“I finally realised that I was the one standing in our way and that you were there offering me the life I thought was gone forever.” Bette’s eyes filled with tears.
“Are you saying you want to make it work?” Tina asked, her eyes blurring as she watched Bette struggle with her emotions.
“I’m saying that I will love you for the rest of your life if you’ll let me.” Bette replied as she smiled through her tears.
Reaching out, Tina took Bette’s left hand in her own and ran her thumb over the place where Bette’s commitment ring had fitted.
“We had our issues, sometimes we didn’t even like each other than much.” She mused.
“I know.” Bette acknowledged as she watched Tina’s thumb gently rub back and forth over her ring finger.
“Are you sure that it’s really something you want?” Tina asked as her gaze shifted up to Bette’s face.
“T, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You’re absolutely right, it wasn’t always happy and there were days that we didn’t like each other, but even on the worst of days I still loved you.” Bette replied as she held Tina’s gaze, “But what about you?”
Tina’s eyes dropped back down to Bette’s hand in her own as she took the time to think through what she wanted to say.
“Do you remember that first weekend we spent up in the mountains?” Tina asked before offering up another prompt, “The cottage at Big Bear over labor day weekend.”
Bette nodded and smiled as the memory came back to her.
“We watched those kids getting yelled at by their mother for jumping off the end of the pier.” Tina continued to paint the scene, “And you told me that, one day, …”
“I hope that’s you.” Bette cut in and waited for Tina to meet her eyes before continuing, “Yelling at our kids when we bring them up here for vacations because when I imagine myself ten years from now, the picture isn’t complete without you.” Bette bit her lip as she found herself struggling once more to keep her emotions at bay, “I remember, T. My heart was beating so fast saying those words to you but I needed you to know how I felt.”

Very nice. I realy hope it works for them this time. Love it!!! thank you
i have the same feeling as shane…thank you, this was wonderful
Thanks HG. In many of your stories Bette is the supplicant and Tina is the elusive one who is holding back. This is, of course, also the dynamic to the B&T story on the show itself. I wonder if you could conceive of a plausible story where the dynamics were somewhat reversed. (I am not sure whether I would enjoy it as much, but your writing prowess can convince me of anything.) Thanks again.
thank you thank you thank you
Yes, it is about time that they put their fears behind them. It might not be the right time to live together again, but it is the right time to start spending more time as a family.
I agree with jp22, time for Tina and the baby to move back home. BTW where exactly is the baby? Great update.
Thank you for posting again so soon. It’s wonderful to have the girls going in the right direction. pps
That was great and hot. Please post more, thanks!
They now both going the same way on that one way street. This chapter was great. thanks for posting
I enjoyed reading two memorable chapters in a row. Thank you for taking the time to write and share. Happy New Year!
Lovely, wonderful, perfect…what more can I say. I feel, as I’ve read, I’ve worked through the troubles with them, and with them, I am at peace. Thanks for that Shane denouement, a cherry topping the icing on the cake.
Yeah,about time!! :)
HG just caught up with this story which is a fabulous story beautifully written. I hope u update dis story more regularly as I noticed u started dis story in 2006 so please PPS:)
I’ll admit that I’m pre-period right now, but that brought tears to my eyes! Love your writing….
More…please? Although I admit this chapter ends the story quite well, I still hope for more.
Very nicely done and I agree with Shane. PS
i agree with OneStorm1 nicely done.great to see you back,and please not to long for an update
Maybe it’s not the time for Tina and Angie to move back home yet, after one night, but she and Bette have at least made a start towards getting there. As always, HG, so good. Thanks.
your writing is beautiful.
I love, love , love this chapter. They are finally getting back on track. Still a long way to go but there is just so much love there. More please? PPS
A lovely reunion! Thanks again for taking the time.
Beautifully written, and very moving. Tina’s fear and vulnerability were piercing. With love there is always risk of pain. Thank you for another great chapter.
The way that you write this story highlights the complexity of each character and makes for a great story.
My favorite line: “She knew that there would always be a part of Bette she’d be unlikely to reign in, and while this had an appeal she couldn’t deny, Tina now knew better than to believe they were immune from its less than positive influence.” Thanks!
Sadly, for time, upon reading a love scene between Tina and Bette I did not feel the passion in the reading, because I could not get out of my head that Bette had just been kissing Abby and wanted her in the worst kinda way and actually loves Abby and actually deemed that Abby was a better lover than Tina, so this chapter left me saying Tina you should not be there, Bette is a BIG FAT LIAR, AND DOESN’T REALLY WANT YOU, SHE IS JUST USING YOU FOR HER OWN NEEDS. By the way where the hell has Angie been these last few days?
