    Author Notes:

    .

     

    “When you put it that way, I suppose it’s a wonder I haven’t been locked up.”

     

    “Believe me, I’ve thought about it.”

     

    They sat in comfortable silence for several minutes.

     

    “You know you can stay here as long as you want, right?  This place is big enough for the two of us, and I’d be happy to have you,” Kit said.

     

    “Thanks Kit.  I appreciate that.”

     

    “And who knows.  Maybe once you start working through some things, you and Tina can-”

     

    “No,” Bette interrupted.  “This isn’t about that.”

     

    “Okay, okay.  No pressure,” Kit backpedaled.

     

    “I made one appointment.  That’s 50 minutes. Nothing is going to change in 50 minutes.”

     

    “Fair enough,” Kit said.  But inside she was saying a silent prayer of thanks for that rich old meddler who had persuaded her sister to get the help she so desperately needed. 

     

    –

     

    Tina zipped up her jacket as she got in the elevator, rolling her shoulders free of the tension that had settled there in the past hour.  The sessions with Ronnie were emotionally exhausting, but always illuminating, and in the past two months Tina worked hard and learned a lot.  She’d come to understand how she’d been blaming herself for everything from Bette’s affair with Candace, to Angelica’s death, to the ending of her marriage.  It was no wonder that when she and Bette finally separated, she’d been so paralyzed with grief and guilt that she practically stopped living.  With Ronnie’s guidance, she was trying to break those patterns, some of which dated back to her childhood, and find new ways of being in the world.  It was a long process, and sometimes a painful one, but she was committed to it.  And Helena was helping her. 

     

    Tina smiled as her cell phone began to ring.  “Your timing is impeccable,” she said, opening the car and sliding behind the wheel.

     

    “So I’ve been told.  How are you Darling?”  Helena asked.

     

    “Tired.  But okay.”

     

    “We’ll turn in early then.  How does that sound?”

     

    “That sounds perfect.  I’m cooking, so don’t worry about dinner.”

     

    “Are you sure you’re up to it?  I’m happy to call for something,” Helena offered.

    1. this was so touching and still heart breaking…i hope bette will stick around for a long long long time and B&T will work it out..sorry to sound like a broken record

    2. Great chapter, although I found it interesting that Tina and Helena are sleeping together, but not “sleeping” with each other. I’m not sure why I think that is so odd…I would like to see this story end up with Bette and Tina talking, but ultimately, Tina and Helena together.

    5. Why are you so good? Why does your name synonomize (is that a word) what you are? Do you watch Monday Night Football, where the players introduce themselves by their university affiliations? There are the usual, Notre Dame, USC, Florida. Then, there are the players from Ohio who always say, “Johnnie Joe Whatthehell, THE Ohio State University.” You are THE fanficchick. …okay, I digress. It’s New Year’s Eve so, shoot me. THE Techgal…. Amen. Somebody, set off a bottle rocket…Happy New Year!

    7. Compelling as always, ffc. So Bette’s hung around for a couple extra weeks. Interesting. I wonder if she felt Tina’s presence near her as well. Good to know Ronnie kept up her professionalism. Helena and Tina’s relationship sure has transformed.

    8. I know this story needs to be in a slow pace but damn i just wished they would be talkin by now :P Awesome chapter! and i cant wait to know what happened to Bette with the psychologist. Im loving this story. Post soon :)

    11. i hope that woman can help Bette the way she is helping Tina and of course she will know how they are and it will be better please let them be together again please? my new year wish..lol..thanks ffc

    16. I wanted to say, “It does matter Helena so step back even though you’ve been nice”. Bette being there does matter and Tina needs to put two and two together to see that Bette is hurting too and is trying to work on it. I wanted them to see the same therapist in the hopes that she can do couples therapy too! Why not? It would help them and me! LOL

    21. Happy New Year, FFC. I was so excited to see that you’ve posted. So, Bette is still in LA 2 weeks after the closing of the house. I guess that 50 minutes with the psychologist must’ve been productive and she must be going back for more… Hope you’ll let us read about some of the conversation with the psychologist. Thanks again, FFC.
