“I can see why you support Angie, but you shouldn’t give Tina any money–for Tina,” Alice had recommended.
“I feel responsible.” Bette said this in such a way that closed the topic.
At least once a week Kit joined Bette at lunch when she visited Angelica and brought food from the Planet. Lara fixed Bette’s favorites. Besides spending time together they both got to play with Angelica.
All in all, Bette was doing pretty well”as well as could be expected.” She was enjoying her work, spending quality time with her daughter and visiting often with her sister and her friends. But she was sometimes lonely at night.
But sometimes…sometimes Bette wondered if Tina was as lonely now as she had been during the first breakup. Bette knew she hadn’t handled that well and that the pain had been excruciating. Now, however, Bette was fairly relaxed; she did not feel anything close to that unbearable loneliness.
Bette recognized that her furious outburst at Tina those weeks ago had been like lancing a boil. It was very painful when it happened, but it released so much poison that had been building inside her that she now felt so much better. The dinner hadn’t gone well, but she got over it much faster than she thought she would.
So Bette wasn’t as angry at Tina as she had been. Truth to tell, she didn’t particularly want Tina to experience the kind of pain she had. Not any more. But, Bette thought, Tina was probably dating and not too lonely.
During all the years with Tina, she had gotten used to having someone in the bed with her. She was used to hearing the breathing of her sleeping partner and being able to reach out and touch or hold her companion. And so she was often restless now.
When she woke up in the morning, she sometimes felt a void in her heart because no one else was in the bed. And no one else was anywhere in the house. It was one reason she liked having Angie at her apartment every other weekend. Someone else was there. And was glad to see her. And wasn’t punishing her.

pancha, still with ya, Can I ask you a question, maybe you have an answer, Why does it seem everyone is so afraid of S3. Bottom line is Bette & Tina desere happiness, wherever thier heart takes them. I like the way your story is evolving, emphasis on story, cause it is great reading,
Gee, Pancha. Got to say I really admire your writing (yes I’m a late arrival). You skillfully juggle many emotions, even capable of conveying poignancy-which is tough. And Peggy in a tank top? It is to laugh.
well i’m still reading… and its still painful… but bette was wronged by tina… and i have faith you will get them back together…
I’m with strtgirl1 great reading,I know as we get into this story more that Tina will wake up and realize what she has done trouble with that is I think it might be to late …we will see won’t we thank you for story post soon..
Wow! I so didn’t want this chapter to end. Bette and Leigh would make a great couple. Bette needs to have a little happiness for a change. I know B&T will probably end up together, but how about Bette having a little fun with Leigh along the way.
Still loving the story. I like that Bette is doing her own thing but I can’t really see her with leigh…to me I don’t think they had chemistry. Please continue!!!
i am still here. I just caught up on the last two chapters. very depressed….will I even watch S3 after this story. Well, I have 23 hours to decide.
I’ve always liked Leigh Ostin as a potential partner for Bette. I thought their meeting in Leigh’s studio was hella hot. Bette didn’t seem clumsy to me but I admit I’m biased. Your story is so outstanding that I’m overlooking the fact that my Tibetter heart is breaking.
Well, Leigh’s back. Well, your Leigh is much better than the one in the show. I like this Leigh more and more. But still, the plan is to let Tina see them and get jealous, rite? Are we on the same page? ;)
im still here3 baby. havent gotten rid of me yet. this is slowly killing me. but as before, love your writing and will be here. leigh braless, hell yeah. thanks.
thank u for putting bette and leigh together on fan fiction,they could’nt betogether on the l word because leigh hadvalerie. i just cant wait for tinas reaction when she sees them at the planet together talking about the ugly green monster tina will be so pissed.
Perfectly natural for Bette to think of Tina as she ventures forward with a potential match. An apparently good one at that. Everyone deserves to be happy. Thanks.
You are a great writer, and love the story. A very bug thank you, for Leigh..very nice touch. Wonder what T will do and say?
Love your writing, but when i read it i usually scream at the screen no dont do that Bette & Tina, Bette & Tina. Ihope Tina see some sense soon or is Holly going to be the one to kick her ass in a nice way
please post again.. great story..
