Tina smiled sadly into her glass and took a deep breath.
“It’s long, boring and unhappy” Tina said as she looked up to meet her friend’s concerned gaze “But above all it’s behind us” She assured.
“You want to at least give me the synopsis?” Wendy pushed “The fact that your ring is missing gives me a reasonable idea of the plot”
Tina looked at her bare finger and bit her lip as she thought about the most diplomatic way to proceed.
“Bette and I weren’t as prepared to start a family as we thought we were” Tina began tentatively before gaining confidence “I had a hard time falling pregnant and then when I did things between us became strained. Then towards the end of the first trimester I lost the baby and it all justfell apart. We hit the bottom not long after and we’ve been putting the pieces back together ever since”
“Oh Tina, I’m so sorry. Really” Wendy offered with a small, sympathetic smile.
Tina just nodded and offered a slight smile in return.
“But things are OK now?”
“Yeah, they are” Tina agreed “Actually they’re better than OK”
“I’m glad to hear it” Wendy said as she reached out and covered Tina’s hand with her own “James and I are so fond of both you and Bette, we’d hate to see anything come between the two of you”
Their afternoon progressed into early evening, eventually Bette joined them at the bar and Wendy’s concerns evaporated when she saw how attentive Bette was with her partner. In the end it was Bette who inadvertently forced the news that Wendy had wanted to tell Tina all night.
“I’m going to order another round” Bette announced “T, you’ll have another, right?”
Tina nodded her assent and Bette turned her attention to Wendy.
“And what are you having, Wendy?” She enquired.
“Uh, just a sparkling water thanks Bette” Wendy replied.
“What happened to the woman who used to drink Cosmo’s like they’re water?” Bette teased but quickly wondered if she hadn’t put her foot firmly in her mouth as she watched Wendy’s cheeks flush.
“Actually there’s something that I was wanting to tell you” Wendy confessed with a shy smile.

Hackgirl, this was an honest portrayal of B & T as they struggle to get back their relationship. It makes sense that Tina would be the one to be more apprehensive given what she lost the first time around. I am thoroughly enjoying your small repairs…it looks like B & T certainly need them.
You write so well, I want to compliment you well. But, your writing surpasses my compliments…what’s a girl to do?
OMG please tell me im first. im in awe of your writing. i love this repairing your doing. its repairing my heart and soul from last season. so well done. i dont even know how to tell you how your words just flow and give pausel kinda contradictory. but hopefully youll understand, its beautiful but it makes me think. so good on all fronts. please post soon.
Great chapter, and good plan. Now, how to convince Tina to try again and for you to post chapters sooner…
As for your deal: how about, you keep making small repairs, and I read them?
Let see if Bette is the smooth talker we know she is. Talking Tinsssssa Tina into another chilf if not Tins then Bette… Thanks
I hope Wendy can convince Tina. Maybe Bette could get pregnant this time.
awesome…! Tina should try again..now that they have got through so far..Bette and Tina should have a talk bout it.
As usual, I simply let your writing envelop me and carry me through the story. In point of fact you make astute observations regarding the varied pull of parenthood on one partner or the other. You capture this difference very well. You’re on a roll…keep the chapters coming!
HG,
Again a little slice of magic.
Pure and true emotions are on display and like Jake with Bette have captured my heart.
I can’t wait to this scenario played out. Bette being the one desperate for a family while Tina is more resistant to the idea. This is completely understandable given the lost of their baby boy.
It thrills me to think that Wendy realized that she needs to work on Tina and not Bette., Excitement ahead I feel.
Thank you for filling in the blanks.
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Please continue and avoid the Red Square!
The repairs are simply wonderful!
That was so beautiful.
Thank you.
ho pe Wendy try to convince Tina to try again they deserve and theres no reason to be afraid to try..great chapter post soon

Excellent chapter. This story is so good. Love it.
I have been reading all of your stories over the past two days and they were abosolutely wonderful. You have a talent for describing the characters emotions that makes you feel as though you were right there. By far you are undoubtedly one of my favorite fanfic writers. The intricate details in your stories are so simple but yet so profound and only brings the story more to life…if only it could be played out like this on the show. I would love for you to continue writing your stories as I am so sure I will not be disappointed. Once again, thanks for sharing.
Silly me I almost missed this. It’s been a while but I hope you continue. Expectations and perception make things interesting don’t they? Indeed, people surprise me all the time. Readiness for parenthood especially in a relationship such as the one depicted by these two characters is very much a conscious decision – of course an emotional one too. It remains to be seen whether these two converge eventually. Hope to see another post from you soon. Thanks for writing.
