Breathe Me * Chapter 31 (Final Chapter)
"Tina, don’t leave the room. I can’t chase after you. It will take me a good twenty minutes to get off the couch." Bette tried to joke, hoping to lighten the heavy mood.
Tina walked back to the couch slowly, the bottle of wine in her hand,
"Sorry. I just…"
"I told him I wouldn’t come back unless he could guarantee a transfer to the NY branch."
Tina froze,
"Huh?"
"I’d have to go back to LA initially, at least to get things squared away, put the house on the market, all of that. But assuming he can get the transfer, which shouldn’t be all that hard to do, I’d be able too move here. Would…um….would you want that?"
"Bette, that would be…" Tina felt her tears moisten her cheeks but she couldn’t stop them from falling.
"I’d get my own place, of course. I want to do this right."
"This?"
"Us. I want to date you . I don’t want us to rush into living with one another. I want us to take our time with each other, you know? Tina I ….fuck it, I love you. I love you. You know that. When I told you in the hospital it wasn’t just because of what happened to us with Wills. It’s because when I’m with you….It’s right. I don’t know how else to say it. It just feels right. And Good. It’s amazing – you are amazing."
"I don’t get it. Why have you been so distracted then?"
"Because, Tee. This is so damn good that I don’t want to mess it up. You said so yourself that you weren’t good at relationships. Look how long you were with Eric? It took you two years to give him a key and here I am in your bed and camping out on your couch after a few weeks."
"Bette. You can’t compare this to my relationship with Eric. Eric….doesn’t even register. I was clueless about relationships because I was spending my time with the wrong person, never mind gender. From the first moment I met you I felt it. Only I didn’t quite know what ‘it’ exactly was. I’ve never experienced that immediate connection with someone. You knocked me on my ass. I wanted you. All of you. And not just physically. There will never be anyone else, Bette Porter. I’m not looking for anything else. I don’t want anything else. If you want to live apart initially, then I will go along with it. What ever you want is what I want. But I will expect you to make an honest woman out of me one day. You want honesty, there it is. I may not have been good at relationships in the past. But I never wanted anything or anyone as much as I want this with you."
Bette stared at Tina intently. Any doubt she had was gone, replaced in its entirety by the devotion that was now shining through the blonde’s eyes.
"I guess I’m moving to New York," Bette’s lips curled into a smile as Tina carefully leaned forward..
Tina pressed her lips against the brunette’s mouth, reveling in the electricity in their kiss. After a moment, she pulled back, staring into the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen,
"Yes, I guess you are. On behalf of the NYPD, I’d like to welcome you home."
"It does feel like home, doesn’t it?"
Tina cocked her head to the side and smiled. Her life had changed completely in such a short time. Nodding, she took Bette’s hands in her own,
"Welcome home, baby."

Scaf, thank you so much for the happy ending! I really enjoyed this story, well, all your writing, and hope to see another story when you’re ready
Sad because was the last one, but I really loved the story. Can’t wait to see you writing again
thanks for the wonderful happy ending…hope to see you here with another story
I hate that it has ended! Love your story! It was fantastic! Can we get a part 2! LOL!
Did it really have to end here? It has been an amazing journey. Hopefully you will return.
Excellent story. One of my all time favorites. Loved it from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Oh….*pout*.. don’t end it….please? I’ve loved this, and thank you so much for that little Rizzoli & Isles reference! Take a “breather” (haha) and come back with a sequel soon!
Thanks Scaf for writing the best police themed fan fic I’ve read. Who could ever forget Bad Ass Bette preventing a suspect from escaping when she wrenched his arm behind his back and slammed him on top of Shane’s desk? Or the passionate love scenes between Bette and Tina?Have a good rest and please write us a sequel. You have a wedding to plan so that Bette can make an honest woman out of Tina.
Great job Scaf!!! Thanks for the happy ending…would you consider a epilogue with a “real welcome home moment.” Heh-heh!
Greta, qweet srory, glad the drama’s behind them and whole new life ahead! Tnx for posting, really wnjoyed it, someone mentioned maybe sequel and I’m hoping for it too;))
Aww how sweet, … “Welcome Home Baby. Fantastic story. Really and truly enjoyed it. During the bad parts I was afraid for both of them but you brought them through. Would really liked to have seen some interaction with Tina’s parents, especially her father after the case was solved. He loved him Pumpkin and he truly liked Bette. I wanted them to be able to visit with him and discuss the case a little bit now that it’s over because he would have enjoyed called those other detectives, “buttheads” or worse. Loved the way you wrote her father, he is a very special guy. I wonder what he would have called the perf, I can just imagine. Thanks for sharing this wonderfully loving story with us. A sequel would be wonderful when you can come back with more. Thanks again. .
That was awesome and sweet, love it. so happy for them and love the happy ending. I like the Rizzoli & Isles in here ahhaha, thats cool. Thanks for sharing this with us and hope to se you soon with another happy B&T story, thanks!
Sad to see this story end. I loved it for as it was a straight forward story. No play, full of care, love and emotions. Great story the way I like them. Just hope to read a sequel because this story deserves and own it. Sowell rwritten that it will be crime against humanity if we don’t get a sequel lol. Thank you for sharing this with us Scaf. See you soon.
Thank you scaf! What an amazing story, awesome!!!! :)
Great story sorry that it has ended maybe a sequel up your sleeve, please.
I’m sad to see this story go because it has been so enjoyable to read. Thank you for posting. I hope you come back with another story soon.
Hey Scaf, Thank you for a wonderful adventure and love story. Finally Bette and Tina are together, planning a future in New York. I do think that a sequel would be a great new challenge. Please take a rest and then come back with new interesting and entertaining tales to tell. Thank you so much for a must-read story. Your Loyal Fan.
Yay! THE “GREAT” END!!! Thanks a lot for this wonderful story, Scaf. It’s been an amazing journey, and you brought it to a perfect resolution, without ever drifting away from its original tone and atmosphere. And I loved it. Too often, stories tend to become mushy (sometimes wonderfully so, but still) once Bette and Tina have “done the deed”, and drift away from a great initial intrigue. But you kept us aboard with Agent Porter and Detective Kennard all the way. Thanks for that, and enjoy the deserve break, hoping to see you back soon! Take care! K.
Thank you so much for this story, Im sad to see it end, or maybe a sequel, or another story.Thank you.
I love this story. Thank you.
Thanks for this story!! I enjoyed every chapter, even the icky killer parts. Thanks again.
thanks for sharing. nice story. I agree, u could totally do a sequel! hint (:
Thank you for this mazing story.Please come back soon.
That was bittersweet, I loved how it ended, but very sad to see it end. I loved the journey that you took with this story. I loved how you always had Bette and Tina communicate with one another, and allowed them to admit they LOVED each other.
This story was absolutely AMAZING!!! The intensity, the love, the fear, the shooting, it was all almost too much but not enough. The totally binged this, unable to put it down. Fantastic story and storytelling.
I hope you so an Epilogue at some point. Where are they now lol
