“So, what is it about then?” asked Bette.
“This is about you and me working together as a team to get us back to a place that you are comfortable in thinking of us as a married couple again and that I am comfortable that you have truly forgiven yourself for all of this *****” she said, nodding her head in reference to everything around them.
“It seems to me that this is my battle to fight, T.”
“Why?” asked Tina as she reached over placing her hand on Bette’s thigh.
“I just feel like I got us into this and I should be the one to get us out of it” she tried to explain.
“Well” she said as she smiled at Bette, running her hand up and down her cheek. “It seems to me that that is just the kind of thinking that got us into this trouble to begin with.”
Bette said nothing, just allowed Tina’s words to absorb in her stubborn brain. Turning her head to Tina, she saw the woman that she loved more than anything that this world could ever offer, and recognized the gift that she was being offered. It was a gesture so grand that she, in her normal way, had almost steamrolled right through it.
“You’re good, you know that?” Bette said as she smiled at Tina, reaching up for her hand that was caressing her cheek.
Tina watched Bette and saw the flicker of understanding that she had been hoping to see. Smiling back at her she said, “You did moan something about my being good not too long ago” she giggled.
Smiling at Tina’s joke she continued to look her deeply in the eyes and softly said, “You know what I mean.”
“I think I do, but baby, so are you. You say that you are nothing without me and truth be told, the same is true for me. You bring out everything that is good in me, everything about me that is meant to be shown to the rest of the world.”
Taking a deep breath, Tina tried to control the emotion that she knew was pouring from her voice.

Amazing story always, it is absolutely, wonderful. Looking forward to your next chapter.
very sweet..it good see that bette was able to open her heart to Tina..they belong together but they need to work trust again..great chapter :o)
Hello skipton: Excellent as Always. You are able to articulate these two women so well with such conviction. I am looking forward to seeing them finally come back fully complete.
This is the first chapter I read of this fic and I just realized that I have.. what, 91 chapters to catch up on!!! Woo hoo, goodbye boredom!
I loved your story and I LOVED seeing Bette and Tina acting in such a mature way. This chapter is so full of promises and hope.
Great work! =D
thanks willowr. they did act in a mature way. i sure needed that.
SKIPTON – there is a god in heaven smiling down on me. you posted. i cant tell you how my heart and soul needed to read this piece of beauty. you are truly amazing with your words and thoughts. its breathtaking. please post as soon and as often as you can. you are sorely missed when you dont. thank you thank you thank you.
Wonderful chapter with a middle of the night talk. We’ve all had them and you write it so well.
Wonderful job as always…your ability to create meaningful dialogue that’s so true to the characters is part of what makes your writing such a pleasure to read. Thanks for the many posts this week, you’ve been missed.
I’ve figured out what makes this story distinctive (besides your skillful writing), and what I really like about it: This is an Adult story, told by mature, adult women. Your B&T most closely approximate the characters’ ages on the show.
I am so comfortable with the ease with which they live in their own skins. They’ve been in their skins for a while, and it shows.
Am I making myself clear here?
Okay, then. Carry on with your bad self, and post another chapter this weekend!
Thanks!
intense much needed talk. Good for them! Thanks for the update, that was heartfelt and warming.
Loving the updates!! I’m just a hopeless romantic, and being nuts about Bette (and Tina) this is just right up my alley. Between Jwet, Seahurst and Yourself, waiting for S3 to come back on is now bearable! Please post as soon as you can! THANKS again!
I agree with Techgal that I appreciate the maturity of your Bette and Tina and I found this conversation between them moving and thought provoking. Personally, I don’t like to use the term “wife” – it has a lot of chauvanistic baggage to me. However, T makes a good case for what it means to her and them, and if two women can take the word and give it their own power then I say “good for them.” Phew – long winded there, sorry.
I liked this chapter very much, by the way, and thanks for being so prolific this week.
SKIP… always a pleasure to see a chopter from you… so glad they talked… they needed it… so bring on another wedding maybe… please continue
Nice, very nice, and thank god Tina called Bette on her shit or this couple would never go forward.
Skipton,
Fantastic!
The honesty that these women are now able to sharing is heartwarming. Your dialogue expertly captures the true and open feelings that course through these characters.
Bette admitting her reluctance in calling Tina her wife shows how much she has grown and this is equally matched by Tina’s insistence that they face it together.
An avid follower of your work so please post again as I called express in mere words alone my delight in this continuing drama.
It feels like Christmas morning whenever I see a new post as I get the satisfaction of opening a new chapter and seeing what unfolds.
Your Loyal Fan.
This will be my 1st comment on the entire story so far. I spent the weekend reading it. Skip, you have done an outstanding job. You caused me to become breathless several times this weekend. ;)
Wonderful writing….
Beautiful chapter, Skip. Thanks for answering my question! :) I’m glad that Bette and Tina are in this together. Together they will get through anything.
Skipton, I just spent the lasttwo days reading this story again from the beginning. The range of emotions that you had these two going through was incredible. I’m glad to see that you are continuing this wonderful story.
Skip, your story is always so gratifying to read. There is such a realism to their shared struggle to put the pieces in their proper place. Forgivness, whether given or sought takes two to achieve. I like that even though it’s a tough subject for them and that they might have differing opinions on how to proceed, they were never bombastic towards each other. Beautifully infused with tenderness and love. Thank you.
glad they always tryin to find each other back again.. amazing! you juz made my day!
WOW! Techgal really hit the nail on the head with her comments. Your ability to be true to these characters is what draws us again and again.
LOVE IT!
This story is just awesome it just makes your heart feel fuzzy its great
Excellent chapter Skip!
This is so good. So well told. So worth reading and feeling.
Very sweet, truly enjoy your story. Thanks
beautiful as always !!! Can’t wait !!
I knew that I had a problem by the 34th chapter, but I didn’t seek help. Yes, this story had becom an addiction. Yesterday was my first day off from work in almost seven months. What did I spend it doing? Reading all 92 chapters of this story. It took 22 hours. After all, I had to sleep and eat. Now I have completely caught up with the story that I only just discovered existed yesterday morning.
Thanks Skipton for an amazing read. I can clearly see why you are an award winner. I absolutely loved it. Your latest post sounded like a finale. If so I am in serious trouble.
What techgal said. EXCELLENT as usual.
