Tina smiled, she too was filled with a happiness that had been making her giddy, it had her walking on air to be able to spend so much time with Bette and Angelica, as a family. Since Bette’s break up with Jodie the feelings of guilt that had been constantly hanging over her like an ominous cloud threatening rain had dissipated. But she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of anxiety. Surely this was their last chance, they had made it through so much hurt and pain, she worried what would happen to their family, to Angelica, if such hatefulness were to return to their relationship.
Bette could see the uncertainty, clouding the edges of hazel eyes that had moments ago been clear and joyful.
‘You’re scared’ It was a statement, not a question from Bette.
‘Aren’t you?’ Replied Tina, incredulously. She felt guilty for having let these thoughts enter her mind, but they were not doubts. She knew she loved Bette, knew what she was feeling was not borne out of the thrill of the chase or regretful nostalgia. Still, the stakes were high and she didn’t think she could go through another year like that which had just passed.
"Tina, I’m terrified. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, but I’ve destroyed you once and I live in constant fear that I am going to do it again. I don’t think I could live with myself knowing that I had caused you so much pain again."
"Then tell me Bette, why is it going to be different this time?" This wasn’t a challenge from Tina, a rhetorical question to make Bette realise that nothing would be different, she actually wanted to hear how it woul be different, to be sure that they were making the right decision going down this familiar path once more.
"It’s going to be different this time because I’m so afraid to hurt you again. I’m so aware Tina, painfully aware, of what life is like without you. I think that when we came back to each other before Angelica was born it was because we didn’t know how to be without each other, we were lost and we didn’t have a choice but to return to one another to find ourselves. Only that kind of co-dependence isn’t healthy and it sure as hell isn’t sustainable. But now…" Tina watched as Bette’s eyes swelled with a happiness and pride she had missed "But now, I look at you and I know that you can live without me. You’ve been doing amazingly, being a great mom to Angie at the same time that you have this job full of responsibility. And I… well I learnt that I can live without you too, I found a way to fill my life and I was ok. I never thought I’d be ok…" Bette paused, aware that what she had said thus far hadn’t sounded encouraging, but she pressed on. "Now, we have come back to each other because that is what we wanted. We chose this Tee, we experienced life without one another and realised that it just wasn’t as good as life with each other. We are together because we want to be, not because we need to be. And the two of us, stronger than ever individually means that the two of us will be stronger than ever together as well. That’s what’s different this time"

I’d love for you to branch out but please stay in Tibette land. PS.
Aww. That was amazing. Branch out of TiBette? Please don’t. We are a loyal crew who need some happy fics. Although, if you just mean add other character from the framily in to add in other storylines I’m cool with it. I just don’t want to see you break-up TiBette or stop writing them completely. You capture them so well that would be a travesty. PPS.
by branch out you mean once in a while add some characters, then return to tibette land sure! lmao’, as you can see, we want it soely to be on tibette, altho I don’t mind every once in a while other characters pop up. PPS, this is interestin, I have said this, and I will say it again, for the first time I can honestly say I love jenny, S5 jenny was awesome!, apart from when she was with Nikki, Urgh never liked that woman. Anyway Im disgusted at shane, how she gon stoop so low, and yet its true, she was the most loyal friend yano. My heart did break for Jenny, first shane n nikki, then changing the ending, thas shitty
Wow that was amazing, what a night??I love them together God, you did a wonderful job, so please continue, don’t stop here.Poor Jenny I think she has nobody she can go to.
I hope branching out of tibette land doesn’t imply parting our couple. I wonder what is going to happen with Jenny, I hope that she is coming to Bette and Tina for comfort and not because something has happened to Shane. Hope to see more soon!
Isn’t it funny how what goes around comes around. Jenny messed with Bette and Tina and made them out to be some monsters in their relationship but went to them in her desperate need. As beachlife said don’t mess with Bette and Tina.
I sure hope you continue…and I hope it has B & T…..you can have others with them…nice story.
That was awesome! What do you mean you want to branch out of tibette land? I want tibette! I want tibette!
Don’t mess with bette and tina!!! awesome story…. jenny shows up and bette and tinas????
This was so well written!! Keep going…keep going…please!
Great start! But you got me confused – branch out of tibette land? I follow beachlife – DON’T MESS WITH B&T.
Now that’s what I like to see! Some good hot lovin’. 5 years in the making! As long as Tina and Bette are around in some prominent capacity, I think branching out is good. Can’t wait to see how they deal with Jenny.
Can you branch out in some other direction besides Jenny, cause she’s a buzzkill.
This was great. But, no,no,no, their can be no branching out away from Tibette.
very nice and i went back and read your Bali chapters as well. hope you continue both story lines.
I just caught your update and had to come back and read the first chapter.This really helps with the Tibette withdrawal syndrome. Loved that they talked, more like real people. Thanks for sharing.
That was great and hot!
Dont feel bad for Jodi she needed to go,..that dance sequence in s5e12 was the absolute best moment of the show and season 5 was the beat season hands down, but what happen to Jenny was just pure wrong during all seasons girl never got a break.
