Babe
*****
Tina quietly closed the door to the guest bedroom. The image of Bette cross legged in mediation position with the sun on her face was seared into her mind. Tina walked down the hallway to Angelica’s room. Angie was still sleeping but Tina knew it would be long before she awoke based on the tingling in her breasts which meant that Angie would soon want to nurse. As Angie grew older the tingling grew less frequent and she could now anticipate sleeping through the night.
Tina went into the kitchen and started coffee for Bette. It felt nice to have her here no matter the circumstances. This was not a Planet morning. Even though she imagined she would have the support and best wishes from their friends it was too soon to appear in public together. She and Bette had not even talked about where they stood with one another.
“Morning” Bette’s soft voice filled her ears.
“Morning yourself, how did you sleep?”
“Pretty good.” Bette acknowledged with some surprise. Tina thought that no one should look so good in yesterday’s clothes and before coffee.
“I made coffee if you want some”. Tina gestured towards the pot.
“Thanks.” Bette poured the steaming liquid into the cup Tina had set out. “You’re still off caffeine I see” noting the tea string in Tina’s mug.
“I may never go back, it’s been so long.”
“I’m not surprised.” Bette replied. “Since you’ve stopped for so long it doesn’t make sense to develop a difficult habit again.”
Tina jumped at the indirect reproach. Bette seeing Tina’s reaction to her comment realized how Tina had taken it out of context.
“Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes a cup of coffee is just a cup of coffee. I know you used to enjoy your coffee a lot. Damn, Bette paused. I did it again. I’m just going to shut up now.”
Tina glanced briefly at Bette and recognized that Bette really had not been attacking her. “I’m just a little sensitive these days. It’s me not you. I thought you were referring to us.”
“Listen, Tina.” Bette rushed to cut her off, not ready for this conversation or where she thought this conversation might lead. “ I can’t do us right now. I read your letter, several times in fact, and there were a lot of things that you said that really threw me. I need a little time. Can you give me a little time before we open that Pandora’s Box? I’d like to talk about Angelica now if we could?”

Oh Wow, this is great. I am such a Tibetter and this story brings such hope to them as a couple. Please Continue.
Ditto.
I thought you did an excellent job especially considering this is your first effort in writing fanfic. You have a clear style of writing and make the characters empathetic.
This is very well done. Though I’m not crazy for Bette and Tina plot lines in general, I have to say this one here was a good read. Mostly because it wasn’t overly mushy but on that token I’ll also say that I got a feeling that Tina was using Angelica to …manipulate Bette. The hidden smile was also a flag to that effect. Well, I’d love to see where you take this. Keep writing!
WOW!!! GREAT START!!!! Please keep it going. I just hope Tina is not using the baby to get Bette back. Thank you PPS
Oh..I like this. It’s how it should be. Please continue.
This is great…really liked it…so hope you continue with more…thanks!
Guess we all will jump on this Bette and Tina train. Post soon thanks
I love your version. Send it to SHOWTIME!
Wow…it’s like you stepped into my brain and had Tina say all the things I am dying to hear in season 4. They need to have a conversation like this. Tina needs to own what she did. Of course this dosen’t mean they are back together…they have to work their way back…but this would be a hell of a start. Oh how I wish you were a writer for Showtime. Please keep posting….don’t leave us hanging
Great writing kelika! This is a really great story. I’m glad Tina is going to do what is best for Angelica, and for Bette. Tina pretty much laid it all out there in her letter, but I was so happy when she told Bette face to face “I want you to have the peace and security of knowing I will never challenge your rights with Angelica again…I think it’s important that we put something in writing now that will stand even if the adoption doesn’t go through.” Tina also needs to tell Bette that she is one of her other top priorities; but somehow I think Bette knows…maybe because of the way that Tina continuously calls her “babe.” I think it will take some time before Bette allows Tina back into her heart completely, but Bette knows she wants her there. They both have a huge amount of forgiving to do, but if they are open and honest with each other they can ‘fix this.’ It’s so sweet how Angelica loves them both so much – how she stretched her neck in search of her mama B when Tina went to get her from her crib; but it’s also sad as I can feel Angelica’s insecurity and how badly she has been damaged by her mom’s ignorance. Excellent chapter. More please!
Great start. Why can’t this happen on the show. Tina wakes up and realizes she’s been a complete ass, as has Bette and they agree to move forward. I don’t think Tina’s using Angelica, I do believe Angelica helps her to realize that it will always be her and Bette.
ROFLOL “She suggested I use my position as Dean to ‘Score chicks'”. This is great and quite believable. I am luvin’ it!
Wow this is great, like it!
This is very well done..I am not a Tibetter either but this is a good story. I think Tina is using the baby to manipulate Bette as well, and I hope Bette gets wise to that really fast. Rock on!
Very interesting beginning which gives B&T fans like me hope for the future – so keep’em coming :o))
great start! I love Bette and Tina stories. Tina’s letter was on point. good job.
i’m also on board… if only we get to see something as close to this on the show… great start… please continue
way to go Angelica…has T been schooling her up? really enjoyable read especially the first scene with Angel and her moms…hope Bette doesn’t resist Tina…PPS
interesting turn of events, keep posting because this tibetter is reading
Please continue. This is a great start and I think it will only get better. Thanks for posting for us.
I’m on board! Please continue.
ABOUT TIME U STOPPED BEING A DUMB ASS
T’is good. Don’t stop. Please continue.
Wonderful start!!!
Thanks for sharing this unusual twist. One question, in your story, did Tina have sex with Henry in their home?
This seems like a great, truthful way to bring Bette and Tina back together. I hope you continue.
I love TIBETTE and this is a great way to start out S4 ( don’t think it will happen in IC’s world) But that’s why we have fan fic! LOL! please continue….
I TOTALLY CONCUR ANDROID OF COURSE YOU WERE CORRECT.
I loved it! I hope you continue.
OMG!! I just found this story and it is truly amazing, so far. This SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEASON FOUR. Tina letter to Bette, was dead on how I felt about things. I always felt the fans gave Tina a raw deal and NEVER HELD Bette, ACCOUNTABLE for her actions, that started everything, ESPECIALLY, the part where even after Tin found out about Candace, and Bette actually had sex with Tina, Bette WENT BACK TO CANDANCE, FOR A FEW MONTHS. Tina had a right to be ANGRY. I would have killed Bette.
