Can the Tide be Changed
*****
Tina was in Henry’s bed at his house. He was asleep on his side and he wasn’t wearing a shirt. She was staring at his back. It was a really unattractive back, it had freckles and birthmarks and hair she shuddered. Is this really what she wanted? Suburbia, a nice, affable guy, people assuming they had adopted a needy black child whenever they were out with Angelica?
Tina finally realized that the fact that she was afraid of being alone and running from one relationship to the next (she had gone from Eric to Bette to Helena back to Bette and then to Henry with barely a break) was not the kind of example she wanted to set for her daughter. Tina slipped out of bed got dressed and left the house and in the Valley and drove home to WeHo.
Tina pulled her car into the driveway behind Bette’s, got out of the car, unlocked the door and went inside the darkened house. She went into the kitchen and took a bottle of water out of the fridge, she walked down the hall figuring Bette would have Angelica in her bed instead of the guest bedroom. Bette’s bedroom door was open and the familiar lights glowed from outside, the pool lights, apparently Tina wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep.
Tina stopped at the bed and kissed Angelica on the forehead without waking her and moved over to the windows and watched Bette swim perfect laps back and forth. She couldn’t help contrast Bette’s back to Henry’s there was no question whose was more beautiful or appealing to the eye, Bette had the most gorgeous back she had ever seen. Tina saw Bette getting out of the pool and hurried away from the window. She didn’t think Bette would be happy to find her in the room staring at her.
Bette thought she saw Tina in her bedroom window when she got out the pool. She shook her head and when she looked again nobody was there. Tina was in the Valley and it was 3:00 a.m. Bette decided she really needed to move on so she could get more sleep her mind had started playing tricks on her.

Such a bizarre concept you have here Madcapper. Protagonists able to control themselves, be civil, consider others.. But I have to say Tina’s soup tastes a lot better when taken orally.
Please continue.
it’s a really good chapter, this is the way i hope will be S4
What a great chapter, I am glad Bette did’nt jump into bed with Tina, I just pray that this is what happens in S4
Brilliant chapter can’t wait till the next onethank you
you should continue, it’s getting interesting…i wanna know more about Mc Dreamy LOL
Hey, I love Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t get showtime so I end waiting till the DVD comes out or reading what happens on this site. I think that it is funny that Tina watches that show. The women are hot on that show and very strong individuals. Back to your story, I love it and am glad to see them reconnecting. It is nice to see Bette wanting to take it slow and not just jump into bed with Tina. Bette knows that they are good together in between the sheets, now they need to work outside of the bed. I know these two can make it work again and only pray that in the real show they get that chance.
I may have to beg you to continue this!! Love it :)
I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy, and I watch L Word at 11:00…That was a great spin on it. I really do hope that you choose to continue this story. I like it very much!
MadC…Love the story. You seem so comfortable writing about them. I really like your writing style. So much better than the L show. lol.
You are cracking me up with the LWord mentions. I hope you continue this. We will only have this in fanfic.
Great story… this is perfect for my sappy heart. THANK YOU!!!! Wish you were writing for you no who!!!
We can dream can’t we. Thankyou MC you give me hope for Bette and Tina
Good story!
so cute and an anti-dote to IC’s never letting these two talk. thank you so much I will read on.
Hi madcap. I’m just reading this story because u don’t seem to be writing on the NY story-this is good!!
Thanks MC! This is exactly what I needed.
Grey’s at 10, L-word at 11, I’m with Tina.love it! keep it commin.
Hey two..count em, two shout outs to Oregon, the mention of Shane going to Oregon City and the Oregon wine here…cool!!! good story…
if only…
thanks for this great chapter… you’re definitely on the right track. I don’t think you should bother about whether the characters are believable or not (they are), because IC and her team never worry about such minor stuff, they’re sooo above that… Looking forward to reading the 2nd chapter… Oh and btw, Henry has the ugliest back I’ve ever seen, it makes me wanna puke.
I think Bette did the right thing not jumping into bed with Tina. She can’t do the having-something-something-with-Tina-then-having Tina-back-then-losing-Tina-again stuff again. She really needs to stand up on her feet first. We all know Tina fancies alpha women. If she really wants Tina back, she has to be alpha again. A bit ironic, huh? I’m also wondering if Bette will have any shadow even if Tina wants to be back. Yeah, we can’t help having feelings for others. But at least, Bette went to Tina again after she knowing what she really wanted. They can’t just go back when Tina is still having feelings for men.
you should definitely continue… and I totally agree with your analysis of Henry’s back.
Oh god we need this, thankyou…normal sane relationship issues…pls continue…this feels like therapy to me…!!!!
See what happens when they actually talk with one another? Great story MC you nailed how good they can be together!
This was a very interesting take and I’m curious where you’re going with it. I’ll be reading. I’m tinkering with a post S3 story but it’s not at all like this. (That’s what fun to me about fanfic–the different takes we all have.) Oh, also…you know I miss WestHolly. Giddyup!
So proud of Bette,we all know where she wanted to be,in Bed with Tina. Let them keep talking. Maybe if they talk,and become friends the gang will let her in the outer circle but not the inner one quite yet. They were will not friends when they met, They became lover and then tryed to be friend Once you are friends and them lover you can’t go back to being friend, they do have a chance to start as friends. thanks
