Tina has been working such long days and is so disconnected from Bette, she hasn’t even noticed that Bette has started to pack and store many of her clothes and personal items. Tina comes home about 9pm. She’d had a late meeting over drinks, truth be told it was more like drinks with Josh Becker without covering much studio business, call it rapport building. Tina is truly tired, her days at the studio wear on her and she misses her baby terribly when she’s at work. This isn’t the life she’d thought she’d have as a mother, but she is handling things.
Tina walks into a spotless house, something she appreciates. Bette is in the backyard nursing an iced tea, no alcohol for this discussion. Bette is casually dressed in jeans and a lightweight long sleeved blouse, enough to keep the chill off, but still be comfy. Tina is a black power suit, but has discarded the heels as soon as she came in the door. She immediately goes to Angelica’s room and takes time to kiss and smile at her angel. Just the sight of her daughter could make even the worst day melt away. She heads to the bedroom to change and express some milk. She is putting away the milk and is startled by Bette’s entry into the kitchen.
Bette: Hey T. (pours out the rest of her tea and places her glass in the dishwasher)
Tina: Hi Bette, I didn’t want to disturb you
Bette: It wouldn’t have been a bother, but I’m glad you’ve had a moment to unwind. I need to talk to you. Do you want to head out back or just sit in the lounge?
Tina: Well, I’m really tired so let’s just talk inside. (Tina grabs a bottle of water, Bette heads to the lounge and sits in the chair. Tina sits on the sofa)
Tina: What’s up Bette?
Bette: Tina after two years of trying to make us a family I give up. Your were honest with me about your attraction to men and ultimately a simpler family life for Angelica and I finally get it. I am not the partner you need and you have not wanted me for a long, long time. The adoption process isn’t going in my favor and if I’m honest with myself I will be the cause of confusion for Angelica and distress for you new partner; a likely father for Angelica. If that I the life you want believe to be best for Angelica and for yourself I will not stand in the way of that. This is your home and Angelica’s home. I have found a new place to stay, have accepted a job and have already begun to pack up my things and my mail is already being forwarded.

LOts of hatred and anger on Tina’s part. How did it get so, so bad?
I think Tina is shocked, feels betrayed, Bette has processed over time, Tina is blindsided. She comes home from work and finds her life is being dismantled. She still loves Bette, just not sure Bette is the right choice anymore and now Bette has made that decision for her. I’m not sure where this “inspiration” came from nor if its going forward, but we’ll see. The desire for men at that time in the relationship had to be devastating for Bette. IC gave us one path, here is another, not sure how thorny it will be.
Hmm, looks like in this case, Bette’s not the only one who can be considered self-involved and have their head up their ass.?! While Bette’s iteration of the realizations she’s come to and the actions she’s taken may have come off abrupt to Tina (and me), I feel she’s doing what needs to be done in this situation. Up until recently, I had only seen some snippets of s3 on youtube, but thanks to LOGO I’ve seen the edited version of a few eps and I can safely say all the stuff with B&T broke my heart…this tale is doing a good job with that too, however I’m not going anywhere and very curious to see where you take our girls?? Thx & PPVS!!
What a nightmare. There they go again, doing things without talking to each other first. Great chapter. Please continue.
WOW! Lots of drama indeed. I hope to read more soon. Thx
Wow….that was powerful! You did a great job expressing both Bette and Tina’s feelings equally. I don’t think it is a matter of taking sides or who was more wrong than the other. I just think it’s important to understand where they are both emotionally coming from in order to understand where your story will take us. Wonderfully written and I look forward to more.
My goodness, such venom from Tina. What the hell did she think Bette would do, let her continue having feelings for men, date Josh Becker or any other man of her choosing and continue to have cybersex with Daddyoftwo. My only wish was that they had agreed to separate but not make the break permanent until Tina decided that Bette was no longer the person for her, they need the wiggle room to take those decisions back and resume their relationship. Also I understand how Bette felt when Tina told her all that, she was particularly devasted because it is her “T” doing all this which she never expected. And as much as it hurts, I do want to see where you take this. It will be very interesting. We’ve missed your writing and thanks for posting this new story.
What a mess hey. I can’t blame Bette really even if she stated this by cheating in the first place. it’s hurt to see them like that. I am still hopping to a better ending. PPVs
Oh Wow! No words – just that! can’t wait to see what happens. Thank you!
WELCOME BACK!!!! It’s strange isn’t it how we can go along and not feel a story in our head, and then all of a sudden, pow! it’s there and you feel you have to write it?!! Glad you are back, and I look forward to reading the rest of your story. Thanks!!
I can’t believe Tina is feeling betrayed. After all of her behavior did she really think that Bette wasn’t going to reach a breaking point? We know that they may well find their way back to each other, but Bette seems to have made a logical choice at the moment.
I kept you as a favorite and will not be changing that. Please continue and tell it like it should have been told in the damn first place. Welcome back!
season 3 broke my heart. tina made me so mad…i was hoping bette would do something like that (even though i was a tibetter) tina wanted her cake and eat it too. bette is doing what she needs to do to survive. i am sure she thought long and hard about it and it is killing her to leave either of them. can’t wait to read more.
oh well. One partner always leaves ’emotionally’ a long time before they physically up and leave. Usually the more intellectually secure person reachs the decision to leave and prepares their exit plan just like Bette has done because an intelligent person can only take so much ‘abuse’ and that’s what T has been dishing for 2 years by the sounds of this. Bette has done the right thing for her and maybe in this case for Angelica because it appears that T has a lot of hate spewing out there…some of it self-hate possibly feeling rejected and ugly since B cheated on her. Very sad situation cuz I love them both but very real the way u’ve portrayed it. I will be following this. Thx for writing.
This is sad and drama!
Ugh im already hating this soooo kuch in other words that I mean I love this as well, damn b I hate when Tina and Bette break uo or fight
