Tina: Bette, I cant deny that I cared about her. I couldnt have been with her if I didnt have any feelings for her. But I dont believe I was ever in love with her. Not the way that I love you. She was just good to me. She helped me through a bad time.
Bette: Why her T? Knowing how I felt about her, why did it have to be her?
Tina: Baby, she was just there. And I suppose, subconsciously, I wanted you to feel a taste of the pain that I had felt and she was the perfect means to accomplish that. But as time went on and I saw the pain in your eyes, I realized that hurting you was only making things more difficult. Seeing you in pain only made me realize how much I still loved you. No matter what I did, everything always came back to you. Baby, can you get past this? Can we put Helena behind us?
Bette: I want to T. Its just really hard for me. I mean, I accept full responsibility for pushing you away from me and into her arms. It is just hard for me to deal with fact that you had feelings for her. I know I messed things up by turning to Candace, but I never had any feelings for her, I never cared about her. I used her as a means to escape the pain I was in. But I never wanted a relationship with her. I guess I never thought you would walk away from our relationship so easily and get involved with someone else so quickly. It just scares me T. It scares me to realize just how quickly I can be replaced, how easily you could move on.
Tina: Baby, you were never replaced. You never could be and there was nothing easy about this whole mess. I guess its just a matter of how you want to look at it.
Bette: And how would you suggest I look at it, T? Because Im having a real hard time getting past the fact that our seven years together didnt mean as much to you as it did to me. That you could just walk away from our life together and begin a new life with someone else without even giving us a second thought. I have a hard time understanding how you fell out of love with me so quickly. Or was it even quick at all? Had you fell out of love before then? Is that why it was so easy for you? Had I already lost you? Were you just going through the motions?

I love this, these are all the questions that I have for Tina and Bette. You have put them all so wonderfully and I love that Tina is so patient. Thanks
That was very realistic, i can really see the two of them having that conversation. Great Story!
Ah that twas beautiful. You must continue.
I’m off to write a paper for school. Grr! I’d rather write fanfiction!
How can Bette think that Tina didn’t love her as much? She’s the one who did the jailhouse rock w/Candace (as well as the B&B Boxstep and the CAC Cha Cha). Even after the affair was revealed, Bette took her own sweet time to kiss Candy good-bye. I think she’s gotta cut Tina some slack on this stuff. (nicely done.) Psst…Bette — stop being a poopy head.
Great chapter yet again Thanks
for sure these are all questions that need to be asked and maybe more than once. Like the way you show how they both need time to come to terms with everything. Continue – continue!
I think Bette has hella nerve saying ANYTHING to Tina about Helena after she was the one to cheat with Candace. She started it, and she should just woman up and shut up!
Okay then.
Bette needs to focus her mind on that baby and give Tina a rest – but figuratively and literally – she went into all that drama while Tina was feeding the baby Then she got up and took a shower, never offering to burp the baby, change a diaper or anything else?
She oughta be with me! I’d have her a** changing diapers so much she wouldn’t have time to dwell on Helena or anything else but whether she could get a nap before the baby woke up again. Breast pumps were made for partners like her – to get her a** involved in the process instead of navel-gazing while the real work of childcare goes on!
Wow, you can tell this chapter got me pretty worked up, huh? Well, you got to this audience!
I’m cranky and I think I need to be put down for a nap.
Thanks for posting another chapter!

Just wonderfull Shades – and yes you are right..we all need answers on these questions and will we get them in the show – let´s find out.
Great update on your story ……keep up the good work. Post soon
Just read this one….I’m like 2 weeks late. But I have to say that this is totally plausible to me. I mean…Bette was away on a soul searching journey for months, her mind filled with images of Tina moving on with her life WITH HELENA. She’s only been back a short time. She hasn’t had a chance to really process everything. Her mind is still stuck in “Tina hates me and wants me out of her life” mode. Which is really how things were when she left. So, I totally see her fears and doubts as believable. And from what we have seen on the show…Bette did have an affair. But Tina started a relationship with someone. That is a very key point that isn’t really touched on very much. I understand that the affair was wrong…but Tina is not innocent. She was still “married” to Bette, yet she carried on a relationship with another woman. That’s hella shady to me. Just my humble opinion. Man…these are not real people. Why did I just take up so much time ranting about fictional characters?? I don’t know. In any event, great post with insightful dialog and realistic emotions.
