They had had their daughter after about a year and a half of marriage and his wife was never the same. She was withdrawn, began ignoring the baby, and Robert had to take the child to his mother’s.
“Then, she got on drugs and began seeing other men. So I had to divorce her.”
Tina was genuinely sympathetic to his plight and listened with concern to his story. He had been crushed by the collapse of his marriage. It made Tina feel important to have him confide in her.
“By the time I finished high school, I wanted to get married, be a husband and father, like my father. And take my place in the community. After I got my degree in social work, I knew it was time. Lydia was pretty and young and she wanted to have children and be a house wife.”
Robert shook his head at the memory. Then he smiled at Tina affectionately.
“How’s my Angie?”
“Oh, she’s very happy. I think she likes being in her home.”
They started having dinner at least once a week, taking the children. They went to movies when Robert’s mother could keep their daughters.
Tina liked Robert’s sweetness and his infatuation with her. She liked it when he needed to kiss her. His adoration made her feel like somebody.
It was nice to be with someone where there was so little tension. He seemed to like everything she did. He made no demands. There was no ugly history. No baggage. It was easy. And Bette wasn’t easy.
————————————————-
The Planet
Tina still went to the Planet and sometimes found people to visit with. Their old friends, however, avoided her. Tina wasn’t too surprised. They had not supported Bette very much when Tina had left her.
“Hi, Kit,” Tina said sticking her head into Kit’s office.
“Tina,” she said pleasantly. “Where’s my beautiful niece?”
“Oh,” said Tina, “she’s at homewith the nurse.”
Tina saw the interest leave Kit’s eyes although she still remained courteous. As long as there was a possibility of seeing the baby, Kit was gracious. But when the little girl was not in the picture, Kit managed to extricate herself from Tina, smoothly but quickly.

sorry pancha, As I told you a few chapters ago, beautiful writing, It is really so believable, I think the show is gonna be like this, and thats depressing, I like happy Ha Ha
Strange how the tables have turned. The gang is not talking to Tina, and its kind of like Bette left her because it was all about Tina. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, haven’t we been here before. The whole guy thing, pissing me off, and not happy that IC has also chosen to go there. Tina better wake up and smell the coffee before its gone.
great chapter, please post soon
has tina lost her fucking mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bette is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT tina wake the fuck up now because she can’t garrentee that she will be their when u get back
Really good post. Tina needs to figure out what she wants at some point but I’m not sure B&T can rebuild after this.
OK i PM:d you before i read this …”Hows my little Angie”..WELL… REALLY!ok Robert i kinda feel sorry for you, Crappy deal with the wife etc. but DONT let Bette hear you refere to Angie as yours…not even in a joke!…PK got that outta the way….Neither women seem overly broken hearted at this point which goes to prove this time apart is needed…for now!…ok you must be sick of hearing from me by now!!! by the way ive never PM:d anyone til now…lol
I didn’t mind Robert too much before as a person separate from Tina, but now he seems like he’s gonna be one of those possessive types. “How’s my Angie?” WTF kinda shit is that? Dude, Angie is NOT your little girl. Oh and of course here’s this: It was nice to be with someone where there was so little tension (but you’re being secretive because everyone knows you as a lesbian). He seemed to like everything she did (eh, can’t really nitpick that one). He made no demands (…yet). There was no ugly history (…between the two of them but they both have baggage even though the next sentence says otherwise). No baggage (him divorcing his wife after she just shut down and became negligent ISN’T baggage? WTF???). It was easy (whatever, Tina). And Bette wasn’t easy (love is always supposed to be easy?). So yeah, whatever Tina is smoking, snorting, shooting, etc. I want some of it too.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for Tina?? When she starts looking at open relationships with men, what is the gang suposed to think? SHe is essentially rejecting their lifestyle which is rejecting them..as I said before GO BETTE!
Tina is acting … childish! Yeah can’t find another word for it! And if she keeps acting like that, there won’t be anymore Bette and Tina! It’s hard to admit but your story is really preparing me for the worst of season three, and I’m grateful for that, cause at least now I have an idea! Things aren’t always perfect! Now I do hope we have a happy ending in season 3 and in your story ofcourse! Thanx for the update! keep writing and I’ll keep reading!
Now that it’s on the other foot, the shoe seems to be fitting rather comfortably. That is if you don’t think about how the style isn’t so flattering and may not be so comfortable once you try to get somewhere. Is Tina going to start getting real soon? And Robert seems just a tad sanctimonious divorcing his wife for being unfaithful, yet he kisses Tina in the front yard of the home she shared with another.
Good chapter. Now its time for Tina stop and go talk to Bette and work thing out before its to late. OK post soon please, thanks! Oh thank you Pancha for like my mane!
ahh… dagger to the heart pancha! argh… my achy breaky heart!anyways, on to more exciting topics – did you see the expensive national championship crystal football on sale at foleys?? sah~weet!
