“Tina, what’s wrong?” Bette sounded concerned and when she remembered that Geli was safe asleep with her, she became irritated. “What now, Tina? Do you want to sign us all up for community parenting classes?” Tina knew Bette had every right to be upset for her vacation remark, but she wanted to clarify, without the hostility between them that had existed for so long.
Bette opened the door, but only enough to let the chain lock catch. She stood, in her hotel robe, with her reading glasses on. She took them off and looked at Tina as if to say, “Yes?”
Tina lost most of her nerve to let Bette know what was really on her mind about the two of them. She cleared her throat and stepped away from the door. Bette unlocked the door between them and opened it to let Tina in. She followed Bette to the crib as they both checked on Angelica. They smiled and looked at each other.
Bette moved to the desk and sat in the office chair. She crossed her arms and her annoyed look returned. “Tina, I hope you aren’t here to ask for more time with Geli tomorrow. We agreed that I would keep her with me while Henry was here…with you.” Bette looked away from Tina for a moment to let the last part sink in.
“No, I’m not here to talk about that. Well, I am, but not the way you think.” Tina shuffled her feet nervously as she gestured to the bed.
“Yea, sit.” Bette was trying to muster her strength to stiffen herself for what Tina might throw at her. “She certainly has been full of surprises these days,” she thought to herself with some sadness. Trying to shake her crumbling resolve, Bette rose from the chair and asked Tina if she could get her anything from the mini fridge.
“Iced tea, if you have it, would be great.” Tina sat on her hands as Bette handed her a small bottle of Lipton. “Thanks.”
“Tina, what’s going on? It’s late and we have a lot planned for tomorrow. Geli and I are going to take a walk in the woods and see what sort of nature we can find to photograph.”

Anyone with half a brain could tell Tina was feeling more than just friendship feelings when she and Bette hugged in the season finale. Now why is it Tina has to be the stereotypical blond and be a total flake? Granted if this had happened they’d still have to work through the sole custody issue but we’ll pretend for the time being that that part didn’t happen. ;)
Thank you! Watching these two women not talk to each other is the most frustrating thing!!
if only it ended like that… it may have made season 3 a little easier to watch… i hope you continue… and if you do… please don’t let tina go back to her room with henry… or at least let her tell him to get another room… they are through… over, done… ok … i guess i am also done
Much better. Is there more, cause I really hope so! Like the direction you took; plausible and pleasing, righting wrongs as you go. Thanks!
I agree w/Seahurst’s comment. During S3, I often found myself shouting at the TV telling them to talk to each other. They would flip harsh remarks at one another and then it cut to a new scene. No closure with ideas or convos. Very frustrating for the viewer. Who acts like that in real life?
i hope angie won’t interrupt their talk and little reconnection…post soon and say goodbye to henry
Seeing them in S3 was a blow to the stomach every time. This is better thanks
“baby, don’t cry” *melts*
This sounds really interesting – keep writing!
Lamentamini, I, on the other hand, thought it was a done deal when Tina gave Bette that hug in the hotel hallway. I saw regret and remembrance (of S2-ep 9) on Bette’s part (and the lingering hope for a replay. On Tina’s face I saw nothing but resolve. She has moved on. She told Henry doesn’t want Bette to be on the floor for the next two years, and I think that scene was a display of those feelings. Tough, but…anyway, thanks Jspen for spinning it another way. Wistfully and wishfully yours, TG.
that was too short….I am in total agreement with Lamentamini on this one. I can’t wait for your next chapter.
I agree with Lamentamini (we seem to be agreeing a lot lately) about the hug and the connection that will always be there for them. It upsets me that so many people hate Tina so much. Am I happy at the way she treated Bette, hell no. But and I know it is a big But, the real Tina would never had done this to Bette. The writers for some reason took it upon themselves to turn her into some evil villian. Instead of showing the battle that goes on in some people’s head, they just had her jump into bed with any one that had three legs. Maybe I am dreaming but Tina maybe coming to her senses and she is going to have to work doubly hard to show Bette that she can be trusted agin. Will the real L WORD please Stand Up.
Good chapter. Bette and Tina need to get back together!
Season 3 will always be one of the worst seasons to watch..even though bette and tina not getting back together was hard but Dana dying took the cake and I cant still get myself to watch it
