    Author Notes:

    Tina tries to get to grips with everything that’s happened. Post S6.

     

     

    Tina and Bette stood still, facing each other, not really moving. A lull had fallen. Tina was unsure of what to do. The worst of her fears hadn’t come true, but obviously all was not well. Bette blamed herself for Jenny’s death, and even though Duffy no longer suspected anyone – or so she said – Bette was still burdened. Yet, in spite of this, Tina was glad. At last, Bette had confided in her, and any remaining doubt she’d had about Bette and Kelly was gone. Nothing had happened, she knew that now. And gone with the doubt was the last of the fear, deeply-buried, only kept alive by the knowledge that Bette had been keeping something from her.

    This was the end of it; there weren’t any more secrets between Bette and herself, and Tina couldn’t help but feel happy about that, in spite of the seriousness of Bette’s revelations. She looked at Bette, taking in her slumped shoulders, the eyes clouded with guilt and apprehension, and felt a rush of sympathy, mixed with shame. How could she have thought, really, that Bette had been going to confess to something worse than what she had? Bette had been struggling under the weight of her secrets, and she’d ignored the signs. Anything more than what had transpired, and Bette would have completely fallen apart. It was so obvious to Tina now. Bette had never lied to her. Kept things from her, yes. But never outright lied to her face. That was one thing Tina could rely on. But couldn’t Bette see that blaming herself was no good? What sense did it make? It had been ruled a suicide.

    Tina shoved these musings aside and accepted that as the truth for now. What Bette had said to Jenny… any one of their friends might have said the same, under the circumstances. And for Jenny to have provoked Bette by mentioning the failed adoption, well, that was far more cruel than anything Bette had said. Tina didn’t know how she might have reacted herself, but she knew it wouldn’t have been pretty. But the might-haves weren’t the reality. What Bette had just told her was.

    1. Tina is certainly the stronger one here. I hope Bette becomes Tina’s strength at some point because she needs some support to. I also hope Tina give Kelly a few words. Great Chapter.

    3. Your stories always put me through the wringer – and I mean that as a compliment. ;-) This chapter finally allowed me to exhale. I’m glad to see Bette finally letting go of the burden of her ‘secret,’ and Tina giving her family comfort and solace. You write very well, thank you for sharing this story!

    4. omalley, burdensome secrets press on the heart in ways that seem to crush the heartbeat from one’s heart. Bette will find relief. Haven’t kids said to their parents,”I wish you were dead.” and maybe the parent does die soon after the wish. It is just circumstances. Unfortunate circumstances. I am enjoying this story. Maybe one of the others killed Jenny?

    5. i like this… at least it explains what could of happened… and tina id def the strong one… bette will come around… now lets hope arron believes tina about the tapes… pps

    6. I love how you write Tina – strong, has integrity, listens, takes action, loves her family, etc. You also show how well she knows Bette. In that knowing, she makes decisions to show her love to Bette and the family. Very nice touch in the story.I think Laurel H would be proud of your portrayal of the Tina character.

    7. Thanks for update. I hope Bette continues to share what she’s thinking and feeling with Tina instead of sliding into depression over this. I think we all have the fear that the last words that we share with a friend or loved one will be negative and we won’t ever get the chance to apologize. Hopefully Bette will realize she was just being human and reacting to Jenny’s craziness.

    9. Wow, Tina knows how to protect her family, more specifically Bette. I am so glad that Bette trusted Tina with the truth of that last night of jenny’s life. Now, maybe they can truly move forward with their lives.

    10. So happy to see Tina pick up the pieces and finally understand that Bette had nothing to do with the death ofJenny. If Jenny died by anone’s hands other than her own, it would have been Nicki. I will never believe that anyone of the regulars capable of murder, no matter how angry they were with that idiot. and as Phyl said, anyone as disturbed as Jenny was quite capable of suicide at any point. She was so duplicitious with everyone. I think Shane should be the one to return the film to Aaron, not Tina because that a–hole Aaron would never believe that Tina didn’t take the film. Either Jenny or Nicki took the film and Shane should return it since it is in her house. Hopefully Bette will regain her solid footing before too long and help Tina with all the details of moving to New York because she can not continue to carry the burden of everything by herself. She needs support too, hopefully Bette will remember that as well the rest of the friends and family too. Thanks for posting.

    13. Yes…that’s what I was hoping to see from Tina! Omalley that chapter was brilliant. I have a feeling that smooth sailing is not quite on the horizon yet and Bette may have to provide a little support to Tina. Will they believe it was Jenny…or will Aaron think it was Tina…we’ll have to tune in to the next chapter to find out!

    15. Hey omalley, Thank you for this fantastic fan fiction. You have crafted an honest and true follow-up to the series finale. You have kept the adult tones and been realistic with the characters; faults and all. Good to read that Bette and Tina are beign so truthful with each other and moveing forward together. Brava! MAny thanks form Your Loyal Fan. PS _ Can’t wait to read more.

    16. Oh Wow! What a great update! Thank you am so glad that Bette was finally able to tell Tina her secret and Tina took it so well. Love how Tina is so strong for Bette. I hope with that Bette will come to terms with it. Thank you again for this story :)

    17. Tina’s a rock, isn’t she? I’m glad she’s taking charge, but she’s not unbreakable. Who’s going to be there for her? She was one of the few people that could bear Jenny toward the end, and even that was done after she found the negatives. And even now, she’s trying to grieve, but it’s hard… I hope putting the film into Shaolin really is the start of Tina moving on. Great update, thanks for posting.