‘The only person that Bette could share art with as much as Leigh was Peggy Peabody. And Leigh looked so much better in a tank top.’ I laughed out loud at that one. Alright I admit it I was pleased when Bette chose to not go to Leigh’s and get it on with her. But when she woke up the next morning I said (a little too loudly), “WHAT THE FUCK?!” Yay for jumping to conclusions. lol It’s really weird though. The notion of Bette being with someone else never really bothered me because I was always more of a Tina fan. But now it’s like I really don’t give a rat’s ass what or whom Tina is doing, and the idea of Bette moving on is…painful perhaps? Maybe it’s because Bette worked her ass off to get Tina back and it seems like she should always be faithful to Tina. But then that wouldn’t be fair to Bette if Tina is just gonna go out and paint the town with whomever looks good at the moment. It’s a vicious mental cycle and I’m shocked it hasn’t given me a migraine from trying to reason away the actions of both parties.
it is painful because it’s like s2 was for nothing, they both already suffered enough…i just don’t know what to think, now we have to watch and read painful stories…but your writing is what keep me reading this story
Good chapter. Well maybe this will make Tina jealous and will get Bette back with her. Ok post soon please, thanks!
When i get the image of Peggy in a tank top OUT of my head ill be able to fully comment……………….Ok think Leigh think Leigh..ok all visuals of Peggy gone now….BECAUSE now i cant take the smile off my face!!! Yes at last someone other than Tina for Bette,WELL you know ive been looking forward to this chapter and you didnt disapoint,it was delicitly written, these 2 are so genuine with each other… maybe im the only one for now but i sense the heat riseing slowly…lol or is that just me!!!lol Ya know i love it..
Great chapter, Bette and Leigh lol good one. Maybe let Tina see them lol That will kick her into thinking about a future with Bette. Please post soon
OK me again ive just read down through the comments and i cant believe the amount of people that hope that Bette being with Leigh will make Tina turn into the greeneyed monster… yeah i think it might make her think hell i hope it does…But this is about Bette trying to move on and not about making Tina want her back, its perfectly natural for Bette to think of Tina when shes with Leigh …Its because Leigh isnt just a one night stand… and Bette knows it too…OK id better stop now cause….oh well just because ..lol
This was such a great chapter!!!! I so like what is going on between Bette and Leigh!!!! I think Leigh will be goood for Bette!!! So when are we going to have a Bette,Leigh and Tina run into each other? Please Post Soon!!!!!!
ways wanted to see Leigh and Bette hook up. Way to go…
The tunnel is getting longer and darker for Bette and Tina, I cant see them getting back together, your title sums it up for me but then again I could be wrong..who knows! only you know pancha305. What I would like is for Bette and Tina to communicate with each other and be honest with their feelings, do they want to try again and make their relationship work or do they want to go their separate ways. I can see both Bette and Leigh falling for each other bad but before this happens Bette has to resolve her relationship with Tina the same also applies to Tina they need to move forward, “together or not together”. Thank you.
Well done again Pancha! Nice to see Bette “processing” some things, even if she isn’t entirely aware that she’s processing them. Very Bette-like. I can see your thinking on Tina, wanting closeness, wanting something — she always wants something, always needs something — an adorable, vulnerable quality on the positive side, needy and manipulative on the other… and not necessarily the way to “healthy moving on.” Personally, she just needs to fix her hair and maybe the rest of her world would fall in line. And don’t worry about the big pretty bow … not so sure anyone expects it, even if they want it. Lovely story, really an amazing read.
Leigh and Bette gets along very well,Yet we all know that Bette is still in love with Tina. The gang should be there for Tina also.If she was unhappy with Bette they find a new playground to play on. To still want to live with Bette was bad. Looks like that Bette might find a new play mate thanks
Bringing back Leigh is a good move cause Leigh is hot. It’s too bad she got a job on CBS and had to move from fake L.A. to fake N.Y.C. I’m going to miss Leigh and her Ostin’s in S3.
B & T are both searching for something that they’ve lost in one another and in each other. No matter what, they still seem to go back to one another — at least their thoughts for right now. They need this time apart right now. JMHO. Thanks for the update. You’re writing is truly amazing. Thanks.
