“That will be great for her, you, well, for you both.” Tina was getting angry that she was rendered with some sort of speech impediment around Bette lately. “Look, I think we should talk.” Tina came out with her initial intention for coming to Bette’s room at such a late hour.
“Ok, talk.” Bette sat and folded her arms again.
“Bette, it’s not what you think.”
“Well, the last thing you said to me was not what I expected either. We are going to go down that road again are we? Because the thought of taking a vacation with you, Geli, and Henry and his kid…”
“No, Bette. Listen. I do want to take vacations with you and Geli, just the three of us. I mean…”
“Tina, I do love that idea but I am pretty sure it would be awkward for all of us and…”
“Bette, please stop interrupting. I want to take vacations with my daughter, and her other mother. I want it to be us. Just us.” Tina looked at Bette to see if she registered what she was saying.
“Tina, I am confused.” Bette softened. “What are you trying to say?”
“Bette, we have lost so much of us in the last year. We had a child, and that should have been a time for us to come together as a family. Instead, we fell apart.”
“Tina. Slow down. I’m still confused.” Bette showed confusion and anguish on her face. Deep down she was not sure that getting back together with Tina would be for the best. She had hoped for this all along, but Tina won’t even let her get close to her anymore.
“Ok, I’m talking at you. I’m sorry. Let me ask you something. If I were to say that I want to work on our family, and our relationship, what would you say? Hypothetically.” Tina left her head down a bit, but looked up to meet Bette’s eyes.
“I don’t know. I mean, you’re into men again, and I am trying to work on being without you. I don’t want to regress. I feel pretty good about things, considering.” Bette sat beside Tina on the bed. “Are you asking if we should try again?” Bette asked this question with increased hopefulness. Tina caught this.

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
