They said their goodbyes. Mrs. Brovey had set up an appointment with Bette about some art work.
T, the gang wants to come to the house for a few minutes to congratulate you on this evening, if you want to, Bette said as they were driving home. I can call them and tell them not to come, if you want.
.
Their home
The gang was there when they arrived home. They stood when Tina entered and raised their glasses to her.
We got some stuff for you, Alice said impishly.
Shane handed Tina a soft package which contained a pink t-shirt which read:
Shes my wife.
And shes hot!!!
”’
Put it on, demanded Alice.
Tina took the shirt and began walking to the bedroom to change.
No, put it on here, demanded Alice. Remember, weve already seen everything.
Tina looked at Bette and they both grinned. Tina emerged from the bedroom a few minutes later wearing casual pants and the pink t-shirt.
OK, another present, exclaimed Alice as she handed Tina a box.
Tina pulled from a box a display case with two dolls–Barbie in a USC cheerleader outfit and Xena, in her classic leather get-up.
Happy, baby? Tina asked of Bette who hadnt liked the dolls undressed.
Yeah, smiled Bette, approvingly.
They got Tina something to drink and then sat around together to hear the play-by-play of the evening.
And so the woman asked if I or any of my gay friends would be interested in sleeping with her or any of her friends, Bette recounted.
Who was it? asked a surprised Tina who had not witnessed this encounter.
Some dark-haired woman named Jan.
Oh, gosh, Seans wife.
What did you say? asked Dana.
I told her Tina and I were in a committed relationship and my friends were also in relationships.
Wellwhat does Jan look like? Shane grinned and they all laughed.
Alice and Shane talked for a while about straight women, sometimes a group, who wanted to experiment. They had all experimented with straight women, but didnt want to talk about this much around Tina. Bette had said,yes,more than once to women like Jan and they didnt want to remind Tina of her wifes amorous past.
Well, my story isnt quite as interesting, offered Tina, but I was annoyed by what happened. This guy, who had asked me out, came up to me.
Well, Tina. Bette is your girlfriend? He had asked.
Shes my partner. We have a committed relationship.
Well, I knew it had to be something, he said, for you to turn me down.
The gang started laughing at Tinas story and Bette put her arm around her wife.
They all think theyre Jude Law, chuckled Alice, and the only reason you turned them down is that youre gay. A straight woman wouldnt be able to resist them.
Yeah, Shane seconded Alice. They are all gods gift to women because they are so handsome.
And intelligent.
And witty.
And strong.
And cool.
And sexy.
Pretty common, huh? commented Tina as she put her head on Bettes shoulder and closed her eyes.
Alice looked at everyone and gave them the high sign.
Well, time to leave, Alice said. Tina, its like being a debutante. You have to go through the coming outed party, and its tiring.
Theyll talk about it for a while and then find something else to gossip about, Shane added helpfully. Youll be old news.
The sooner the better, Tina said wearily, not rising from the couch.
After Bette saw their friends out, she walked back to Tina who was sitting back with her head against the sofa. Her eyes were closed.
You want to debrief? Bette asked, brushing the hair from Tinas face.
Baby, said Tina, I am relieved that I dont have to hide anything anymore. Theres no question of that. But I still wonder how theyre going to treat me.
Bette pulled her close and thought about how much extra attention she was going to have to pay to Tina until this all worked out.
Baby, asked Tina. Have you slept with many women like Jan?
Women, Bette smiled. There were other women?

Well written and a fun read. Many of the comments were salient. I especially liked Bette’s closing remark to Tina.
I really like seeing how Bette and Tina dealt with t’s coming out. I think you really nailed the estrangement that can happen when one person lives in fear of being found out and so closets the relationship. Nicely done – you write the humor and the connection of love so well. Such an antidote to the negativity of the show. Good to see you on TWOP as well. Thanks for contributing such a wonderful story to the fan fic world.
Brilliant as always.. Please continue
Wow, Jan had some balls asking Bette if she would be interested in sleeping with her knowing about Tina. I can only imagine Bette’s reaction if it was Tina that had been propositioned. And about the ‘Boys signing T.O. This is exactly why JT NEEDS TO buy the Dallas Cowboys, to prevent bonehead moves like this!
Lemme see if I can clarify what I meant before. I know that this B&T is the same from your previous story. What I meant was that I thought we were getting a flashback prior to the breakup in “What is Love?” Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that. ANYWAY at least the coming out is over. There will always be jerks who will make comments either to a person’s face or just around friends (I’ve done that and BOY did karma bite me in the butt lol). But there will also be people who won’t care and those are the people Tina definitely needs to be around at this time.
Good answer Bette!!!
Very well written, great job Pancha. Bette Porter as a trophy wife LOL, I think that they are each others trophies. The way her host talked, it shouldn’t effect her impending promotion, but I think that there might be a little jealousy amoung some of her colleages. Love this story, please continue :o)
love the party… and i also agree tina will get all her promotions that are due her… and the trpphy wife was priceless… and we all know ay least one guy who was like that guy… they think they are gods gift to all women… love yor story… please continue
she’s out ….YAY!!!!!!! now Bette can come visit T’s office for lunch or “LUNCH” from time to time…..next up NC17??????
Good chapter. Everything seem good and let Bette and Tina have fun!
Damn, that Bette’s a smooth operator. Loved your party scene, Pancha. It had the ring of truth.
love your story
absolutely wonderful…and i think even if it will be okay at work bette still can pay extra attention to tina ;)
I know that was very hard for Tina. Society sure make life very difficult. As Shane said soon it will be old news. But when you have Bette as a wife it will always be hard for it to be old news. Thank you for the story.
Pancha, as always you never cease to amaze. You really did a great job with the fear Tina was having about coming out and Bette’s disappointment about being “hidden” from Tina’s professional life. The “coming out ball” was fantastic. Especially, Tina’s experience with the Oh-you-have-to-be-gay-to-say-no idiot. LOL. And Bette’s experience with the experimenting Jan. Love the gang’s coming out party. And by the way, Bette’s closing remark was right on the money. LOL. Thanks for the update.
That Bette is one smart cookie. Your story really is saving grace.
Way to step lightly Bette. Pancha, you make the world of L a better place to be. Thank you for still writing during an uninspiring S3. I hope you’ll post again soon. Now I’m off to take some tranquilizers before I watch tonight’s episode.
OMG! I have been to these parties! Studio executives and all. HA! Thank you so much for putting all the different dynamics that really do go on into your story! Really well written! Please post again soon!
love your style of writing. so fun to read! another post soon?
It looks like out is just a piece of cake if you have a partner like Bette. I want a Bette now. ;)
In a creepy kind of way, I liked your sad ending more for Bette and Tina than IC’s, you’re right, it did make more sense, it explained so many things but in the end I’m a huge T&B fan so…. anyway, I’m liking this story and the way it’s been told.
Thanks for the post pancha. What a treat to read about a happy B&T tonight. Glad your Tina isn’t getting a ton of poo dumped on her every week.
they did it! i like how they deal with the coming out, this was easy for their cause Bette is such a sweet and inteligent woman and she is a big support for Tina. I enjoy read this i was waiting this chapter. thanks take care
I figured Mrs Brovey for the one who would put the makes on Bette…could make the work situation sticky for Tina! Thanks for posting. I needed this!
We all need a trophy wife like Bette.Some people don’t care other will try to let it pass over their heads Some will be a&&es. The men will say to them self she just never had a real man like me Thanks.hope you didn’t get rained out. We got about 7-8 inches thanks
Great chapter – more please…
