“Tina. You’re talking to Bette. I don’t do lists”
“Oh right. That is Alice’s job”
“And yes Kit will hire that guy.”
“That’s good. She needs some help with the Planet.”
We pull into a parking space in front of the giant store. As we get out of the car, I take Angelica in my arms and head inside. Bette gets a shopping cart . We start putting the groceries we need into it. Walking down each aisle.
“Babe, what was that body soap Alice was talking about the other day?”
“I don’t know. I wasn’t really listening. But I think it was something that starts with an E.”
“Ok. What else do we need?”
I suddenly feel Bette’s arms wrap around me from behind but her body is kinda rigid. It’s one of her protective hugs. Something is up. I try to look around but she stops me by kissing my cheeks and tightening her hug. Now I’m more than sure that there is something going on. And, yes, I finally know what it is when I hear a familiar voice. That voice makes me push Bette a bit with my free arm to turn around and finally get a good view of what Bette didn’t want me to see.
It’s Candace holding a baby. I’m sure it’s hers and Yolanda’s. It looks like she hasn’t seen us yet. I look at Bette as she sighs and looks up at the ceiling defeated.. I look back at Candace who is still checking some stuff on the shelf. Bette tries to hold me again, but, I push her hand away. Then I find myself suddenly putting my free arm around her tightly just when Candace turns around and sees us.
Bette keeps her eyes on me and Angelica; then Candace and I lock eyes. She’s the one who breaks the eye contact first. And walks to another aisle. I keep looking at her; studying her every move. When her figure fades from my sight I take my arm off of Bette and walk to the cashier with Bette in tow.
“Baby.. “
“Give me the keys. I’ll wait in the car.”
She doesn’t argue and hands me the keys. As I walk to the car I feel my anger rising. I don’t know who I am angry with. The only thing that stops me from screaming or hitting anything is my baby. Angelica is enjoying the fast walk to the car as she lets out small laughs with each long step I’m taking. I find myself smiling at the sound of her laughter.

Glad that Tina got herself back on track, she was being just a tad unreasonable. It is after all “a smalll, small world”.
Love this story. I just wish IC would have this kind of dialogue between Bette and Tina on the show. My one wish for S3 is for Tina and Bette to have one scene in the therapist’s office where they let it all hang out and start to mend their relationship. I know it won’t happen, but that’s my wish. Keep writing! Can’t wait for more.
Damn you scared me. Glad they talk and work thing out, now let see what’s next, thanks!
Bette is wiser than Tina. She didn’t say anything about Helena,yet minutes after Tina get angry about Candace,Its not fair. thanks
So sorry about your computer crashing. But thanks for the great chapter! It was a perfect balance of drama and happy. :)
I am still in Denialville and hoping you come back to this story. I will always be wanting B & T together….
you scared me for a moment woman..lol..im glad they were able to talk and work fast their insecurities..thats the way it should be..maybe they can spend sometime alone in a little vacation…cant wait for more thanks :o)
Hope they do something like this in S3
Three chapters? I cry for you too. But you have to learn from Nikolai Ostrovsky who wrote ‘How the Steel Was Tempered’ (I guess BTF knows him better =P). His first draft was missing on the way from the publishing company. He had to re-write it from the very beginning. Hoho, I’m babbling. Don’t be upset. We’re all here for you. =D
That was a really nice chapter. Just enough angst but ending with the right amount of humour, well done! Can’t wait to see what you write next.
you scared me too…not cool, i think i just lost a pound, sweating and nervous…whew..now i’m better…thank for keeping them right on track
it is good to see a story that balances out pancha’s “after loving you”, although i think what IC has done with our girls is more along the lines of another breakup……but as long we can read FF stories where they actually TALK, I will be satisfied, so please keep it up!
Usually if I’m reading something here and something goes wrong I express my thoughts verbally to no one in particular (i.e. “What the hell are they thinking?!”). But after Tina threw the affair in Bette’s face I just dropped my head down and to the right, put my right hand to my forehead, closed my eyes, and sighed. I really love Tina on the show because she’s so sweet, loving, and adorable, but damn, every post-Candyass Tina I encounter in Fanfiction Land carries grudges worse than anyone I’ve ever known, including myself. Maybe that happened in S2 and I was too busy trying to avoid looking at Mark to notice. lol
Great chapter.
:D always makes me smile :D .. not the :) smile of course.. cuz u dont like that.. :D :jester: hehe.. i think u wont have to run from amanda after the way u fixed things there.. :D im sure she’ll forgive u for bringing C into things.. :D
Fa6, maybe I am psycho…I mean psychic….yes psychic :) anyways, I try not to read you mind, but I really enjoy reading deeper into this story, more so than others. so… onto my comment for this chappy… Great writing! hmmm, sometimes you lead me to wonder where you are going with Tina. I’m glad that Candace nor Bette did anything regretable, but Tina? she was so angry over something so uncontrolable. I think she needs to let go and relax a little. I’m not sure what the Helena in your story is like, but maybe she needs to talk with her to get some closure and remove that part of her life. possibly get that chip off her shoulder. And what’s with Tina’s double standards?? Isn’t she the one who not minutes earlier, tried to keep Bette from seeing Helena?? Bette was soooo good about letting go and not even asking tina about Helena, then going on as if nothing happened, then Tina freaks out at the sight of Candace. I would be upset, but I think she went a wee bit over board. Tina has got to learn to control her reactions…. count to 10 or something! Bette’s trying so hard, and I think if she keeps having to walk on egg-shells, it’s not gonna get any better. like I said before, Tina needs to grow and learn from this mistake as much as bette did and does. If she doesn’t get some counceling, or a deep tissue mass-age or something, she’s gonna wither in the self-pitty mode. sorry about my tina rant….. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
Glad Tina saw how unfair she was to Bette. It’s true..Bette cannot control them running the “Carpenter.” LOL. I’m glad they talked about it and worked through their insecurities. Please continue.
That was soooooooooooo close. Bette’s right, they can’t move forward if Tina won’t let go of the past. They both made mistakes, gotta move on girls. So glad Tina came back out and talked to Bette. That would be nice to see in the fast approaching S3.
Fa6, Happy New Year! So sorry to hear that you’ve had to or will have to retype the 3 chapters. It’s good see that you’ve posted. Now on with the comments. It wasn’t nice of Tina to keep throwing Bette’s mistake in her face every time they have an argument or something they can’t control happens as in this case with Candace. Bette is right, they need to move on. Tina needs to move on. At the same time, I do understand where Tina is coming from. Sometimes, we lash out before thinking through our actions/words and how they would hurt our loved ones. The important thing is that Tina realized her mistake and can see that Bette’s action from earlier was supportive, unlike her own. It is still early and B&T have just started to their journey to heal. Hopefully, with time and open communication, they will have learned from all of their mistakes and learn to trust in each other and be supportve of each other again. Thanks and looking forward to the next one.
too much for me sometimes….tina and bette get it together I cant take it anymore
