“Bette, I think that we have proven, in the most tragic ways of all, what we are to each other and what we mean to each other. I never want to lose that and I never want either of us to go off in a direction that doesn’t include the other. I totally appreciate what it is that you were trying to achieve on your own, but baby, haven’t we learned by now, that even though some things can be accomplished independently of each other, together, there is close to nothing that we can’t achieve? Haven’t we figured that out by now?” she said, pleading for Bette to grasp what she was saying.
Pulling Tina tightly into her arms, Bette whispered into her hair as she placed soft kisses all over her face, “Yes, T, yes. I, you, we, we’ve definitely learned that by now.”
Lifting her head off of Bette’s chest, Tina looked into Bette’s eyes and saw the affirmation to her words that she needed to see.
“Yeah?” smiled Tina through her tears.
“Yeah” smiled Bette back at her.
Scooting down the bed, Bette turned the light off that was on her bedside table.
“Come here T” said Bette in the dark.
Nestling down next to Bette, she placed her head back down on her chest, her arm wrapped tightly around Bette as she held onto the woman that she loved. The steady strong beat of Bette’s heart had the same affect on her tired body that it always did. Tina felt herself being lulled into a place where a deep slumber was soon to follow.
“Baby?” she whispered.
“Yeah, T?” asked Bette as she stroked Tina’s back, encouraging her body to take what it needed from her own to finally rest and let go for the night.
“I know that we are going to work towards it, but I just want you to know that I want it back. I want my wife back and I want her to have hers back as well.
“I know, T.”
“I want it all” she simply stated. “And I won’t settle for anything else.”
Bette heard Tina’s breathing even out and deepen, knowing that sleep was not far behind.
“And you won’t have to T. I promise you that.”
Closing her eyes, she followed Tina’s lead and allowed her body to finally rest.

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.
