For the Love of You, Revisited post 17
Shane waited with Tom and Max for the police to arrive. She couldn’t grasp what had just happened. She did not see it coming and she was a very good judge of people. How long had Jodi been sick and she didn’t realize it. She had answered so many questions about Bette and Tina without even thinking. She could have been a party to harming their new baby if Jodi had been successful with her plan.
She watched silently as the police arrived and arrested Jodie based on the testimony of Helena’s security chief. Tom was devastated, he and Max left right after Jodie was taken. Shane was not sure of what kind of reception she would get from her friends and sat on the beach.
She was surprised when a shadow fell and she looked up to find Jenny standing there.
“Not much fun being the pariah huh?”
“No not much.”
“Why did you bring her here? Even I could see that was a bad move.”
“She is…was…my friend. I don’t know the woman I saw tonight.”
“You didn’t turn away from me when I had my break down.”
Shane was silent.
“I can’t believe that Bette is pregnant.” Jenny was still trying to absorb that news. She heard that they were thinking of having another child and that the plan was for Bette to carry the child but it still surprised her.
“Me either” Shane confessed with a slight smile. “Oh my God, she almost poisoned the baby. If Helena hadn’t been having her watched…” Shane choked back the tears.
“Hey” Jenny held her. The comfort was more than she could take. The tears began to flow. “She was there for me. I told her things I never told anybody else.”
“Not even me?” Jenny was surprised.
“I talked to her about you.” Shane confessed quietly. “I told her that I am in love with you.”
“I know that you love me.” Jenny scoffed.
“I am in love with you Jennifer Schechter.”
Tina caught up with Bette on the trail.
“Bette” Tina called.
Bette stopped and from the set of her shoulders Tina could tell she was crying.
“Hey” she pulled her into her arms and held her as she cried. Once Bette was calm enough she guided her up the trail and then onto the patio. She sat her down and got her some water first checking the bottle for tampering. Rather than take the chance she got her water from the tap with ice.
“Can you talk?” Tina said after watching Bette struggle to regain control.
“Did I do this to her… make her crazy?” The vulnerability of the brunette always undid her.
“No Bette. You are a very powerful woman but making someone crazy like that is not one of them. Crazy in other ways maybe…” Tina teased.
The tension broke. Bette’s ghost of a genuine smile emerged and suddenly Tina could breathe again.
“I was so scared” Tina whispered. “I lost it.” Tina looked away fearing the violence of her reaction to the threat to Bette and their child.
“T…I have never felt so protected in all my life.” Bette cut through every doubt with that simple statement. She felt the ebony eyes will her to look up. The love and gratitude she saw there caused her breath to stop.
Just as she moved to close the distance between them Alice burst onto the deck.
“I can’t freaking believe it. Are you two alright?”
Tina settled onto Bette’s lap as the rest of the crew barreled up the steps.

Hahahaha….another impeccably timed moment from Alice. Thank you for posting again Kelika, you just made my night! Fabulous story!
Great chapter as always. Looking forward to more.
K, you always leave us wanting more. I so love it!!!! The way you write Alice is so Great!!! THanks
Well, as usual I was a number of chapters behind. This is such a loving tale of taking care of one another. Tina will do anything to protect Bette from others. I think even if Bette’s was not pregnant she would continue to fight for them. Can’t wait for the wedding and of cours the child of their love to enter their lives.
Great update! I am Loving the path your leading us on! I can’t believe that Shane still thought it was ok to bring Jodi there…
That our Alice with her famous BAD timing. It is sad that Shane would be so lost that her “Yoda” ways would not detect Jodi beubg up to no good. She really needs to go and talk to B&T now rather than later. After seeing Tina in the “Protective Mode”, I dought that anyone would dare approach her about not sleeping with Bette tonight.
Ahh Alice you missed the fun scene lol!
yup, Alice is right there when u don’t want her!!!! Love the T & B relating. PPS.
Shane seems to have many poor judgment moments so her and Jenny shuld be IDEALLY suited.
Poor Bette I can imagine what she is going through, and no one can blame her for thinking she was the one who drove Jodi crazy, I mean the woman is not sane after Bette broke up with her, thank God Helena was there, thank you so much for posting, I really love this story and it’s taking a very interesting turn, I just can’t wait for the wedding, but I hope you will continue to write this story after the wedding ends, you still have a lot of things to tell. You are incredible.Love
Hey. You have done such an impeccable job with this story. The updated version is even better than the first and I thought the first was fabulous! I’ve finally caught up with this; I’ve had no time to either read or write but your stories always lure me back to the site. Thanks so much. Lin
Damn it Alice strikes again i swear she has a radar on bette and tina,lol..WOW miss yoda is coming apart, what happened to her insight geesh… awesome update :)
As always Kelika another wonderful chapter. When Tina launched herself from the bushes to attack Jodie she was once again my hero, my Alpha Tina showing her love for her family and protecting her wife and HER child, as she should have done. And this chapter where she realized the fierceness of the moment and of herself and it frightened her that she could be so fierce. When your family is attacked in any way the alpha comes out n all of us and rightly so. Tina is my hero. Can hardly wait for more. Post when you can.
Alice really knows how to ruin a moment. I’m glad Shane is feeling some kind of remorse it means she really was taken by crazy Jodi. I know the gang cannot seriously think that Bette and Tina are going to sleep apart tonight after all the craziness that went on.
That Alice—- Bette didnt make her crazy, she was well on her way before she even got with Bette. Bette was the straw, thanks
As always Alice has the worst timing. I am glad that Jenny went to Shane and now I wonder where they will go from here after Shane’s confession. Fantastic writing!