Okay..First: Great chappy, love how the story is progressing.Second: I am weary of this Robert character, a person without “baggage”, “no demands”…bullshit. That’s how they start out in the beginning. What Tina needs to realize it’s not just Bette, it’s her. In any relationship that she will have, she will conintue to bring her shit with her. She is fooling herslf that she can live a drama free bland exisistent life. I mean does she really want an easy relationship? After awhile she will just get bored like with Eric and then what, look for something else and repeat!!! Tina needs to stop looking to other people to make her feel good about herself she needs to find happiness from within. Although I am not liking TIna right now I don’t agree with the gang not talking to her. It’s fine to be sad about the situation but she needs a friend right now, atleast Alice,the dirty bi-sexual. It’s not right for the gang to be switching sides everytime something happens with the leaders of the pack. What happened to friendship and family? At some point Bette and Tina are going to have to talk, this e-mail shit is not working. Anyways,please continue because I will be reading.
Hope that Robert is smart enough not to say How is my Angie in front of Bette, Kit are any of the gang. He would get an ol fashion wood shed beating. Bette need to keep her word and let Tina see her with some beautiful chick. more than one time. She {tina} is going to be a very lonely person before this is over. Robert didn’t seem to care that Tina and Bette was together. Yet he was angy that his wife was cheating on him . Thanks so much for the update. My A-M son when to work Thursday and his goft cart was cover in Texas sticker. Today he took a CD with nothing but the Aggies fight song on it and was going to play it all day over and over. thanks
i agree with some posts…tina needs to realize, it’s not un-easy bette with her baggage that is the problem…it’s tina…i don’t really like robert, he only kisses her whne noone is around and knows she has a gf at home…just another bastard…i hope tina will get it over soon and look for bette…s3 looks more and more gloomy *crying*
forgot to mention: at least tina is atill checking out women, it means it’s hope that she won’t go all straight…please, get them back together faster than s3
Pancha great chapter. Tina is so going to lose Bette. Robert saying My Angie, Bette would kill him if she here’s that. Stupid Stupid Tina. Tian also needs to see Bette with another woman. Please Post Soon!!!!!!
one more, sorry…could hardly find your story…had to strain my eyes to fish it out of the swamp
What the hell is up with Robert saying “My Angie”!!! Bette would fucking murder him if she heard him saying that!!!! Tinaa….she….needs to get kicked in her throat!!!!!!
Oh why i can’t fight the urge to press the read story button?? I hate me.. And I hate Pancha’s Tina (although i’m totally in love with IC’s, i hope she won’t really ruin the character like you did. or maybe it’s LH that i’m crazy about.. LOL But i’m loving your Bette, WOOHOO the old Bette is back *faints at JB’s hotness* ) Ok no not really i don’t hate Tina. Pancha my dear, I think you got some great things under that rock of yours.. I always thought B & T did need to stay apart and without Tina jumping into a relationship(i never thought it was an affair since she and B were seperated) with Helena and then jump back into Bette’s arms again.. You say talking doesn’t always work, of course it doesn’t. When two people are talking but neither is listening or trying to understand what the other is saying and just sticking to their opinion IN a relationship.. NEVER works.. Relationships need to work on them and make some sacrifices.. And it seems that none of these are in Tina’s plan. So I think even if they did talk it won’t really work, maybe it’ll make things worse.. I think Tina better talk to Bette only when she finds herself and knows who she really is and what she really wants. Oh and she better be ready for anything that will come her way from Bette.. My Bette won’t be taking you’re Tina’s shit (your Tina is the one in this story.. :P ) Once again, I’m HATING ME cuz of YOU.. lol
Okay. I just don’t get some things. One, why is Tina’s time with Helena seen as an affair? They were broken up right? Two, why is it so wrong for Tina to be attracted to a man? Is she not allowed to be bisexual? I mean Alice is and they tease her, but they don’t get mad at her. 3. Tina did a very bad thing by cheating on Bette with the guy, but this entire relationship being a mess is both of their faults. Apparently Tina never really forgave Bette. That seems fairly understandable. I think the pregnancy and the baby pushed them back together when they weren’t ready to be. They should both admit fault and go their separate ways. I don’t see that the fault lies with one party in either of the instances. Okay, sorry for the tirade. Your story really is great though. It makes me a little cranky, but it is great.
Looks tFirst off, you are amazing to respond to each and every comment. It is so appreciated. Looks like Tina-Queena wants to have her cake and eat it as well. She has a sweet deal goin’ on. All her expenses paid and she is free to go dicky-dunkin’ if she wants to and get a lil’ pootie on the side. I can understand paying for Angie but she is capable of taking care of her own finances. Ya know if you play , ya gotta pay. Robert is full of crap. He knows Tina is married to Bette, what he is doing is no different that what his ex-wife did to him. Everyone becomes so self-righteous when they are involved. Great writing, I love this story.
OK..you writing is amazing but you are so killing me! I can’t stand the thought of either one of our girls with a man!UGH….of course, I will be waiting for the next post.

