After pictures, Angelica was clearly wiped out. Tina picked her up to carry her inside. The girl was out like a light before they even left the lawn.
She was surprised to find Bette waiting for her on the patio.
“Let me take her.”
That request needed little prompting, as Tina shifted the girl into Bette’s arms. “Gladly.”
“Okay, new rule.”
“Yes?” Tina held open the door for Bette.
“She can’t get any bigger.”
“If only we could keep her like this.”
When they got to the room Bette laid her on the bed. “What about the dress?”
“Leave it on for now. I don’t want her to wake up because I don’t know how easily she’d go down again.”
“Good reasoning, Mamma T.”
Tina had taken a seat on one end of the couch. She wasn’t surprised when Bette took a seat just next to her, rather than on the other end or in the easy chair.
“Maybe you should take a nap, too.” Bette turned slightly, pulling one leg up under her on the couch. “You look worn.”
“That good, huh?”
“I just know this is all draining for you.”
“Bette.”
“Yes?”
Tina turned herself towards Bette, mirroring the other’s position. “Why are you here?”
“Like I said, there’s this artist.”
“Bette.”
The smile on Bette’s face didn’t soften the set of Tina’s jaw. “I know I called you. I know I asked for help. I know you thought I should pursue Jodi.”
These were all things that Tina could not dispute.
“And I realized that I’d kept myself running, kept busy. I don’t know. I had a goal and that became the end-all and be-all.”
“Because you loved Jodi.”
“No, that’s what I realized. I didn’t love Jodi.”
This was getting very real. “Bette.”
“Please, T, let me finish.”
“I was going to New York and I realized two things. First, that achieving the goal had become all-consuming to the point that it was never about Jodi.”
“And the second?”
“The second was coming to the understanding that whenever I was lost, whenever I needed to feel grounded, I reached out to you.”

Oh see I think there is a party crashin’ afoot. Please tell me cousin John is taking Bette as his date, so she will be there for Tina. That would just be priceless and Marian would be steaming up the place. Fantastic chapter, I am so excited that Bette laid her cards on the table and was patient enough to back off so Tina would have time to sort her end out.
Fantastic! Thank you
Another great chapter, PSeud. Can’t wait to see how Bette crashes the reception. Marian will have a cow and won’t be able to do anything about it. I hope!! PPS!
This story continues to get better and better, I just love it! Thanks so much, looking forward to the next post,
Yep, I agree…Bette’s going with cousin John! Hahaha just wait til Maid Marian sees that. This story is fun pseud and I wish S5 had played out more like this.
Great posts, really enjoying how you are writing the dialogue, the whole package is working.
Ooooowwweeee, Bette got’s a date. I bet John is going to be her boy date so that she can be in the same room as her real life partner is in. This is getting so exciting, a new beginning to an old relationship/family.
This is yummy! Can I say “yummy”?
Oh that Bette is a tricky one, isnt’ she? John is such a gentleman to let Bette be his escort. Marian should love that. Let the games begin….WEEE!!! PS.
God I love this story. Please post soon and much more. I think I now what Bette will do with Tina’s cousin John… LOL
I’m speechless…this is so great. Bette’s confession was so simple and beautiful. Loved the part about Angelica being their grand gesture.
just caught up….enjoying this turn of events…pps
This is just getting increasingly better. I like the softness of the conversations and the feeling that maybe , just maybe Bette will ensure that Tina will be protected and wooed (hopefully) during the grueling experience that is the wedding.PPS
HEY PSeud, Finally Bette got it. SHe got that Tina needed to hear exactly how she felt. Bette had to open up her heart to Tina to let them move forward. Promising signs abound as Tina now has time to process this news. Can’t wait to find out who Bette’s date is with… Neither can Tina from the sound of things. Interesting times ahead. More please of this wonderful writing and awesoem adventure. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I am really enjoying your story. Tina and I are falling for this softer, more open, there for me Bette. This is the first time I’ve read of the of the grand gesture and attempts to win back Jodi as Bette’s Type-A need need achieve her goals and it makes sense. You are wrong about the need for cliffies, we will come back and read with or without them
Caught up, and absolutely loving it. I hope John doesn’t get it in the neck too bad from Marian for bringing “Ms. Porter” as his date. Thanks for the posts, pseud.
Bette’s going with Tina’s cousin, isn’t she? I love this story! PPS!!
Aww, at last. I am so glad to see Bette put her feelings out there. PPS
ok, holding u up to ur words of making it up in ur next post, which, hopefully, will come very very soon. thanks for another great chapter!
finally they talk! thank you… angie being the grandest gesture was sweet coming from bette…they need more talking but let them have fun at the reception… bette has a date with tina’s cousin.. i’m sure porter will find a way to be there!!!
Love it and Bette is going to the reception with John. That’s what she wanted to talk to him about or he is escorting her to Tina, without her knowledge. Won’t Marian flip? lol!! PPS
great line ” I have a grand gesture. She’s crashed out on the bed, probably flopping like a fish again.”
FABULOUS STORY!!!!! Thank you!!
“Don’t worry about me, T.” Bette gave a wink. “I’ve got a date.” … And its with Dawn Denbo’s Lover Cyndi, right? … ;-)
ARGHH!!! THAT WAHT SHE SPOKE TO COUSIN JOHN ABOUT……RIGHT??? WHEN IS THE NEXT POST????
that would have been nice to haave something like that on my tv screen. instead of the shit of last season and wasted 10 episodes of this season. but whatever. this was wonderful. thx
Pseud, your Bette dialogue here helped put all of Bette’s actions with Jodi on the show into such clear perspective for me. Thank you! How wonderful that Tina got to hear it. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Hey Pseud, Just wanted to comment, I love this story. In fact, I love everything that you write. I can’t wait for another update!
LOL@Nanc! xD So sweet. :D
I have a feeling Bette is going to baby sit and get John to donored some sperm and she and Tina can make a family together, If so Bette will always have another Kennard in her lifeas well as Angie. Maybe not Tina but two little babies Kennard=Porter. Thanks
Damn it, Bette should have crashed the party just to piss Marian off some more. Not that that would be hard. But I suspect she’s going to babysit. Or is she going to cook something up (another baby?) with Tina’s cousin? God, how many question marks can I put in the same sentence?
That was good!
