Hilda: Clearly his dedication to his family and high expectations of you have left a legacy for you. Parents aren’t perfect and there are things you’ll do differently for Angelica, but he left a solid foundation for you.
Bette: Yea, he was a good Dad, stubborn, but he meant well.
Hilda: Not unlike you Bette. You are undoubtedly well intentioned, even in leaving Tina and Angelica you meant well. You thought Tina wanted another life, one without you so you exited to give her what you thought she wanted. Now you have a chance to find out what she actually wanted. Once you understand that you can decide on your next steps. Do what feels right in your heart, don’t rush and don’t feel obligated. You have rediscovered Bette, not Bette the mother, lover or professional, but just you. You know you don’t have to compromise who you are to do what you need to do. If your heart and mind say no, slow or even maybe, listen. Your happiness is up to you, not Tina or anyone else.
Bette: I’m not sure how much longer she’ll stay. Heck if our talk doesn’t go well tonight she may be gone in the morning.
Hida: Bette, don’t joke about something so serious. You have to believe in Tina’s sincerity. If you honestly don’t trust that, then let her go for good. If you get nothing else from her visit or your discussion, you need to believe and trust her as she leaves. Not only are you doing this after such a long break, but you will be rebuilding with a long distance relationship. You won’t be able to look her in the eye or just reach out and touch her. Your connection will have to be based on trust and faith.
Bette: Thanks, part of me is just overwhelmed. I was already on a high from my family visit, the success of the show and seeing Boo. The idea that I may be able to reconnect with Tina scares me, as if I’m waiting for something to go wrong, that it can’t all go so right.
Hilda: Why can’t it? Why not for you Bette? That is the question I want to you ask yourself when those doubts creep in, why not me?

Date night? Presumptuous much, T? Your writing is really great, but your Tina upsets me. After how long she made Bette beg after Candace, it seems like she’s expecting to have Bette just give her a chance so easily, when she was so much more hurtful towards her. I hope they make it, but only for Bette and Angie’s sakes, not for Tina, who doesn’t deserve such a great partner
I’m with jikes. It seems Tina is thinking Bette will cave and things can go back to the way she (Tina) wants it. Hope Bette hangs tough and helps Tina realize that the degree of pain she put Bette through can’t be undone by a smile and a “sorry”. Thanks for posting tonight – such an unexpected treat! PPS.
Will be interesting to see what happens from here…. thanks for writing it!
Well, I liked the fact that they are talking honestly and civily. There is nothing to be gained by two people who still love each other artificially holding up barriers. Each of them “earn” there way back to each other by being honest with themselves and honest with each other and create new rules between them to move forward. You are telling your story very well Lwsho…I am really enjoying it.
Great story. At least they are both open to the possibilty of working thing out. An as in real life it’s good to be careful to work through issues that have been allowed to destroy a realtionship. It’s good to see that being played out in this story. A day at a time.
at least they are talking. Tina really hurt Bette, especiay when she had Josh in their house that was meant. But their need each other. just love yur story. PPVS
love this.. and baby steps is good… i know they are going to make it.. pps
That was great and can’t wait to see more !
The road back is bumpy and eraught with potholes and turns; B needs T and vice versa.
Another great update – thank you :) Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story :)
I hope the open communication continues and things stay positive. Please post very soon!
I’m glad they’re starting to talk about what happened. It feels like Tina is talking the brunt of their breakup. It takes problems with both partners for things to get as bad as they did and I don’t think we’re seeing Bette’s role. I guess the fact that Bette up and left without communicating her thoughts and intentions with Tina is an indication of how withdrawn she was from the relationship which I think Tina sensed. She is being portrayed as having only good intentions by making her move but I think she had some selfish/revenge type motivations as well. Maybe through their continued discussions and their therapy sessions some of these things will come to light and she’ll start taking some of the responsibility for the demise of their relationship. Then they can really move forward in healing.
Amazing Chapter!!! B&T talking is always good. I am a frim beleaver that it takes two to kill a marriage and two to fix it. I hope that B&T make in your story and Tina will move to N.Y., but she needs to give it time and alot off it. Thanks PPVS
