    Author Notes:

    Read Chapters 18 and 19 first. This is Chapter 20

    The officer was back knocking on Tina’s window. She collected herself and opened the car door, turning to face him.

    "I’m sorry to have to ask you…" he said. "I can escort you to the hospital. We need to have someone offer a positive identification."

    The anguish of identifying Bette as the victim of this accident threatened to overwhelm Tina. She was sick with grief. Sick with regret. All the opportunities she let pass by over the years flashed through her mind like a dream. The  resentment she had harbored only served to keep them from finding each other again. The thought of having to tell Angie occurred to her, and she knew she had to be able to say with certainty that it was Bette. It would save Kit from having to do it.

    "Yes, I’ll go to the hospital," Tina controlled her breathing to be able to respond to his request. She was still too emotional to even think about making any calls to their friends or to Bette’s family at this point. She’d wait until she was done at the hospital.

    "Take a few minutes so that you feel more comfortable driving," he said sympathetically. "Can I get you a bottle of water? I have some in a cooler in my squad car."

    Tina simply nodded her response. She had to steel herself for what would be only the first item on a list of heartbreaking tasks she’d have to complete over the next few hours. 

    *********

    "Tina called; she’s caught in traffic," James noted Bette’s demeanor as she strode past him. "What’s up Bette?"

    "Someone. Stole. My car." Bette replied in a measured tone. "I’ve been with campus security and the city police since I left. I got to my parking spot and the only thing there was a big gaping hole where my car should have been. I obviously never got to my meeting."

    "Tina should be here soon," James assured her. "You two can go for lunch and have some downtime. If you leave me your insurance information, I’ll get everything straightened out by the time you get back. And if they don’t provide a car, I’ll make sure there’s a rental waiting for you by the end of your work day."

    1. It was great to find put that nothing happened to Bette. But even greater to read the phrase ..”… a spoiler for future stories..” Future stories! Yay!

    5. I’m. So. Relieved. (Sigh) But that was quite a scare, jks, and you had set it up quite well. =) For a moment there I thought that Angie’s fear that one of her parents is going away that’s why they’re suddenly spending so much time together, might be a foreshadowing. But I didn’t sense any hint of tragedy in the past chapters and the story’s title implies nothing but new beginnings. Everything is okay now though. Thanks a bunch, jks! =) (Btw, thanks for replying to my jks question and kudos to your meticulousness!)

    7. PHEW!!! … I was so afraid that you might be IC in disguise!! Getting my heart broken after they killed Dana in the show!! I was so worried it might happenned again but in FF this time!! *big sigh of relieve* luckily it’s not!! :-) called me has little faith or weak heart or whatever… I will admit that I turn into FF because I miss Tibette and not to get more broken hearted stories of them since there’s no indication of the movies or continuation of the show… So I always appreciate the people-the authors, including you JKS… Who is sharing their talents in writing, and mostly is by sharing the dream of Tibette and their love… So, thanks for the updates! And mostly BIG thanks by keeping them alive and in a heart warming full of love environment!! :-) now… I still telling me: just keep breathing! and let my little weak heart recovered … ;-) PPVS..

    11. YAY!!!! Thank you for not killing off our girl…I just knew you would keep her safe. Too bad Tina had a crap scared out of her, but it seems to have given her a little motivation to move things along. Can’t wait for the next chapter. doing a happy dance now. :)

    12. Just got caught up again. I knew you wouldn’t kill Bette! I’d very much like to read about Tina showing Bette (in very private place) her gratitude that she’s alive . : )

    18. Huge sigh of relief. I couldn’t concentrate at work and I kept refreshing the site. All is well in Bette and Tina land and now I can go back to work. Thanks JKS!

    22. Had total faith in you! Just wondered how you were going to clean up that mess and you did an awesome job as always. Great update and even greater story. Can’t wait to see what Tina has up her sleeve. Looking forward to the weekend as I await your next post.

    23. From devastating grief to relief and elation. That was a hard thing for Tina to experience, but it worked out okay in the end. I thought it was a car thief/jacker/general hoodlum. I see that Tina is making the most of her second chance. Thanks for the post, jks. :)

    24. That was a relief. However, I didn’t really think it was Bette because if Tina was on tht freeway to get to her office, why would Bette be going past where the university is located to get to her office knowing Tina was on her way to her office. Anyway, Tina does not have to face that awful ordeal of identifying her body and she still has the love of her life waiting for her. Your save was wonderfully written as is the entire story. Now just waiting for the next chapter that will give them a wonderful time together and a glorious weekend. Thanks for posting.

    27. I kept reminding myself, this story is called ‘a second chance at forever’ so bette couldn’t just go and die on us especially not like that. So I am thankful Bette is more than fine, gave us all a little fright. Sometimes horrific tragedies or near death experiences bring us closer together than we could ever imagine. love this story