What is Tee doing? Flirt with a guy while checking up women in Planet? Who does she think she is? A slvt? There were two things most important in Bette’s world: Tina+Angie and Art. Since she doesn’t have one completely, then give her the other. Give her an artist soul mate. =D
Aargh! Tina is such a punk. Doesn’t she love Bette anymore? Seeing Robert is one thing, but seeing (okay, okay, checking out) the whole (the women at the) Planet, that’s just WRONG. Not only do I volunteer to whack her wig’s wits right, I’d gladly perform a lobotomy on her, too. She’s pissing me off big time. God, Tina! — And I love your fic very much, Pancha. Will never tire of reminding of that fact. Cheers!
Being cheated on can cause some serious self doubt. NO WAY do I want Tina to find answers with a man – but she has to find herself first. I just can’t loose sight of the fact that Bette cheated. I know they were both to blame BUT Bette is the only one that stepped out of the relationship to look for answers. If this is “really” what season 3 has in store for us – it’s going to be a LONG miserable season.
My heart is breaking. Tina is sooooo lost. I do not think she has a clue what is going on in her head let alone what her body wants. Bette on the other hand is trying to move forward. I do believe that both need to sit and really talk about how they really feel about each other. I love this story and both JB and LH are very hot.
I love and Hate this story. Love it for the wonderful writting hate for obvious reasons (Depressing). I think you should take Tina off the drugs or drink that you have her on, she is one confused and sad lady. I feel a little sorry for her as she really does not know what she wants, we’ll thats not entirely true. I think that if she looked really really hard she will she that there is only one person for her (and Me) and that is Bette. She has lost her way and is lost, please make her find her way back to my woman he he
Damn, damn, damn, I had not read any spoilers and didn’t know about TiBette breaking up. Oh damn, what am I going to do. I love those two together, shit I hope we at least see them try to communicate. IC has a way of leaving a lot out for the audience to figure out, I hope that isn’t the case this season. Oh yeah back to this story, Pancha, I am so intrigued by your story. I desperately missed the Bette of S1 but I wanted to see her with the Tina of S2. I have my fingers cross that maybe you can honor my wish because it seems IC prefers to make war not love.
Ehem, ok i’m back.. Yeah this story is talking too much of my energy. I was writing my own and just couldn’t continue cuz I JUST CAN’T.. *sniff sniff* ok enough with the whole daram queen Fa6.. Here’s what I think, You didn’t ruin Tina’s character (eating my own words) I think Foxworthy made it clear that there were many things that caused Tina to change, and after giving birth I think things can get more complicated for her.. Not contacting Bette now is the right thing she is doing.. LOVE, can’t be enough sometimes, Tina being a bisexual is not wrong. The only thing I didn’t liek about your Tina is the fact that she was KISSING that Robert before talking to Bette, which actually I considered cheating.. I thought i had more to say but now that i’m typing it seems that i forgot half of them.. Well ok, I better go back to writing..
May how the tide changes. Tina wanted this time and space. She wanted an open relationship, because something was missing; however, now that she has the freedom to explore she’s settling. Settling in the safe but fliratious “thing” with Robert. Now she’s passively scoping out women. If Tina wasn’t sure what she wanted, why didn’t she just find someone to talk to about it? If not Bette then a professional. It just seems that she’s lost. Thanks for your wonderful writing and story. Please continue.
yes gf, this is difficult for me but i can take it. *smiling* if i can take what IC is gonna give us i can take you. i at least know your a tibetter. you will take care of them. thanks.
Bette was wrong to cheat on Tina and she knew it. She apologized, tried to let Tina know she cared for her and wanted her. Bette also knew she had some issues to resolve to be a better partner for Tina and she went to work. For her part Tina was hurt and found some solace in Helena. She did indeed try to hurt Bette by flaunting the relationship(is the planet the only coffe shop in west hollywood?) and manipulating Bette time and time again. She’s actually never apologized, never said she wanted Bette and as we can see never tried to work on herself to resolve any issues. Because she was wrong Bette put up with a lot of cruelty from Tina, but found the “bed sharing” to be too much. Its ashamed that Bette can breathe now that she’s away from Tina. Gratefully, Bette isn’t flaunting. Tina needs to face her reality and resolve her issues before possibility of the happy family and love they dreamed of disappears. Tina still seems to be in shock/denial regaridng their break up, even though it was ultimately her choice. Always looking forward to the next chapter.
argh..juz can’t handle all this shit. S3 is so gonna be like this. wake up..tina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done again Pancha, great story, great storytelling… intrigued and curious to see where you’re taking Tina, but I won’t ask because it’s yours to masterfully tell. I will say that someone, somewhere, somehow might want to suggest to the lovely Miss Kennard that autonomy is more than just a 25 cent word…perhaps if the silly woman would just let herself be alone for a little while, instead of needing to be pursued, adored, flirted with, infatuated with, etc… she just might find that autonomy she ostensibly wants. And I take back everything nice I ever said about her hair. You write a good, good story Pancha, it’s compelling to actually feel Tina’s ambivalence and attempts to stave off any real emotions, it lifts right off the page.
