about it then.
But that same night, only a few hours later, she found out about the affair.
She had seen Bette and the carpenter talking just outside the entrance of the CAC. At first, she noticed how close they were standing to one another, which struck her as odd. Then, she saw Bette pick up the pendant from Candace’s cleavage and lay it back down, her fingers remaining there moments longer than they should have. Tina couldn’t believe what she was watching. The last straw was watching Bette holding Candace’s hand, slowly releasing it as she walked away, and the carpenter’s lingering gaze as she leaned against the wall, watching Bette’s departure.
As she relived the events of that time—something that had become for her a nightly ritual—she felt like such a fool. There she had been, comforting Bette, thinking that when she found Bette huddled in the corner of the shower, it was because she was stressed out over preparations for the show. Tina bitterly shook her head, recalling that she told Bette she’d take care of her when she crashed after the night was over!

great update!
wohoo, that was really good. you should totally write away, finish it up to enter the contest:) i myself wouldn’t join, because as your heartwrenchingly good story reminded me, it was all just too much…i felt torn between wanting bette to move on with candace and wanting her to fix it with tina. and eveyone got hurt, and it just sucked. gee, the L word is like sesame street, with a moral at the end of every episode. ‘save up for two cookies instead of eating one now’, ‘look both ways before crossing the street’, and of course, ‘don’t cheat on your pregnant girlfriend even if you didn’t know she was pregnant.’ pps! gooooooo team!
“Even as she saw Bette recoil from the blow, she had no regrets–she knew that the sting would go away far before her broken heart would heal.” What a powerful statement……I like the direction that this is going…..So many gaps you are filling in…….Great update now get to working on the next chapter!!!!!!!!!
This is excellent arkaycee, so listen you your woman and get to writing…..pretty please!
You’ve got two days to finish up. Your chappie 1 inspired me to throw my hat into this so….get crackalaking… Actually you inspired me to start writing in the first place. See what a monster you created
