Chapter 28
Tina sat and looked out to the abyss of the ocean.
It was the same place she had sat at the previous day, the day of reflection on her appointment and the current state her life was in.
For some reason the beach and ocean had a draw today as well, and that’s why she had asked Bette to meet her here. That’s if she got the message of course, having left it to during the early hours of the morning when sleep had evaded her.
She hoped Bette would understand…, those thoughts and feelings that had been coursing through her since the appointment, since meeting her, meeting Lily… They were thoughts and feelings that wouldn’t shift, she needed to sort them, process them in the best way she could.
Despite the time alone since the previous day it was still difficult, tumultuous feelings, torn feelings…, but…, for some reason the thought of seeing Bette today was putting a spin on her whole outlook.
She wondered whether she could be honest with Bette in as much as how guilty she had been feeling, the guilt with regard to Lily and her diagnosis and Tina walking out of the hospital with her life being handed back to her.
Bette parked her car and glanced out to the expanse of ocean, she wasn’t sure where exactly she would be meeting Tina, just here…, somewhere…
She locked the car and walked down the steps towards the beach, her eyes taking in each figure and thankful that the beach was not busy so that she didn’t have to scan the faces and figures of hundreds of people milling about the sand.
She glanced to the left, her eyes searching but not finding, she glanced right and knew immediately that the figure sat alone hugging her own knees was that of the blonde woman who had invaded every waking moment since meeting her.
Bette walked slowly towards Tina, she felt how the increase beating in her chest became more apparent the closer she got the figure and she couldn’t help but allow the smile to cross her features, she’d missed seeing Tina, irrespective that it had only been the previous day that she had seen her.

Fabulous as always Jo. This story tears at my heart on a few levels. Lily, what can be said about this woman that most who have read don’t already feel or know. She is a gem, and I have been fortunate to have known a Lily in my lifetime whose example of love, life, and friendship nurtured me in my younger years. She passed away of cancer when she was only 40 years of age, but Ness and I recently went to the home of her parents, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, and her her mom was just a much older version of the woman I had come to love. In this fic, Bette and Tina have learned quite a bit about how fragile life and love is, you are doing an extraordinary job with this, and I look forward to seeing how you bring this to a close. I also can’t wait to see what you have next in terms of your creative writing. Thanks again.
I just love this story, sad as it is right now. I hate to see it end, but I know you’ll give us all something elso just as great. Thanks!
I hope you won’t end this story too soon. It is one of my favs even though it is dealing with some pretty heavy stuff. Maybe that is what I like about it. I hope we get to see some of their new start and how they will be there for each other after Lily dies. I am sure that will bring them even closer together.
this is a fab story, and I really wish you would not end it. What type of cancer did Tina have…there is so much more you can write here…..please think about it some more and continue with the story.
Hey Jo, you can’t just wrap this up – B&T have basically just met, and they’ve been putting off getting to know each other because of everything that is going on with Lilly…and Tina. I’d like to see this story develop a lot more – it is one of my favorites and I am always looking for an update. But then again, I’m always looking up your stories because they are all so good!
There is so much to your story and its end will be such a lost. Just one here that looks forward for an update everytime. Maybe you will change your mind?!
Always glad to see your name. A name that signifies TiBette and tenderness
Great to see the update. Hope you decide to keep this story going a little while longer. I enjoy your stories.
Wrapping up??? You’re kidding, right? There are so many things still hanging in the air! Jo, you can’t just rush to an end, here. You’re such an amazing writer, that it doesn’t seem fair to leave the story with so many loopholes, dear friend. Lily reminds my beautiful Marsha and I of an extraordinary friend that I (Lucero)have in the U.S. She could see through me and believed in me, even when others didn’t. The polio stroke again on her, but that doesn’t diminish her cheerful character or complaints about her illness. She’s 82 and has been our inspiration to be the best we can be in life and learn everything new that can be part of the process of our growth as solid and reliable people. This story has left a mark on us, because it has taught us that second chances can be so real and at the same time, they can be the true love of our lives. Nevertheless, we have to respect your decision, regardless of the reasons why we think you should extend yourself a little, to do justice to the story. Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
Jo, please don’t rush the ending to what has been a beautiful and amazing story. Take the time you need, we’ll all still be here.
Amazingly written, I love this story it really arouses so much emotions within me, you can truly sense the love that they share in your soul. thank you dear and welcome back.
Finally, Tina is going to end her marriage and be with the woman who makes her heart beat faster than if she ran a mile in record time. Lily slowly dying is got to be especially hard on Bette and I am glad that Tina has chosen to be there with Bette during this lonely and sad time.
I Love this story. I try to read all the stories on this site, but there are only a few that I really really look forward to seeing an update on, this is definitely one of them. I have loved every single one of your stories and hate to see you end one because you don’t think anybody is reading it, we are. Please continue I really want to see where this is going.
Oh, nooooooo ! Jo, please, don’t tell us you’re nearing the end with this story !… Ok, well, I’ll be completely honest. To me, this story of yours started as one of the best fan fic I had ever read, perhaps even better than “Do you remember when ?” or “Hindsight”, but then as you introduced the character of Lili, I thought it got a little… slower ( for lack of a better word ) but again, I really really like this story and I still think it’s got great potential as I really love the way you’re portraying Bette and Tina and their past… That being said, I would be glad to read a brand new story from you, Jo. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.
so glad to see another update! But i’m also so sad to read that your thinking about ending this story, i hope you’ll still change your mind
I also look for updates everyday on this story. It is one of my favorites.
Oh what a great way to start my day! Jo, I will be sad when this story ends. It is one of those who I can’t wait to see updates. I do hope though, that you keep writing… your stories are just amazing! Thanks!
Hey Jo, Great to have you back and posting more of this tender and emotional story. This chapter was full of genuine feelings, missed opportunities and baby steps towards reconcillation. Bette and Tina needs to communicate about exactly what they are each going through. All to often we try to avoid hurting our lovers by omitting the truth but this just drives them away. It was inspiring to have these gals on the beach and begin to open up to each other again. More please. Many. mnay thanks for crafting and nurturing this magical romance. I love and adore it. Your Loyal Fan.
This would be a hard story to write as it is reading. Bette and Tina will have a fresh start and itwill give Lilyi peace of mind knowing she will leave her Bette in good hands. thanks
Wonderful to see a post of this story. So sorry you will be ending it, it has been a joy to read about our girls in a story w/o all the problems they have on the show, etc. Lilly is an amazing woman and one that everyone should have in their lives. Such a moving and loving story.
I’m sad to see this one winding up. Its a heavy read. Not exactly light fair with cancer, divorces, ex-mistresses, and the death of Lily looming. I think this is a really good story. However, I think some page view drops are likely because heavy chapters aren’t exactly things you reread over and over. They are powerful. One viewing often lingers with you. I hope that if you do wrap this one up..that you stick around and write more. The show is finally giving us some B/T for inspiration..and you are absolutely talented. PPS.
plz bring tina back from guam soon…
Brilliant chapter. I am so thrilled to see Bette and Tina dating again after the latest dramas. Lily is amazing and I am hoping that Tina will be there for Bette through it all.
Good chapter. Hope everything is good for Tina and glad she will be there to help Bette with Lily!
