Bette Exposed Ch. 21
Tina: Baby, dont let your insecurities take over again. You have to stop tormenting yourself. This was not about our love for each other. This was about trying to survive a difficult time. None of this was easy, Baby. We were both in a lot of pain and we both made some foolish choices. But how many times do I have to tell you, I never once stopped loving you.
Bette: Are you sure T? Are you really sure this is what you want? Because if its not, if I am not enough for you, if you truly cant see us spending the rest of our life together I think it would be much better for us to deal with that now. I mean, if you would rather just be friends, I will understand. After all, I had my chance. And even though it would break my heart, if that is what you want I will have to accept it. I owe you that much T.
Tina: Baby, how did we get back to just being friends? You need to get rid of these doubts that you are letting into that beautiful head of yours. We need to move past all of this. We have to stop reliving all the pain and hurt. I dont know what else I can do to make you understand, that this is what I want. A life with you, me and little Katalina. You are my family and I dont want or need anything more than that. Now if you want to think about something, I would suggest you look at the fact that even with all of the power and money of the Peabodys, Helena couldnt hold a candle next to you. I chose you Babe. I want you and only you for the rest of my life. So please, can we put this behind us. Can we move past Candace and Helena once and for all?
Bette takes a deep breath as tears flow down her cheeks.
Bette: I am trying Baby. I am really trying.
Tina: Awww, Babe. I know you are and I wish there was something I could do to take away all the fears and doubts that you are having. But Baby, I promise you as time goes by it will get easier. Just remember how much I love you Babe. Now, what do you say we get up and around before the girls show up and give us more grief about being in bed all day?
Bette: Okay, T. I think I will take a quick shower. Maybe that will help me feel a little better.
Bette gets up out of bed, gathers her things, then goes over and gives both Katalina and Tina a kiss on the forehead before she heads for the shower.
Bette: I love you both so much. Thank you T.
Tina: For what Baby?
Bette: For putting up with me, for loving me, for not giving up on me.
Tina: Your welcome Babe. Just be sure you do the same for me, okay?
Bette: I promise T.

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.
